At that time he was known bythe nick-name of “Johnny Broom.” He was a lightweight prize fighter in the. gold camps, and was so called because of his ability to lick ‘em clean. In his youth he was quite a favorite with the then old-timers and a great deal of his mining education camey from them. Of the many good placer claims he staked out in the Leach river district, none of them made a great deal of money for him through sales. That was before the time of big prices for gold mines. From Canada DePratti drifted down into Arizona, then Nevada and finally he located in California. All through his travels,Mr. DePratti prospected and developed mines. Many of them have been and are still good producers. The first mine that he developed and sold at a good profit was the quicksilver mine in Pine Flat, Sonoma county, the ‘Crown Point.” He sold that mine for $15,000 “in 1891. Before that time he had sold many other properties just as good and better than the ‘‘Crown. Point,” but: he had rarely received a sum running into four figures. After finding that it was just as easy ‘to get thousands ap .to get hundreds, Mr. DePratti aimed for bigger and better figures and usually brought them down. Not all of his mines have proven to be profitable to him as the Gobin mine in Nevada proves. Mr. DePratti after considerable developwas not what he at first thought Lumber Talks Winter sports will soon be the order of the day. Sometimes the twin cities are enabled to stage a winter carnival of their own, but whether the winter brings snow it might be. Being unable to seli it at the time he gave it away. Later the Gobin mine produced over $250,000. The old hard rock from down under is still at it. Now he is work‘ling on a quartz ledge at French Corral in the “Three Black Cats” mine. That is one of the. latest} mines discovered by him. As yet considerable development work is to be done on the property before its or not, one winter sport remains, and that is the’ one of doing things to the interior of our homes: During the rainy days the members of the family find much enjoyment and profit in changing things about—pu'ting in a shelf, building a book case, painting dull surfaces, lining a closet, making a play room in the attic, even replacing old floors with new ones.
