Man Who Imbibcd Too Heavily Gave

Ely. Nevada, July p--The romance
surrounding the life Of the miner
and prospector has frequently been
responsible for stories OF mines
which yielded fortunes In the pre-
cious metals and which suddenly
stopped production because OF loss OF
the ledge or vain carrying the values.
The BLACK Mule" mine In Spring
Valley. about IL miles from here, is
one Of these mines which gave up u
fortune after having been aban-
doned.
The fortune, however. was not In
a gold and silver. or other precious
metal. but in liquor-red liquor.
which now commands a price that Is

location OF the new strike"
These rumors reached the ears OF
Sheriff W. s, Snslow, and with sew
eral deputies he started on ''pros-
pecting' trip. The old workings OF
the "Black Mule" were explored and
from drifts. Slopes. tunnels. inclines
and levels from which the rich ore
had been exhausted were taken

Men who have tramped over the

Reports have It. that It was not a
genuine strike but only the ex-
ploitation of "salted" mine.

IMPENDING TRIAL
! UNNERVES BILL"
News Of Big Four's Decision Stops
His Wood Saving Temporarily,
He Regains SeIf-Control

Amerongen, July 9.-The former
German emperor displayed marked
irritation after reading the clause Of
the peace treaty in which the allies
announced their intention Of putting
him on trial on charges Of violation
of international morality and OF the
sanctity Of treaties. For several
hours after he had read the clause
no cne at the castle Of Amerongen
had the courage to approach him. He
sat In a chair before the main en-
trance to the castle entirely alone
and apparently In deep thought while
the former empress, Auguste Vic
toria, and the members of his suite
walked in the grounds occasionally
glancing in his direction.
Next day ne seemed to be in a
state OF nervous agitation, for he
frequently ceased his saving and
walked away leaving those who as
sisted him to continue the work
alone. Later, however, he resumed
with increased energy, so much so
that one Of HIS assistants was forced
to take TO his bed for some days in
order to recover from a chill caught
while persplring at the other end OF
the saw.
Subsequently the dull life at the
castle resumed its ordinary dullness
and since the first display Of annoy
ance Count Hohenzollern has shown
few signs Of being much affected by
the conditions of the peace treaty.
The former emperor has sawn his
s,000th log and it is asserted by
some OF his retainers that he in,
tends to bring the number up tc
10000. The logs which now form {
large heap are placed in piles to dry
in preparation for use as fuel in the
castle next winter.
