reported an assav of $400 per tton.
When Butler returned to Klondyke he
was accompanied by Wils Brougher
who was given a three-sixteenths in
terest for putting up the money for the
location work. Butler did not wait at
Austin for the returns on the assay but
went to ins rancn at what is now in
cluded in the Potts ranch. When the:
richness of the ore was found, Gahart
sent an Indian down to find Butler. Jim
was busy haying and did not come up
for some time until he had his hay
stacked and nobody knew where he got
the ore until he 'finally showed.

from the sale to the Tonopah Mining
Company, making a stake of about $63,-

hotel in Carson City. He remained in
Tonopah until 1905 or 1906 and during
the intervening time invested his' money
jointly with Cal. The camp is indebted
to these two brothers for the present
Mizpah hotel which they were instru
mental in having erected. From the
