$0)1 E MIXING STORIES. gUEEE tales about mine plac ing AND MINE SELLING. 0 !d Tom John’s Exploits-Claims Lo cated Under Perpetual Snows A Newly Organized Swindle-Tricks of Dishonest Miners. •kilt'd- (Cos/.) Utter to the St. Louis Globe- Democrat. The ride from Kansas City to Denver is the dullest, dustiest, hottest and most tire some. at this time of the year, that it is pos sible to imagine. The distance is <Ws> miles by the Union Pacific, and civilization is strung out so thinly and at such wide inter vals that the trip has a desert flavor, and with the thermometer ranging from 90” to 100”, and with the cars crowded to the last platform of the train, there is little comfort and less enjoyment in it than in anything else that I know of. But the journey was, to an appreciable degree, enlivened by some stories told by men concerned in one way or another with Colorado mining. These stories will interest St. Louisans, for they involve some of the mine-buying and mine stocking talent of the Future Great. They will, of course, have no effect upon legiti mate trading in mines wh'cii is carried on to such a large extent in St. Louis, but thev will serve as pleasant illustrations of the reckless and extravagant ways in which many people have been led to invest in “holes in the ground” without giving the subject any consideration whatever, or al lowing their discretion to guide them, as they would in other business ventures. The cause of this rash and impetuous dash for fortune is thoroughly appreciated by the genuine Westerner, who keeps cool and resists im pulse under the most shining or trying cir cumstances. He knows all about the Gran ite Mountain strike, and to the millions there suddenly exposed ascribes the mad rush of the thousands over the brink of speculation in the chasm of disappointment and despair. And the Westerner never fails to make this simple explanation to every St. Louisan he meets. I have had it dinged into my ears a thousand times since I ar rived in Denver, and it was during the pre liminary dinging on the trip West that I provoked a few story-tellers to unbosom themselves, and drew out a torrent of bust ed bonanza lore that I propose to repour into this column for the delectation of the read ers of the Globe-Democrat. PLACING MINES. “You are from St. Louis, are you?” a gentleman asked, who is a superintendent of a prosperous mine near Georgetown. “Yes,” I answered as meekly as I knew how. “Well, you came from a great mine mar ket," said the gentleman; “and your citi zens own some very fine properties; but say, St. Louisans must be the worst lot of un peeled suckers that a grub-staker or tunnel worker ever ran across. They tell me it’s as easy to place a mine in St. Louis as it is to catch the cholera in Constantinople when an epidemic is flourishing there. All a man has got to do is to land in the town with a map of a prairie dog hole, or some kind of two-days-old excavation, and go around with a subscription paper, and if he starts out early in the morning, he can have his document full of names and his pockets full of money before night. I have heard that it is only necessary to make a success of such a scheme to get some big broker or banker or some prominent citizen with a reputation for driving hard bargains or making careful investments to head the list of 1,000 shares and then the mine-placer is thoroughly equipped and his fortune is assured. Mind I have only picked up this statement. It seems to be a part of the reputation which St. Louis has acquired in this direction since she became a mme mar ket. I know myself of a case in which a mine was placed where the placer had no other recommendation than a general sort of letter of introduction. His mine was located in Ouray county, and nothing was known about either it or him until lie began to push it in St. Louis. His letter of introduction was from the Chair man of the Republican Cennty Committee of Gunnison county,Col.,and oh the strength of this writing, without a sample of ore, a certificate of assay or location, or anything else, he succeeded in a very short time in selling his property for 5575,000. It was stocked, of course, and the Lord only knows how many hundred peoplo now hold the stock.” OLD TOM JOHNS. “You have heard of old Tom Johns.