temporarily on the coast and Mr.. Horn
visited the claims making a careful
personal investigation. Though not a
mining man there was much in evil
dence that appealed to him and he
took many samples which were care
! fully assayed and of which much has
been heard elsewhere than the brief
reference in this article. Mr. Carbon
has followed the life OF prospector

been for a long time devoting himself
