A DESERT TRAGEDY.
Prospectors See the Mud Volcanoes.
A Victim of Thirst.

Brown and Crawford, the Cocopah
mountain prospectors, confirm the re-
port that mud volcanoes exist at the
northern end OF the Cocopah range, and
give an interesting account of them in
the Lower Californian. Brown says the
volcanoes are not what Colonel Allen
cracks them up to be, but still he de-
scribes them as wierd and awful and
worth going long way to see, The
fumes Of sulphur arising from them can
be detected two or three miles away,
and as the volcanoes are approached
blubbering sound is heard, caused by
the mud being thrown from the craters.
All the craters are on level with the
surrounding plain and none of them
throw mud more than few feet in the
air. The earth for long distance
around the volcanoes is intensely hot,
and animals have dread of the local
ity and connot besinduced to go near.
Even men are afraid, and instructive
fear keeps themfrom making too close
an examination OF the uncanny region.
After procuring new supplies and get
ting back to the camp in the Cocopahs,
Brown and his partner left in direc-
ton south of east for new fields.
Their first camp was in the laguna,
thirty miles distant, and about midway
between the Cocopah range and the
Colorado river. They prospected along
southwark to the old sulphur mine, and
one day came upon the body of man
who had evidently died Of thirst. The
body was apparently that of German,
and had been dead at least week, but
was not decomposed, the dry air of the
desert having preserved it to remark
able degree. There were evidences of
the man having suffered terrible agony,
and his finger nails had been torn off in
his efforts to reach water by digging in
the sand. The body was buried by the
two prospectors, who then continued
their journey, Two miles further on
they found the skeletons Of two burros,
and the packs which the animals had
carried, in life were still attached to the
bones. The outfit had no doubt be-
longed to the German prospector, and
the packs yet contained the bacon, -four
and hard tack which is found in every
prospector'e outfit. -

A special dispatch from San Diego to
the San Francisco Chronicle under date
of the 18th instant says:
By letter today from Valley Center,
in the interior Of this county, comes the
news of sensational elopement, which
has stirred the residents of that whole
section to high pitch. Mr.. and Mrs.
H. +. Melhuish have been married
twenty-one years and have son OF 20
and married daughter of about Is.
The daughter had been paying a visit to
her parents and her father took her to
her home in South Riverside, the son
accompanying them.
Mrs. Melhuish ostensibly started for a
neighboring rancher's to stay until they
should return, but no sooner was her
husband out of sight than she began
preparations for flight with man
namd Ed Dinwiddie, who had once
owned a neighboring ranch, and who
called for her that night. She took
everything valuable in the house, and
before she left turned loose all the
stock upon the place, which before Mr..
Melhuish returned, had wandered away,
and much OF it became irretrievably lost.
The woman left note for her husband
saying she had gone camping with some
friends from San Diego. but she was OBJ
served by a neighbor to leave in a con-
veyance toward Pala with Dinwiddle.
The husband is now looking for the
pair and it is thought q tragedy will re-
suit if he succeeds inshis quest. Din
widdle is cousin of G. w. Breedlove,
now awaiting sentence for the killing of
Sailor Brown, Of the Charleston, during
the riot in this city some months ago,
and had borne bad reputation in the
locality of his latest escapade. Mr..
Melhuish is a highly respected rancher
and it is said, worked hard to. pro-
vide good home for the woman.

