NEBRASKA NEeRo's LUCK.
Took Mining Stock for Board Bill and
Sold for $50 a Share.
(Salt Lake Mining Review

(Salt Lake Mining Review
! There is an old darby living in Lin
coin, Neb, who is in clover as a re-
suit of the bonanza copper find in the
United Verde Extension property at
Jerome, Ariz. And he is having a
good laugh at the expense of some of
the wise white folks of the town, fam
Gus as the home of "the silver tongued
orator of the Platte" A stock sales
man from the Verde district was in
Lincoln few years ago when that
section was not as prosperous as it Is
today. The salesman was selling
stock in a company which owned the
Little Daisy property at Jerome. 1t
was a rank prospect in those days and
the salesman was not meeting with
much luck in disposing of his certifi-
Gates. In fact he was up against it
SO hard financially that he did not
have enough money for his hot cakes
in the morning. The old darby had a
small restaurant and he was about
the only person in town who would
take the salesman's stock in exchange
for board He was laughed at when
lit became known that he had taken
the Jerome copper stock in lieu of the
money, but now this gentleman of
color is riding about in his autome-
bile, is sporting real diamonds and is
the big noise" in colored society in
Lincoln. He is reported to have sold
his 1000 shares of United Verde Ex-
tension stock a couple of months ago
at better than $50 per share.
