THE HILL AND FREEMAN PARTY
 EXPEDITION.

The Hill and Freeman prospecting outtt, bound for the x. E. corner of Arizona where gold and silver are lying about loose, and tae only difficulty in the way oi ob- ,aining it is in the fact that the Indians ob- feet to its being carried away, have about all got away, and are forming rendezvous at Hull's store. on the Verde. We under stand that the patty now numbers about one hundred, all well mounted, armed and equipped at a cost of not less th tn two hun lred dollars to the man, or an aggregate ex- pendi,ure for horses, saddles, provisions. guns, pistols ammunition and other Eeces- sary equipments for such a journey of not
 less than s90,O00. The distance from Pres colt to the Calanasa Mouu.aias, in which the fabulous diSgings arc said to be situ- a,ed, is about two hundred miles in straight line, and how much further, by any prac- ticablo trail that may be found, we are un- able to say. According 10 the maps, the celebrated Arizona diamond fields lie im- metliatelv al the eastern base Oi the Gala basas, and djoining these, still to the east ward, is the Navajo lndian reservation. To inc \. E. Of the reservation, which IS partly in Arizona and partly in New Mexico is the San Juan country, in the State ot Colorado. The region into which thIs eX' pedition is going is almost entirely untX- plored. though from time to time during several years past, the most extravagant stories have been set afloat reg 'rding the existence of precious metals in the noun taius sud along the streams that flow from them into the Colorado River. It Is not Impossible that this party may ind a valu abe mining country, but it will be a new discovery if they do, as it is not likely that there Is any truth in the reports upon which the party is. gotten up.
 Freeman, it is believed by those who
 know him best, first tod his story of finding gold by the salt sack full as joke, and kent it un until others -epeated II, giving him as authority, and as he couldn't con- sis,ently ''go pack on himself" he kopt on telling |, until he forgot that It was hoax and now firmly believes it himself.
 Hill. Shuso stoiy is not quite so extrava- gant as Frceman's. probably dreamed either asleep or awake, of some such place as he i tells about, aud the impression is so vivid on his mind inst he believes it to be the truth.

A CALIFORNIA STORY.
BY FRANK DAWES,

He could not be called handsome man,
and would have been decidedly ugly had
it not been for certain undcfnable
something in his face, kind of magnet
ism in his glance that caused every body
to address him respectfully.
He war dered about the mountains and
valleys day after day, with an old Ken
lucky rifle on his shoulder, seemingly
without any purpose whatever. Men be-
gan to notice him and look after him.
He lived in Il little shanty just out of
Spur City, as the little mining town am
bitiously termed itself, without friend
or confdant of any kind. He lived most
ly on game, and seemed to care but little
for the busy world aud its crooked ways.
We began to think at last that his
mind was affected. Men said be was
CRANKY" which in Western phraseolOgy
means defective intellect. Some argued
that he was broken hearted: some said he
was a natural-born poet: and yet Others
shook their heads wisely and said he was
''no good, by which they thought to con
vey idea thai he was a suspicious
character OF ers there were who frank
ly acknowledged that they did not un
derstaAd him. and that, as this is a free
country, his ways were his own business,
and did not concern them in the lest
The popular mind, no aever, settled it
self on the conclusion that he was
''cranky," and after that very little atten
on was paid to him.
Poor Joe For year he wandered 81
lently over the majestic hills, and his
naturally lean face and form became
thinner-so much 50, in fact, that he
seemed hut ghost of his former self.
| could not shake off idea that
there was something remarkable in the
private history OF this man, some skele-
ton in his closet which was slowly wear
ing his life away.
One evening ] met hun on the foot
hills. coming slowly along t old stage
road about mile and half from camp.
accosted him in a friend y manner, and
was addressed respectfully in return.
asst down, Joe, said /, as | motioned
him to q seal on log upsn which had
llrcady seated myself.
He sat down quietly without word,
md l observed that he wore troubled
look as he glanced uneasily over the
heerIess landscape.
Hunting, as usual." SAID by of con-
versation.
Yes" replied he, sadly.
Do you find plenty Of gamer
Yes; no.
Yes. no: DO not understand you,
said I
perhaps you may some time; perhaps

ply.
isJoe, you are in trouble. Your in
stinct should tell you that | am friend

VOC well; now, you have no conhdants. |
nave the kindness to make an exception |
in my case, and pour out your troubles
10 ms. You have no idea how it win re- |
lieye vour mind.
/ said this as kindly as ] could; but he |
only shook his head and gazed yacantly |
at the western sky, now glorious with the
hues of sunset.
II have no friends" said he, my |
troubles are bsried in here and he laid |
his hand sadly on his breast.
Joe, con do something for yous
feel deeply interested in you said l.
You can do nothing; but l thank you

Mysterious DiS|Pp 1rGHce Of0 Tohh0 aud
Noble English Lody- -4HticiI,afed Scandal
az English H6gh Life-- hfse Is She {?
Recent advlc, from London bring to
hani tie first public utterances of an affair
touching the fair fame of an English lady of
nobility, the extent of which can only be
couiectured by the mysterious facts SO far
made known, which have caused the great
est excitement III fashionable circles. A firm
IN Ilncolu's Inn Fields, London, well known
AS the legal advisers of large number of
families of the highest distinction, including
the duke of Wellington and other important
members of the house of lords, has with
great reluctance been forced by most painful
circumstances to publicly admit that youth
ful fetuale mem Der of one of their noble eli
ent's fam lies has mvsteriously disappeared.
and the hue and cry Is now invoked to secure
ner retarn. II was on the sd of last month
that lac young lady, who is but II years of
tge, vG.,isbed from aristocratic vision and
became lost amid the more numerous aud
grosser specimens of humanity. She is de-
1cribed as being about five feet five inches
in height, of slight figure having fair
' bite skin, rather frecklt d; dark eyes, but
fair hair curled in front. Her Christian
name is rather operatic-Llnda. When she
parted company with her relatives she wore
serge OfesS1 bFaluCu on COlidr anu sleeves
With gold braid; blue silk navy blue
-tocGings and black hat. lined
sith gold braid also. On her
linen we're the initials al. d. and cnro-
n-t. The young lady appears to have been
sell supple with iewerv. for she had a
gold watch marked 81. d" and coronnet
and chaiu, heavy gold bracelets, a diamodl,
and ruby ring. and opal and ruby ring, and
= 5. iyer and gold wedding ring. Accom-
pany ing her on her travels was little black
nd tau toy terrier dog. Oie of the
most remarkable incidents connected With
This most my strrious affair is the absurdIs
inadequate amount of the reward
ifeFsd for recovery of the fugl
I'VE, go being the guaged
measure Of the distracted relatives griet
according TO their own calculations. As a
means of securing the right young lady it is
stated that ,'n her right leg cross has been
tattoed indelibly on the fair skin. This
strange fact appears to suggest that ladies
Of the English aristocracy have found a new
amusement for their leisure hours in tat
tGclng devices on their limbs. The legal
trm DO not hint that the cause OF
he disappearance of the
Young lAdy may have been
due to a deran2ed mind or any other such
natufM Cause. bat the facts, with the man
ner OF their disclosure, lead to the presump
lion that an eIopement has been planned
and xecutpd and that interesting develop
nents may be shortly anticipated. This
story ex,l4Ins the many paragraphs floating
IN u g English papers about tattoo marks. II
IS thought that possibly the young lady may
come, So the Uuited States. If so she can be
easily recognized.
