Tho Lnllpu,ians of suporstitious Mountain.

Tho LillIputians of SuperstitiOus Mountain.
Some excitement is being created among the
Mexican population Of PhUnix by the story
of n Mexican who arrived last evening from
the Reno Mountains. He came into town un-
der cover of darkness, as lie was nearly max cd
His hands and feet were torn and bloody and
his face gashc1 in a fearful manner. His
story was told with the air of II man who had
been terribly frightened and had not re-.
covered. With companion he started out
prospecting about a month ago, going up Salt
river They left the river when opposite the
SupcrstitiOus Mountain. Their prospecting
began at this point. While climbing up the
mountain in a little gully through black sand,
and down which large stream of water
had evidently passed years ago, they were
ast0nlshed to find that in this sand were
large quantities of fine gold. In scmc places
tho sand was only about half an ,nch deep
over the granite. Tho gold, in pieces the size
of bean and smaller, WAS found in the little
| assures in the face of tho bedrock. Very
| little washing was necessary, and thOy found
| a little spring of water which furnished them
what they needed. They obtained, they think,
| about $500 worth in half days work. About
| TWO o'clock in the afternoon they were sur
| prisCd to see an Indian woman come to the
| top of the gulch above the spring aud start to
come down. Upon seeing them she ran back
over the hill. In less than ten minutes they

the mountain and put them in a cave. They

will say that Superstitious Mountain derives
its namo from the fact that no white man has
over been seen again who attempted its ascen =

that large deposits of free gold are to be found
in its guches and ravines 1t is not known
