man lost several dollars Finally he
got good hand. He wished" he
had more money. He displayed a
check for 500 drawn on Montana
bank. 1t looked good and Frieberg
produced $50. He was given the check
and arrangements were made to re-
turn him his $50. The check was
bogus and the second man. described
as "the man from Montana" disap-

.RICH MOUNTAIN OF
GOLD DISCOVERED

SEATTLE, Aug 4.-Charles Vader.
residing at III Leary, street, Ballard,
has just returned from the Colville
Indian reservation, where he lately
discovered what promises to be one
Of the richest, If not the richest gold
mines in the western hemisphere.
Vader claims to have found a noun
tain that is filled with gold-bearing
ore Of q high quality.
This mountain is located near the
town of Meteor. which lies in the
south half of the reservation and
about 60 miles In a southerly direc-
tion from Republic. Here Mr.. Vader
has located six claims, which practi-
cally covers the entire mountain. On
two Of these claims Mr.. Vader has
tapped a ledge which he found to ex-
tend for a distance of 5000 feet and
is over 200 feet in width. In the
mountain it is estimated that there
is 30,000,000 tons Of free milling ore
in sight, which would be enough to
keep the stamps Of the famous Tread
well (Alaska) mine busy for more
than 80 years.
"The ore will run from SO to $500
per ton," said Mr.. Vader, but I es-
innate that 1t will average about SIS
per ton."
Charles Vader, who was at one
time master of sea going vessels,
and who acquired a large fortune in
commercial circles. was forced to
seek livelihood, after several enor-
nous losses, by some other means
and chose mining. In 1900 he went
and has been working in those Sec
tions ever since. In May Of this year
the rich lode was first discovered, al
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1904-08-04

though prior to that time he had a
number of claims in that district. 1t
was while constructing a road from
one of these claims to the other that
the gold was discovered. The men
whom Vader had employed to do the
work had been shoveling tons and
tons sof the precious ore to one side,
not knowing the value Of the rock.
During an inspection Of the roadway
Mr.. Vader idly picked up a specimen
Of the rock, more out of curiosity
than anything else. He was just
about to toss the rock away when his
eye was attracted by a tiny yellow
gieam reflected by the SUMS rays.
On making a closer inspection Of
the quartz he found 1t to be a speci-
men of no mean quality. Hastily
putting 1t in his pocket he picked up
another specimen. This was filled
with gold. Others which he examined
were even richer and Mr.. vader then
realised that he had at last found a
mine of enormous wealth.
He then set his men to work to
sound the rest of the mountain at
direction of the vein. For distance
Of a000 feet in one direction and 1900
in another, Mr.. Vader tapped the sides
Of the mountain, and in every in
stance the gold bearing quartz was
found. When asked as to how deep
he thought the vein would run, Mr..
Vader replied:
we have sunk a shaft down for a
depth of 100 feet and the ore grows
richer as the depth increases"
1t In the intent of Mr.. Vader to
erect a stamp mill on the property as
soon as he can secure the capital
with which to do so.
