The charge for Nenanaites will

ABANDONED MINE
YIELDS FORTUNE
ELY, Nevada.—The romance sur
roundi*g the life of the miner and
prospector has frequently been re
sponsible for stories of mines which
yielded fortunes in precious metals
and which suddenly stopped pro
duction because of the loss of the
ledge or vein carrying the values.
The “Black Mule” mine, in Spring
Valley, about twelve miles from
here, is one of these mines which
gave up a fortune after having been
abandoned.
The fortune, however, was not in
gold or silver or other precious
metal, but in liquor—red liquor—
which now commands a price that
is fast approaching the figure—per
ton rate—that “high grade” used
to command in Nevada’s early min
ing camp history.
The "Black Mule” was a producer
of rich ore in the early days of
White Pine county mining activi
ties. Every rich stope and drift
was worked out, however, and the
shaft had been boarded up for
years. A man, said to be a resi
dent of Ely, recently imbibed too
much, and as a result talked too
much. Like the rumors of a ipin
ing “strike,” the talk spread, and
with it the “values” that were ru
mored. Then came rumors of the
location of the new “strike.”
These rumors reached the ears
of Sheriff W. S. Enslow, and with
several deputies he started on a
“prospecting” trip. The old work
ings of the “Black Mule” were ex
plored, and from drifts, stopes, tun
nels, inclines and levels from which
the rich ores had been exhausted
were taken something like 400 cases
of whisky. Further explorations re
sulted in the location of 2,000 pint
bottles of whisky hidden around the
grass roots in the immediate vicin
ity.
The “strike” in the mine is said
to have netted something like $40,
000—“bootleg” values—but it has
not caused a stampede, as such a
find would have done a few years
ago. Men who have tramped over
the same ground without finding
even a “color” have not even ap
proached the scene of the new
“strike.” They seem to not desire
to show any familiarity with the
section.
Reports have it that it was not
a genuine “strike,” but only the ex
ploitation of a “salted” mine.
