hard TO convince capitalists of the fact.
Some months ago the FLORIDIAN told
the story of an immense find of the rich
est kind of rock made by Davids & Sea-
bury in their prospecting on the property
belonging to g. w. Saxon, Emil Dubois,
G. H. Meginniss ard Seabury & Davids
about two miles west of the city.
Pits were dug and samples were analysed
the showing made convincing the owners
that thew had big thing.
Aimed with samples of the rock, certi-
fed analyses and aps of the property Mr..
w. L. Davids went north to effect sale
and he made 1.-THE price secured being 30
big that it has left the owners almost
breathless.
The sale was made to Boston capitalists,
represented by B. c. Nudge. The tract
contains 1869 acres.
Mr.. Nudge came to Tallahassee this
week to inspect the property and see if it
came up to representations before signing
the contract. After his examination he
was even more anxious to buy than the
other parties had been to sell, and the con-
tract was signed Immediately. This is not
sale in toto, for Saxon ct ais. are to re-
ceive in addition TO the purchase price q
royalty on every ton mined from the land.
The price sold at has not been made
public, but Mr.. Saxon assures represent
alive of the FLoRIDIAN that it will re-
quire six figures 10 state the considera-
ton, and the first figure of the group is
not the lowest one of the numerals
either.
In addition to this large sum cash down
the royalty will amount to more than
5000 day when mining operations get
we'll under way.
The consideration price will be paid
just as soon as the deeds can be made out
and signed and an abstract Of title made
up.
The Boston capitalists have entered
into contract to begin mining operations
within ninety days. They will put in
ee machines with capacity of 800
tons each day.
Mr.. Nudge says one Of these machines
will be shipped and placed in position
within thirty days and that the others
will quickly follow.
The Florida Central and Peninsular
Railway Company has already begun an
estimate on the cost of building spur to
the mines, which will only require to be
one mile long.
Mr.. r. L. Bennett of the Tallahas, ee
Northern has made a proposition to tie
syndicate, agl eeing to build his line OF road
through the property and give them tram
sportation facilities by the time mining
begins if they will contract to give him a
certain plumber Of tons Of phosphate TO
hail.
1t is also said that the Florida, Georgia
and Western and the Carrabelle, Tallahas
see and Georgia will build in a Decline IL r
the mines and put on a squirt to get there
quick.
This is but the beginning of the Leon
county boom. Money will coon be here in
unstin,ed thousands seeking investment.
The FLoRIDiAN congratulates the gen.
tlenlen interested on their big run of luck
md hopes they will soon be so rich that
they can help materially in building this
into big, bus ling city.

order in the legislature claimed the

wholly endorsed by the Alliance of

G. B. RICHARDSON.
A WELL KNOWN FIGURE GONE
FROM AMONGST US.
After Years Of Struggle He Dies When
Great Wealth Is Plainly in Sight
in His Oil Wells.

There passed away from sight yester-
day man whose familiar figure on the
streets has been known to all the citi-
zens of Los Angeles for twenty years or
more. G. B. Richardson was one OF the
best known men in this section. He
was born at Savannah, Georgia, fifty
one years ago. About the breaking out
Of the war he was graduated from the
University of Tennessee, and at the first
call for confederate troops he was one OF
the first to respond. He was captain
Of artillery, and it was the constant
conclusion Of the heavy guns
that caused the deafness which charac-
terized him here in Los Angeles. At the
close of the war he went to Yale, where
he was duly graduated in the courses Of
classics and law. Having taken his de-
grees he returned to California, and
finding legal business anything but
brisk, he accepted a position in family
at San Bernardino as tutor. He was q
ripe and accurate scholar in many
branches OF literature. His deafness,
which increased as he grew older, acted
as great barrier to his practice of the
law.
Years ago Mr.. Richardson became con-
WINGED that the mountains around New
hall were rich in deposits of oil. He
took up territory there to the
extent of $40 acres, and set to
work to accomplish the development
Of the treasures he felt convinced lay
beneath the surface. 1t was no light
undertaking for man without large
means. But Richardson's faith in the
value of his lands never faltered. Some
time ago he succeeded in interesting an
old-time college chum who had money
to take half interest in the scheme,
and they proceeded to sink wells. The
securing OF the land and the time spent
in getting some one with capital inter-
ested exhausted all the means of Rich
ardson, and as a consequence he had to
practice the most self-denying and rigid
economy for years. His health, chat
tered by long service in the army, gave
way under the tax imposed upon it, and
for years he has been consumptive.
Within the past year or 80 the wells sunk
have proved to be very good ones, and the
deceased had just entered on the road to
great, possibly to fabulous wealth. The
last well sunk is now yielding l25 bar
rels day. The net income of the man
who held on so long and worked so hard
has recently oeen not less than 500
day. But the strain on his health has
been too great, and for month past
he has known that he could not live
long. He died yesterday He has
sister at the old Georgia home, whom it
is understood inherits nearly all the
property. He told an attorney OF this
city, close friend of his, short time
ago, that he had made an oliographic
will to that effect. The document has
not yet been discovered, but no doubt
exists.
1t is difficult to estimate the value of
the property left. 1t may easily be
worth a million dollars.

MR.. wHALING's CONFIDENCE
He Does Financial Favor Which
Results as Usual.

Mr.. Michael Whaling is victim OF
misplaced confidence. A few days ago
stranger, dressed in poor but honest
clothes, and with a capitalistic express
sion on his face, walked into Mr.. Whal-
ing's law office and introduced himself
as Mr.. John Richault of Yuma. He had
an important mining suit which was
better than the suit which he had on,
for he offered Mr.. Whaling a retaining
fee OF $3.50 to take it, with a promise Of
$3.50 more when the case came to trial.
Mr.. Whaling took the case, but not the
fee, for the mining man said he would
bring his papers up the next day and
then make payment.
Next afternoon Mr.. Whaling was me-
andering along Spring street, pondering
on the power of a resolving minority,
when Mr.. mining man rushed up,
grabbed his hand, pumped it up and
down vigorously, and said:
so glad / met you, Whaling; thought
ia have to go way up to my hotel.
How much money have you got with
your"
The mans manner was SO impetuous
that Mr.: Whaling involuntarily drew
UuV AlAo iitciC lCdtucT purse ana QlSclOSo0
the fact that it contained exactly five
silver dollars.
"Just exactly the amount l need"
exclaimed the capitalist from the sun
kissed territory, quietly taking the coins
from their place Of safety. "Just exactly
what | needed. Happened to be clean
out of funds for the moment. So good
OF you. just wait here fifteen minutes
and I'll be back and 60 and get the
money for you."
The mans vigorous, hearty manner
momentarily confused Mr.. Whaling.
and as he closed the empty purse, the
borrowers form disappeared around the
corner.
Mr.. Whaling is a patient man, or he
never could have endured his lot on the
board OF education. bnt when he waited
an hour and a half for the capitalist to
return, without avail, he softly muir
INJURED his convictions to himself and
going back to his office returned to
their places on his book shelves the
books on mining law lie had taken
down SO as to read up for the great case.
