Dug Millions From Earth
James Graham Fair Amassea e1At
Fortune In Nevada, After HaV-
ing Failed to Find Riches
In California.
-, It, q pafarN
. By Madison G. Peters

lanes G. FAIR was Scotch-4rlsn-
man, born near Belfast, in 1881
- of very humble parents. To say
that he was a Scotch-Irishman means
that he was q Scotchman who went 10
Ireland to be born. James received
fair education. His parents came 70
America in 1S43, settling at Geneva. IL
When about II years Of age a eIerh-
shin was obtained for him in Chicago
dry goods store.
wear later the discovery Of gold
in California startled the world. FAR
Joined the rush to the gold neldS- he
had lust enough money to buy an out
fit He started over the plains and
deserts and came at length to the gOI-
den land. For II years he prCspected
in valley and on hill, on river and IN
gulch, sharing the hard life of the
daring adventures who were rIskIng
everything in the chase of wealth, but
he did not have much success He was
discouraged Then came the stampede
of the California miners to Nevada in
1850. Fair Joined them
Became Mine Superintendent
When the mines were opened IN
Nevada in 1865. owing to his powerful
physique, untiring energy and daring
nature, he was made superintendent OF
the Ophir mine. From this time on
ward. Fairs luck was phenomenal.
Whatever he touched seemed to turn
to gold. In 10 years he was able to
Join with Mackay, Flood and O'Brien
in the bonanza firm which controlled
the California and Consolidated Vir-
ginia silver mines on the COmstock
ledge. This ledge had been mined for
several years, the ore growing richer
the deeper the ledge was explored,
and finally in 1872 the true bonanza"
was reached, a deposit of ore exceed
ingly rich in gold and silver of enOr-
nous extent.
Bonanza Caused Sensation.
The magnitude of the deposit was
not. however, realized until about
three years later, being then discOv-
cred by the use of the diamond drill.
Each of the mining companies had is
sued 1850 shares Of stock, atterWard
subdivided to $4,000 shares and when
the true bonanza had been discovered,
an era of almost frantic speculation
ensued on the Stock Exchange in San
Francisco Mining experts famed the
excitement by estimating the ore in
sight at from $500, 100000 to $780,
to 500 each and the bonanza firm
heaped an immense harvest from the
speculatiOns. The mines actually pro
duced s150,OOO,O00 and by 1873 the
shares fell as low as IS each
Fail Affected Prosperity.
The fall dealt a blow to the pros
perity of the Pacific coast. Fair had
other mining properties and was at one
time president of the Nevada bank when
his fortune was estimated a. $4,000, 600.
In 1880 he made a tour of the world.
From 1881 to 1887 he sat in the United
States senate. His wife, Mrs. Teresa
Fair, divorced him in 1891. He had
four children, two boys and two girls.
The two latter married into the fami-
lies OF Oelrichs and Vanderbilt One
Of the sons died early. Fair passed
away in December 1904.

This is a splendid idea, but don't be

your mind with your body.

British officers who had been
confined as hostages in the Jail
IN Pittsfield. Mass, were transferred to
the penitentiary in Philadelphia. Their
release from the Pittsfield Jail was in
conformity with a law recently passed
by the Massachusetts, legislature pro-
hibiting the confinement Of the prison
ers of war in the jail in that state. The
matter OF expense was the principal OBJ
lection to keeping the British prison
ers. Seven coaches, strongly guarded,
were employed in taking the British
officers to Philadelphia. The Pittsfield
newspaper, IN cOngratulating the citi-
zens of that town upon getting rid of
the prisoners, also commented upon the
enormous expense of the transfer,
which it estimated to be not less than
$50 for each day Of the Journey to

sluggish and torpid and you are constipated and bilious, it is impossible to feel well.
 There was a time when a great number of people took calomel when so troubled. But this is not true today. It has become widely known that calomel often has bad after effects and is even dangerous to many. The use of Dodson's Liver Tone instead of calomel has spread wonderfully because it has proved so bene- ficial in so many households.
 M. B. Converse recommends and guarantees Dodson's Liver Tone instead of calomel and guarantee to refund purchase price (50c. to you instantly with out question if you are not per- fectly pleased with the way Tn which it relieves you from con- stipation, sick headache. bilious ness, etc. It "livens /the liver" and is pleasantxtasting, veg etable liquid, easy to take and causes no pain, no gripe,~ no bad results, change from your regu- lar duties and habits.

GERMAN POSITION
 DESPERATE, SAYS
 CRITIC IN POLAND

Paris, Dec. The present situation in Poland, according to Ludovic Nau- deau, the special representative of the Journal De Paris, who is at the Rus. sian headquarters in the field, is as follows:
 General Mackenzen's Sth German army is separated into three groups. The first, between Gombinss to the north and Brzeziny to the south, is being attacked on three sides There remains an opening on the western road toward Kutno which, however, will be Threatened by Russians ad- vanctng from Lodz. Part of this first group at Glowno and Stryykow is ali most entirely surrounded.
 'The second group, to the south at Rzgow and Tuszyn, is trying to force it's way through to the north. but it Is opposed by the Russians at Lodz and the western road is close to it by the same Russian army which recent ly beat two German corps at Wielun. E '"The third. group to the west is in a critical but not a, desperate position for by a. right flank at Zdunslza Wola it still holds. the road which would serve for a retreat or for reinforce ments if General Won Hindenburg thinks it still possible to try to save his 9th army.

 LEAD GAY LIVES

lfCamrespomdence of Associated Press9
 London, Nov. 20-1he lives of those o9ncda11y hesigna1ed as a1fen enc rniesf in England are not cheerful these days although they are not in any danger of insults or violence. The. only outbreak against them was the recent r1oting in the suburbs of Lon don when several German shops were Mxnashe6
 The rioters received a 1essons likely 10 put a damper on future outbreaks. The ringleader was sentenced to one year in prison. two supporters to six months and eighteen others were re- leased on bonds. Hostility against Germans was caused principally by the popular belief that all of them are active or possible spies. The most recent campaign in the newspapers has been against the Influential and wealthy Germans who play a. powerful part in the British financial life Nat aura1ized Germans as well as those who claim the allegiance of their birth are included in the general cloud of szaspfcion. There are several German born members Of parliament and by an understanding among themselves they are remaining away from West minister during the war. None of them has yet resigned.
 few days ago several newspapers started an agitation to have all male Germans and Ausrians confined in concentration camps and a general roundup was under way. Two causes nipped this movement. in the bud One was prompt retaliation in Germany where all / Engnsh residents were gathered by the police and the other was the did1cuIty of finding accommo- S7atfous for the great numbers of for eignsrs who were eligible for the con-
