SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
RENO. April ga discovery just

hide parallels closely that of the first
days. of the Comstock in a curiously
coincidental manner James Giles. a
prospector who located piece OF
ground close to the Regent Rector, took
paintings from all over the groupings
on his property with Indifferent results
in gold. One thing that bothered him
was the presence of a heavy black SUBJ
stance in each panning which, in all
his experience of mining he had never
seen the like of before. Knowing that
lit contained no gold he kept throwing
lit away.
A thorough examination of his prop
erty finally convinced him that, while
1t might be all right as a low grade
milling proposition, 1t was anything but
a desirable holding for a poor pros
pector He then tried to get rid of 1t
and ultimately disposed of two claims
and fraction to an eastern firm that
simply wanted the ground for f1otation
purposes. He got onjys a. few hundred
dollars for it.,S Merely. :as "a matter of
form their representative knocked a
few samples out of the cuts in the
groupings made by the previous owner,
but instead of panning had the rock
assayed. To the surprise of every one
the returns, although small In gold, ran
UP into the thousands In silver. The
property thus proves to be one of the
most valuable in Rawhide.
Giles only consolation is that In
addition to his. few hundreds of dollars
he got 10000 shares of Stock In a
s1.000,000 share ,tcapftalizatfon of the
newly formed company. The strike Of
silver has lent added interest to Raw
hide in this section. as II is looked
upon as another added to the indica-
tions of permanency OF the new camp

His managers claim 500 delegates, but

dore Cornelius Vanderbilt is that he
did his really important work and
heaped up his enormous fortune after
he was 20 years old He was born
in I794, ana almost all his energies,
until the outbreak Of the civil war,
had been absorbed in the manage
ment Of his numerous steamboat and
steamship lines. Another remark
thing about the first Vanderbilt was
his personal vanity, which led him
to have his picture printed or en-
graved on all checks, stocks and
onds that were fnssued in his name.

The weather permitting, the unveiling
o a monument to the memory OF those
p atriots who defended ''The Bridge at
Gu inton i'll March OF IT'S will take place,
on Sat. Oct. IL, at 2 p. M.
/ Although Col. h. u. johnson has given
us the story of the skirmish at Quinton
in his invaluable little history OF Salem
County yet such few copies are in circu-
lation, and, therefore, read by so few of
he younger generations of to day, it was
tdecided not only appropriate but i'm
peration that the patriotic organiza-
tion, Daughters OF the American
Revolution, should erect a substantial
and lasting monume to remind us and
coming generations that the liberties
which we now enjoy were bought with
risk OF property and life; not only in
the great decision battles that are fuIjy
set forth in all our school histories. but
also by our county militia, or minute
| men, who held themselves ready at a
moments notice, to defend, their rights
| against the Royal authority of an unjust
King.
OF such a character was the skirmish
| of Quinton, where our little band of mill
| tia took a stand on the 18th OF March
1878, with a determination that those
| British plilagers should not cross the
Alloway Greek; that they had gone far
enough that they should not carry proyis-
ions to Howe's gay army in Philadel-
phia, when Washington's was on the
verge of starvation at Valley Forge.
Had the colonlsts been defeated. their
very effort is worthy of remembrance but
as they were successful in retaining this
stand against those finely disciplined
soldiers OF Great Britain it is all the more
a greatful task Of the Oak Tree Chapter,
ID. A. X. to erect the humble stone. bear.
ing all inscription to our valiant helpers,
in the making OF our free United States.
A detailed account of the Skirmish al
Quinton, is printed in booklet form, and
will be on sale at the unveiling; also
post cards OF scenes connected with its
history.
1t is hoped that residents of the Coun.
ty generally will embrace this emporium,
ity OF displaying a spirit of patriotism b,
honoring the occasion of the unyejlins
by their presence. COMMITTEE
