PANS OUT HUNDRED
DOLLARS PER HOUR

BISHOP, Cal, Nov. 11.-At Bur-
CESS, a new gold camp located in
the Inyon mountains due east Of
Lone Pine, there is a prospector
who Is panning out gold at the rate
of 500 per hour, With a mortar,
q frying pan and ONE water this
lucky individual has Dame Fortune
dashed TO the mast, and is deliber-
ately going through her pockets at
his w sweet will. In and about
Keller. Lone Pine and Burgess this
mans find has caused the greatest
excitement experienced here since
tn halcyon days Of Cerro Gordo, for
this man. Wells by name, seems to
have found the home nest of that
fcIle fairy known as Gold Sprite,
and his discovery is Turing men
from far and wide to his side.
News Of Wells bonanza discovery
reached Bishop this week through
w. Gillette Scott of the Inyo Mines
Syndicate, who has been working a
prospecting gang at Hummer, many
miles south of Burgess, and SCOTS
Information was today corroborated
by q. O. McGrath, manager Of the
Four Metals company at keeler,
who Is here on an important mining
deal. Scott states the following de-
tails concerning the Wells strike:
Wells, working alone for more
than a year, has sunk . shaft 81
feet deep on a quartz vein which at
this depth was three feet wide. In
this vein there now lies exposed q
stringer Of gold. the pure stuff az
most. which runs from $4,000 to
IS4S0O to tho ton. This pay streak
IS from one inch to six inches wide
and Wells has exposed his vein 81
feet by drifting on 1t, the ricf
strlnger. in It's varying widths, show
ing tho entire length. Wells car
ried the new Of his find to Keeler
and there stated that he could horn
out 500 an hour, for which reason
fhc was loath to say much about hi
: property, and refuses all offers o
sale.

l ment made by Wells, and the Who'll

RESCUED MEN HAD
ENOUGH OF DESERT

I'D Blauhar of Pasadena and j,
Reynolds of Grass Valley, Califor-
mia, who lost themselves two weeks
and and caused expense and hard
ship to their neighbors to rescue
them from death, and who started
another story Of the terrors of the
desert to circulate throughout the
country, when they recovered from
the effects OF eating lizards and
sucking the Juice out of cacti, CON
cluded that the ozone of the Ne
vada southland did not agree with
their delicate Organisms, and sud
denly announced that they had not
lost any gold mines and If there
are any in the hills skirting Death
Valley they may stay there for all
we eare-we are going home to our
wives and the babies and chickens.
And everyone seems to think that
is just where they should be- and
they departed, hoping soon to reach
orange groves, beehives and things.
And no one tried to delay their de-
parture.-Rhyolite Herald.

GOOD ASSAYS RECEIVED
FROM COOPER LEASE

Tom Kendall and Billy Douglass,
who brought in several samples Of
ore Friday evening from the Cooper
Nagle lease at Glendale, yesterday
received the assayer's certificates.
An average sample from the ledge
ia the bottom Of the ten-foot Wine
which is sunk on the 65-foot level,
gave returns of $16S per ton. The
ledge will average in width be-
tween 16 and Is inches and reports
received from the camp yesterday
state that the lease is looking better
every day. Indications point toward
the ore body widening out with
depth. and to prove this fact, the
sinking viii be continued.
A sample taken from the tunnel
on the main property, owned by the
Cliffords and Nays, gave returns OF
$401.20 to the ton. This specimen
was of a sulphide character and
when PANIED would not result in q
solitary color of gold.

The Reno Journal contains the
following article concerning Mrs.

railroad yards there, and was taken
over to Or. Plymire's house. He
welcomed the old lady, and turned
her v G to his mother, who keeps
house for him. The old lady was
shown to a room in the doctors
house, which is a c~ommodious one,

THAN LEPROSY

SAN JOSE, Cal, Nov. 1.-THE

Mrs. Freitas appeared at her hus-
bands ranch as Unexpectedly as II
she had been raised from the dead.
She was one of those released from
the Molokai island colony in the
Pacific recently after a government
examination which revealed that she
was not a leper.
When she arrived home she found
that another woman had taken hel
place and had borne her husband
three children. Freitas refused al
first to give up the other woman
Tears availed not. Then came {
Justice court warrant and promises
of court troubles. The matter was
settled out of court and Mrs. Fret
tas was taken back home.
When Mrs. Freitas was sent Il
the leper colony, her husband &C
eompanied her and lived with he
there. He regretted this soon an
when he found that he was not al
lowed to leave, he escaped by swim
ming, showing his little child befor
him on a raft. He found his wa
