AN EARLY DAY Renaissance
How Major Dennis Lost Over
$1,500,000 On One Stock
Deal In Nevada

The Nevada Mining News contains
the following "story" regarding Major
John II. Dennis. who at one time
was one of the proprietors of the SEN
TINEL:
In the late '70s Tuscarora had a pop
ulation of COCO and was one of the
liveliest camps on the Coast. At the
height of the boom Tuscarora mining
shares sold at prices that compared
favorably with those Of the Oomstock,
Dexter selling at one time as high as
1920 a share. or at a valuation of $780,
100000 for the property. The late
John II. Dennis, one of the most
brilliant newspaper writers in Nevada
in those days, was editor of the Tusca-
rora Times.Review in the halcyon days
Of the camp. Through judicious treat
ment of the gentlemen at the head of
the Dexter Mining Company. Dennis
became possessed of 1000 shares of
Dexter stock.
The Major was a famous story-teller
and n of the most pathetic of his
"reminiscences of the good old days. re-
counted only a few weeks before his
death, which occurred about a year
ago in Reno, related to a spectacular
poker game in which he hypothecated
his 1000 shares of Dexter stock at $25 a
share about a fortnight before the in
ception of the big stock boom that
carried the price of Dexter shares to
$1,000.

ago to join his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. @.
A. Nichols formerly Of Ruby Hill, who
had written him that they were living at
McGill, about 10 miles east of Ely, is in a
precarious condition at Ely City from
blood poisoning in both feet, infected
from the rubbing Of his shoes.
On arriving at McGill he was unable
to locate either of his parents. and
thinking possibly they had come to
Ely he walked up there. He failed to
find them either at Ely City or Ely and
as a last resort decided to try the
mines. distant nine miles from Ely.
He walked there also. and was equally
unsuccessful in finding his parents.
Walking back to Ely City he asked
for work at the Steptoe Hotel and was
given employment helping in the kitchen
The evening of the first day after going
to work both of his feet. which had been
blistered by his long walks. began to
swell, and he was o o unable to stand.
DIR. Wallace of Ely was summoned
and found the young man was in the
first stages of acute blood poisoning,
which would have undoubtedly ended
very seriously had he allowed the
disease to progress further before call
ing in a physician.
Young Cox is but 10 years old. and if
he survives his present affection it will
be due to his youth and apparently
robust constitution

Six Inch Seam OF Fine Looking Ore
Cut in Shaft

Felix Rice and Will Kuehn. who be-

Silverado. is miles southeast Of Eureka
and about four miles esst Of the Rescue
mine two or three weeks ago. were in
Eureka for supplies last week. They
state they have q very encouraging

on the Philadelphia location, having cut
a six inch stringer Of fine looking silver
lead ore. They already have several
sacks Of this ore on the dump. II is
their intention to follow the seam Of
ore cut, which they have every reason
to believe will lead to an ore body.
Silverado was a great producer in the
early days. and large bodies Of high
grade silver ore were encountered at
that period. One mine in particular,
the Fair Play, produced q considerable
quantity Of very rich silver ore, but
owing to the fall in price Of the white
metal work was discontinued on the
property.
Rice aud Kuehn returned to the mine
