bodies Of gold and silver From the sale Of his
mines In seven weeks ne received, 1t is said
SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS.
He now had money to burn. and notwithstand-
ing he was on the shady side Of sixty, with his
hair and beard long and unkempt, he was con
sidered a great catch by the mothers Of marriage
able daughters.
BY the aid of a barber, a few Turkish baths and
a tailor Wit Chew was changed from the rough
evil.looking man of the caves to a very respec-
table, fine looking elderly gentleman
In this improved condition he returned to his
old home in the east where 30 years before he had

could scarcely realize that she was not his old

In september Of 1888, Wit Chew and his diving
wife visited Boston to consult az a last resort a

couple returned to their Denver home. The

developed and after a consultation of physicians
Wit Chew was advised that his

the elder physician, but she cannot last long "
Then it was that Wit Chew sent to Dr. c.
