Under the caption of Dame Fortune
Plays F~avorites, " the Manhattan News
has the following:
The great strike at Round Mountain
furnishes a story teeming with interest
and shows how Dame Fortune seems to
play favorites at the game Of mining.
In the year 1903, Frank Gender, the To-
Gator of the Indian Camp claim in this
district, located a claim on Round Noun
tain and did tide location work on the
same. He failed, however, to do the
assessment work the following year
and the property reverted to the gov
eminent. 1t remained open until the
second day of March, this year when it
was located by c. r. Scott and his as
sociates. While inspecting the location
hole which had been dug by Gender, l..
R. Scott and "Slim" Morgan, the part
ners of C. R. Scott, discovered some
free gold which led to the great Round
Mountain strike.
The gentlemen did some work in the
old location hole and obtained phenom-
email results. Assays were made of the
ore that ran into the hundreds of thou
sands. Further inquiry showed that
SIS, 900 worth of ore had been thrown or
the dump by Gender in doing his loca.
ton work. Thus is it seen where the
best of miners are sometimes fooled
when prospecting for the precious met
ais.
Four samples, specimens, were
brought in from the strike this week by
Scott and Morgan and the lowest re
turned 1912, 900 in gold and over S., O0o
in silver. The formation of the country
at Round Mountain is rhyolite aud tn,
gold occurs in a white tale. The ledg,
has been opened up for a distance O
four or five hundred feet and the show
ing is said to be the most remarkable il
this southern country.
Round Mountain stands out alone il
tue Smoky Valley and is considered tt
be a mountain of quartz, carrying golt
in almost unbelievable values.

viii Live On Easy Street.

A dispatch from Caliente says: Geo.
R. Marshall, Familiarity known through
out the state as ''Doc" Marshall, one
of the Oldest prospectors in the west,
passed through Caliente today east
bound and among the many passengers
delayed here by the recent washout,
none have had a more varied career in
the woolly west than the aged but still
active doc" He was a t%rail-blazer
in abe early sos. He has spent most OF
his life in the sage brush state, save a
meteoric fourteen months in Europe,
where $50, 900, the result of a fortunate
sale of the group Of Mines bearing his
name in northern Arizona, but long
since ''has beens," made him in the
'70s a silver king and gave the old
country high-fyers a chance to see how
fast a real American could get rid OF
cash.
"Doc" has been broke and heeled a
score of times and just now is en- route
to Denver, the home of his son, with a
sack of samples taken from the Funer-
al range, where he has four claims
which he says will enable him to dror
his pick and drill bid farewell to his
burros and live on the sunny side OF
Easy street for the remainder Of his
days. The ore is white quartz, brittle
and honeycombed and shows fine free
gold in immense quantities, some of il
going up to $12, 600 per ton.

..scottr,, Is a Rad Actor.

Walter Scott, known from n end OF
the United States to tho other as Scot
ty of Death Valley" vas arrested last
night on his arrival at the st. Francis
hotel and taken to the Hall of Justice,
where his name was entered on the de-
tention book. The arrest wal made on
the telegraphic request of the sheriff Of
San Bernardino county, who asked that
Scatty be held on a charge Of assault
with a deadly weapon, and that a war
rant by mail would follow the telegram,
says S. F. Chronicle.
Scott and his wife arrived OF the
train from Portland, and, entering a
cab, were driven at once to the hotel.
Scott expected that an officer would be
waiting for him, so told his wife to
wait in the cab while went in and reg
istered. Detective Harry Reynolds was
waiting on the steps at the entrance.
Scotty acknowledged his identity at
once and was told that the chief of po-
lice wanted to see him. He asked per
mission to register, and, this being
granted, he engaged rooms for himself
and wife, and, returning to the cab
said:
"Now, my dear, go up to your room,
and if you get tired of waiting for me,
go down to dinner yourself. The Chief
of Police wants to see me, and ! may be
detained longer than | expect" Mrs.
Scott obeyed without a question, anc
the detective took her place in the cal
and drove with Scott to the Hall Of
Justice. There was no Chief in waiting
and Scotty was taken upstairs at once
and registered again, but this time OF

Station.

The Carson News says, and very
properly, that if the people of Virginia
City wish the celebration of the Golden
Jubilee of the Comstock to be a state
affair, instead of a purely local one, it
would be advisable for the papers there
to cease minimizing the southern dis
tricts. They are lusty giants, while
the Comstock is full of years. The
youth of the south would and desires to
become an ally of the Comstock, but
the repeated publications of items in
tended to belittle a section of country
that will produce hundreds of millions
of dollars, is not a good way to secure
friendship. The Chronicle of Virginia
City is one of the leading offenders.

"Me and Jim Found Tonopah."


William Mcclure Gottwaldt, the able
editor of the Progressive West, has
suggested that a monument be raised
in honor of James L. Butler, the dis
coverer of this great camp of Tonopah;
he concludes the suggestion with a
witty ~allusion to the probable view that
Buffers burro might take Of the prop
o%sition, as follows;
"I'm the burro. Don't forget me
When you hew Jim out of stone.
| will tell you, if you'll let me,
How this Midas ledge got known;
To slight me cuts my feelings raw,
For me and Jim found Tonopah.
Dates and data we'll dispense with
And all geologic rot,
But the narrative commences with
Me, NE, standing on the spot,
Asking up the ledge saw
Where ME- and Jim found Tonopah.
Manganese or brittle silver?

But | noticed on that hill, sir,
Clumps of bunch grass growing wher'
The worldwill countless treasuredraw
Thus ME and Jim found Tonopah.

