MARK TWAIN'S MISTAKE
How the American Humorsts Missed Becoming
the Richest Man in the World

tains, at the present price Of copper, say
Is cents a pound, gross value OF be-
tween four and FIVE billions, and the nm
ished product can be laid down in New
York (the world copper market) at a
clear profit of 66H per cent. Of the pres
ent price which would make Mark
Twain today worth nearly 5000 billions,
and by long odds the richest man in the
world. But the Nevada Douglas is only
one Of the big copper mines OF the great
Yerington district. There are many
others.
Mark Twain did not personally make
these Yerington locations, and it is pos
sible that he never actually saw them,
but there is reason to suppose that he
did personally visit them once with the
old German prospector whom he grub
staked to locate them, and who was at
first half owner with him in all of them.
This old German was remarkable char
acter and was wel1-known in all the
camps of the Comstock lode for years
previous to this prospecting adventure.
His name was Ludwig Schmidt, and he
was finely educated man "a graduate
of Heidelberg, it used to be said. But
through drink and privation and expos
ure he had become a wreck and was
regarded as far from sound in his mind.
One of his mental vagaries was that
insanity-or at least some types of in
sanity was caused by louise that got
into peoples hair ad bored into the era
MUM. tormenting men to madness.
This vernin he called the crazy louise. !"
Many of the overland pioneers of the
early SOS did actually become mentally
unbalanced for time from the awful
privations and suffering encountered in
crossing the deserts of Utah and Nevada.
Schmidt himself had been one of those
earliest overland pioneers and he broke
down under the hardship. He always
claimed the sands in certain sections of
the deserts were infected by the crazy
louise and that people sleeping on the
ground were attacked by them and
driven crazy. Whisky, he always con-
tended, was the only safeguard against
them, and his own case seemed to con-
firm his theory, for, supplied with rea-
sonable quantity of whisky, his mind
was steady and his behavior dignifed
and amiable. Deprived of it he would,
in few days become morose, suspicious
and quarrelsome.
Schmidt knew the region he desired
to prospect. He had been over the old
Walker River route" to California in
earlier days and had noted and under
stood the very plain and extensive evil

NOT FOR YERINGTON

Ely and the other Nevada camps that
are working the prizefight fad as an adj
vertising dodge are welcome to all they
gain by it. But none of that kind of
fiim-fam advertising for Yerington if
you please. The people of this camp
don't regard scandalous notoriety as
good advertising. 1t probably does at
tract certain class of people to the
camp but they are precisely the class
that Yerington doesn't want. When
the San Francisco sports wrote to ask
what the Yerington Chamber of Com
merce would put up and guarantee for a
good ring fight to advertise the camp,
The prompt Geographic answer went
back: Only thing Yerington will put

up for prizefght is Jail with ironclad
guarantee of bread and water; thirty
days"
Yerington doesn't have to resort to
scandalous notoriety to keep itself III the
public eye. Its mines talk for it. They
are the biggest in Nevada, and Yering-
ton is the only camp in the United States
outside California where the honest min
er can hit drill with one hand and pick
peaches from the bough with the other.
That fact reveals pleasant story about
the climate and the water and the alti-
tude and lot of things at Yerington
when you think it over. Yerington is
the most beautiful and fruitful spot in
all Nevada, and the Walker River,
which cuts the camp in two, is the big
best stream in the State-comes right
down fresh and cool from the everlast-

dence of copper in what is now the great
Yerinpton district. He had become
mentally excited by the unusually high
price of copper in 1865 and was anxious
to outfit for the Pizen Switch country, :
where he knew the mineral existed. To
make long story short, Mark, 'staked'
him for the venture, which means that
they were to be equal partners in all the
locations made on the trip.
The Lyon county records (Book "a
Loo. Notices, Page 1917 show that he
located the Hamfat, the Ramfat, the
Cowfat and Tallowfat claims covering
prominent knob of the west flank of the
low range that lies between the Walker
River Valley on the east and Smith
Valley on the west, and extending from
said knob N. 450 w. to the foot of the
range in Smith desert Also at the
foot of said range and close to the
border of said desert, 8 claims on the
apex of the Crazy Louise lode, where the
copper outcrops boldly between walls of
garnetized lime and a dOlomite
in the condition of malachite, az
urite and chrysocolla; the direction of
said lode being parallel with the trend
of the range and TO- E. of N. (magnetic)
and about half mile northwest of the
aforesaid knob or butte on which the
other claims are located
This enables the decentralization of the
locations beyond the shadow of doubt.
The knob is the very ground now
known as Douglas Hill, and the Crazy
Louise lode is the we'll known Ludwig
mine, the greatest shipper, up to date,
in the whole Yerington field.
The trouble with Schmidt was that he
couldn't hold to any purpose more than a
| few days. He had run out of whisky
while in the desert and he had no sooner
got back to Virginia City than he was crazy
to sell his interest and pike out for some
other copper region that he knew. Mark
supplied him with funds for a while and
then bought his interest for small sum
to prevent his selling to an undesirable
partner. How much he paid is not
known as the record Book C" Deeds,
Page 42) mentions only the usual lone
dollar and other valuable considerations. ;"
The whole bunch did not probably
cost Mark Twain above $500, and if he
had perfected his title and held them till
now he would be in receipt of an income
that would make King Leopold's Congo
graft, or the Standard Oil game look as
cheap as two-for-a-nickel, for that is the
best ground in the richest copper camp
in Nevada. But he got discouraged and
let the claims lapse-couldn't stand the
guying.

1t will probably surprise no one in the
United States more than Samuel L.
Clemens himself to learn that he once
to borrow linguistic bouquet from the
picturesque vernacular of the cattle
ranges ~. had the world by the tail
on a down hill rum and might have
been today the richest man in the world
if he had possessed the mining sense to
freeze to large group Of Nevada min
ing claims of which he was once the sole
owner in what is now known to all the
world as the great Yerington copper dis
trict, IS miles east of the California line
and about 40 miles southeast of Carson
City, the capital OF the State.
That was in 1865, the year in which
the Civil war came to a finish, and that
year copper sold as high as S. cents a
pound. The district was not then known
as Yer;ngton wasn't organized as dis
trict at all but was jokingly called by
the miners up on the great Comstock
lode, the Crazy Louise District" and
thereby hangs the tale. 1t is well-known
that Mark Twain, the greatest joker in
the world and the most merciless at guy
ing his friends on their foibles is also
the most thin skinned creature that ever
was born when joke or guying is
turned against himself He simply
can't stand it makes him want to die
or kill somebody right away quick. That's
why he lost his grip on the so-called
Crazy Louise district. He was at that
time rushing puissant quill on the high
curves of the old Territorial Enter
prise, at Virginia City, and the boys got
onto the transaction and guyed him un-
mercifully about owning an insane mine
where you could dig up insanity in
chunks.'' If he had been able to
take joke and plug along in
Nevada till the day arrived when
Fortune should raise her clarion
voice and call aloud through all echoing
hills and canyons of the world the mag
ical name Of Yerington, he might at
this writing be the richest man in the
world. That ground is, today, the most
valuable spot, acre for acre, in all Ne
vada, and it is no figure of speech to say
there's billions in it.
Mark Twain's copper mines in the
Yerington district are now covered by
the locations of the great Nevada Doug
las company, and together comprise the
greatest copper estate in the world. The
company owns 800 acres in one body and
this covers (and much more than covers)
