Show DOING WELL IN NEVADA. Con Driscoll, Old-timer of Bingham Has Things Coming His Way. Con Driscoll, the old-time Bingham mining man, who has spent the past year or so at Tonopah, is said to be on the high road to wealth. To make money seems to be the easiest trick in the world with Con these days, M. J. O'Meara being responsible for the statement that the popular old-timer cleaned up in the neighborhood of $50,-000 $50,-000 since he went into the camp. "Just to illustrate how things have been - coming his way,"., said ' Mr. O'Meara, "I need only , mention how he got into our pockets through some claims which he had located at Lone Mountain. After we acquired the ground . embraced in the Alpine group we found it necessary to do some grading grad-ing for a donkey trail over ground in which Driscoll was Interested. In doing this work, the men uncovered some fine ore, and we. decided the best thing to do was to buy the ground. In that transaction - Driscoll pulled 1 down some $6,000. He has been doing just such tricks as that ever since he went to Tonopah, and I am sure his numerous friends here and in Bingham Bing-ham will be pleased to learn that Dame Fortune has been treating him so kindly since he went into the Sagebrush Sage-brush state." |