Won't regret it in the end,
So gratefully I'll Haw! he! haw!'

Redskins Don't Like the Idea.

A letter received from Hawthorne
says the Indians on the Walker Lake
reservation are not taking kindly to the
proposed throwing open of the reserva-
ton, and many are assuming an ugly
mood and trouble may result. The
younger members of the tribe who
attend the Indian schools realize the
move means the breaking up of the
homes of their parents and the older
members of the tribe, and they are
urging their tribesmen to decline the
offer of the government, and if neces-
sary resist.

A PrOhibitiOnist.

No holder or more vigorous cap
tain in the cause of prohibition than
Sam Jones ever lived. Whenever a
fight for the abolition of saloons in
Atlanta. Macon, Savannah or other
Georgia cities has been contemplated
he was almost invariably summoned
to open the campaign with a series
of his plain, forceful sermons.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Jones closed
a remarkable meeting at his taber-
nacle in Gainesville, and left for
Oklahoma City, where he was eng
aged to conduct a two weeks revival.
He was accompanied by his wife, his
two daughters, Mrs. Annie Pyron and
Miss Julia Baxter Jones, of Carriers
vile. and his secretary, Tom Dun
ham In Oklahoma City the evangel-
lists success was remindful of his
younger days. People crowded to
hear him and when the meetings
closed Sunday their effect was re-
gistered upon the entire community.
Sunday evening. October 18th, Mr..
Jones and those accompanying him
took a sleeper for Gainesville. Tues
day was to be his birthday and the
family at home had planned a re-
union and a dinner in its celebration
The relatives from the surrounding
country and the grandchildren from
over the state were to be present
The birthday will become a funeral
service.

awoke near Little Rock, Ark. A

husband was dead

First Lawyer Then Lost His Health and Took Drink
Conversion

terest- When % years old he was
admitted to the bar of Gainesville
Everyone predicted success for him
as a DICTATOR and a persuader of men
he had few equals in the county. A
year or two of application to Office
work, however, broke his health.
Nervous dyspepsia developed and he
was in almost constant suffering.
Finding no relief in the various medi-
cines recommended, he began drink
ing whiskey.
Each month intensified his COM
plant and recourse to the stimulant
became more and more frequent. For
while his future was despaired of.
He was unable to continue his prac-
tice. He became a day Iaborer. There
are still men in Gainesville who
remember having seen him driving
a public dray over the streets. Dur
ing this period of life there was
scarcely a type of humanity whom
he did not touch and all the while,
uncOnSciOusly. but none the less sure
ly, he was studying the types, learn
ing their weaknesses and their
strength.

LITTLE EDNA SHEPHERD WAS
DROWNED IN A
LAKE
WAS FEEDING THE DUCKS
Body Found Floating In by Arthur
Leigh-Heart Broken Mother
Tells Of Accident
Jacksonville Metronolis.l

One of the most distressing acct
dents to occur in the city for some
time was that of the drowning Of
little Edna Shepherd, the two years
and three months-old daughter of
Mrs. Elizabeth Shepherd, of 7Ss
Charles street, Riverside this morn
ing at Riverside park.
The sad accident was discovered
by Arthur Leigh, who saw the body
of the little girl floating in the lake
at the south end of Riverside park,
near the small pier. from which it
is presumed the little one fell to her
death.
The lifeless form was taken from
the water as quickly as possible, and
carried into the park lodge, where
Superintendent Hogan resides. There
everything was done TO revive the
little one. DR.. Diggett was summon
ed and did everything known to
medical skill to resnscitate the child,
but all was futile.
The news of drowning spread rap
idly in the neighborhOod and the
ladies living near the park repaired
to the scene and did everything they
could to aid in the work of reviving
the child and in comforting the
mother, whose grief was pitiable to
see.
Mrs. Shepherd was seen by a
Metropolis reporter and said that lit
tie Edna had strayed away from
home and she thought had tried to
follow her little sisters to school. In
passing the lake she was attracted
by the ducks swimming in the water,
and in attempting to feed them she
lost her balance and fell overheard.
The accident has cast a gloom over
all Riverside, where the little girl
was known and believed, and the
sympathy of the entire community is
extended to the widowed mother in
the great loss of her little loved one.

Sampel Porter Jones, whom the
whole world knew as Sam" Jones,
the great evangelist, was born Oct
ober 16, 1S47, at Oak Bowery,
Chambers county, Alabama. His
end came only one day before his
f1fty-ninth birthday, to a family eele-
bration of which he was fastening
at the moment of his leath.
Mr.. Jones parents were John
Joseph Jones and Nancy Porter
Jones. In 1858 his father, having
married a second time, came to
Gainesville, Ga, where the son, des-
tined to fame, spent the greater part
of his boyhOod and young manhood.
While still on the youngster side of
his teens Sam Jones gave evidence of
the qualities which later in life made
him a power among men.
Though not particularly diligent
student he was a quick one and from
the outset ruling spirit among boys
of the town. The very virtues of his
make up proved for time what some
regarded as his weaknesses, but
but which subsequently were seen to
have been but the shadows of his
strength. Enthusiasm, boundless
energy, and a love of life and inter
est in all its phases. these were his
gifts from nature. For a while they
led him into over-indulgence of i'm
pulse. Church people about the COM
munity spoke of him as a smart"
boy, but rather wild. Others BODIED
that no good could come to him. But
all the while he was living life,
watching men and events with
sharp eye and gathering that expert
ence which in maturer years turned
nto a quick sympathy and a thorough
understanding of his fellow men.
