BOOM AT MINERAL PARK
Turquoise Finds Giving the Historic
 old Camp New Life.

Mineral Park. July 11.-(Special cor respondence of The Republican.)-T quoise--that is all the craze at present. Something like thirty years ego some prospectors in rambling over the moun- tains around Mineral Park came across an old abandoned shaft. It had caved in. but the bottom was not at most, over twenty feet. The miners were a little curious to know who should have sunk a shaft for mineral at that place, as there was no evidentie of min- eral bearing rock near ard no sign of pay dirt in sight. On looking around over the ancient dump they found stone hammers and stone axes. tools that were evidently used by prehistoric race that had become extinct ages ago. The next question to be solved was what were these ancient people mining? In looking around over the old dumps they found some small pieces of blue rock. They picked up some of them and sent them away to an expert and in answer to the question. What Is the stuff?' 1t was pronounced 70 be tur- quoise. but of no value at present.
 Something like two years ago old Jim Hass took it into his head to sink the old shaft little deeper. In doing So he found pockets and small veins or streaks of turquoise, some of which he fixed up and shipped to Tiffany of New York. Soon after this old Jim Hass was fixed. He hired several men and set them to work taking out tur- qUose During all this time Jim was very reticent. Ask him any question and he would evade an answer. but when he came to Kingman the sports went for him. Old Jim was reported to have gone the boys hundred dollars better: would play with any of the party at forty or fifty dollars a corner, and up. It was soon whispered around that a second Coal Oil Johnny had come to light Old Jim had money to burn. Meanwhile the miners that had still stuck by Mineral Park and the mines that had been worked out over twenty years began to show life and hustle. Other locations were made and in fact the whole country of barren hills was at once staked for turquoise. Others began shipping and other Coal Oil Johnnieo turned up with money to burn.
 About three weeks ago a man came to the Park--a stranger. He looked mighty wise and was also very reticent Soon after a deed was recorded, made by James, Hass. for ten thousand dol lars. Soon other purchases were made and at the 'prese writing there has been nearly thirty thousand dollars paid out. Large boarding houses are being fitted up. the old abandoned buildings around the Park are being bought and repaired and wet goods and general merchandise is moving toward the Park. Tn fact about a dozen Coal oil Johnnies have sprung up and a new industry is being worked. Now 1t is reported that since the great diamond mines of South Africa have been shut down and diamonds are becoming scarce the swell inhabitants of London and Paris. in fact of all Europe, have got up a craze for turquoise jewelry and turquoise is valuable There is millions in turquoise. The mountains around Mineral Park are full of tur- quoise and the wise are delving and

A Serious Charge.

Last Wednesday evening some
trouble arose between Frank Low and
his former employer, n. R. Croft, over
an account, and resulted in Mr.. Croft
taking out an information against Mr..
Low, charging him with striking at
his head with brush scythe, he ward
ing off the blow with his arm and
hand, the heel of the scythe striking
Mr.. Croft in the arm near the elbow
and also severely cutting three of his
fingers. Mr.. Low was Immediately
arraigned before Justice Gibson, waived
examination and gave bond in the sum
of $500. The case is one of those I'M
fortunate affairs that are to be regretted.
Mr.. Low has been resident Of DEBORAH
for two and half years, and his
many friends regret the difficulty that
has arisen.

Terry's Uncle Toms Cabin Show
that appeared here Tuesday was all
right. Our people turned out over
1900 strong and all were highly pleas
ed with the manner in which they pre-
scented this old and always popular
drama. The street parade was good,
and last, but not least, the concert
was grand-in fact Terry has a good
little show and the people need not
be afraid of being humbugged when
Terry bills town.-Lone Tree Ia.)
Reporter.
Uncle Toms Cabin is rather an old
play, but it will never wear out, es-
pecially when played as the Terry
company played it at this place on last
Thursday evening. This is one of the
finest companies on the road. They
transact their business in a business-like
manner. The company is composed of
ladies and gentlemen, no fakes follow
ing them, and they give first-class
performance.-Cedar County (Neb. }

who loved her home and family ties,
and was full of the choicest virtues OF
life. May she rest in peace.
