Answers TO Queries

DOODLE DEE-G. c. NJ, PaIo Alto,
Cal What is the origin and meaning OF
doodle dee?"
The books of reference are silent as
to the origin. Doodle is to dandle,
and dee is a maid, hence, to dandle a
maid. Some people use the word with
out knowing its meaning, but because
it has a euphonious sound. That is why
the expression he's a doodle dee In
tending to convey the idea that the
party spoken OF is nothing, is used.

ing tunnel in one of his properties
near the big southern mining camp
yesterday. At distance of $50 feet
from the mouth he stumbled over
what afterwards proved to be huge
brown bear. The animal had been
driven into the mine to escape the
cold weather. Booth Immediately re.
allied his danger and grappled with
the bear, clubbing the beast over the
head with boulder of ore. In this
way the bear was rendered uncon-
scious and finally killed. Booth had
his side and one of his hands pain
fully, but not seriously, injured in the
encounter.
About ten days ago his son, Ken
meth Booth, had similar encounter
with two bears in the Mizpah tunnel,
but the bears escaped Old trappers

from their mountain fastness, and

I" DOG" DELAVAN
WITH The DEAD

j. Mott Delavan, an old-time pros
pector, miner and millman, died in
the hospital Thursday night, of pneu-
monia, says Rawhide exchange. His
age was about rs years.
DOC" Delavan, as he was com
monty called, had been resident of
Nevada for over forty years and was
known by every old-timer on the des-
ert. He had followed prospector's
life mostly, though he had done con-
siderable about mills. He had made
several fortunes but, like others, had
lost them. His was a generous,
whole-souled nature and everybody
was his friend. Harry Crowhurst
had kept an eye on him for several
years in Goldfield and Rawhide and
he usually made his home with him.
Mr.. CrOwhurst had him taken to the
hospital as soon as he was taken i'll.
It was through the action of Mr..
Crowhurst and his associate in Gold
field, Colonel ]. E. Slinkey, that re-
mittance of SIS week was obtained
to help the old man out in his de-
Ginning years. Word has been re-
ceived from Colonel Slinkey that
more money was at hand and would
be sent from Goldfield. The money,
it is said, came through charitable
organization in New York City, and
was obtained through affidavits sent
as to the dead mans antecedents.
J. Mott Delavan is said to be
nephew of Mrs. Russell Sage, wife of
the late New York multi-millionaire
and 1t is supposed that she saw that
the relief was sent through the char
table society.

And What do You
Think About This?


Back east, We know, the natives
in many quarters still fondle the idea
that bear and mountain lion roam the
streets of western cities during the
night, and that every one sleeps with
his firearms buckled to his side and
that the poor brother Lo still Yields
the festive scalping knife as of yore.
Many of them will believe almost any
story about the west. But we thought
that California had little better idea
as to the real peacefulness of the
west. And for this reason, we assert
that some one on the editorial staff
of the San Francisco Chronicle is
possessed Of the most colossal guilt
bility which has so far come to rec
ord; also, that the brand of HOY
which is sold in Reno is most terrible
in effects. Read the following, and
agree with us:

RICH PLACERS
DEVELOPED IN
MIDAS DISTRICN

Near the town of Midas and about
six miles from Berlin, a company of
Tonopah and Goldfield men have ac-
Quired twenty-one claims of placer
ground The company is incorpor-
ated under. the name of the Nevada
Placer Mines company and interested
in it are E. J. Collins and T. d.
Murphy of Goldfield and Walter d.
Cole and several other local parties.
Mr.. Murphy Of Goldfeld at one time
was owner of the Combination Frac-
ton in that city. J. T. Coker is gem
eral manager of the company.
The property is estimated 10 be one
of the largest placer deposits in the
state of Nevada and average samples
taken from the entire group give rel
turns of about 81 cubic yard. The
gold will go about 1890 an ounce.
The company has started work on
the property and intend to expend
about $4,000 in improvements be-
fore the work is actually started.
There is an abundance of water,
which has been developed at a dis
lance of two miles from the property
and the company has already sent out
pipe to convey the water. About
eighteen men are now employed in
the work of erecting the machinery,
building sluice boxes and completine
the pipe line
The bed rock is at an average
depth of six feet and the company
has estimated that it will be able to
work over a million cubic feet of
earth.
