pest known characters In this section.
He was the drst recorder of Lake
county.
1.-THE first prospecting party that n
tered the gulch was under the leader
ship of Abe, and they had not been
very successful. They worked all the
way up the gulch from below Granite
without finding any values, and all Of
them were nearly blinded by the snow.
They were about ready to quit when
Lee suggested that they try another
pan. He dug down until he struck a
LAYER of cement, and below this the
gravel was softer Lee, although suf-
fering terribly from snow blindness,

is headed by Philander Chase Knox,
secretary of state, who was born
in 1863 at Brownsville, Pa. He
graduated from Mount Union college,
Ohio, in 1872, and three years later
was admitted to the bar. During the

sistant United States district attorney
for the western district of Pennsyl-
vania. In the latter wear he formed
a law partnership with James H. Reed
which still exists and which has rep
resented many large corporations, in
Guiding the Carnegie Company. Mr..
Knox entered President McKinley's
