general war might be averted.

MAN DIES
POOR AFTER YEARS
OF KINDLY LIFE
OLD MAN WHO LIVED IN THE
BEST CAMPS OF SOUTH
ERN NEVADA.

Charlie Chung is dead He died at
the county hospital after spending 45
years in the mining camps OF Nevada
He was one Of the best known char
acters in old Esmeralda county and
during the best days of Candelaria,
Marietta and the palmy days of Haw-
thorne, he was the friend of the white
man and many a poor prospector
Charlie was not rich when death
claimed him or he would not have
been county patient, but the tax
payers will not have to pay for in
terring his wthered old frame. His
countrymen take more pride in pro
viding decent interment than do
many of their white associates, and
the cost of the funeral will be de-
frayed by the Mongolian colony.
Charlie, with Billy Ford opened
one Of the first restaurants in Tono-
pah, and for two years theirs was
the most popular eating place in
camp He boasted of the friendship
of numerous white men, among whom
he numbered scores of good advisers.
One man who always looked after
Charles financial affairs is authority
for the statement that Charlie in one
month alone gave away meals valued
at $1,400 to poverty-stricken miners
and, to the shame of the white race,
it must be added that not one of the
benefciaries of the despised yellow
race ever found time to pay back a
single dollar of the charitable dona-
ton
This was only sample of Charles
generosity and his good nature made
him the prey of lot of coromorants
who subsisted on his bounty The old
chef was warned repeatedly against
the impostors, but to his bland ma
ture all white men were alike and
he never learned to distinguish be
, tween the reputable and disreputable
! Notwithstanding these impositions
/ Charlie fiourished when times were
, good and he saved quite a substan
! tial hoard with the intention of re
turning home to the land of the dra
} gon. where his bones would rest IL
peace. He carried bank accoun
