He became the editor of the "Tonopah Daily Bonanza" and drove the I. W. W.'s out of Tonopah. Later with Henry Bartlett, brother of Congressman Bartlett, Mr. Travers established the "Round Mountain Nugget" at Round Mountain, Nevada, where a badger in digging a hole, had uncovered a "slab" of gold, resulting in the founding of the town. Since those days of long ago, he has published other newspapers and books, "ran" for mayor of his home town (receiving the highest vote and defeating three other candidates) and served nearly four years as postmaster, resigning to come to Florida. Mr. Travers and his devoted helpmate, his inspiration, will celebrate their silver wedding-God willing-next October. We trust that this little volume will prove interesting to the lovers of Beautiful Palm Beach, our adopted home." EXCERPT FROM HISTORY OF BEAUTIFUL PALM BEACH SECTION: "What a world of meaning in those words. Beautiful Palm Beach-a paradise even as a rough unpolished gem in a tropical setting, in the days of long ago. It was called Lake Worth at that period."It was in 1867 that Palm Beach had its beginning. At that time, the entire section from the head of the lake to Boynton, was called Lake Worth, though the Indians called it Hypoluxo. The lake itself was a body of fresh water then and had been given its name in honor of Brigadier-General Wm. Jenkins Worth, of Hudson, N. Y., by soldiers who had come here to round up Indians and transfer them to Tennessee and Indian Territory. Fort Worth, Texas, also was named in honor of Gen. Worth."
