"Piccadilly scarcely suffers from

He spoke as the three Of US arrived

been built under the lee Of the solid
rock. Nothing would find nourishment
in that salty, sandy waste save the
sparse, rank grasses and clumps Of
thornbush, and these rustled In the

song without mirth. The rock lifted

the hut. and on the further side Of it
looked down half thousand feet In
the heavy and oppressive air the
weighted and exhausted seas dropped
at the foot Of the abyss, and broke
with seething hiss in the twilight.
And then the cottage was not there!
Just a ruin Of 1t was left to show
us the scene Of the crime. One Of the
walls was standing. propped there by
a roof beam. Of which one end rested

level during the severe winter OF
1868. One year later more than
ninety companies. besides numerous
leasers. were working In the Waite
Pine district surrounding Hamilton.
At this time the population of this
silver city. Hamilton, was about
twelve thousand, and Treasure City
about six thousand. At the close Of
the year, 1878, the production from
these mines amounted to over eight
million dollars. The largest mass Of
silver ever found was taken out of
the old Eberhardt mine, a boulder
of horn silver weighing forty tons.
With the decline in the price of
silver in 1887 the mining in this
district developed into exploration
for the easily accessible ore bodies a.
the crude methods of milling and
prohibitive transportation charges.
burro trains then being the only fast
freight. made it impossible to handle
| anything but the pure silver.
The principal mining since the
great boom has been carried on BY
individuals who have made small
shipments of ore. enough to realize
comfortable income, but no great
amount of capital has been invested
in opening up new ground.
Since the new price of silver has
been established the ores from the
Hamilton mines have been In great
demand, owing to their desirability
for fluxing purposes. and have been
commanding a handsome royalty.
One of the remarkable features in
the history of Hamilton is that up
to the present time no capital other
than that taken from the mines has
been employed in its Development. In
spite of all the handicaps the dis
trict has had to contend with, Ham
| ilton has produced more than half
OF the lead ores mined in the state
of Nevada during the past fifteen
| years.

Thomas J. Lynch and associates,
representing Tonopah ana Divide
capital. have secured fourteen claims
in the Pocatello group located on
Treasure Hill. Hamilton, and will
begin active operations at once.
The property secured is known as
the Ward group of claims which has
been taken over by the Tonopah cap
italists for the consideration of
100000. This is the same proper
ty that the Tonopah Mining company
attempted to buy a short time ago
for 100000, but the offer was refus-
ed. Boston and Philadelphia cap
ital is backing the company repre-
sented by Thomas ]. Lynch. During
the week the engineers of the CON-
pany from Tonopah will arrive in
Hamilton to check up the property,
re-survey the claims and prepare for
the machinery which will be ship
ped from the east and erected on
the famous Treasure Hill.
In the year 1867. while silver was
enjoying the high price following the
civil war. the great discovery was
made In the mine known as the Hid
den Treasure on Treasure Hill at
Hamilton. This mine was discover
cd by an Indian called Napias-Jim,
who brought piece Of chlorite rock
to prospector. AL Leathers. who In
duced the Indian to disclose the To-
cation of the rich find. which was
afterwards called tie Hidden Treas
ure. The news of the remarkable
discovery precipitated meteoric ex.
element and resulted in the concen-
tration of thousands to Hamilton.
Within a short time the entire dis
trict swirled into one great boom,

Electric er.Catching Machine Is
Added to Sheriff's Con Collection

Information was received at the
sheriff's Office last Tuesday that a
counterfeiter was operating in the
city, carrying the money-making ma
chine along with him and producing
the queer in such quantities that
threatened an initiation panic.
Sheriff Enslow soon picked up the
trail of the suspected man and took
him into custody. When taken be-
fore the district attorney the sus-
pected man gave his name as Peter
Panos and said that he came from
Salt Lake City. He declared that he
was not making counterfeit money,
but was selling machine that was
credited with the power to make 1t.
Upon examination of the suit case
in the possession of Panos ma
chine about the size and appearance
Of small cash register was discov-
cred and the vender was directed to
demonstrate the operation of max
ing money.
Panos proceeded to make a few
greenbacks. First he took two five
dollar bills from his pocketbook, one
old and one new. and placed them
in a sheet OF oiled paper, folding the
paper over the bills. A small door
was then opened in the back of the
machine and the bills wrapped In the
paper were placed In the box. The
box or small compartment was then
pushed up into the upper part OF
the machine and q lower compart-
ment came into place by set screw
on the side OF the machine. The ma.
chine was then declared to be ready
for business. The operator then took
from q package a piece of paper cut
the size OF bill. laid 1t on an imita-
tion copper plate and dampened It
with liquid taken from several small
Walls containing various colored
water. The paper was then declared
to be ready to print the money. After
borrowing five dollar bill from
spectator. the operator placed the
bill over the damp paper, rolled 1t In
oil paper and placed It In the ex-
posed compartment of the machine
and closed the door.

The machine was then ready to
produce money. By pressing q
switch button on the side, a small
toy motor was started which could
be seen through glass slide In the
front of the machine. A light cord
was then attached to the light con-
nection from the wall of the sheriff's
Office, the juice switched on. which
caused the top of the machine to
heat up, owing to small coil placed
inside the machine which acted like
an electric motor. The toy motor In
the front was operated from a dry
battery. .
While the machine was heating
up and the toy motor running. max
Ing a noise to conceal the sound
made when the operator loosened the
set screw which held the sliding COM
partments in place. the two boxes In
closed in the machine changed posi-
tions--the top one falling In place
in front of the door and the bottom
one In which the bill and the pre-
pared paper had been placed falling
below the door inside the machine.
The machinery was then stopped,
the juice cut of and the door of the
machine opened. When the warmed
paper package was taken out, It con-
tained two five dollar bills. one old
and one new. This bill was given to
the unbeliever and he was told that
he could spend 1t without question.
The exact result OF the operation OF
the machine was exchanging q new
currency note for an old one. but the
object of the operator was to sell
the machine to the prospective coun-
terfeiter.
An expert who examined the ma
chine declared that the same opera
tion could be made to cover the dis
tillation of whiskey by the trick CON-
partments and In his opinion there
would have been q better field for
the sale of the machine and less
risk.
After communicating with the
federal authorities at Carson City
ranos was released by the sheriff and
the bunko machine confiscated.
