One of the easiest and best ways to

to entice tie unwary to charge the
feigned drunkard into a geme of
the latters own choosing, which
terminated always in the sharper's
favor and after which a most lugu-
brious scene frequently followed.
The victims, believing the sharper
drunk and not s%uspecting his real
character, jumped at his tricks to
obtain disreputably the trickster's
money, but it would not be many
minutes before n realization of
their loss would dawn upon them;
then there would be commotion,
weeping and wailing such as is
heard only this side of shoel.
The victims belonged to no partic-
ular class: the rustic swain, the
dapper gentlemen, the doctor, the
lawyer, the preacher, the officer,
and women, were alike taken in.
These monte men became SO
troublesome to the railroad au-
thorities that engines were un-
coupled from their trains & mile

village. receive water. u back to
the train, couple, and run through
the town at full speed. to protect
passengers from being ieeced by
these fellows.

EARLY HISTORY
of Bat
tie fountain.

The first house erected in the
Northern part of Lander county
was an old adobe, built by some
emigrants from Missouri; it stood
on what is known as the Brinsden
ranch. This ranch is now owned
by W. d. Addington and part of
the old adobe is still standing.)
The same parties cut and stacked
some hay neal it. This house was
built probably in 1862; for
the late Ephriam Pickett says he
came to the Humboldt in 1868,
and it was then standing. Robert
Boone was interested in the hay
cut and stacked; and as he was
one of the emigrants just men
toned, it would appear that he
was one of the parties interested
in the building of the house men
toned.
In 1864 E. Pickett and John
Hovenden bought fish and ducks
of the Indians for the Austin
market and, they continued to
trade with the Indians for several
years. They state, that at that
time, the best fishing ground along
the Humboldt was between the
Brinsden and Crum ranches.
Among their Indian customers vas
nn old chief known as Captain Adj
dick, whose camps we're on the
Brinsdcn ranch. They spoke of
Captain Addick as being an honest
and faithful friend to the whites
and that when he was hear they
had naught to fear. This old
chiefs people were called Thona-
matsa Indians, all of whom have
disappeared long ago.
In 1866 this old chief came to
the late Ephriam Pickett and said
10 him, Il know where heap nap
peas'-meaning gold; "by and by
| take you see um.n Being anx-
ious to find the gold mentioned
by the old chief, he did not wait
for the Indians guidance, but
started on the next morning in the
direction indicated by the chief:
and as the Indian had ridden from
the ledge to Pickett, the latter had
no trouble to follow the formers
trail. Pickett followed the trail
in company with one. st. Clair. to
a creek, where he saw a flock of
ducks fly up. from which circum-
stance he called it Duck Creek.
Here the Indian had dismounted.
but Pickett and his companion
followed the chiefs tracks over the
summit south of the canyon until
they came to evidences of mineral.
and while st. Clair was examining
them, he went further down the
mountain where he found a ledge
of pure copper whereupon he call
ed to st. Clair. Il have found the
virgin ledge-pure copper from
this fact it was called the Virgin
Ledge. the richest copper mine in

whom he had been separated many
years. He was in high spirits at
the thought of seeing his family,

have been his chagrln and vexa-
ton when he called at the bank in
which his money had been deposit
ted, to get money with which to
pay for the tokens of love, to be in
formed that the institution had
failed. The reader can imagine
for himself. He did not think OF
suicide, nor did he give up; but
started out on the hunt for another
mine. and believed that, though it
be late, still it was bound to come.
This mine is in Copper Canyon,
eighteen miles south of Battle
Mountain, and has proven to be a
very valuable property.
In 1867, Robert McBeth and
Geo. w. Fox discovered and To-
Gated the Buena Vista mine, the
first location made In Galena Min
ing District. The first house built
was put up by Robert McBeth. Ii
was a cabin and stood where John
Mellander now resides. Most OF
the mines around Galena we're dis
covered by Robert McBeth. He
worked several of these mines sue
cessfully for several years.
The first quartz mill erected in
the northern portion of Lander
county was near the Little Giant
mine in Old Battle Mountain Dis
trict in 1868. This district has
since been merged into Galena
District.
The Central Pacific Railroad
having been completed across the
county in 1868, two stations were
established within its limits: one
twelve miles east of Battle Noun
tain, called Argenta. the other six
miles west of the same place
named Piute. Soon after the com
pletion of this road, r. McBeth
commenced shipping ore over it,
and as Argenta and Piute were re-
spectively twelve miles, and eight
miles farther from his mine than
the place where Battle Mountain
now stands, McBeth induced the
managers of the road to build a
station at the latter place. The
establishing Of this station drew to
it all the shipping to and from
Austin. besides it received con-
siderable business from the copper
mines in Copper Canyon and the
silver mines of Old Battle Noun
tain and Galena District. The
citizens of Argenta seeing the adj
yantages of Battle Mountain
Sta.ion-for this was its original
name-moved their houses and ef-
fects to the latter place.
Robert McBeth was authorized
by the railroad company to select
a railroad section on which to To-
cate the station. He nailed a
Single to a telegraph pole that
stood opposite where SCOTS Hall
stood (Which building then stood
between the old bottling works
and Rae's blacksmith shop and
put on it the notice of the location
made.
The first house was built by
Dan Ryan in 1869, and stood near
the middle of the street opposite
Mrs. Morgan's hotel. Among the
first citizens to locate in Battle
Mountain were John McWilliams,
j. A. Blossom, Dow Huntsman,
Aaron Layton and Daniel Nc
Intyre.
Sadorus. Cope and Burnette es-
tablished a stage line between
Battle Mountain and Austin in
1870. The first school house stood
near Blossoms residence. The
first Board of Trustees were J. A.
Blossom. Dow Huntsman and j.
Kinney. The first teacher of the
public school was Miss Maggie
Hinton. First school taught was
a private one, presided over by
a Mr.. Davey.

