DEATH OF
L. CHALMERS.
The Man Who Spent Millions and
Left Monuments Of Folly.

Word has been received from Eng
land that Lewis Chalmers, the man
who sank millions of English coin in
the mines at Silver Mountain, has
died. His work still stands at the de-
serted camp as monument of mans
folly and not genius. 1t is said that
Chalmers was gentleman but he
was no miner.
When Chalmers took hold of the
Silver Mountain property for his Eng
lish hackers it looked like one of the
big things of the west. He had ore on
the surface but not being content with
this, he started one of the most ex-
pensive tunnels ever attempted in the
west.
The tunnel was to be little over
mile long, and before the funds
gave out he had it within a few hum
dred feet of where he hoped to tap the
ledge The tunnel was 9x11 in the
clear and two mule trains could pass
the elegantly timbered hole in the
ground
Handsome homes were built, foun-
dry constructed, saw mills were put
to work and city was started. Dur
ing the time that the tunnel was being
driven he had two mills erected to
reduce the ore when they came upon
it. The mills never turned a wheel
and few years ago Alex McCone
moved them out of the section. The
entire plant of Chalmers was one of
excessive extravanganee. Had he con-
fined himself to driving an ordinary
tunnel he would have landed at the
objective point and the existence of
the ledge would have been told, as it
was between the double compartment
tunnel and the mills that never turned
a wheel. He broke his hackers and
when the crash came, Chalmers left
the country, never to return.
When he departed he did not do
the one act that would have endeared
him to the people. He left his wife in
the deserted village. She alone had
to face the disappointed miners and
people. She has struggled in poverty
ever since he left, and year after year
she has eked out an existance to the
surprise of the people of Alpine coun-
ty. The disappointments that were
showered upon her and the poverty
have partially unsettled her mind, and
Mrs. Chalmers, the wife of the great
promoter, is about all that is left in
Siver Mountain to tell the story of the
venture that failed
To this day the place has a fascina-
ton. The substantial work of Chal-
mers is still in evidence.
The remains of Burley drills, old
cars, blowers and the foundry are
lying scattered about the diggings.
Thousands of dollars worth of materi-
al was packed off by the visiting pros
pectors, and Silver Mountain was a
cleaning station for all who wanted
to start prospect in the district
AS long as the camp retains its
name and as long as the brick foun-
dations remain there will be a memory
of the man who squandered money
like water, and forgot the woman
Whom he called his wife.-Appeal.

An exchange says: IA couple OF
weeks ago an old man came into this
Office and stopped his paper We
have frequently met him on the streets
since that time, and it is amusing to
us to see the look of surprise on the old
fellows face that we are still in ex-
istance, regardless of the fact that he
had stopped his paper Some day,
and it won't be long, either, the poor
old fellow will turn up his toes.
Friends and neighbors will carry his
lifeless clay out to the cemetery and
lay him to rest among the flowers. An
obituary will appear in these columns,
telling what kind father and good
citizen he was, which lie the record
ing angel will kindly overlook for
charity's sake, and in a short time
thereafter he will be forgotten. As
he lies out there in the cold grave
yard, wrapped in the silent slumbers
Of death, he will never know that the
last kind words spoken of him were
those of the editor of the paper that
in life he stopped"

As result of initiating ceremonies
conducted by secret fraternity of the
Reno High School last Monday night,
it is stated that Ernest Damon, a
bright young student, is marked for
life with two brands of the order in
to the mysteries of which he was con-
Quoted. Nitrate of silver was used in
branding him. The authorities
should investigate this outrage and
give the perpetrators dose OF
