NICHOLS WILL BE MILLIONAIRE
 VERY SOON
Former Bisbeeite Has Been Rewarded For Kindness To Two Prospectors Who Re- turn Him Hundredfold.

The following telling of how C. F. Nichols, formerly of Bisbee. got in on the ground floor of both mining property and townsite at the new town of Duluth in Nevada is taken from the Cox Mining Journal. a publication is sued for investors by the Cox Invest ment company, or New York and San Francisco:
 Little did c. F. Nichols of Carson City think when he invested few dol lars in the bank of human kindness that it would make him millionaire before three months were past. But it did and this is how it happened:
 About the first of last July two old-time prospectors rom Arizona struck Goldfield. They were up against it" Gin common phraseology) and in Goldfield they found a man
 wno had known them in their better days that was willing to advance them
 little money in order to put them on
 their feet again. Contrary to expec-
 tations. as soon as they had gotten the money and provisloned themselves
 and bought an outfit. they disappeared from Goldfield. The man who had loaned them the money, c. F. Nichols Iof Carson City, knew them as old timers whole-souled sort of fellows
 who were just as ready to give as to receive, but would do either under circumstances. He never expected to see them again, at least for some time and thought no more about the money
 he had advanced them.
 Nichols lived in Carson City. and one night just about three months after somebody knocked at his door He opened it, and To, and behold, who did he see there but W. H. Bills and Dave Fife the old-timers, whom he
 had put on their feet in Goldfield, and they had their story to tell.
 They told of strike of marvellous richness they had made aDout Zs
 miles from Goldyke. They said they had named the camp Duluth and had staked out a number of claims on theiI town hook. and hurried back to tel their be1efactor the good news. They gave such a glowing account of the richness of the showing that Nichols
 (who was a man of few words and more actions) did not stand upon the Iorsier of going but went at once. He
 went down town and attempted to ren,
 an automobile, but there was moth ing doing and he could not rent one
 for love or money, but by this time tthe stories of Fife and Bills got tC
 working pretty strong on Nichols SC
 he bought an automobile and in th' dead of night started out for the lCamp Duluth Fife and Bills haC
 not worked on their imagination at al for the story they had told Nichols When he arrived there in the morning and went over the ground that haC hv n fl Nichols was so enthused with the pro : position that he immediately set tC |, work to locate the whole neighbor hood. He located in all g claims
 which included the town site aht water rights, and then went back tr Carson and told the people of tho ; find. Four days after that there wa:
 town of 800 inhabitants with sever
 saloons, three stores, bank, hOte , and a restaurant in Duluth, an aut; { line running from Tonopah and twt daily stage lines from Nina, the near , est point on the Southern Pacific.
 Duluth is situated 25 miles north , west of Goldyke in the Paradise rang of mountains and the veins that hav' been uncoreved (two in alb the frs . is uncovered for distance of 19' feet, is 13 inches wide and ore run