*” another Westerner broke in. “What! not heard of old Tom Johns—the old fellow that played the specimen trick on Anna Dickin son when Com. Decatur was showing her over the mountains, near Georgetown? Well, I’ll tell you. Tom Johns took the St. Louis and Boston folks in in good style, and has made more money selling mines, which nobody has ever seen or heard of, than any man in Western history. He sold a mine in St. Louis for $100,900 that paid $24,000 dividends in two years. He paid the dividends himself, and when he got tired of paying them he just quit, nnd I believe the owners of that mine have been looking for it ever since. I don’t suppose old Tom himself knew where it was—or cared either. FOOLING A BOSTON SYNDICATE. “He broke one family in Boston, Tom did, and got S:3OO,(X>O out of a syndicate at the Hub that were the worst-l'oolcd lot of money-bags that ever struck Colorado. This syndicate, or it may be only a delega tion of them, came West to see the mine for which they had paid their money, and of which Tom gave them an account ten times more glowing than the Book of Revelations. lien Tom got word that they were en route he was not worried in the least. He hired a big house up in the mountains just beyond Georgetown, some kind of a hotel I think it was, and he got servants and groceries and champagne anil all necessary arrangements to furnish first-class enter tainment. He met them at Denver and es corted them the rent of the way. The party were tired and they stood the entertaming three or four days; at the end of that tiino thev wanted to see their $300,000-mine Old Toni took them out apiece and up a bit and pointing to a row of stakes driven in the snow, said: “There she is, gentlemen. Right under them stokes, which I have had put, there by surveyor, just, ovor my stakes in the ground, is your mine. Yoil can't see it now •".‘cause the snow’s on it, but when the snow goes she'll ho all hunky, nnd you can bet it’s a bonanza.” “That’s all the Boston syndicate ever saw of their mine, which was located on Gothic l’eak. I think. Those stakes in the snow cost, them $: 100,000, Old Tom Johns was a dandy for placing mines. Rt. Louisans will recollect him and so will Bostonians if they hopr or lead his name. I ityn't know where lie is now, or what has become of him, but l guess he Is comfortably located somewhere enjoying the fortune ho made in mining, Mhich is all the more astonishing ns ho was never known in the mining region *s any hnrg more than a day-laborer.” KNOW MINES. “Talking about snow investments,” said a tinning expert who was in the party, “did you ever hear of the man who ran a 200- foot tunnel into a snow-ban It? No? IV ell, this man was some kind of an engineer, and sonic Eastern people who hail bought, a mine --Maybe they were Rt. Louisans —engaged him to run a tunnel for them, and he din it -he ran it through ‘2OO feet of snow nnd got lud for it, and whi n the snow melted and the greenhorns went, out to look for their tunnel it hail heon dissipated by the sun and skirmishing down toward th“ basin of .h* Mississippi valley by way of the Ar kansas river.” ! hen another story was told about a J°ung man who belonged to an Illinois } h'bento t hat purchase l a mine in seine part of the mountains and came out to look !’ ’t. 1 his was two summer.- ago. Rnme heltsvAJilfl/M locate the claim, and they found it under a muss of snow. Row cttu we get at it?" he asked. “You can’t get at it till the snow melts,’’ w.is the answer. “And when will the snow melts” “Don't know.” lie waited all that summer, and the snow was still there, when he packed his grip and started back for the Sucker State. The fol lowing summer he tried it again, but the snow was still there. Re has not been around yet this summer, but he’s exjiected. If this should meet his eye before he starts, ho may save himself a long and mean journey, for the memory of the oldest pioneers Is authority for the statement that the same old snow has been covering the side of the mountain on which liis claim is supposed to be located ever since Denver was a settlement, or the white man came to these foothills in search of gold. A PUT-UP JOB. “But the toughest thing on St. Louis that I have heard,” said the man who told the stories about Tom Johns, “is about a Colo rado mine which has been just placed there, and which. I have no doubt, is going to be one of the biggest and meanest swindles in mining or anything else that St. Louis or any other place have yet known. I am familiar with these facts myself, and they are straight. A few weeks ago a Colorado man appeared in St. Louis with a mine which he had only recently lionded for SIO,OOO. He did not misrepresent it in any manner, but was honest enough in his way; he wanted to sell it for $15,000, and was, you see, satisfied to make a profit of $5,000 on the transaction. In his efforts to sell he ran across certain parties in St. Louis who apparently were not as honest as himself. They urged him to put the price of his mine up to SBO,OOO, and give them a chance to place it in their own win’ —that is by subscription or selling stock. The Colorado nmn at firet de murred, but was won over at last, and only the other day the sale was consummated. There are four men in St. Louis in the scheme, and the man from Colorado. One of the St. Louisans is actively placing the stock. The other three, as stockholders, visited the mine, or pretended to do so, and made a most