STUD PROSPECTOR
RENO, Nov., 14, (/P)—After 50 j
years of pegging away at shoes and j
shoe leather, Charles Middock, 72- j
year-old cobbler, C. Middock, 72
Pasadena, can retire in an afflu- ,
ence that comes in the day-dreams j
of poor shoemakers,, says a Pasa- j
dena dispatch to the Reno Gazette, j
Middock has been offered $400,- j
000 for 130 acres of Nevada mining j
claims, the report says, and is j
now somewhere in Nevada nego- j
tiating the deal.
It is one of those old ‘grub stake”
stories where the prospector found |
a great mine ‘just before his death j
and with the last remnant of i
strength left in has gnarled and
toil-worn hands, signed a will leav- ;
ing the property to his benefactor.
Middocks’ neighbors in Moor '
Park said that five years ago Mid j
dock loaned his friend, Sarkis Mar- ;
diros, a Nevada prospector, $5,000
to develop Mardiros’ mine. Mardiros j
died, leaving the property to Mid- j
dock in lieu of the cash. Mining
men, so Middocks’ neightbors say, |
told the aged cobbler that the j
claims were worthless.
So, the neighbors say, it was a
pleasant surprise to Middock when
he received a telegraphic offer from
Nevada of $400,000 for the property, j
He shut up his cobbler’s shop and
is now supposed to be in Nevada
selling the property. Mining men in
Reno do not know Middock and j
they do not know of any group of
i claims embracing1 130’ acres that
have become valuable overnight, j
Middocks’ neighbors knew few of
the details. Perhaps the claims are [
in Clark county and maybe they
are in Jarbidge district. They may
be in the heart of Death Valley or
1 on top of Mount Grant. Anyway, j
Middocks’ neighbors in Moor Park
are very happy over the good for- j
tune that has come to the old cob- j
bier.

THE INTI OF AUGUST
SCENE OF ACTIVITY
The publicity bureau of the Nor
wegian church of America under
date of October 8, Rev. M. E. Wal
I deland, director, of Northfield,
Minn., sends out the following
.about Eskimoland:
j “The month of August is a busy
| time for our missionaries in Alaska.
There are berries to be picked and
preserved for winter use. Tents are
pitched and the berry camp is a
busy place. Salmon berries are pre
served in a unique way; so-called
pokes, which are seal skins turned
hair in and sewed up to make bags,
are filled with berries and in this
manner they keep fresh all winter
Blueberries are put up in barrels
'without preservatives or cooking,
with sugar.
“At nearby camps the natives
fish salmon, as many as 150 a day,
and hang them on racks to dry.
Other prepare reindeer meat.
| “The matron of the mission sta
tion must prepare her order for
winter supplies very carefully, and
have it in the mail in the month
Suits pressed while you wait
at the Seward Steam Laundry
cleaning and pressing department.
of March. Then when the winter’s
supply arrives, in July, what a busy
and happy time for everyone. In
deed, the record of the day’s activi
ty at the mission station at this
season, might prove quite appalling
to anyone who was not willing to
do hard work.”
