richest ground ever found on Lib
by creek.
Neff & Plummer, two merchants
of Libby, told me that they had
cashed somewhere near 5000 for
Eberly alone; while John P. Wall,
another merchant, had cashed an
equal amount. This was only a part
of the dust takings from these
claims.
When the gold rush was on in
Alaska, Fosom and another miner
BY the name of Doc Howard left
for that place, where they remained
almost year. They left Eberly
alone at the claims where he worked
along to suit himself.
Ben Thomas went up to call on
Eberly one night but did not find
him there. Nevertheless, he stayed
there for the night and the next
morning went to Lew Getner's camp
to tell Lew that Eberly was gone
and the dog was locked in.the cabin,
and that he thought Lew had better
look into it.
Lew did not think much about
this, but later in the day he walked
up to Eberly's cabin, where he
found the dog still shut in the
house. Looking around for some sign
of Eberly, but seeing none, he took
the dog home with him, thinking
perhaps Eberly had gone to town
and would be back the next day.
And still, Lew thought it strange
that Eberly would pass by his
house without stopping, as he and
Lew were very good friends. An
other thing which seemed queer to
Lew, was for Eberly to leave his
dog, as they were always together.
After a week had passed, and
Eberly had not appeared, Lew
again went to his cabin to see if he
had returned, but there was no sign
of him. Lew then discovered that
Eberly had left in his working
clothes as his good ones were still
hanging on the wall. It was then
that Lew decided to go to town
and see what had become of Eberly.
On arriving at Libby. Lew was told
that Eberly had not been in town
for over month, so he reported
him missing. Then someone said
Eberly had gone to Thompson Falls,
but upon inquiry. It was learned
Eberly hadn't been in the Falls,
where he was well acquainted, for
over year.
Time went on until Fosom came
back from Alaska and was told that
Eberly was missing. Fosom went up
to the cabin, but could find no
trace of him, SO made up his mind
that Eberly was gone for good.
As Eberly and | were very good
friends, made some inquiries

Mrs. Albert Sabath's fourth larg-

cided to start him here after ex-
amining both fields, was confident
the son of Good Goods had returned
to the form which enabled him to
defeat Whirlaway twice last year.
