He RE TURNS HOME
AFTER FIF TY
YEARS
LATE IN LIFE MAKES FORTUNE
IN MINES IN NEVADA.
Leaves For Philadelphia to Share His
Millions With Sister Who Sent
Him West.

San BernaTdino, Cal. March 4.-Har-
ry Parsons. desert miner 70 years
of age. left San Bernardlno yester-
day for Philadelphia to visit relatives
whom he has not seen for fifty years.
He goes back with fortune estimat-
ed at $1.O00,000, all amassed within
the last four years among the mining
regions of this county and southern
Nevada
When Bullfrog was first discovered
Parsons was camped ten miles dis
tant, trying to make himself believe
that he had at last made a strike He
threw up his claims and Joined the
rush, his burro dying within a quar-
ter OF Il mile OF the original strike.
This misfortune compelled him TO
camp on the spot, and In the morning
he discovered he was on rich ledge.
Two weeks later, he sold his holdings
for $4,000. This was the first gen
erous wind the old miner had exper-
fenced after forty years of almost con-
stant search for the precious stuff, dur
ing which he constantly faced hard
ships. and several times looked death
in the face.
With his funds Parsons bought up
outlying mining claims about Bullfrog
and within six months had disposed
of them to eastern capitalists for
sums aggregating over a million dol
lars. The Nevada, Los Angeles and
San Francisco banks were bursting
With his gold, and now he goes east
with the ambition to share his gains
with relatives, one a sister, who fifty
years ago. having great faith in the
gold fields OF California, sent him
forth, giving him all her money. lit
