An Old Man in Greeley, Colorado, Who
Is Famous as Violin Maker.

in the Interesting People" depart.
ment OF the April American Magazine
appears an account of George W. Fisk of
Greeley Colorado, violin maker, who
has been called "the American Stradi-
yarius." Many master musicians have
pronounced him the greatest violin
maker in the world. He combs the
world for the rare bits of wood which
are necessary for the perfect violin. and
! yet he finishes less than eight instru-
! ments year Following is an extract:
Every day he works in his little
shop, which has served his purpose for
thirtv-six years. He has now nearly
completed his one hundred and fifty-frst
violin. He tries to make them all alike,
and during the last twenty years he has
not had to put one on the shelf or take
one apart for changes after it had once
been put together. He IS now in his
seventy-tifth year, having been born in
Bennington Vt. in 1898. Later he
moved to Hoosck Falls where he be-
came an expert pattern-maker.
Mr.. Fisk came from New York to Col
orado in 1870. with the Union Colonsts,
headed by Horace Greeley and y. {.
Meeker. He settled in Greeley, where he
has lived almost continuously since that
time. and where for thirty years he led a

McKetchnie, the former Pirate in
fielder, is now the property of the New
York Highanders. Frank Chance re-
fused to waive him and bought him at
the waiver price. Chance bought him
with the intention of using him as a

through the season OF 1911 with the Pr
rates, playing almost every position in
the infield with the exception of catch.
Last season he was with the st. Paul

ANOTHER FAKE EXPLODED.
Rich Gold Ores Reported in Oklahoma
Have, According to Geological Survey,
About Same Value as Sea Water.

During the past winter there have
been persistent reports of the discovery
of gold and other valuable ores in the
vicinity of Albion. Pushmataha county,
Okla, some finds being reported as ex-
ceeding 500 a ton and some even as
approaching value of 5000 ton. 1t
has been known in the interior depart
ment that several mining companies"
have been or are being organized on
the basis of these assertions and that
many persons have been induced to in
vest in the stock. The excitement pro-
duced by the alleged rich values has
resulted in requests for an authorita
tive examination of the lands and the
temporary suspension of the sales OF
the tracts of Indian lands on or. near
which the supposed finds were located.
Although from its general knowledge
of the geology of the region, the geo
logical survey reported that there is no
likelihood that the area contains COM

Sailed Samples or Fraudulent Assay
Certificates?

The entire local excitement appears
to be based on certain fabulously high
assays made chiefly on material dug
from wells. Assay certificates which re-
ported as much as 80 ounces of gold
a ton were shown to Geologist Fergu.
son, but samples of the supposed gold
ore. collected by him and assayed by
Ledoux & Co., of New York. showed
less than two cents in gold and half a
cent in silver to the ton. The assay
certificates which are being shown by
the promoters are therefore either d.

MINER tURT At IONOPAH


Chris Spermo. machine drifler
at the Silver Top mine of the
Tonopah Mining Company, was in
jured yesterday morning when the
drill penetrated a missed hole and
set off the dpower. The machine
acted as a barrier and protected
the miner to considerable extent,
the principal injuries sustained
being in the arms.
Spermo was removed to the Miners
hospital, where DR.. Grigsby dressed
his wounds. The left arm was bad
ly lacerated by flying rocks, while
the right hand also received a
painful wound. Small bruises were
received about the breast. Spermo's
face and eyes escaped injury. The
narrow escape from fatal injury is
considered miraculous. At the
hospital today it was reported that
the injured man would soon be able
to resume his duties.-Bonanza.

LOCAL MEASURE IS PASSED
New Law that Will Interest
Everybody.

Saturday evening in the assembly
bill passed that should 20 through
the Senate. 1t provides that the
County Commissioners may direct
the care of a cemetery, and pro-
vides for the proper plotting Of
the same. The bill, while intended
for Ormsby County, is good in
many instances. The Carson ceme-
tery, while located in a site that
could be made attractive to those
who are unfortunate to have to
purchase lots, is anything but in
keeping with the requirements.
The condition of sections of the
cemetery has caused many adverse
expressions of opinions by those
who have visited from other Sec
tions. There could and should be
enforced regulatinos that would
compel the cleaning and righting
Of the cemetery grounds. It
was with this idea in sight
that the bill was passed. It
corrects condition thu: every plat
