Il suppose the board will raise The
objection that the money In the bank

can sell the bonds and put back the

AT the beginning Of the present

FORMER OWNER OF UNCLE
SAM NINE IS FOUND DEAD
Sold Il for a Fortune. Went the Pace
With His Money and Led
Strenuous Career.

REDDING, Cal. ug. 11.-Prospect-
ors from here came upon the body
OF ]. w. Conant, prominent in the
mining history of Shasta county, at
Salt Creek, between this city and
Shasta. 1t Is supposed that Conant
died two or three weeks ago, as the
features Of his face could not be rec
ognized. From letters found in the
pockets of the clothing the body was
identified as that of Conant. Death
resulted from natural causes.
Jack Conant became famous in the
northern part of the state by max
ing strike on the Uncle Sam mine,
near Kenneth, which he sold for $780,
600 after taking out $13s,000. The
sale was made IN 1883 and the resi-
dents remember that Conant demand
ed that the money for the sale OF the
mine be made In $50 coins.
Conant had then over a quarter OF
million dollars, and three years
later he was broke" He bought
land, horses, lent money, gambled,
purchased numbers OF diamonds for
himself and every member of his fam
lily.
After he lost his fortune he started
to prospect for another rich mine, but
never succeeded In making strike
again. At the time of his death he
was prospecting at Salk Creek
Conant was born in Tennessee Jan.
IA, 1S45, and during the war joined
the Federal army. He came to Cali
fornia In 1873, and while mining in
Siskiyou county found a pocket from
which he took $4,000 In gold In one
day. The Uncle, Sam mine, which
he sold. paid $S,00o,000 before It was
closed down.
Conant won fame as an apprehend-
er OF criminals. He captured three
murderers in Sishyou county and
two stage robbers. For the last cap
ture he was paid a reward of $1,000
