Show BREYFOGLE MINE A PRODUCT OF WEVADfl Objection Raised When the Porcupincrs Try to Steal Some Thunder. When they resurrect tho Brcyrogtc mine In order lo boost Porcupine mines It is time to call a halt on tho sacrilege The lost Uroyfoglc mlno Is a historical matter beyond peradventure, and Nevada Is the only state in the Union that can lay claim lo the paternity of tho author. The property was supposed to exist in tho vicinity of Gold mountain, and. evon today, many of tho older prospectors toll of tho showings of gold that were forthcoming forth-coming from tho troas'ure trove on tho edgo of Death Valley, says tho Goldficld Tribune. , , . It was old Bill Broyfoglo, who flourished In the days of Candelarla, Aurora and Mark Twain, who established credit for owning a mine or fabulous wealth, lie was a sort, of an idle, useless character, who scorned wedded to the desert, and whoso movements always wero clothed In the utmost secrecy. Even his partners, who furnished tho grubstake, had no personal per-sonal cxporlenco or acquaintance with the conditions that obtained at the mint of Nature that was operated by tho singularly singu-larly dlstrustrul and shy Bill Breyfoglo. All anybody know was that a certain amount of very rich oro that fairly bristled with gold was tendered tho express ex-press companies at periodical Intervals. There was no disputing the fact that tho rich rock had its sonrce somewhere In Nevada, for tho man who operated tho property did not have any tlmo to venture ven-ture far beyond the radius of well-known mining camps before he roturncd with the high-grade that established tho reputation repu-tation that has survived to this day. That Breyfoglo was noncst goes without with-out parleying, but it Is doubtful if one-hair one-hair or tho stories predicated upon his pioneer adventure nave the slightest foundation in fact. Breyfoglo wan no myth so far as this state Is concerned. He was a real, substantial character, whoso movements can be traced to one certain definite point, which Is that of shipment. He had taic goods and ho marketed the same, but no one of his envious following could trace tho oro to tho source- Ho always inanascd to elude his trailers, but Invariably ho reappeared with the same bunch of rock that commanded com-manded almost the price of bullion at any store fringing the desert country. It Is Indecent to have the scene of old man Broyfogle's exploits transferred to tho northern country, under a forolgn flag, and relncarnatod for the benefit of tho tenderfoots of the Ontario camp. Breyfoglo is a Nevada product pure and simple, and no stale adventurer can steal tho credit rrom tho first man who made his stako on tho desert. Boston Mining Stocks. James A.
