profits with machinery, but the pros
pectors of that country have continued i
to hunt for the richer ground.
"Owing to liie fact tnat tin* country
is wild and a long way from any settle
ments. the min* *s have simply passed
up good ground in the search for the
big strike. Whenever they needl'd a
grub-stake they would work some of
that ground lor several months and
take out enough to provide supplies for
two years and then continue to pros
pect for richer claims.
"Last winter a number of the miners
at Nolan creek agreed to give 300 feet
each off their claims to the man who
would sink to bedrock or to the pay
streak on his ciaim. This proposition
was accepted by a man by the name of
Olson and his partners. He was a
lucky Swede and struck pay at a depth
of 150 feet. There will be a big rush
into the Koyukuk country this sum
mer. All of the owners of claims on
Nolan creek are sinking shafts to bed
rock and reports of further rich strikes
may be received at any time.”P.-I.

Rawhide Mas Idle Men
James Moore, a raiuing man of this
city, has just returned from Rawhide,
Nevada, and reports that there are
2,500 men in the camp out of employ
ment and unable to get out of the dis
trict.
According to the statement of Mr.
Moore the Rawhide camp is very
much over estimated, and the rush of
goldseekers lias tilled the district with
miners. Me says there are about 7,000
people in the camp now, but that many
are leaving every day and the excite
ment that followed the first strikes has
abated.
Some of the properties, Mr. Moore
says, are being worked in earnest and
some good mines will probably be the
! result.- P.-I.

Spirits Find missing Will
Bowling Green, Ohio—Revelations at
I a spiritualistic seance were responsi
ble for a suit in Common Pleas Court
\ brought by Catherine Sebastain, grand
daughter of Ethan Pernber, for the
■ recovery of eighty acres of land from
various persons at Pemberville, upon
which a portion of the village now
stands. *
Ethan Pernber died many years ago
and this land has changed hands a
number of times since. Recently the
hiding place of a will long suspected of
having existed was revealed at a
spiritual seance.
The will gives the property to
descendants whose ownership would
have transferred it to the plaintiff in
this case.
