In Former DAYS.

An interesting retrospect of White
Pine county is given in the Carson
News: During the boom in White
Pine county, the three towns, Hamil-
ton, Treasure Hill and Shermantown
contained a population of $4,000.
There were $4,000 mining locations
and Recorder Teddy cleared $44, 600
in fees in less than one year. He had
seven deputies employed, one of whom
was the late Judge Sabin of the Ne
vada United States court. The Eb-
erhardt mine produced ten millions
within 100 feet of surface, one ton of
the ore netting $685. A few peo-
pie still have faith in the hidden
wealth of Treasure Hill, claiming that
the long tunnel driven was not ex-
tended far enough to tap the main
ledge.

TO FIND KING
SOLOMON'S MINES
Backed by American Capital, Germans
Will Seek Ell Dorado Of Old.

Special to the San Francisco Chron-
icle from Berlin Backed by Ameri-
can capital, German expedition OF
engineers and miners will leave early
IN November for Portuguese East
Africa to begin the development of
what are believed to be King Solo
mons Ophir gold mines. The expedi-
ton will be headed by DR.. Carl Peters,
the well-known German colonial ex-
pert, who is confident that he will
succeed in locating the Ri Dorado OF
the ancients in the northwestern cor
ner of the Portuguese colony, close
to the border of Rhodesia.
Operations will begin simultane-
ously at three points contiguous to
the Zambesi neutrality-suspicious., lnya-
banda and UmIalia. DR.. Peters be-
lieves he has discovered unassailable
archaeological proof that this was the
region where Solomon and David OBJ
tanned the fabulous wealth they
brought to Jerusalem.
One of the re, discovered mines has
been re- christened "Von Moltke, "
after the famous Prussian general,
As evidence of the Semitic antece-
dents of the region, it is stated that
the natives are different from any
other tribes in Africa, being of dis
tinctly Hebraic type. Their dialect
contains many traces of Semitic or
igin.

COMSTOCK LODE.
Believes That Old Mines Will Be
Operated Again at a Profit.

The Sutro tunnel, which intersects
the Comstock lode at the l740-foot
level gives virtually new surface
level by which work can be prose
cuted. BY means of this tunnel the
pumping system now in use in the
Consolidated California & Virginia is
made possible, and by means of this
tunnel low grade rock can be trans
ported to the mouth of the tunnel
and reduced at a profit. An electric
railway could be easily installed for
transporting purposes. The pump
ing system which is now in operation
will make it easy to prospect the
lower levels of the lode, and there is
no reason to suppose that these
lower levels will not prove as fertile
as the upper levels.
In a number of places in these
lower levels, where a limited amount
of prospecting was done before the
water came in, there was evidence of
mineral deposits of value, and the
opinion of one of the best miners that
ever was on the Comstock lode was
that ore in paying quantities would
be found on the lower levels. The
unwatering OF these levels will open
a large area for prospecting, and
If anything of value be found, as it is
believed will be, there will be as active
times on Pine street as was ever
seen. At this time there is more
activity on the lode than there has
been for many years, and those who
have examined the mine recently
say there are more possibilities of
discoveries than there has been
at any former time in its history

BIGGEST NUGGET.
Button" Worth $32S.55 Found
at Nome.

Nome (Alaska) News: The town
was aroused to-day from the humdrum
of ordinary events by the report of
the finding by the Pioneer Mining
company of another big nugget on
Anvil creek. When the $l728 nugget
was found in 1901 we thought we
we're doing pretty well in the line of
big nuggets, but the one found this
morning, makes the balance look like
tom Gods alongside king salmon.
The nugget discovered to-day is
nearly as big as loaf of bread. 1t
is eight inches long, three inches
thick and nearly five inches wide.
The circumference measurements
made by the writer are liz inches,
III inches one way and 203 inches
another. The nugget weighs 1872. DO
ounces, and at $l8 an ounce is valued
at So. 285. 80. The nugget has more
quartz in it than the other big mug
gets found in this vicinity. 1t is a
massive piece of beautiful gold.
1t was found by Antoine Lundell,
an employee of the Pioneer Mining
company, who is operating this claim
The property is bench claim No on
the left limit of Anvil, on Discovery
claim, and belongs to Leo Lowenhera,
the Pioneer Mining company, j. P.
Parker and the boys in the bank of
the Alaska Banking and Safe Deposit
company. The Pioneer Mining com
pany has had an option on the prop
erty and is working it on lay. The
nugget was found on bedrock ten feet
below the surface, aud within four
feet of the lower line of the claim, on
Anvil, which has produced the other
big nuggets.
This part of Anvil creek has pro-
duced three big nuggets. In Sep
TENDER, 1901, two nuggets were
found on Discovery. One of them
was worth 1852 and the other $l728.
Besides these large number of mug
gets valued at from 800 to $500 have
been taken from this claim.

But Esther touched that topic very
lightly. OF course it would not do to be
too confidential with a mere stranger.
Somehow the reality of the situation
was beginning to force itself upon her.
The steamer was nearly the Michigan

One thing Esther was determined upon.
Her friends should not see. her accom-

They did not. Blu they saw something

Esther glanced downward and gave one

"And here I've been slowing my be-

pulling out her gloves, her handkerchief
and-but the other things must surely be-

There were papers and cards. Esther,
, glancing at one Of these, paused abrupt
