While il may contain some in
accuracies of detail, the following
story. written by Horace c. Baker
for the New York Copper, Curb and
Mining Outlook, is of interest here,
in setting forth the adventures and
~tribulations of two men who are
among the most widely known pio-
neer citizens of the camp. Mr..
Bakers story follows:
Rich stories have been told and
written about the way assessments
we're levied in the glorious days of
the Comstock, when directors werU
reviled for freezing out stockhold-
ers through abuse of their preroga-
tive, but Tonopah seldom refers to
the one big assessment levied in
that camp, where one-cent levies
are the accepted order.
The story carries in its train a
quartet of attachments that have
rarely, if ever, been duplicated.
While the devotion of Lockhart
and Parker, after the location OF
lilt IollODdh EAtCllolOh, was lauuCu
another friendship was weaving it's
silken mesh to bind others in the
bonds of brotherly love at the OPP
posite end of the camp. This was
in the infancy of Tonopah, when
the fame of the Mizpah was arous
ing the wanderlust of Adventures
throughout the country and every
mining camp from Nome to Nova
Scotia thrilled with unrest en-
gendered by the fact that every day
ems of thousands of dollars were
picked right off the surface of the
Tonopah mountains. Then the
mountaineers of California came
dawdling along in wagons, but the
miners, promoters and capitalists
of Utah came charging in like 4

ing everything before them.
This brings the dramatic princi-
pals on the scene.
James F. Bradley, afterward for
many terms sheriff of Esmeralda Co
who drilled his way to political
prominence from the mines of Mer
cur, played the stellar role. He To-
Gated the famous Halifax group of
four claims. Very few old timers
know that, but it is "a fact, and
Brad was entitled to a hand
some stake for his foresight. AS a
matter of fact, he never received a
cent. But that's where the friend
ship story comes in.
Ike Mckay, the whole-souled
ruddy-faced Boniface of Goldfieldt

sboulder to shoulder, fighting for
position. always edging a tribe Tor
ward. never yielding an inch, re-
morseless in their enmities, studying
Iawing and struggling for the upper
hold on their adversaries. BY SUI
perb team work they beat down all
opposition. Quick to realize the
smallest advantage, they stood to-
gether against all corners, openly
defying dislodgement n
at the puerile efforts OF opponents
tn outwit them or Illustrate tne'r
plans. Such ~ the real pleas IRE
of living. Combat was soothing TO
their superhuman aggression. BY
sheer force of personality they carS-
ed their way to fame and fortune
through a massive virility that
would brook no opposition.
Ike McKay's return to the mines
in 1898 was superinduced by the
panic following the closing OF the
units of India. This order in III
Gil knocked the worm-eaten props
from under Nevada, and the poor
old state trembled in the shades o
bankruptcy that led some cruel
hearted congressman to suggest a
bill to annex Nevada back to Utan
to save taxpayers from complete eA-
tinction. Ike had saved a nest egg
which he invested in a cafe at Og-
den hat faded away in the panic.
The old Comstocker stuffed $75O
in his leans and moved down to his
old bailiwick in Park City.
Keith had a soft spot in his heart
for his old mate, and when Tono-
nah was discovered commissioned
him to visit the camp and buy Il
mine. That is how the Hal1IaA
title passed over into Utah.
Bradley entered politics and was
elected sheriff of Esmeralda county
when the fee system obtained. ana
through judicious investments, ne
amassed a competence.
Ike Mckay was appointed under
sheriff and administered the office
to the satisfaction of all concerned.
Cap Bradley suffered from the
shrinkage of mining investments
and the collapse of the Hornsilver
boom, but he vas always able to
hold up his head with dignity n
look his fellow-men %squarely in the
eve. If Bradley or Ike had a sim
gle crust of bread they would have
divided it, for what n man a
the other was welcome to.

PLACER FIELDS
YIELD TUNGSTEN
DRY WASHING MAY PROVE EF-
FECTIVE IN RECOVERING
PRECIOUS MINERAL

From present indications the
placer mining of hubernite and
scheelite ores along the Snake
range of mountains will soon de-
velop into tremendous proportions.
The work of sluicing has already
commenced, but this will be limited
to sections where water can be Sc
cured. 1t is probable that placer
fields exist wherever the metal is
found, as has been the case at Ato-
liza and in Colorado, which is caus-
ed by the eroding of vein matter
for many centuries. In Burma and
other sections, the principal supply
is secured by placer mining. For
tunately in this section the leads
are easily discovered, and here
fore quartz mining now has the
call. but undoubtedly the larger
product will soon come from
placers. In this connection it
might be we'll for prospectors and
others who are interested to care
fully investigate dry washing ma
chines, which have long been OPP
Grated successfully along the Colo
RADIO river in recovering gold values
where water could not be secured.
For the past 40 or 80 years a large
number of old desert rats have
always made a living by this pro-
cess. and the impression prevails
in that section that the dry wash
err can be as successfully operated
as any other method of separating
values from alluvial soil. AS the
specific gravity of all kinds of
tungsten metals is far greater than
tat of quartz or country rock.
there can be no reasonable doubt
that it can be saved by the dry
washer as readily as by the wet
process. Anyhow, the matter is
certainly worth a fair trial, and If
found successful it would open a
wide field for dry placer work all
along the Snake range.-Ely Rec
ord.

