paper for further particulars. The
article, which Is a gem in It's line, is
as follows
The fact that some have riches
thrust upon them" is shown by an ex-
perience which befell Harry wilt Of
Gary Ind, formerly resident Of this
county. Mrs D. w. Stout Of Madison
county has been a lifelong friend of
Wilt and he has written her Of the
fortune which has come to him un-
solicited since leaving this section.
Six years ago, while Wilt was still
a resident of this section, lifelong
friend, o. O. Emmons, decided to 90
west Wilt staked him and Emmons
went west, struck ledge near Gold
field, at Tonopah, organized com
pany, capitalized at $1,5OO,OOO and
gave Wilt about $4,000 worth Of
shares.
SOME LETTER.
This week Wilt received a letter
from his friend Emmons with an en-
closed check urging him to come and
help develop the gold field The stock
is controlled by Emmons and wit
and couple of friends.
The mine is one of the richest in
Nevada. 1t is stamp gold and requires
no smelling The assay is 1880 a
ton, while that of the Belmont gold
mine, the richest and biggest in Ne
vada, pays only $12.4O ton.
The beauty about the mine is that
Wilt and Emmons own an adjoining
ledge that is chuck full Of the pre-
cious ore. They have mere 167
acres there. But this mine is not
made up of hundreds Of individuals
just the property of witt and his two
friends.
CAN'T TELL VALUE.
Wilt says he really doesn't know at
the present time how much the mine
is worth But after he makes an in
spection trip out there he declares
that he will be able to give full re.
port upon the value of the mine.
TO ERECT MILL.
The former Madison county man
will take charge of the erection Of a
mill at the mine when he gets there.
, The mill has been purchased, but has
! not yet been put up All that must
be done is to put the ore in the mill
separate the parts and take the pre-
cious stuff to the bank. Once get the
+ money coming out of the mine, devel
opment will go on rapidly, and there
S is no telling how much larger the
g assay is the longer the mine is
e worked.
:, With the capital stock placed in
; the hands of wilt and Emmons, they
t are not afraid of any large corpora
d tion coming in and freezing" then
d out.
n In the meantime, Wilt is busy dol
Q ing out the cigars across the counte
d of his little drug store at Gary, sam,
as if he wasn't miner, not a forty
miner, but "thirteener" and a luck,
one.
