heavily armed and fierce mustched
fellows were our mild and peacabic

The Progressive-Miner 7Hc. per mo.
IN THE MINING WORLD
CINNABAR DEPOSITS DISCOVERED
'BY ACCIDENT
Two stray steers caused the discov
ery ol' a deposit of cinabar in the
Pilot Mountain, western Nevada. On
the day of the discovery Thomas Pep
per and Charles Keougli lmd been
tracking the two steers, when, near
nightfall the trail led over an old
prospect in which a face of limestone
was exposed. The rod mineral was
recognized by Keough as oonnabar.
After finding the steers and taking
them to Mina the two discoverers re
turned to Cinnabar Mountain, as the
hill on which they had made the find
.has since been named, where they
spent 10 days in careful search ami
located 7 claims. They later went
back to Mina and made known their
find, causing intense excitement and
that afternoon almost every citizen
of the town left for the site of the
discoverv by automobile and by other
less expeditious conveyances. A large
number of claims were staked by the
first comers and many more we'e
afterward staked by claimants from
Tonopnh.
The discovery was widely heralded
as the rediscovery of (he “lost Ha
tborne quicksilver mine,” named for
Judge Hawthorne, in whose honor, it
is said, Hawthorne, the seat of Min
eral County was named. According
to local report in the seventies Judge
Hawthorne discovered a rich quick
silver deposit, which is believed to
have boon sitnat-ed at the site of the
recent discoveries. In returning from
the mountains, so il is said, TT?\w
tlmmo lost liis bearings, and although
to the end of his life he attempted an
nually to find the “quicksilver mine”
he remained unsuccessful. This tra
dition seems highly improbable. The
original dmcoverers—who he was is
unknown—had done some very sub
stantial work on the prospect. In liis
efforts to preve his find he had blast
od out a considerable mass of solid
limestone, and as further tokens of his
activity sticks of powder, fuse, and
picks lay abandoned at the prospect.
That I his energetic prospector lost his
why and was unable to find tho pros
pect at which he had labored is not
eeasily credible. It is more likely that
he abandoned the prospect as, in his
judgement, not sufficiently valuable.
The newcomers have found consider
ably richer deposits than the unknown
pioneer did, and have shown that the
ional ar extends along a considerable
belt,
i he cpiiehsilver deposits on tho
claims of Pepper and Keough as well
as those in the rest of the district are
described in Bulletin G20-D, “Homo
Cinnabar Deposits in Western Ne
vada,” by Adolph Knopf, Geological’
Survey. A copy may be had free on

TOWN OF DALLAS SHOWERED
WITH TINY FROGS
Millions Fall Upon Ground
Apparently Stunned
M’KINNKY, Texas. Oct. 2—A resi
dent of this city who happened to he
visiting a friend in Dallas during a
downpour of rain, stated upon tils re
turn here that during the storm mill
ions of frogs no larger than match
beads had fallen there. When the rain
had stopped citizens of Dallas noticed
countless numbers of these tiny frogs
in the streets on sidewalks, in yards
and on porches. The ground was lit
terally covered.
Most of them seemed stunned and
could not move from under foot, and
trampled by pedestrains. The
frogs, all the same size, seemed to have
come from nowhere. Some hardy poi
sons went so far, however, to say that
they had seen them falling, but they .
refused to be quoted. In a few hours
the frogs had revived sufficiently to
bother barefooted “kiddies” who
were out for their noon-liour romp.
“Gee, they are so squashy,” said
one little girl, who had felt the sen
sation of slopping oil them.
