Brown at the home Of his daughter
In New York. Rugged. hard boiled
Jim Brown. like the kings of the
Comtock was q native of Ireland.
Gifted with the sanguine tempera-
ment of his race he was a natural OPP
timist, his mercurial temperament
rising above the ordinary depressions
and mastering misfortune. In part
nership with John +. Campion, a
mining engineer of the same Celtic
stock, he had a lease on the hex,
better known as the Little Jonny,
spelled without the "h," as estab-
lished by the United States court. The
johnny was one of the hoodoos of the
Leadville district. Eight different set
of lessees had gone broke seeking the
fortune which Knocked them at every
turn. These men were mining for
silver carbonates. They failed be-
cause their capital ran out. Then
came Brown and Campion, whose
persuasive Milesian speech induced
the Carbonate National bank to
pledge $4,000 on the prospect of
solving the enigma of the johnny.
Hunter and Trimble. owners of the
bank, said they were simply talked
into making the loan against their
better judgment and actually they
had arranged to protect the bank for
the full amount out of their private
fortunes. OF this amount $4,000
was absorbed by the johnny without
improving the prospect of getting ore.
Then came the day when indigo
clouds enveloped the Centennial
State, known at that time as the Sill
yer State. The minis of India closed
their doors to the coinage of silver.
This was in 1898. Twenty thousand
miners lost their jobs. Every mine
in the State closed down. The OUT
look was as hopeless as could be i'm
agined. Silver dropepd from coin
age value to IS cents an ounce. Min
ers bereft of their earning capacity
poured down out of the mountains to
Denver and Pueblo where they be-
came public charges until they were

Thirteen banks In Denver closed their

the thrifty were swept away in the
flood of bankruptcy. 1t appeared
that nothing could withstand the de-
LUCE of reverses. 1t was the darkest
day in the history of Colorado and
Nevada, wrecking the hopes of a
score of prosperous mining camps in
the sagebrush State and erecting
ghost cities on the selvedge of the
desert, ex%tinguishing the bright lights
and hushing the dance halls. Silver
mining fell into desuetude and the
silver producing States were envel-
oped in gloom Of the deepest dye.
Brown and Campion were the only
ones in Leadville remaining at work.
Their grubstake was nearing exhaus-
ton and the bank notified them that
not another dollar would be ad-
vanced. The johnny leasers were des-
perate. Campion pleaded with the

mer wielder declared the bank must
come through. The bankers remained
adamant. Then Brown played his
trump card. Remember the banks of

courts could appoint receivers.
Brown. finding that wheedling and
coaxing were wasted, changed his
tone. He threatened. He asked
Hunter and Trimble IL they wanted
him to go out on the sidewalk and
tell depositors hat the bank had
sunk $4,000 in the johnny. II the
bank gave $4,000 more he would not
say a word. The money was forth
coming. Ten days later a miracle
was wrought. The johnny turned to
gold, the yellow metal hat was
cursed by every Colorado miner. the
metal which the world was craving,
the metal that meant affiuence and a
surcease of labor, the standard of
world values that could not be de-
monetized. The gold was there in
unheard of quantities. Brown and
Campion were translated with n
round of holes from beggars grovel-

freak of geology that might disap-
pear with the next shot. 1t was a
true assure vein. The first year the
johnny yielded over 100000 and
in two years the mine disgorged $751;

Brown and Campion did what every
other successful mining ma did since

they built palaces and lived happily

Hundreds of miners now of Ne

memory of Jim Brown, the Cloud
City millionaire, who never forgot
the days when he swung the double
jack or the men who shared his pri-
vations when he was driving for the
pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

