THE FATHER OF THE MOHAWK AND HIS DOG

| OF old-time chiyalric southern courtesy
fearless and generous No man who
knows him would ask his signature to
promise, and his opinions are as free
~ expressed as they are honest. His
friends are legion In the great desert
and are of no class or creed. The
bootblack and the millionaire mine
owner are alike the recipients of his
courteous treatment and fair dealing.
As an earnest of his confidence IN
the future OF the Goldheld district and
evidence of the value placed upon his
Judgment by others. Mr.. Kalfus has
large interests, together with many
OF the most prominent mining men IN
the country beside the original kalfus
lease, In the following properties in
Goldfeld district alone; RoseOddie
lease on the Mohawk, Gold Wedge on
the Jumbo Extension, Algie lease, Vel
vet lease Kewanas lease and Diadem
lease on the Great Bend.
OF all those who have achieved Sic
cess in the great desert country none
is better entitled to that success than
this pioneer, who has fought against
disappointment and adversely and tn
him is ascribed. more than to any 9TH
er, credit for the growth and greatness
OF this, the land of his adoption.

ana from that tint dates a campaign
Of rapid development and frenzied ef-
forts to extract the rich ore which has
had no parallel in the history of min.

Even after the discovery of the rich
ore deposits IN his lease and the re-
aiization that his faith was fully justi-
fed the Nemesis OF III luck seemed
unwilling to abandon Kalfus' trail for,
following close upon the completion OF
preparations to ship ore from the lease,
came the controversy over the question
Of apex between the Mohawk and Com
hination companies. eliminating in the
injunction proceedings which caused
the closing down of the Kalfus and
Ish-Shcets leases. pending the nego-
tlations for the purchase OF the Com
mlnation mine by the owners Of the
