starving Cattle on ArizOms Ranges.
G. Duchet, who knows every inch of
ground between Phoenix and the Nav
aio. reservation, has returned from a
trip to the Mogollones. He reports a
terrible condition of affairs on the
ranges of that section. It is dryer
than ever before known, and cattle
are perishing by hundreds. At one
place he was in box canyon and OBJ
served that cattle which came to drink
were so weak and exhausted that on
coming to the creek they fell into the
water, some of them drowning and
others drinking SO much they could
not walk.
The country is utterly barren of
feed, and cattle walk lowing over the
mesas, cropping brush and anything
that bears signs of vegetable life.
Mr.. Duchet was near cliff at least
300 feet high over the Verde, on Muir
rays ranch, and saw cow walk
slowly toward the edge. He expected
to see it stop at reasonable distance,
but instead, without Stacking it's pace,
it walked right over the edge, striking
two or three times in the precipitous
descent, landing mangled and dead.
It was as clear case of suicide as
ever occurred. Other cattle have been
known to walk into quicksands and
allow themselves to be smothered. =

Fatal Accident.

A week ago Tuesday young man
named M. P. Jorgenson, who was well
and favorably known in this section,
lost his life in a somewhat singular
manner. It appears that he and some
companions left Helene on hunting
trip to Pahranagat Lake and were re-
turning when the accident occurred.
Jorgenson told the driver of the wagon
in which he was riding that he would
lay down in bottom of the vehicle, and
in changing position his pistol dropped
and exploded, the ball entering his
body above the navel and ranging up
ward, entered the heart. He never
spoke, death being instantaneous.
The remains were inferred at Hike,
Messrs. Ed. f. Prudential and w.
r. McFadden of Phoebe, who were in
Hike at the time, taking charge of the
body.
Young Jorgenson had many friends
in Phoebe, who were shocked to learn
of his untimely end. He was about
twenty-four years of age. He had no
known relatives in this country, his
parents living in Denmark. Phoebe

says: Prof. Kimball has made some
wonderful discoveries here in Osceola,
finding large deposits of gold in grass
roots that have hitherto been overlook
ed by We practical prospectors.
The Professor says that Osceola has
most promising future as gold pro-
ducing camp; besides which it has an
almost exhaustless treasure in the way
of silver deposits. He further says,
regarding the quarts and general for
nation, that it is very much the sam e
here as it is in California.
His work with his mineral indicator,
during his stay here, has been closely
observed by mining men who had but
little faith in this method OF finding
ore, but who, since they have seen it's
utility practically demonstrated, are
now his strongest advocates and
friends.
In company with Prof. Kimball, l
intend starting for Salt Lake within
two or three days, and upon my ar

professor has accomplished it this