EARTH OLDER THAN SUN IS THEORY OF
 LONDON SCIENTIST

London, Nov. 3.-That the earth is
 (By International News Service.) older than the present structure of the universe, as now constituted, is the theory held by Professor A. W. Bickerton, the originator of the theory of the birth of stellar system and the writer of innumerable books about the third bodies" born in space by graz ing impacts.
 Lecturing before the Royal Botani- cal Society, he said that he was strong ly inclined to believe that the earth was much older than the sun and much older than the present structure of the universe.
 ''In my opinion" said Professor Bfckerton, the sun originated in collision between two other previously existing bodies, one of which had an enormous number of meteors, planets and other bodies revolving around it. I think that sunspots are probably caused by meteors striking the sur face of the sum-"

NORWAY ADOPTS

quor smuggling into Norway. in vio- lation of the prohibition laws, has increased recently. at such a rapid rate that governme mt officials are finding the work of suppression most difficult.
 Smuggling on a large scale is go- ing on all along the coast, the thou ing ideal hiding places and operating bases for the illegal traffic The eff forts. Of the smugglers seem to be concentrated about the inlet of the Hshed . real market place at the outskirts of the three-mile limit, swarming with German and Danish liquor smuggling vessels
 A Norwegian law now allows rev eenue officials to search and bring in suspicious vessels as far out as ten miles from the coast. This extension of the control district, however. has work of the officials

They are in constant wireless conn with the shore, and are thus able to choose the right moment for dash to the beach.
 The most serious handicap the gov ernment has to contend with is the coast population itself which coop crates in more than one way with the rum ?runners.
 A patrol steamer equipped with two guns has been put into operation by the revenue officers, but the speedy boats of the SnuSglers are out of reach Der e damage can be done to them.
 At the recent annual meeting of the organization of revenue officials resolution was passed saying it was impossible to stop rum-running in Norway, even if the officials were on duty day and night and the govern ment appropriated twenty times as much money for the work as is now available.

 HARMLESS ONE?
Post Office Department Says When Less Than Twenty Inches Long.

There are many folks who still believe a youngster is playful pet that can be kept in the parlor a chum for the baby; but one who has had even the

 firm in his belief that its best to leave

 ever, has decided that while under twenty inches overall length, the baby saurian is harmless. So are baby chicks soft shelled crabs, blood worm and chameleons.
 One may feel confident the blood worm can be fondled with ease and without fear of danger, and still have his doubts also in regard to baby terrapins, but the latter also are classed by the Department as harm less.
 This classification has been made by the Department for the ease of clients have sought to make of their offices near-menageries. The mail ability of live mail matter" is still a hay question among the general ana even many post masters, the Department declares, so to clear up the matter, circular has been prepared to settle the question.
 For more than a year live fowls and domestic animals were acceptable for mailing under ruling which pre- scribed their handling only when the complete journey was made by motor trucks, but this ruling was revoked more than year ago. Another ap- plying to the insurance and c. O. D. privileges of such shipments was not modified, under which regulation a few shipments of live fowls and do- mestic animals have been accepted by postmasters.
 Only small live animals having no offensive odor and requiring no food or water in transit" such as the fero- cious animals mentioned, and their like, may be sent in the mails and in- sured against loss. Alligators up to 20 inches are included in the list.

High Rents Still
 Rule In Washington

Washington, Nov. 3.-(A.PD-For many months even before the late war. Washingtonians were told the reason for the skyrocketing rents for houses and apartments was the short age of housing facilities. Where de- mand exceeds the supply, realtors said. the price of the supply will mount.
 Washington rents are still high and the shortage is still held up as the reason.
 But There were s.4ss vacant houses. apartments and flats in Wash ington in July of this year." accord ing to a recent survey of engineers of the local telephone ccmpany "Of this total. 2,279 were houses, 7OS were apartments and 496 were classified as flats"
 The survey was made to estimate the amount Of the company's business in coming years. It resulted in the declaration by the engineers that since LIT a decreasing number of families are living in houses. as we'll as decreasing number residing in apartments. Because of high prices, evidently, tho survey showed that more persons have had to resort tu flats" rooming houses and light housekeeping establishme ents.