L. c. GOODWIN.
The Career and Characteristics of thu
Deceased Banker.

The Career and Characteristics of the
Deceased Banker.
The death OF Mr.. L. @. Goodwin on
Tuesday took from the business circles
of this city one of the purest, most hon
orable and faithful of men, who may be
termed one of Gods noblemen. He was
honorable in every transaction of life,
and the personiication of integrity in
business. No husband could have been
more devoted and loving. He suffered
greatly from his illness for ten months
past; but during all these many days
no word OF impatience, complaint or an
ger did ne utter. On the contrary he
had words of thanks for every tride done
for him, being always gratifed and for
bearing, fighting brave fight for life
each day. No one ever appreciated
friends more; until his illness became
too severe to permit of their presence,
with them. No man ever had more sim
cere and loving friends as was evidenced
by the numbers OF those who, during his
many months of illness rendered him
their services and sympathy; for them
he always had a warm welcome, q sunny
smile, and witty remark, and as the
end drew near, he daily regretted his
inability to see those who focked to his
door.
For his faithful, devoted wife who
was ever at his side, doing all that could
be done for his relief and comfort, his
affection was exceeding great, and as he
passed from life his last, long, lingering
look was to her, saying the words his
lips could not utter. And to the skilled.
faithful physician, who was at once
brother and doctor, Mr.. Goodwin owed
many months of life; DR.. Kurtz almost
gave up his time and practice to his
care.
During much of the time OF his i'll:
ness Mr.. Goodwin was delirious, but
these periods were to his friends and
attendants positive proof of the purity
of his mind, for at no time did he give
words and thoughts.
| AT the time of his illness Mr.. Good
win was vice-president of the Farmers
and Merchants bank, and was president
of the Los Angeles Savings bank and a
member OF the State Bankers assocla-
ton. He was born in Forsyth, Ga.
on the 10th of May, 1882, and in 1888
came to California, staying the greater
part of the time in this city, until 1857,
when he went to Helena, Ark, and
thence to Memphis, Tenn. In 1858 he
was married at Sunbury, Pa, and in
1865 he returned to this city, where he
has since resided, respected by his ac-
quaintances and beloved by his inti-
mates. .a

The Ora Bella mine has never looked
more promising than under the manage
ment of Col. Spear, its present efficient
superintendent. A 2.foot vein OF $50
ore has recently been struck in the low
est levels of the mine and the outlook
for fiourishing camp at that point is
most promising.
Tombstone Prospector. t
George Kohler returned last night
from trip to the Huachuca mountains.
He went to the top of the high peak
where he discovered few months ago
a cave or deep hole in the mountains.
He was provided with line and plumb
which he dropped down distance Of
200 feet before reaching the bottom.
From the straight nature of the opening
he is inclined to believe that it is an old
mine or extinct volcano, and that his
line only reached bottom on bench.
The leaden weight was covered with a
reddish-yellow mud, which would lend
color to the theory of the openingibeing
a shaft OF an old mine.

stone to survey the proposed FaribanR

Gage, Leach, Berrott and Carrel will
bear an equal share of the expenses o
the survey. The fact that the heavies

also own 100000 worth of mules ant

On the tibia of their forelegs may be seen
bright, shiny spot, oval in form, which
has been found to be true ear. Old nat
uralists supposed these strange structures
helped in some way to intensity the pene-
trating, chirping sounds of crickets. No
one for moment thought they might be
ears, and don't much wonder at it. How
ever, Sir John Lubbock and other modern
naturalists have decided that crickets, bees,
ants and other little animals shall not keep
their sense organs secret from US any
longer; and although these are often in the
least suspected places, still by careful ex-
periments they are sure to be discovered,
as was the cricket's ear. Some grasshop-
pers have no ears in their legs, and as a
rule these cannot sing. a@ o. Ei3e ~

RARE OPPORTUNITIES.
What the South Has to Offer the
HOmeseeker
Rich Lands at Low Figures-Early
Crops at Fancy Prices.

A certain small town in Louisiana,
and another in Mississippi, on the
line of the Illinois Central r. r. but
few wears ago had absolutely no
commercial Importance, and from
them not dollars worth Of produce
was sold to distant market. This
season, however, it has required from
one of them, an entire fruit refrigera-
tor car every day for six weeks to
transport it's early Crops to the North
ern markets, while from ten to TWEEN
ty car loads per day of vegetables
were shipped during the season from
the other. This is but a single illus
tration, and by no means the most
forcible one that could be presented,
of the rapid development of certain
sections of the South, in profitable
agricultural section. There are many
localities in that direction, particul-
arly in Tennessee, Mississippi and
Louisiana. on or near the line of the
Illinois Central Railroad, that, al
though, as yet undeveloped, are cap
able of easy cultivation, and will grow
the finest kind of fruit and vegetables.
Lands we'll adapted to growing early
strawberries and grapes, OF quality TO
bring fancy prices in the market, can
be obtained there very cheap-in some
| instances as low as 81 per acre. The
availability of the Illinois Central fast
fruit and vegetable trains for sending
the crops to profitable markets adds
but final weight to the security of its
being a profitable enterprise to engage
in the development of these lands.
