Bayboro. 1t has not built to Bayboro
however without meeting Instructions
all along in various and divers ways.
Col. Jas. A. Bryan who has been
financing the road building has been
handicapped from the start, he has
been hindered and delayed by those
even claiming to be friends, and the
delays have caused him great incon-
venience and losses; without eXagger-
ating we believe the road from New
Bern to Bayboro has cost at least
twenty-five thousand dollars more than
it should have cost, and while he
could see this and knew it at the time,
he was powerlesS to prevent it.

rious miners secret Advices from
Goldneld, Nevada, say the story of the
finding was brought there by one
w. L. Mills, who happened upon the
mind by thu mere chance. According
to Mills it is a rock ribber chasm sur
rounded on every side save one by
precipitous walls at the extreme south
ern end of the Funeral Mountains,
which skirt Death Valley. Suffering
from thirst and nearly exhausted he
wandered to the spot.
Scotty's home, he says, is a cave in
the rocks. Near by is a spring of wa
ter Here Scott keeps on hand food
and champagne. His treasure vault
lies short distance further up the
chasmScotty did everything possible
to obliterate the trail TO his mine. In
one place he travelled over a half mile
in covering only a few yards. piling
large boulders in the trail after him
Mills reached Goldfeld this morn