] CHARITY
And One Of Its
Exponents.
Needle Work Guild . i
Having Busy Time.
All the Old Officers Will Serve
Another Year.

The collection of articles by the
Needlework guild, and the annual bus
mess meeting, was held Friday, in the
rooms of the guild at the Walsh block.
Beside the collection there was an ex-
hibition Of articles which lasted all
day. The collection Of articles that
have been gathered this year, while
less numerous than those collected hast
year, is said to be finer and Of q more
practical nature.
The demand for the articles this year
is said to be smaller than last, but
the collection last year was made later
on, when the cold weather had ar
rived, and the necessity and suffering
were greater.
AT the business meeting all the Off
GERS were reelected, and the distribu-
ton of the articles was voted ON. They
will be given out as follows:
Akron City Hospital, Poor Director
Kendall, Mary Day Nursery, Howard
st. Gospel Mission, Salvation Army,
Women's Relief Corps, and the Nee,
dlework school guild. The latter is
branch Of the Needlework guild that
provides for such of the school chill
dren as are not taken care of by any
Of the other charities, and the work
is done quietly and well.
Although the guild is heard Of but
once a year by the general public, at
the time Of the annual meeting, the
work goes on all the year round, and is
power for the relief of suffering In
the city and the most active auxiliary
Of the various charitable organizations
Of the city. There is no private dis.
tribution Of articles, and imposition
Of all kinds is carefully guarded
against. ~
The rooms in the Walsh block were
the scenes or busy time, Saturday
morning. The various articles COM
prislng clothing for men, women and
children, were being carefully count
ed and sorted, and preparations made
for sending them to the various chari-
table institutions for which they have
been voted.
An especial effort will be made by
the members of the Guild to keep AK.
ron people interested in the work dur
ing the whole Of this year. There are
from 900 to 700 members at present,
and the intention Is to raise the num-
Der to at least 1900. The whole aim
is charity and the work should receive
the support of all the people, all the
time.

National Championship
Tourney at Buffalo.
Gun Club Ready For
Thanksgiving Shoot.
Billy Coleman Looking For An
other Match With Smith.

The annual bowling tournament for
the championship of the United States
will be held at Buffalo this winter,
under the auspices of the Western New
York Athletic association. The dates
for the tournament are from January
20 to 28. inclusive. All the games will
be bowled on six new alleys, which
will be built especially for this event.
A new departure this year will be,
that each team will bowl three games,
the total number of pins to count, and
each game will be bowled on different
set of alleys. As there will be six
alleys in all, this arrangement will
provide that each club will bowl a
game ON every alley.
This is regarded as n big improve
ment over the arrangement at the tour
hament at Chicago, last year, where
the clubs drew lots for the alleys to
be used and were obliged to use the
same alley all through.
AS alley No. and 2, st last years
tournament were said to be out of
level. 1t placed the clubs bowling on
them at disadvantage. The Peerless
that drew these "Jonahs,"' as they
were dubbed at the tournament.
The Peerless club will attend the
meeting at Buffalo. Their entry fee,
as a Eve man club, will be $50. Two
man teams are entered for $40, and
individual bowlers may enter the tour
nament for S.. The list Of prizes that
will be given will comprise a
sum Of more than $1,000, and the var
ious passenger associations have offer
ed reduced rates for the clubs who
wish to attend. The Peerless club
will probably enter their fve-man team,
q two man team, and two individual
bowIers.
Frank Cohen who will manage the
Peerless bowlers, has been appointed
q special representative of the assocla-
tion, for Akron and vicinity, and has
entry blanks and all necessary informa
tion, for bowlers from Akron or vicin.
ity who may wish to attend the tour
nament.
