Hank Monk, the stage driver OF the
pioneer days in the far West, was i'm

"Roughing It." The stage coach in
which Hank Monk got Horace Greeley
to Placerville "on time," and the gold
watch that was presented to the intrepid
Jehu because of his record. breaking trip
will be among the interesting curios at
the Worlds Fair, St. Louis, 1904.
Mr.. ]. A. Yerrington, of Carson City.
Neyada's executive CON missioner TO the
Worlds Fair, was in st. Louis few
days ago and told Charles NJ. Reeves,
secretary OF the states aud territorial ex-
hibit committee, that Nevada would ex-
hibit among other interesting things,
these famous Hank Monk relics.
Hank Monk, as will be rememb mbered by
everyone who has read Mark Twain's
first famous book, "Roughing It." was
the driver who was in charge of the stage
that carried Horace Greeley into Placer
vile one evening in the latter sixties.
Mr.. Greeley was booked to deliver an
address in that mining village at
o'clock. The trip was tedious and the
great editor began to fear that he would
not reach Placerville in time to keep his
engagement He leaned out of the stage
window and asked the driver, Hank
Monk, if he could not entice little more
speed from the horses.
The imperturbable driver leaned down
and replied:
keep your seat, Horace, I'll get you
there on time"
How Hank Monk kept his word is
graphically recorded by Mr.. Clemens
Probably no trip over the mountains was
ever made at such break-neck speed
The distinguished passenger was tossed
around in the bounding stage coach like
corn in pepper and there were those
who declared that Mr.. Greeley's head
was forced through the roof.
The trip was the topic of the entire
coast country aud some admirers of the
celebrated driver bought him hand
some gold watch. Inside the case ap

Mr.. Yerrincton has secured the watch
from Mr. Benton and will have it on ex-
hihition in the Nevada building,
The other Hank Monk relic which will
attract even more attention is the same
old stage coach ia which Horace Greeley
took bis famous ride. Mr.. Yerrineton
was able TO secure this and it will be
taken to the Worlds Fair and will be
lsed as the coach of state by the Nevada
,fiicials. When distinguished guests
rsach st. Louis the old coach, with a
diver of the pioneer day in typical cos
tune, will be at Union Station and con-
We, them to the official Nevada home at

day the old coach may be seen dashing
down the steep hill from the plateau OF
states to the mining guleh, where will be
constructed typical California mining

ago when the gold dust was daily taken

Looking up at the clock the young
Swiss noted the time. and looking at Ell

The stakes were soon on the table.
The next few throws OF the deeper

pocket money for the young Swiss. TIE
crowd was breathless with suppressed
excitement. Everyone crowded as close
as possible to the table to watch the
finale of the biggest crap game they had
ever seen.
In less time than it takes to tell it, the
Swiss lost and Elliott broke even.
The time agreed upon between them
to play for high stakes was ended, aud
so was the game. The two men had
broken even, aud there was no hard
feelings. But the young man from the
other side of the ocean was not destined
to leave the gambling house in that con-
dition. Not caring to retire at that hour
in the morning, he asked permission to
shoot dice until 6 o'clock for small
stakes. 1t was granted. When the
hands of the clock pointed to o'clock,
he was just 5000 behind the game.
With hand that was as steady as the
steel bars which his factories 10 Switzer
land and Sheffield turn out, he wrote
out draft on New York bank for S.
600, and calmly counted out $4,000 in
cash and handed them over to Elliott.
So ended the greatest crap game ever
played in Tonopah, and perhaps the big
gest west Of the Mississippi river. Its
equal in any part of the world may yet
have to be played.-Salt Lake Tribune.

8 The Heaviest Crap Game on the >
. Coast Played at Tonopah. q

Robert d. Grant, the well-known min
ing man Of 1905 Brigham street, has just
returned from Tonopah, New, where he
was the silent spectator to the biggest
crap game that mining camp ever saw.
As $4,000, $4,000 and $4,000 were
staked on single throw of the little
cubed ivories, 1t is possible that it was
the biggest crap game ever played in
that State or any other west of the Mis-
sissippi river. Unquestionably it was a
bigger game than was ever played in
Utah.
What made the game so interesting to
Mr.. Grant was because he was well ac.
quainted with the man who was trying
to break the house. For various reasons
he declined to make public the mans
name, but says he is known in Salt Lake
City, where he had been recently for
several days.
The man who was daring enough to
risk fortune at every throw OF the dice
just for little amusement is native OF
Switzerland, and wealthy. He and his
brother are at the head of large steel
industry at Sheffield, England, and an
other in Switzerland. He has been in
the United States for little over two
months looking after interests of his own
in the mining line, and others of his
family and friends. 1t was that mission
which took him to Tonopah from Salt
Lake City.

STARTS AT 81 A THROW.

The scene of the great crap game was
Geo Eliott's gambling house, called the
Butler. 1t was named after the man
who discovered the camp.
The young Swiss entered the gamb-
ling house about IL o'clock and amused
himself shooting dice for 81 throw
Then he increased his bet to s., and
then made 500 change hands every
time the worries were slid out of the
hand and across the green cloth of the
crap table. About II 80 o'clock in the
morning the foreigner said to Elliott:
DO YOU want to play game for big
money!
"Yes, | have no objection" was the
nonchalant reply of the owner of the
gambling house.
"How much money have you in the
safe and what is your property worth?'
asked the Swiss, in most casual man
ner.
Il have between 5000 and $1,000 in
the safe in money" said Elliott, land my
property is worth enough to make about
$4,000.
That seemed satisfactory to the young
foreigner. After taking a look at the
proprietor of the place, he said in most
deliberate manner:
If you are lucky you will be rich
man; il you are unlueky you will be
broke"
Witnesses were then called around the
table and the rules OF the game explain
ed. The Swiss said he wanted to bet as
much as he wanted to on any throw of
the dice, at the same time showing Ell
lott securities to convince the latter
that he was sure of his money if he
proved to be the lucky man.
1t was then decided that the game was
to last two hours, from 2 until o'clock.
At the latt er hour the game was to stop,
no matter who might be loser or gamer.
Then the young Swiss purchased Sl0,-
900 worth of chips, fifty in number
worth $500 each.

LOSES $4,000 IN HALF AN HOUR.

In the first half hour the foreigner lost
$4,000. He was as cool and as collected
as though he were on the winning side,
and was used to making a fortune night
ly Sy handling the little cubes of ivory
with black eyes.
Up to that time the bets had not been
very large in size, as compared with
those that were to be made from that
time on. After $50 o'clock not a bet was
made by the Swiss for less than $500.
Up to that time Elliott had been silent
spectator to the game, enc of his men
shaking the dice with the Swiss. But
when the Swiss began to win back, and
/ forged ahead, Elliott became excited and
took the place on the opposite side of the
board to that occupied by the foreigner.
1t was after $50 o'clock when the steel
man was $4,000 to the bad. that he be-
gan TO raiss the roof off the house, as
gamblers say. A wager or two OF Sl0,-
600 each on how the dice would come up
took the breath away from the specta-
tors, who had by this time, crowded the
house almost to suffocation.
Then the Swiss made couple Of bets
of $4,000 each, and won the admiration
of the crowd for his gameness by putting
$4,000 on the green cloth along side a
similar sum showed over by the proprie-
tor, $26,000 on the table at one time.
