Then, as now, however, she was masterful and She held up the first prosperous looking man she met and told him point blank that she needed $300 and wanted it at once. He didn't have a chance to get In a' word of remonstrance. Without stopping to take breath, she showed him what a good Investment it would be, how sure he enough to the desert vu to get his money back, convinced him that she was a woman to be treated, and wound up by getting the cuh, with almost as much as If she had put a pistol to certainly his head and made him throw up his hands, while she went through his pockets. Al but, thats the way he described it afterward. Be that aa It may, the nuey was repaid even sooner than the man expected, and he never regretted making that unthought-o- f loan. .

She la also Interested In mines in the Bullfrog district, seventy-fiv- e miles south of Goldfield. Another unique character in the camp is the Rev. II. W. Knlckerbockei . a former Methodist clergyman, who resigned his charge In Los Angeles and came here to win a fortune. There Is something sensational In the manner in which he gave up hla preaching. There had long been some doubt In his mind as to some of the teachings In the book. One Sunday morning he broke down In the middle of his sermon anJ left the pulpit. To the vestrymen of his church he said: You will have to get another mliil-teI cannot believe what I am preaching. I have made up my mind. I will never go into a pulpit again as long as I live. And he has kept his word. Ilia nearest approach to preaching Las been the delivery of eulogies at the funerals of friends he has made since he came here. It was on September IV. 1108, that the dominie reached Goldfield. He was as flat broke as a man could possibly be, but be had the savvy that would find him friends and the means of subsistence until he got on his feet. He borrowed money from time to time to keep him going, and at last took a Job in the Red Top mine, working on the surface. He was a shining example for every man on the Job, going at his work with a vigor that far outstripped those around him. He had made up his mind to get a knowledge of the practical side of mining, but when he had worked a month of thirty days at 14 a day, he took hi $120 and decided there were better fields for his endeavor. Before going to work on the Red Top, Knickerbocker had located several claims, with nothing more than a hasy Idea that by chance they might prove valuable. Out of his $120, he paid his debts and then started, to do the assessment work demanded by law for the full establishment of his claims. He made a little sale of one of these and from that time he kept going forward until today he is worth about 1250,000. Knickerbocker, as the name implies, Is of Dulch descent and in him theie must be much of the shrewdness and sober business ability of those old Flemish burghers that once dominated the trade of the world. He buys and sells claims outright. Since coming to the camp he has incorporated but one concern, the Gold Hill Mining company. He sold 210,000 shares of stoca In two hours on the streets of Goldfield, which shows how well men thins of him in the town. In addition to the many claims which he has sold, he now owns upwards of eighty others In the district. He is constantly on the lookout, and when he sees a good piece of ground for sale, he immediately buys it, and has It in readiness for the next good customer. In hla affairs there Is no middleman. He owns the claims outright and aells them outright. Knickerbocker is now about 15 years old. He has a wife and five children In Los Angeles, and since he has been in Goldfield has put 1100,000 to his wife's credit In the Los Angeles banks. He has a working capital ot $60,000 on hand all the time, and therefore gets bargains where others fail in the rendy money market. R. L. Colburn is another man on whom Dame Fortune has smiled since his arrival. He came here at the same time as the Rev. Mr. Knickerbocker, and they have been friends ever since. Colburn makes no bones in telling how hard-u- p he was when he left Salt Lake City to come to Goldfield. three-quurte- and ' I aaaj ifyouSoat libit rs r, single-hande- d. I was down and out. lie said. My bankers In Salt Lake were T. R. Jones & Co., and when they went broke. I went with them. The securities that 1 had left depreciated In value, until I found myself $17,000 in debt to Sail Lake bankers. But I still had a diamond ring and managed to borrow $11J on It That brought me to Goldfield. If Colburn had no money, he at least had vim and vigor, and what was better still, a knowledge of mines ami mining. Luck was with him from the outset He began by locating claims all over the district. He had them near the Black Butte and QuartsiL mines at one end of the golden horseshoe that marks the outline of the Goldfield mining country; he had them on Columbia mountain, at the end of the horseshoe; and he still had others near the Dixie, at the other end. He staked them out and did all the assessment work himself. Some of them he sold for little or nothing, and these have since become worth millions. But thats part of the chance a bankrupt man has to take In a mining camp. One cannot get away from the story of Colburn without a word about Charlie" Taylor, one of the millionaires Goldfield' has already made. This Is Colburn's version of their first ae qualntunce: I was out on Lone mountain looking after a piece of property for people in Salt Lake City. We had camped, nno while there two men came up and wanted to pitch their bunks with us. We had no room In the tent, but told they they could put their bed at the side to shelter them from the wind. Chnrlle They were Taylor and George McClelland, now the owners of the rich Jumbo mine. Sometime later, while coming In from that section with a mule team. I overtook a man plodding along the dusty road with a pack on his back. He had been to Cloverdale, and on his return his horse had broken down. To save his own life he had started to walk in. It was Taylor and I helped him into camp. When I next met him he was going to prospect nut in the Grandpa district and said; All I need Is $50 to buy grub. If you let me hnve It. I will rive you half of all I get.' As a matter of fact, I didn't have the money. He managed to get It elsewhere. If I had been able to slake UTAH STATE him then I would have had an Interest In tlie Jumto today worth a million. There was a little lurk for me after When I met Taylor that, however. iKuin he had located his claims, but li.nl imt h id them surveyed because he lid not have tbe ready money. I said 1 uiid my Mirtner would survey them fur an interest. He Jumped at the proposition and we surveyed all the claims of the' great Juinho group. Meantime we prospected over tlie ground to see what part we could take for ours, atnl we selected the Red Top. fur which he had puid only $35. W'c took half of that claim In payment for the surveying, and I guess we couid have had the whole of it for the asking. I got 100.000 shares for iny part when the company was incorporated and the same amount went to each of my partners. As Red Top is now selling at 42 cents a share, and I believe it will soon be selling at $1 per share, 1 think we were pretty well paid for our But I still regret work, weren't we? that $50 and the Jumbo.
