PONY SALE BRINGS MINER FORTUNE EPECIAX DISPATCH TO THE CALL. RENO, Nev., Nov. 17. — To receive more than 5100.000 for a broken-down cow pony seems like a dream, but the fact remains that Fred Staples, a pros pector operating some lignite claims at Coledale. sold in this city yesterday 7000 shares of Mohawk stock for $122. 500, Staples having received this stock three years ago in payment for a pony which he considered almost worthless. Staples is in California with his invalid wife, and is living in luxury while the man who gave him the stock is still seeking a fortune in Southern Nevada. Three years ago Staples was sitting in his cabin, in the mining camp of Coledale, wondering how he could send his sick wife to San Francisco, wheic the doctors said she must go if her life was to be saved. He had about given up all hope when a prospector from Tonopah arrived at the cabin and asked to buy Staples' pony, standing tied to a sagebrush near the cabin. The Tono pah fortune-seeker did not have much rash, but he had 7000 shares of Mo hawk, which he offered with a $10 bill for the horse. Staples sold the pony and put the stock in a tin can. Tester day he sold the 7000 shares at $17.50 a share, receiving $122,500. MRS. THAW ORDERS SEVEN GOWNS SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. NEW YORK.
