J. 5. Caruth.

John Stovasl Caruth was the
youngest son Of the late lament
ed Mr.. A. L and Mrs. Josephine
Caruth. He was born in Verona.
Miss, February IL, 1879, and
departed this life in Tupelo
March IS. 1911, being thirty two
years, one month and six days
old. The family moved to Tu-
pvlo when John was a CHI d,
where he spent his life EXCEPT i
few years which he spent in
Mem n learning his trade.
He was married to Miss Ona
Barber, of Tuscaloosa, Ala, to
which union three children were
born, all of which survive him.
In 1906 he professed faith in
Christ and ined Tupelo Bapti t
C urch, where he held member
ship until the day Of his death.
He has been in feeble health
for the past three years and has
suffe.. ed much. He was not only
willing to die. but expressed a
desire that God would take him.
His words were not the same as
those of the sweet singer of
Israel, or the first Christian
martyr, or of Jesus on the cross,
Into thy hand I commit my
spirit" but thev meant the same
thing. He said, "Oh that Il e
Lord would take me now" The
image of these terms is that of d
man deSositing his true life in
the hands If God as a trust. We
m lst take these words as more
than sentiment. They express
confidence, they constitute an
argument, they come back upon
us as a sublime assurance.
John was a dutiful son, ian
affectionate husband, a loving
father and an estimate friend
He leaves a wife, mother, three
children, three brothers and two
sisters and a host of friends to
mourn his absence.

Camp Robbers

One of the most contemplate and
criminal factors of mining region
Is the camp roboer. Ottentimes men
working their own ground establish
camp, erect cabin or tent, pro-
vide complete equipment OF tools,
provisions and necessary utensils.
They work until their grub runs ous,
are obliged to 20 elsewhere Temporal
rily to seek employment to earn
money necessary for new supply OF
groceries, leaving their cabin aud
tools on the ground.
In few months, perhaps year,
the owners return to work their
claim, whec, 10 and behold, all the
tools, utensils and even the tent is
gone. 4H 81 !. :
These camp thieveries have been
going on'in this vicinity to the know
ledge of the writer for over 20 years,
and never has there been complain
lodged against the suspected parties.
And yet it is one of the most despi-
! cable forms of robbery.
Last week young man who has
spent considerable money and many
months of his time trying to develop
piece of of mining ground near
here, returned after nearly q years
absence, ordered bill of goods,
hired q team to haul him to the
ground, and or arrival found tha,
his camp had been pillaged. The
stove, all dishes and cooking utensils
hammers, picks, $50 pounds Of steel
the tent, bellows, windlass had beer
taken. Also $50 feet of wire cable
had been cut from the shaft bucket
and token. away. In relating thu
matter to our reporter the younl
man said:

IN BONANZA.
The Comet Mine Producing Sens
sational Ore.

Mr.. T. A. Maher Is the next happy
man to step in the lime-li2ht, OF vest
ern mining. Tommy, as he is fanil-
iarly known to US, has been prospect
ing on the Gabb's Valley Range for
over two years and has succeeded
where. hundreds have failed over the
same ground. His claims, the
Comet" group, are located i've miles
north of Thorne station, being near
or adjoining Powers, .Hennessey and
Fox properties. Tommy's first dis
covery, about the close OF 1910, was
a small high grade gold vein in a
granite formation The following
day while on his way to the station
with sample Of the above men,
toned quartz he ran upon some gold
| float at the base OF the mountain.
This be also took along and sent his
two samples to Tonopah for assay.
His first find went $240 to the ton
and his second went $50 The latter
he located January lst of the present
year and after few hours work un-
covered galena pocket, a sample
of this was given to Mr.. Scruby,
railroad agent at Thorne, who, to
satisfy his curiosity. had it assayed.
Though it showed no visible gold
the assay returns gave 1922 gold
and 1867 silver, a total value of $l1, :
4S9.
This vein was opened at four other
points and at each place the quartz
punnels the precious metal freely.
"A short time ago another rich vein
was struck on this claim, which is
said to be boom maker. 1t assayed
1854 gold and 10 per cent copper.
Experts say that ultimate results
will prove the proposition to be sill
yer one.
Tommy says it, is "copper-fast-
ened" gold proposition. Whether be
means it is already sold or runs high
| IN copper we cannot determine. Ev-
identity he has a cinch on copper, for
some of it runs as high as so per
cent.
r. d. Wolf, miner and prospecter
with 20 years experience, who in
spected the out-croppings, enthusi-
astically stated that the owner had a
mine in sight and to maintain this
bald assertion, he offered to sink a
80 foot shaft with the proviso that If
it pinched he would ask no payment
for his labor. Subsequently work
was started and.one weeks operation
has, so far sustained his previous
opinion, for, at depth of 20 feet
the vein has widened from l8 inches
at surface to 81 feet of solid copper
ore speckled with gold.
We are strongly inclined to the be-
lief that our young friend has live
proposition, and we are convinced
that if pluck, energy and sobriety
are qualifications for success, then
Tommy will, in a day or two, be
reaching for the top rung of the
ladder and we predict boom for
Mineral county.
