How Lead Silver Ore Made History
for the Now Historic Camp.

How Lead Silver Ore Made History
for the Now Historic Camp.
The camp of Eureka, New, at the
height of its activity had popula-
ton close to five figures. Austin at
this time was compelled to take a
back seat; and Phoebe crawled into
her shell; for 20 years Eureka was
the whole show and rejolced in her
prominence. Everything was as rosy
as Flemish sunset; and though Eur
eka could not hope to rival Phoebe in
the matter Of linen for breakfast"
she had enough to maintain a re-
spectacle average. Prosperity filled
the cup between 1870 and 1890; but
after that adversely took to mixing
the drinks for the camp-each one a
little worse than the one which pre-
coded it, writes Charles r. Van Loan
In the Saturday Evening Post. For
the benefit of those who take their
narrative. sprinkled with names and
dates and vital statistics, Mr., Van
Loan gives the following thumbnail
history of Nevada's lead camp In
1864 five prospectors set out from
Austin, following the pony express
route eastward to the mountains. On
the western slope of the range they
found ore that puzzled them; and as
they could learn nothing of 1t by ex-
animation they put fragments of II
into their camp fire. The result was
an immediate flow of whitish metal
The prospectors argued long over It;
those who claimed 1t was silver were
told that 1t was too SOFT and those
who thought 1t was lead were told
that 1t was too hard. Both sides were
correct--it was combination OF both
metals. The news of the strike ere
ated little or no excitement Nevada, |
with one eye on the tremendous out
put of the Comstock lode, could not
be bothered with anything so COM
monplace as lead mine with silver
For several years after
discovery the district languished while
attempts were made to
smelt the silver-lead ore; but In 1869
draft and blast furnaces solved the
problem, and the camp of Eureka
bounced out on the map OF the state
as the metropolis of eastern Nevada,

was just beginning to sit up and howl,

resigned as director Of the company
some months ago. His retirement as
manager was not unexpected by those
familiar with Stewart affairs.
Trouble Over Quatsino.
mfr. Bacon has been one of the most
persistent advocates of the taking
over by the Stewart company of the
Quatsino properties in British Column
bia. I nthis policy he encountered OPP
position from the majority of the d.
rectors of the company and the Stew
art company finally decided not t.
take them
"The report of Horace V. Winchell
in which he advised against taking
the Quatsino options was regarded by
the majority of the directors of the
company as sufficient basis for their
action.
with the decline In the ore reserves
and prospects Of the Stewart mine ane
the gradual falling of the stock and
earnings, the directors decided on tn
change in management.
''The Spokane office of the Stewar'
company will be closed on December

where the western headquarters OF
directors are now nearly all New York
men.

He tried to poison himself once. He said
he had too many troubles to make life

Later he came to know how unfortunate

Before leaving Russia for sayer Euro
psan fields the countess cast her bewitch-
ing and evil spells upon Prince Naumo6.
. Russian nobleman. This prince had
plenty Of money and that was sufficient
for the countess. He tagged after her too
almost a. insistently as Priluko6 for he
was madly In love with her. In few
months he had spent $4,000 on her and
his wife had secured divorce.
In the midst Of her travels the countess
happened to run across Count Kamarovsky,
an old acquaintance whom she had lost
track Of for .. long time. He ~ cap
tain Of the Cossack guards had gone to
the front IN the war against japan and
had been severely wounded. He bad
codes OF money and the countess needed
some badly. for her prince had about a.
hausted his immediate resources and
Prilukoff had been dead broke two years
or more.
The countess had learned that the
easiest and quickest way to get hold OF
mans money was to make him fall In
love with her. 1t was easy for her. She
was an adept at 1t. Kamarovsky proved
one of her easiest conquests. He had
wife at the time but she promptly sued for
divorce and simplified matters greatly by
dying before the case came up for trial
Then the count and the countess became
formally engaged.

the countess and her attorney had stTivsa
to save the count from the vengeance Of
his bloodthirsty rival The prince was to
journey to Vienna and kill the count In
his villa In Venice. PrilukoR preceded
him and posted couple Of detectives
near the villa. That would back up the
story he was to tell and did tell that the
countess had sent him from Vienna to
take precautions to insure the counts
safety because she had heard the jealous
prince utter threats against his life.
There was the letter to prove that the
prince really had threatened the counts
life At any suggestion that she had any
hand In the murder she was to appear
filled with scorn and indignation. What
ever the prince might say. the plotting
pair felt sure that they had covered up
their own tracks thoroughly.
It was part OF their scheme that the
detectives were to capture the prince a.

Prilukon and his two men were actually
In front OF the villa when the prince en-
tered. But he did not tell the detectives

prevented the murder. This was the first
thing that made the police doubt their

took lessons in shooting and In other
modes Of assassination. According to the
confession Of the countess the plan orig
inally arranged was that Prilukon should
take the same train by which the count
was to travel from Vienna to Venice. by

which the count had reserved for himself,
engage him in conversation, offer him q
drugged cigar and shoot him after 1t had
rendered him unconscious.
Il was brilliant but risky scheme. Az