favorable report. They repre sented it as a bonanza, and stock, I under stand, is selling very rapidly. The mine may be a good one or it may not; the chances are that it is entirely worthless, but what ever its value, you can clearly see the con spiracy has for its object the skinning of a number of innocent people who will be in duced to purehaso stock on the representa t’ons of three of the interested parties, who will obtain a clear profit after paying the SIO,OOO for which the mine was bonded, of over $12,000 each.” I suppose this stock, as the gentleman said, is going like hot cakes, and it is a little unfortunate that the names of the schemers and of their property cannot be given, so as to protect the public from what on its face looks like a gigantic swindle. The names may come later, though, and it is to be hoped that they will. THE BOSS MINE. “A curious case of fleecing,” said the ex pert, “is the sale of the Boss mine to a St. Louis crowd for $40,000. A fakir went to Louis with some rich specimens of wire gold, and displayed them as the product of the Boss mine, up near Breckenridge. The glittering metal caught the eyes of a num ber of gentlemen, who sent from their midst a baker, a restaurant keeper and a broker, neither of whom knew a mine from a meat-ax, and one of whom was so deaf that a job could be put up on him ire any number of people using fog horns. The two visited the mine. They were shown into a tunnel, and the wire gold was pointed out to them fairly dripping from the rocks. This was enough. They never stopped to investigate the title to the mine. They hurried back to St. Louis and paid over their $40,000. The very day the money was paid a telegram was sent West and the same night the offi cers of the law took possession of the Boss, which was in litigation at the time of the sale, as a blind man could have seen by look ing over the records, which are open to everybody. It is claimed that the Boss tunnel, which Is under the Key West mine, is part of that property, and the mine has been in law for some time.” When the St. Louis stories gave out the gentlemen turned their attention to the sub ject of dishonest miners and the difficulty of preventing mine employes from stealing and carrying away specimens, particularly where the specimens are rich. It was agreed by the party, all of whom had experience to speak from, that Cornish miners, though the best workmen, are to be less trusted than any’o#)er class. The Idaho gold mine, in Grass valley, Cal., has the reputation of furnishing the finest specimens in the world, and for a long time it suffered from the dis honesty of its employes. Then the proprie tor, Mr. Coleman, devised a plan which he thought would entirely do away with the possibilities of stealing. He built a large room at the entrance to the mine and unother some fifty feet or so inside the mine. The men, on coming to work, entered the first room STRIPPED TO THEIR PELTS; then they walked naked past a number of inspectors to the inner room, where they donned their working clothes. At the end of the day they left tneir working clothes in the inner room, walked naked through the guarded passage to the first room, put on their clothes and went home, but not before their dinner buckets were closely examined. In this way Mr. Coleman thought he had completely circumvented the dishonest Cor nishman. But he was mistaken. Speci mens got out and were sold in the neighbor ing town. He began an investigation, and a Cornish miner was arrested, who finally confessed that when ho found an unusually rich specimen he boat it smooth with his hammer and concealed it on his person so that he was able to carry it past the guards, even though in a state of nudity. At Nevada City 18,0IHJ pounds of ore wero sold a short time ago for SB,OOO. It was identified as the product of the Eberhard mine, near White Pines, and there was a great deal of curiosity to learn how it had been carried out of the mine. The story was obtained in some way, and this is it: A Cornish miner employed in the Eberhard had his dinner bucket made with a false bottom, into which he put a specimen every day, carrying it away safely to a cabin which he shared with another Comishman. who worked on the night shift. As his part ner was absent when lie was present, he had no trouble in secreting the ore, placing it cadi night under the floor of the cabin and keeping its presence and whereabouts a secret. One morning he informed his part ner that he was going to quit the Eberhard and leave the country. The partner must have been suspicious, for lie only waited for the ore thief to get out of sight, when he tore up the cabin floor, and, borrowing a horse and wagon, loaded up the 1,800 pounds of Stuff, and driving to Nevada City, sold it He then disappeared, ami the original thief never got a cent for his share of the plunder. .
