their transportation, my client footed
it over the pass, helping drag or
sled on which his companion was
frequently riding, adding to the bur.
den. The companion was sick, how
ever, and that might have been an
excuse though | have been on the
trail many times myself, and have
noticed how men have the habit OF
getting sick when the hardest work
was in evidence. My client was N
dy, and with the help of the dogs
he did get the provisions in to his
companions, and the men lived on
them through the winter supple
menting their fare. of course with
fish, game, etc.
Spring came my client went to
work in a saw mill to earn some
money; other men took different
jobs and three were to remain and
work the property, supported by the
others. They would make a good

save the gold and let my client bring
it on to New York, and make another
attempt at getting a dredge.
There was a fighting chance for
such plucky men; I knew that my eli
ent's word could be relied on, and
If he brought back a good showing of
gold the outlook seemed fair that
they could get a dredge.
Just at this point the unexpected
happened. 1t seemed that my client
had been deceived; that the power of
affNpVAxr fxvD Inv thA rrn,,, - vas,,
ser who put their properties together
was conditional that a dredge should
be produced. My client had trusted
his companion, but the true facts
had been concealed from him. He
thought his company actually own
ed the claims it was operating. but
all had been deception. the transfer
of property were of no value except
in case of two of the claims. The
men said they were much obliged to
my client for taking care of them
during the winter, but each one took
up his claim again. and the boy vas
given to understand that what he
had done was the least the men could
expect from him after he had tied
their properties up for a year. Short
ly after this the mining field promo
ter died. My client was well connec-
ted in the east, and his friends were
somewhat indignant.
This is a lesson SO often recurring.
and so little needed. How many
companies there are which have
come to grief after having bee s.ar-
ted without a proper search in re-
gard to the titles they propose to
take over. Designing people so pre-
pare the papers that they look all
right and regular. but even the most
careful lawyers and experts are at
times deceived, and many are the
failures which result.

BULLION FROM FAYANT
LEASE AT GOLD CIRCLE.

Joe Fayant arrived in town yes
terday in his new Buick auto with
fifteen pounds of gold bullion, the
product of ore from the Fayant-
Schloss-Ludwick lease on the Es-
meralda claim in Gold Circle. The
ore was reduced in the Geyman mill
at the camp. Gold Circle is one of
the camps of northern Nevada
that is making good, and the ship
ment of bullion made yesterday is
not the first made from the district.
From the Eayant-Schloss-Ludwick
lease alone a number of shipments
of bullion have been made through
the First National Bank here to the
mint.

CHAFEY MINES SEND
IN BULLION STEADILY.


Nothing from the Chafey
mining district of Nevada these days
except gold bullion, and this un-
doubtedly is a much better advertise
ment for the camp than the daily
reports of strikes, says the Salt Lake
Tribune. Ed. S. Chafey, the man
who brought the old camp back to
a new life and to a new name, stated
yesterday that the Chafey Mines
company had received from its mill
another bar of bullion which weighed
forty pounds, The management is
whipping out between seventy and
eighty pounds of the bullion per
month. Mr.. Chafey said also that
the McCarvel leassers had shipped a
car lot of high-grade gold ore to the
local market.

locality and associated with him

practical miners, who were at the
time holding the claim and making
wages.
Their combined strength was

sured me they we're all enthusiastic
and if they didn't quarrel, they would
win out in the end. The younger
man was full of energy. good health
and sturdy mental and moral quail

show himself, state what he had. and
ask IL they would entrust a little
money to him on a chance; for 1t
would be a chance from their stand
point, though to my client it was a
sure thing, and his enthusiasm
could not be checked, though / told
him that sure things did not grow
where mining was conducted. The
boy did raise some money, not much
bnt enough to take him and his
companions back to the mines with
a good supply of provisions. They
were in a stronger position now, be-
cause the property had been trans
fered to their company, and if quar-
rels developed the majority could
legally rule and control the property.
1t wasn't such a bad situation after
all, and with a group of practical
miners to conduct the operations, it
did seem that after a time someone
could be found who would be willing
to send a dredge up to Alaska; for
in that part of the world a gold
dredge is a very good property, and
there are, it is said, abundant oppor-
tunities for profitable employment.
On their return and while on the
Pacific Coast there was a little more
extravaganza on the part of the Older
man, and some money was lost in
negotiations to find some n who
would put up a dredge. Then the
boys were in a measure up against
it again. The older man proposed
to quit then and there and let theil
companions in Alaska take care OF
themselves. My client would not
hear of such a proposition; they
had promised money and supplies
and what they had left was goins
to the camp. In January they ar,

Municipal ExpenCiture.

All American cities. SAYS the Mime
apolis journal, should do more for
their people. That they do not is
sometimes a marvel The reason for
the paucity of results Is difficult to
find. Undoubtedly much money Is
wasted. UnGucStionably some Is stolen.
But careleSsncSs and graft do not ac-
count for the whole situation. The
true cause is probably the fact that In
everything it buys, from the cheapest
labor to highest priced material, the
city gets less for its money year in and
year out than the private purchaser.
Uncle Sam has the reputation of driv-
ing hard bargains. but our American
cities never have achieved such fame.
