d. J. Lawton of the general land

Mr. Lawton has advised the

the property of the railroad and that

According TO lawyers who studied

to open up the subject through the

regarded. lawyers assert.

Has the long lost Breyfogle mine

That is the opinion of many peo-

+ with black powder, which antedated
+ the age of dynamite.
These tools were found In an
abandoned tunnel in the Royal Flush
estate and the inference is that they
were used by Breyfogle and his part
ner during the days of the war of
the Rebellion.
Following Is the history of the
Breyfogle discovery, briefly stated:
John Breyfogle was a blacksmith
who resided in Austin in the early
COS. He made periodical prospect
ing trips and in the spring of 1864,
after long absence, he brought to
Austin some wonderfully rich speci-
mems and said that there was a large
quantity just as rich where it came
from.
The find created so much excite
ment that the residents of Austin
forgot that war was raging.
Late in the summer Breyfogle
again appeared in Austin, broken
down in health and in mind He was
hatless and the appearance of the top
posed TO the torrid sun. was such as
TO cause the people of Austin to be-
lieve trat he had been sealped. This
belief was augmented when he told
dsconnectedly how he had suffered
at the hands of the elements and the
redskins.
1t required some months TO res
tore the prospector to health, al
though he remained in a semi-idiotic
condition as a result of his ex-
periences At last he recovered suf-
ficiently 10 make cross on a map of
Nevada showing the locality of his
find 1t was in the vicinity of the
Gold Mountain range, so miles south
of Goldfield. The only description of
the locality he could give was that ii
was on a little hill between two high
ranges.
Breyfogle said that he and his
partners were camped by little
spring near the scene of their find,
when, one morning. they found their
horses had strayed away. For two
days they pursued them and finally
became hopelessly lost.
While they were wandering about
on the desert suffering from hunger
and thirst, they were surprised by a
band of Shoshone Indians and took
refuge on Jackson mountain, an al
most inaccessible landmark situated
between Goldfeld and Hornsilver.
The Indians finally succeeded in
killing Breyfogle's partner. but
spared the others life. as he appear
ed to be insane and Indians hold
mentally unbalanced people in re-
verential fear The sufferings en-
dured by Breyfogle in making his
way back TO Austin must have been
indiscribable.
Several expeditions were organic
ed by Austinites and the region where
the strike was supposed TO have been
made was thoroughly explored, but
without success. Breyfogle, who ac-
companied the parties. being unable
to locate any of the landmarks he
had described Since then the Brey-
fogle has been the golden fleece" OF
many a prospecting expedition.
The Royal Flush. which answers
the Breyfogle description. is owned
by Goldfield people. \ shipment was
made recently which ran 1920 to the
ton. while picked samples gave as
high as 1929. 1000.

EVERY ONE RESPONSIBLE.

By Rev. j. q. Davis.
To each according TO his several
ability.-Matt ky. Is.
This parable of the talents contains
a message of awful warning and of
sweetest comfort God holds every
man responsible for all that has been
committed to him; he also rewards
faithfulness beyond our widest expec-
tation.
When the householder in the para
BILE was preparing for his journey he
did not distribute his property indis-
criminately among his servants, but
only after careful consideration. He
gave ito each according to his several
ability" To one man he gave five
talents, not from favoritism, but be-
cause he had the ability to use it prof
itably The man who received one
talent was not capable of great
things, but he had the ability to use
the one talent His fault was that he
refused to use what was committed
to him, fondly thinking that his mas
ter would be satisfied with its safe re-
turn without increase We may also
perceive a feeling of Jealousy and dis

quite incapable of making use Of the

The same rule holds good in the spir-
itual world. God gives gifts of grace
to His children as they have the abili-
ty and disposition to use them. Grace

greater opportunity. Large returns
were not expected from the one talent
man, but some return was expected.
He would have been commended equal

two-talent man, however small his re-
turn might seem in comparison with
theirs, had he used his talent.
And just here is the word of com
fort The five-talent men and the two
talent men are comparatively few.
The greater part of us are Of One-tal-

is that we use and make the best we
are able Of what we have. When the

and he appropriated the hotel Of the
place, the Mitchell House, for use as a

him that he should be paid for the use

Protecting Fowls ON ROosts,

Naturally the fowls catch cold more
readily at night when on the roost
than during the day, when they are
moving around freely so that protec-
ton should always be given them if
there is danger in this respect or if the
nights are very cold and it Is desired
to keep all the heat possible among the
birds. Place the roosts so that the
backs will rest against the wall Of the
poultry house, then, on the roof of the
building a few inches farther from the
wall than the lower roost, erect
frame to which q curtain can be at
tached made Of any desired material,
unbleached muslin, burlap and old
carpet being good materials, 50 that
when it is let down it will fall to the
ground directly in front Of the lower
roost. By the use of strap and
hook at either end simple plan is had
of fastening the curtain in place when
it is not in use. The dotted line in

SHORT METER SERMONS.

Tie truly strong never ignore the
weak
The man who dare not fail Is sure to
do it.
Heaven sees our gifts in the light of
our gains.
The full hand often goes with the
empty heart.
The flame of lust quenches the pure
light OF love.
FAITH for the future is the undying
hope of man.
1t Is not far from winking at sin to
working for it.
If this world is not Gods world no
other world Will be.
The best way to talk Of love to God
is by labor for man.
He has no power with men who has
no patience with children.
He possesses nothing to whom his
possessions are everything.
The best aspiration for heaven is
perspiration in making earth heavenly.
Take care of your secret life and the
surface life will take care of itself.
They who think only of themselves
waste great deal Of thought on a
small subject.
