almost froze and starved to death. He
was, In fact, on his way back to San
Francisco when news of the gold discov-
cries reached him. He started at once for
the new FL Dorado which he reached
with total capital In cash of So.
He took UP claim on Snow Creek. and
the first week he panned out $500 in gold.
Last year he took out $4,000. Next year
Mining Commissioner Haynes, of Nome,
predicts that the product of his mines
will reach at least $4,000. Just now Jake
Halsey, who is thirty-two years old, is
enjoying Life in San Francisco. He has
a trifie over $4,000 In bank there as
spending money and is described as wear
ing as many diamonds as the entire city
council Of Chicago can boast. Nobody
knows just how rich he is, but offers have
been made and refused for his claims
which are at least large enough to entitie
him to be called millionaire.
When he worked In Chicago three years
ago he was a sandwich man on the
streets, a waiter In restaurant, snow
shoveler, hostler, and q roustabout at
the stock yards.
In 1890 Miss Nellie M Horton was g
manufacturer Of pepsin at Cleveland, o.
One day as she sat In front of her type
writer the idea came to her that If the
pepsin could be put into chewing gum
it would have a good sale. She made the
suggestion to her employer, who laughed
at her. That laugh hurt Miss Horizons
pride and made her fortune. She set to
work to discover the formula for properly
combining pepsin and chewing gum.
When, after much work. she found
it, she had it protected by the patent Of
fee. Then for the second time she went
to her employer and told the story. This
time he did not laugh. He saw that the
young woman was in earnest and that
her ideas had merit. Finally he paid
$4,000 for the suggestion he had previ-
ously scorned, in addition to which Miss
Horton was given an interest in the bust
ness. AS years went by the gum which
she had invented became increasingly
popular, and her income increased ac-
cordingly.
The other day she was married to
George A. Manning, of Boston, and it
was reported at the time that her private
fortune was far up towards a million dol
lars. all made out of the chewing gum
habit, which she had done so much to
foster and promote. And as Mr.. Man
ming is a lady's tailor, there is every
reason to suppose his wife's fortune will
grow, while other women are spending
their money for new spring gowns.
UNIQUE AS A MONEY MAKER.
Among the most unique methods ever
invented for securing great income is
that adopted by Thomas j. Shelton, now
located at Denver, Col Mr.. Shelton sells
vibrations at the rate of 81 each. His
claim is that in some way his inner con-
seriousness, his lego" is the controlling
force in human affairs. Through a subtle
and unseen connection he is able to in
fuence any man in any desired direc-
tiOn.
1t is through vibrations sent out over
miles Of space from his inner self that
these results are brought about. He
has all kinds of vibrations in stock.
Thus If a patient is poor and desires
riches Mr.. Shelton will send out a "suc-
cess vibration or any number OF them,
at cost of 81 each. Success vlbra-
tons are also prescribed when patient
wishes to make "a HIT In Wall street,
or when the outcome of any financial en-
terprise Is in doubt Among others, he
claims to have "vibrated" for strug-
Cling artist in New York. who, as a re-
suit, sold painting to George Gould for
$4,000. AS a result of vibrating" in
dustriously Mr. Shelton is said to have
an income of $4,000 year from his prac-
tice, in addition to large amount in
vested in mining and other enterprises.
The facts concerning the Inheritance
from his uncle Of $5O,00O,000 by James
Henry Smith. of this city, are too recent
to be forgotten by the public.
