A CHALK STORY
WITH A CHEESE END
Tale of an Old Billiard Table Used at
Saltwater Many Yeas Ago.

to chalk the cues, was soon exhaust
ed and as none could be purchased
in town Vaughn went to the chalk
hills and quarried out piece about
six feet square This he brought
home and placed on large table
in the corner of his saloon, and
when the players wanted to chalk
their cues all they had to do was
to stick the end CT the cue against
this slab of chalk, give the cue
few twists and the business was
done. In the course of time numer-
Gus holes, the size of the end of
cue, were worn in the slab and
eventually the whole piece of chalk
looked like a colander.
All the old-time crack billiard
players like Lem Allen, Warren
Williams, Jim Richards, Billy
Grimes, Tony Trolsond, Tom Toom-
ey and others learned the game
on this table, which accounts for
their being such experts on smaller
ones now
A fayorite trick of Lem Aliens
was, when he had a hard man to
beat at the game, to jam small
chunk Of cheese down his oppo-
nent's chalk hole. This creased his
opponents cue instead of chalking it,
and the consequences were that Mr.
LENS adversary made so many mis-
cues that he was easily defeated.

RAWHIDE MILLS
RUN CONSTANTLY
On GOOD ORES
LEASERS GO DOWN; CROSSCUT
REGULARLY; GOOD SUI
PHIDES FOUND

Il. W. King, operating the Raw
hide Queen and Rawhide Coalition
properties and directing the Queen
mill which is doing custom work
for the entire camp, came to Reno
yesterday with $4,000 worth of pre-
cipitates from the cyanide auxiliary,
the second shipment from the new
mill. Mr.. King gives a very OPP
timistic report of the working OF
the leases at Rawhide and with the
mill running constantly at full ca
pacity the hopes of those who have
stood by that badly buffeted camp
bid fair to be justified.
1t may be surprising, but it is
the fact, on Mr.. Kings authority,
that Rawhide has produced to date
over a half million in gold. The
National mill has been working reg
ularly and the new Queen mill will
materially aid in handling the out
put. Both mills have the latest
equipment fo. the cyanide process in
addition to the usual equipment.
The main shaft on the Queen
is now down 500 feet and has tap
ped a promising vein of sulphide
ore on which the reliance of the
camp rests for permanency and ex-
tent of values. The upper levels
above the water line produced re-
markable jewelry ore, but until the
sulphides We're found further min
ing was more or less of a gamble.
The Superior lease is down to the
5OO-foot level with crosscuts at
every level. 1t has produced $780,
600 already and crosscut will now
be run from the 500.
The Crown lease cut the ore body
On the SO0-foot level and is down in
the shaft $50 feet, where they have
started to crosseut for the ore.
The Phoenix lease has produced
more marketable ore than any and
it is very probable that it, with
the others, will keep the Queen
mill running at full capacity in
definitely.

The Churchill county papers from
time to time relate "reminiscences of
olden times in the Carson Sink
country, but as yet we have seen
no story about the deposit of chalk
which lies some twenty miles from
Saltwater, the old county seat of
Churchill county. This chalk is very
fine material and some day will be
made use Of.
Away back in the early days a
character by the name of r. @.
Vaughn started a saloon in Still
water, and among the attractions of
the place was a combination bill
lard and pool table. This table
was the old style and only a triae
less in area than the diamond Of a
baseball field, while the cues used
were about eight feet in length.
1t took man of muscle to drive a
billiard ball around this table with
one shot District court was held
in saltwater occasionally and once
IN a while there was a dance, and
yearly a county fair and horse races.
On these occasions the little town
would be full to oyeraowing, and
the saloon did a good business, the
new billiard table being in great
demand. In the course of time bill
Hard cues became broken and were
replaced by straight willow poles
with the bark stripped off and tipped
with buttons cut out Of pigskin.

How the Great Writer Rewarded the
Chlffonnier Who Had Found
His Lost Spoon.

A Paris chiffonnier makes living
of sort, and he sometimes, in over
hauling the dustbins, comes across
find. In this respect Paris contem-
porary relates capital story of Vic
tor Hugo. A little silver gilt SOU
venir spoon, which the poet valued
very much, disappeared. Through
the carelessness of the maid servant
it had found its way into the ash
bucket, and in due course into the
hands of the chiffonnier who prac-
tced in the district.
This worthy succeeded in getting
the poet to awake from his reveries
and to descend from the lofty heights
Of Olympus, in other words his
study, to receive back the lost spoon.
Hugo was delighted to get back his
souvenir. The author Of "Hernani"
was never prodigal, SO he rewarded
the chiffonnier by presenting him
with copy of his 'Ies Chansons
des Rues ct des Sois," saying
''There, my man, you will find in it
as much gold as is contained in any
jewel case in the world." London

Is Acquitted

Peter Vorbanich, the defender OF
the Waterhen dam, near Biwabik,
who was charged with assault in
the first degree was acquitted of
the charge by jury at Hibbing,
Tuesday. 1t took the jury but ten
minutes to arrive at verdict.
Owing to the absence of import
! ant witnesses, it is not probable
that the other cases against Vor-
banich, assault in the second
degree and resisting an officer will
be taken up right away, if indeed
they are taken up at all. The
trouble all arose because Vorbanich
forbade lumber concern to drive
through his farm, he claiming that
the time of former contract had
expired. Vorbanich defed the
lumbermen and carried rifle, as
serting that it would be dangerous
to attempt to trespass on his prem
ises. Then the authority of the
county officers was sought, with
the result that the fight ensued in
which revolvers, rifle and pitch
fork figured as weapons. Vorban-
ich was wounded by the gun shots
after he had wounded George
King, by thrust from the pitch
fork.
