RICH POCKET MINE.
After Two Yean Work . True Fessive
Vein L Discovered,

J.W Downing has developed regu.
lar ten foot ledge at Ashcreek, klamath
river, In which several rich pockets have
been found. Forty pounds Of quartz from
one pocket lately found, contains at least
s, 900 and he has shipped away over 200
pounds Of rich specimens. All the ledge
Is Of high grade ore, and he Is now min.
ing It In regular order to have the quartz
hauled to mill, without picking out any
specimens punches as heretofore.
This claim has produced several ex.
ceedingly rich pockets for few years
past, supposed to be float quartz, as the
development Of a permanent ledge has
but lately been effected, after couple Of
years diligent work on the part Of Mr..
Downing and his assistant.
We were shown some specimens he
brought to town yesterday for depositing
In the bank, all Of which exhibited glitter.
ing gold to the naked eye in great quan.
tity, such as no klondike or Cape Nome
country can excl. About two years ago
Burcham and Nichols found u pocket in
this claim, from which they realized
s, 300, but found no more quartz after
working a long time, when they finally
sold out to Downing.
A few months ago Downing found an.
other pocket yielding several hundred dol.
lars, and has continued prospecting with
excellent success In finding rich speci.
mems, and well defined ledge that prom.
ises to he the richest In Siskiyou.
The claim was bonded to an eastern
company, through an agent, for $4,000,
running out May I. At the expiration Of
the time, Downing went to work again
and almost Immediately ran on this pocket,
securing the rich specimens In the pres.
ence Of the eastern agent. The agent was
all right In efforts to come down with the
purchase money, but the capitalists be.
hind him wanted the claim thoroughly eX.
amined by the experts before buying, thus
delaying their bargain until too late to
clinch it.-ireka Journal.

Every Time He WAS HARD Up ao Shot
OF One OF His Toes,
I'VE run across lots OF things In this
line of business that would make tip
top newspaper stories," said an old
time accident insurance man to New
Orleans Times-Democrat reporter.
"but very few of them ever leak out.
What have in mind especially are at
tempts to defraud the company. AS
rule we let such matters drop, If
the claim Is withdrawn, but sometimes
we pay when we could clearly win
suit, simply to avoid the unpleasant
advertisement of litigation. Frequent
ly the cases are very curious. call
to mind fellow in certain little
town who presented a claim against
our company for the loss of a toe. Ac-
cording to his story he was cleaning
his pistol, when the weapon went of
accidentally and the second toe of his
papers made out all right, and on its
surface the case seemed perfectly
straight and honest, but some instinct
warned me that we ought to inyesti-
gate. An old insurance man develops
singular sixth sense in such matters,
by the way, and will often spot fraud
without being able to tell how he does
it. looked into this particular affair
myself and found the claimant limp
ing around with one foot bandaged up
as big as pillow. When l suggested
an examination by our own doctor he
got highly indignant, but l was firm
and finally he consented. had ex-
pected to discover all Ave toes intact,
but, to my amazement, we found only
two. Three were missing. a couple of
the stumps showing old scars and the
other fresh wound. With consider
able embarrassment the fellow ex-
planned that he had met with two pre-
vious accidents of the same sort, and
found upon inquiry that he had been
well insured on each occasion. When
ever he got hard up he simply shot
of toe and replenished his exchequer
from the insurance companies. 1t was
a good scheme. but necessarily had Its
limitations. and l told him he might
improve It greatly by getting married
and shooting OF his wife's toes. When
the lady became toeless he could Sc
cure an Oklahoma divorce and marry
another with full set. He was Ill
natuIe ed enough to take offense at my
badinage and said we would hear from
his lawyer. We never heard"

is 100 miles above here. In about three
weeks we came back here and were
stationed inside the city. We are quar-

closer i climbed out the hind end of

had sworn he wouldn't go, but he went

Winner.

Ga Sunday the Carson baseball team
paid Gardnerville visit for the pur-
pose of contrasting supremacy on the
diamond. Along with the boys some
two hundred people OF the Capital
City rode, drove and walked to the
city up the valley and everyone who
visited had royal time.
The game proved little good thing
for the Carsonites, as they rolled up d
big score before the valley lads quite
knew what happened.
The game called out everyone in the
valley and it is likely that tho boys
will visit Carson some day in the neal
future and attempt to take the honorS
back with them. The score stood &C
to 6 in favor of the Carson team.
