THE LAND OF GOLDEN BULLETS.
A Search Going On for Mysterious Placer
Mines South of San Juan.

shines south OF San Juan.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Frederick NJ. Endlich of Los Angeles, CAL, is
at the Grand Pacific. Mr.. Endlich is erecting
extensive smelling worksin southern California
to treat the ores of southern Nevada, southern
California and Sonora, on the west coast Of
Mexico. He tells romantic story of the Tonic
range of mountains i'll the western part
of Arizona, made famous about twenty years
ago by the Tonic Apache Indians of that re-
gion using gold bullets in their guns. The new
railroad nearly completed across these noun
tains from Prescott to Phoenix passes through
canons known to be rich i'll gold vet no white
man has ever been able to discover it.
Some wears ago Surgeon Brayton Of the
United States army was captured by the Tonic
Apaches during an engagement with troops
from Fort Yuma. He was taken several miles
into the Tonic mountain range and held e
prisoner in secluded camp. At that time sew
eral OF the tribe were sick from malaria and
other causes. and from his knowledge of their
ailments he effected many cures. These acts
were looked upon with gratitude by his cap
tors. and after few days he was taken to q
deep ravine, through which small stream of
water was running, and allowed to work the
auriferous gravel for gold. He was rewarded
by finding coarse gold so plentiful that in few
washings he filled his pockets with nuggets.
Knowing that several bullets cut from wounded
SOLDIERS were found TO De gold and that they
were in the Smithsonian Institution at WASH
ington. he was aware that he stood upon the
ground that produced these precious mes
sengers of death. The sides Of the canon rose
sheer up hundreds of feet and he enable to
accurately locate the spot. though he could see
in the distance the crest Of huge peak known
as Viewers Needle.
Soon after Surg. Brayton escaped, and after
many hardships reached Fort Yuma where he
exhibited the golden nuggets and described the
great treasure hidden in the Tonic range. The
occurrence caused intense excitement and sew
eral unsuccessful expeditions explored the re-
gion. headed by Surg. Brayton, who. strange to
say. could not locate the diggings. 1t was al
ways supposed that this gold came from the
Adams region, but this was disproved during
the last year.
The theory now advanced is that the treasure
lies south of the San Juan region at present
creating SO much excitement, and an expedi-
ton has entered the Tonic mountains from the
north, taking its guide the continuation
| southwark from the San Juan district. 1t is
conceded by old miners that if the country of
golden bullets" is discovered it will develop
one Of the greatest placer districts ever opened
in the west.

by white men Walker began working the mine,

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Interest and activity in

up to 1913, but the expected squeeze went no
farther and its price later retired to 127.

same reason, though its advance only q
per cent at 491. but it later retired to 461. the
excitement in both stock subsiding rapidly.
The trading in the railroad list still heavily

with but few exceptions.
After ii O'Clock there was some renewal of
the excitement in sugar and dstllers, owing to
the evident support given by the in
siders around 1274. and from that point
it rose to 129%; distillers in the mean
time rising to As after selling as low as 47.S.
Stories of the alliance with the PENNSYLVANIA

increased transactions it rose l per
