The patrons of downtown hotel,
much freQuented by farmers and min
ers, were considerably startled one aft
ernoon recently when tall individual
with bright green hair, whiskers an d
eyebrows walked up to the desk and
calmly registered as Charles w. Long,
from Ward, New.
The clerk, used to almost any kind of
strange visitors, stopped short in the
middle of sentence intended as an an
SWer to an inqulrlng guest who wanted
to know when the O'Clock train for the
north would leave, and with puzzled
look eyed the verdant arrival. The
loungers around the lobby were at
tracted one by one, and gazed with
wonderment at the haired
stranger, who, unconscious of the SEN
sation he created, quietly asked to be
shown to a room. A reporter ventured
shortly atterward to interview Mr..
Long, determined to find out what DuSi-
ness such queer-coiored hirSutic ap-
pendage had outside a dime museum,
and received the following explanation
lips:
II have for some time been working
In the Martin White mine at Ward, New,
and what appears strange to you is a
common sight where [ came from. We
have lots of green-haired people there.
Every shade of green, from the darkest
bottle color to the brightest grass green,
is represented in the mems hair at that
nine. The reason for it is connected
with the ore. The latter is base, and it
is necessary to roast the whole of it.
During the roasting process no disagree
able fumes are observable. yet the hair,
the boards and the eyebrows of all the
men engaged about the works are soon
dyed a bright and permanent green.
''ln scores of Nevada mines ores of
various kinds are Smelted and roasted,
but at none of them is either the hair or
beard of the WOrkmen changed from it's
natural hue.
lit is said There was arsenic in the
ore of the Martin White than in that of
many other mines. Old smelters say
that arsenic has no such effect On the
hair, and all declare that the green color
impaired TO 1t is due to the presence of
some unknown and mysterious metal or
mineral.

hair takes grass green, whereas black
or dark brown hair is dyed deep bot
tie green. The hair is not injured by
the color, and retains It's original
strength and stiffness"
This is the manner in which Mr.. Long
explained his extraordinary appearance.
He Will remain here for some time. and,
even if he escapes the ever-vigilant
agents for dime museums. and is not
hired as freak for one of those estab-
shments, he will certainly create
sensation on the public streets every
time he ventures out for walk.
