BACK FROM FOOL FEAT.
Man Who Crossed Ocean in Seven
teen-Foot Dory Home Aoain.

Capt Ludwig Eisenbaum, the lone
navigator who crossed the Atlantic
from Boston in seventeen-foot dOry,
has come back to New York as a
member Of the crew of the Red Star
line steamship kroonland, from Ant
werp. He brought his dory with him,
and it is said that both will be seen
later at the St. Louis exposition. The
captains trip was almost a constant
fight with death. Twice he was sight
ed in mid-Atlantic by passing steam
ships, and the skipper of one vessel
spent considerable time urging him
to abandon his perilous undertaking.
He had several narrow escapes from
drowning and once he lost nearly all
of his provisions.

NEW BoNANzAs Will BE

The day is past and gone when
mining men will cling to tie be-
ftef atffat the exhaustion of any
inine limits The future production
of the camp or of the district in
which. such mine is located, and
the opinion is becoming more and
fiiote universal that richer and
better mines will eventually be
found in close proximity to old
time producers than were these
bonanzas in theft iiiost palmy days,
saysaths SAT- Lake Mining Re-
New. And, not only has this idea
been gaining in strength year by
year, but the belief in the frequent
discovery of new and rich mining
fields is beginning TO have a bene-
hciat.effect upon the mining in
tdustry Of the West.
The fact that the West can make
Claim to the possession of many
f1ch and productive camps does
hot in the least weaken the claim
advanced by experienced mining
men that as many rtiore bonanza
districts will yet be found. The
West abounds in localities, rich in
their deposits of the precious met
AIS, that have never, as yet, been
visited by the prospectot or miner,
and the frequent discovery of rich
tnsines in virgin fields attests the
truthfulness Of the old assertion
that ''gold is where you find it
Nevada, with her wonderfully new
and rich mining camps, such
as Tonopah and Goldheld, is an
example of what we may expect
70 witiIess in many sections of the
West, in the near future, and
many new camps of this character
will yet be discovered in localities

worthless and barren; and, strange
