for thu Peg Leg mine and nearly lost HE
life. An old miner gave him q rough map
made by Peter Smith, who years ago
found the three little hills OF gold in the
waste Of sand, and he determined to try
again.
The party was we'll equipped and knew
the dangers OF the desert. II was intend
ed that Doran and Bell should do the ar
duous exploring work. Hanson was down
on the borders Of the desert recently and
learned that several Cocopah Indians had
found the trail OF two white men evident
~ lost, as the tracks circled and crossed.

among mining men and an effort will be
made to rescue the party.