Wanted Too Much

A divorce case heard in the
Reno court, in which a motion
for alimony was made, brought out
testimony to the effect that after
three weeks of married life the
demands of the wife in the case for
an automobile and innumerable 9TH
er expensive luxuries became SO in
sistent that the man in the case
had to seek safety for his pocket
book in the divorce court. The
Judge heading the case took the
motion for alimony under advise
ment.

in the hole, and a right bower that
was always ready to spring forth
at his command. Ike and Brad be-
came inseparable, and for the last
Is years they have toiled and moil-
ed, each sharing with the other
while drinking to the dregs bitter
adversely or indulging in the opu-
lence of prosperity.
Blended so intimately with the
experience of these two hardy pros
p%ectors is the story of another
comaradie that carries one away
from the bleak, grey barrens OF
southern Nevada to the sybarite ex-
istence of two Salt Lake palaces
where David Keith and Thomas
kearns enjoy their millions in
marble-lined magnificence. Keith
and Kearns worked side by side
with Bradley and Mckay, but fate
crossed their paths with d~iverging
lines. leaving for two only the bit
terness of disappointed hopes and
thwarted ambition, but eve i'm
pairing the happiness of the pair
of miners who linger on the desert
for the last call to ashen their fea-
lures and lay their WORKOUT bodies
at rest in the soil which denied
them the millions which it shower
ed so lavishly or others.
Captain Bradley floated in
from Utah in the fall of 1901 and
took a job on the Lynch-O'Meara
lease on the Mizpah, which was
yielding bountifully. Bradley lost
no time in studying the formation
and quickly decided hat the strike
of the Mizpah carried the ore
through the mountain under the
rhyolite Gaping. The whole east
ern side of the district was open
ground, and Bradley could just as
we'll have monumented the Mizpah
Extension, the Buckeye, Rescue or
any other territory over there, but
the Halifax location looked good,
and he laid out four claims accord

chap with a merry CLEAN in his

The stranger introduced himself as

and soon learned that the locator
also hailed from the Mormon COM
monwealth. A spontaneous friend

like. Each man took the others

away down in his inner conscience
decided that the other had all the
makeup of a real man and a re-
liable partner.

thing in camp. If we can get to-
gether on the price | reckon we can
do business. You know Keith and
Kearns. Well, they are backing me,
but they are not going to pay any
fancy price for a naked prospect"
Bradley knew Keith and Kearns,
and also knew they had money to
burn, but he was no hog, and all
he looked for was a chance for the
Halifax to make good. He was will
ling to let his money stay in tbs
ground until the millionaires took It
out, and said so.
He was willing, and a crude form
of contract was outlined. A COM
pany with a capitalization of $780,
600 was proposed. Bradley was 20

900, according to the terms of his
grubstake. which gave him 500 a
month and Is per cent of what he
found. Keith and Kearns visited
Tonopah, ratified the terms of the
compact, organized a company and
began to sink the old shaft on the
Halifax No. 1 at the eastern end oil
the estate.
The site was chosen by Mckay,
and the hole was put down $50 feet,
when water prevented further sink
ing without mourning heavy expense
for pumps. There was no sign nj
ore, but the boys had faith, and on
the strength of that faith would
have pushed through to China.
The Belmont had struck high
grade in the meantime, and the
eastern end of the district was
ablaze with excitement. You

never dreamed would vanish over
night.
One evening the blow came with
staggering force that shattered faith
in humanity and dried up the

THE TWO PLATFORMS

Observers have already noted the similarity that exists
in the platforms adopted Chicago This indicates be-
yond peradventue that the two parties give adherence
political results In neither of the platforms is there
to be found paragraph radically opposed any
graph the other in each of them the animating
spirit apparent in many of their declarations the Ian
guage practically the same and in is there
veyed trace of animosity toward any of the policies
which the other proclaims devotion.
The New York Sun in comparing the two platforms
says:
Their authors hold the economic theories and
possess the civic ambitions The differences that
divide them must be sought matters of intellectual
conviction, but in other influence perhaps less
powerful in its authority but which should be easily
susceptible of adjustment.
