DIED ON THE DESERT.
Two Bodies Discovered Near
Cullen'S Wells.
A Memorandum Book Contains a
thrilling Story of Burning Sands
and Deadly Thirst.

Two more prospectors have gone tC
swell the list of those who have aban-
doned the hunt for gold to fall down on
the burning san1 of an Arizona desert
under the blazing sun and die. At
that moment pint of water would not
have been exchanged Tor all the gold in
the Harqua Halas, whittier the Inflated
prospectors were journeying. The
bodies were found near, that is to say,
within dozen miles of Cullen's we'll
last Saturday.
A letter was received at the sheriff's
office yesterday from John Drew, sta
ton keeper at the wells notifying the
authorities of the CHASTITY discovery.
The letter also contained a memoran-
dunn book found on one of the bodies,
containing brief information concern
ing the dying writer and his partner.
1t was:
am VIM. Rogers, native of Cornwall.
My father is VIM. Rogers of ChurchtoWn
Breage, Cornwall Good bye. 1 am dying OF
thirst. My partner, Bill MeDona d, has left me
to go on to Harqua Hala.
1t was also discovered from papers in
his pocket that Rogers was a member
of the order of Sons of St. George and
had recently come from Helena. Mont.
Directions were also given concerning
his trunk.
The body of Mcdonald was found
four miles from the wells
The station keepers letter was not
profuse. l. only stated that the bodies
had been found and that man had
been sent out from the wells to bury
them. Beside the memorandum book
the only article mentioned in the letter
as having been found was shaving set.
Neither the appearance nor probable
age OF the dead men was described nor
is 1t stated on which side of the wells
they were found or in what direction
they were probably travelling. From
the condition of the bodies it was sup
posed that death came last Thursday.
An inquiry here failed to discover any
one who remem bered that any pros
pectors of those names had lately been
in Phoenix and it is supposed that they
had gone from Prescott. Culleu's Wells
are about eighty miles from Prescott SO
that if Rogers and Mcdonald were on
their way from the north to the Harqa
Halas by the way OF Vulture they
would have reached the vicinity in
which their bodies were found.
