| mining men nave recently bought large
blocks of promotion stock at a good
round figure. All who go to the camp
and inspect It, are Immediately seized
with the fever and are determined to
become interested at any price within
reason.
Some Of Goldneld's most prominent
mining men were far-sighted and for
tunate enough to get nto the camp
early and buy up some Of the choice
property. One Of the most fortunate of
these was e F. Won Polenx. who was
one Of the first to visit the camp. saw
its richness n possibilities. and after
much persuasion. succeeded in buying
confrolling interest in the now famous
Kearns lease, upon which ground the
original big strike Of the camp was
made, and which started the stampede
to the camp. This lease, with additional
property, was incorporated under the
name Of the Original Rawhide Mining
ompany. ard was the first property in
the camp to Install a gasoline hoist and
make regular shipments Of ore. the
first two cars Of which reached Goldield
last week. the ore running $117.5o to the
ton.
r. v. Ellis Of Goldheld was another
Of the fortunate "early ones" and
secured two valuable claims in the
heart Of the rich section. adjoining the
Hooligan claims. upon which a strike
was made last Monday. running $4,000
to the ton. OF course there will be a
small amount of this grade ore. but 1t
is safe to predict that they will ave a
good ledge Of high grade. Mr.. Won
Polenz became interested with Mr. Ellis
In his property and they incorporated
II under the name Of the Rawhide Burrc
Mining company.

GIRL GONE; PARENTS
BLAME A HYPN0TIST

TRENTON, N. j.. Sept. 11.-Hypnotic
influence, drawn from knowledge of
Hindoo philosophy and occult beliefs.
is charged by Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest
Ristow as having been used by Hans
Nosek to induce their daughter, Miss
Nellie Ristow, to leave home for the
purpose of learning more of the strange
beliefs of Nosek
George Ristow, brother of the girl,
said today that his sister left home
July 10 for visit with her uncle, near
Hazleton, Pa, and when they found
she had not reached there they decided
that the girl went away with Nosck,
with whom she was studying occult
sciences.
Miss Ristow's relatives say that they
have been seeking for a long time 20
have the girl sever her relations with
Nosek He came to Trenton as a
skilled pottery decorator For a long
time, 1t is said, she has been Indifferent
to anything. which did not concern
Nosek.
Members Of her family declare that
Nosek had Miss Ristow so completely
in his power that he taught her to
firmly believe that even though her
parents did object to their marriage he
could bring her into communication
with her dead grandmother, whom she
loved dearly. He also taught her to
ignore physicians and medicines
The girl gave up most her earnings
to Nosek and he would go into a
trance for her whenever she wanted to
know things Of the future.

SPLEEN CUT OUT OF
WOMAN 70 YEARS OLD
Exceedingly Rare Operation, Under
taken as Last Resort, Is
Expected to Save Her
Life

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 11.-Surgi-
cal and medical circles of this city are
keenly interested in an exceedingly
rare operation performed by DIR. Theo-
dore l.. Chase of the Hahnemann hos
pital staff for the complete removal of
the spleen from q woman 76 years old.
The patient. whose name is withheld,
underwent this critical operation at
Galen hall, Atlantic City.
Although four out of every ten pa
tents operated on for the removal of
the spleen die, the woman shows every
indication of recovering. After the OPP
GRAFTON she was perfectly rational, con-
versing with DR.. Chase and other at
tending surgeons, and from the latest
reports she is regaining1 strength.
Necessity of the complete removal
of the spleen was due to it's enlarge
ment 1t weighed eight and a half
pounds. and an operation was the only
chance to save the woman's life. In
the course of the operation she lost
less than an ounce and a half of blood.
The wound willstake some time to heal,
and she VIII probably be confined to
her bed for several weeks
An operation for removal Of the
spleen is one of the rarest of surgi-
cal feats, and when it IL resorted to re-
quires the most delicate and skillful
treatment.
