HAD THRILLING EX-
PER|ENCE IN NEVADA

About twenty-five years ago
Bishop Seaman, of Salt Lake City
who is now here arranging for
the erection of the new hospital
had a thrilling experience in
Robinson canyon which he will
never forget. He WAS making the
trip from Eureka to Ely bv stage
and arrived at Plot Knob about
midnight one cold and stormy
night in midwinter. The regular
driver stopped at that place, and
an aged Italian was put in charge
Of the team. After leaving the
station it was found impossible for
the driver to keep the team in the
road, and as a consequence the
stage turned turtle and the Bishop
was thrown into gully with great
violence. His head struck a rock
which split open his scalp from
the forehead back for several
inches. The force of the fall
tore the scalp loose from the head
until it hung down over his ear.
He was stunned for a time, but
on regaining consciousness he
managed to find the road, and
after travelling for several miles he
saw light and entered the house
which proved to be a saloon, ir
which we're a number of men,
some of whom were asleep on tn {
floor.
The Bishops garb of course
proclaimed his profession and while
many of the men had been drink
ing to excess it was but a fsecont
until every man in the house wal
doing everything possible to re-
lieVe his distress. The Bishop wa
"all in and ready to give Up tb,
ghost, but The frozen bl1od wa
washed fromhis face by the men O.
the saloon, and his wound temper
arily dressed, after which he wa
assisted on to Ely by kindly hands
There was no doctor here at tina
time, but j. F Cupid dressed tn,
wound as b"st he could, and thel
took several stitches in the scall
with needle and thread. III,
Bishop was cared for at the hom,
of friends in Fly for several days
aud when he had sufficient.
! recovered to stand the fatiguinj
; jour- ey, he was taken to Eureka
where an eminent physician statet
that the wound had been mos
; skillfully handled.
The Bishop was so kindly treated
: by the saloon men and tn,
founders" of the place, that h,
5 has meyer since had the heart t,
preach against the saloon business
He was brought to realize tina
there is good in all things, and OF
this occasion, as we'll as at man!
, other times, he has had reason t,
know that all saloon men are kim
hearted, and will do all i'm thpi
power for unfortunates who are ii
, need Of assistance.-Ely Record.

The recent find of platinum near
Illipah forty miles west of Ely has
attracted the attention. of federal
officials, who have sent for samples
of the ore, which has been for
warded to them. Platinum is such
a rare metal in the United States
that the government has taken an
interest in the discovery. Many
assays have been made since the
discovery and all. show platinum
in what is considered paying
guam tity, if worked on a large
scale. The interest taken in the
discovery by the government is
most encouraging to the local
men who own the property Ely
