THE MASCOT Of
TON0PAH
She Should Be Presented
With a Large Block of Oivi-
dead Paying Stock

Mascot of Tonopah" is the honorary
title which the miners, mine owners
and prospectors Of that fabously rich
district have conferred upon Mrs.
Char y s. Lemon of Los Angeles on
account of her successful predictions
concerning mining enterprises. says
the Los Angeles Express. The almost
supernatural powers possessed by Mrs.
Lemon are brought to prominence at
this time by the uncovering Of a rich
ledge at Gold Mountain at a point in
dicated by Mrs. Lemon a year ago.
when she was visiting the United To-
nopah group, owned by her husband
and a number of associates
At the tine of her visit the miners
had two lodges. which on the surface
were forty feet apart, running parallel
On one of these a shaft was being put
down, and the moment Mrs Lemon
looked into the shaft she exclaimed:
you'll find that those lodges run to-
gether, probably not more than $50 feet
below the suface.". Sure enouhg this
prediction proved correct, and the
miners marveled.
Soon after Mrs. Lemon urged the
owners of the group to run a tunnel
norhtward, remarking that within 200
feet they would srtike a richer and
wider ledge, land you might as well
enjoy this success now as to wait for
years, for sooner or later you will dis
cover it." she insisted as an argument.
This idea appeared too visionary for
the miners to tackle. even in the face
of her former accurate prophecy, and
so only recently the suggestion was
followed The miners had no especial
object to hurry their shaft to a greater
depth, and so decided to run a tunnel
north. Their surprise can be imagined
when probably not 200 feet away they
! encountered q rich ledge. anu already
have cross-cut sixty feet without find
ing the hanging wall. The ledee all
the way shows values In the pan from
a few dollars to $50 and s35 In free
gold
Examination of the surface directly
over the big ledge resulted In SEN
sationai discoveries. The rock is a
mixture of quartz. rholite and por-
phyry. fifty-five feet across and as
says from few dollars into the hum
dreds. At this time it is impossible
to state whether the mass is a true
issure or merely an isolated cash vein.
but Mrs. Lemons prediction has SO
far proved true. and the miners are
willing to rely upon her word that
they have a permanent ledge.
In discussing her powers Of foresight
this beautiful Angeleno declares that
| in her dreams lies her success. Two
years ago. when she was running
| real estate office in Los Angeles and
| financial failure had brought the FAM
| into hard times, she dreamed three
nights i'm succession of Tonopah, and
insisted that her husband must leave

neer) and civil engineering and seek
wealth in the Tonooah district. with
the result that fortune smiled on him
from the first. All through her life
she has been the subject of these
strange oresentments. and the stories
her friends tell are even more mar
velous than the story of the rich
ledge.

GUN CLUB TO
HOLD BIG SHOOT

A Clay bird shoot of the Honolulu
Gun Club will take place at the club
grounds in Manoa valley on Washing
/ toms Birthday. Feb. %.
A class shoot with good prizes in
which the members will be classed
according to their previous perform
ances will be the principal event of the
day.
All members can compete in the first
class for the prizes in that class. Bird
but neither 1st nor End class members
can compete in the third class, so it
gives an incentive to the poorer shots
to practice and win prizes.
There will also be pool shooting.
Although the club has been in ex-
istence but six months it is now in
excellent financial standing, is free
from debt, and it's tournaments have
each been successful in every way
The club grounds are in Manoa valley
and can be reached by the Rapid Tran
sit.
The electric traps used on the shoot
ing grounds have proven a complete
success. AT the closing of the open
game season on the last day of Feb
ruary clay bird shooting promises to
become one of the leading sports of
the islands. The club has been prom
ised some fine challenge cups which
will no doubt create considerable in
terest in the matches. r. B. Booth,
the ever popular and enthusiastic
sportsman, is chairman of the COM
mittee on prizes, and the club members
can rest assured that he will secure
some that will please all. Refresh
ments will be served in the clubhouse
and jolly time is assured. The COM
mittee: IF you are not a member and
shoot a shot gun bring it along and we
will endeavor to find sport for ALL

anchor was weighed no vessels showed
a disposition to chase the japanese or
to fire a single shot.
Finally the Japanese left. This was
at 500 o'clock. They were pursued by
the Russian fleet, which proceeded to-
ward Dalny.
At 9:15 o'clock the Russians returned
to their anchorage, no firing aDpar-
en49y having occurred. Then again
came silence, everything having passed
off with less noise than an ordinary
naval review.
SECOND BATTLE BEGINS.
The Russians had now outside The
harbor five effective battleships, five
effective cruisers, one volunteer cruiser,
one gun vessel, one training ship and
seventeen torpedo-boats and destroy
ers. The latter We're grouped near the
entrance of the harbor.
1t was almost IL o'clock this morning
when a section of japanese ships, in
Guiding five battleships, appeared a
long the horizon. They We're in fine
order
At 11:15. say, came a flash from a
Japanese vessel. This landed 12-inch
shell near the torpedo-boats and dis
abled a battleship. The aim was
splendid.

would sink us for disobeying orders or
send a torpedo-boat in pursuit. The
captain had repeatedly signaled for
permission to proceed, but his signals
were not answered.
The bonbardment of the forts lasted
till about u, the Japanese shooting
with good aim. Two shells burst on
the summit of one fort and numbers
on the face of cliffs and along the
beach. All of them were heavy shells.
Owing to the length of range all
shells burst on contact with water or
land. Some threw out yellow smoke,
but generally it was a dense black
smoke, temporarily conceaIing the
ships. Tire rate of fire on both sides
was slow and many Russian shells fell
short. The Sevastopol was hit by a
heavy shell near the base of her for
ward funnel. Another three-funneled
battleship was struck amidship on ner
armor plating. A third, also a battle
ship, was struck abaft her arrnored
section, hear the stern.
We could not ascertain the exact
damage done. The fleets were about
three miles apart. Apparently no ship
on either side was disabled.
The Russian cruiser Novik fought
pIuckily, keeping by far the closest 20

engineer Scotch.
Two large and two small British
steamers engaged in coasting trade. al
so an American -four ship, the Pleiades,
are blocked inside Port Arthur harbor
by the position of the disabled battle
ships.
The Russians are endeavoring, by
pumps and collision mats, to stop the
holes in the battleships in order to be
able 20 take them inside the harbor
at high water.
When fifteen miles south of Port
Arthur heard heavy firing toward the
north. This was at 1:30 o'clock in the
afternoon. 1t did not continue long.
I saw no signs of the japanese fleet
on my way to Chefoo.
