TURNING HOUSES INTO GOLD
Deserted Buildings Were Made of Ore and
Arc Now Smelted.

Deserted Buildings Were Made of Ore and
Arc Now SmeIted.
Among the greatest mines of Arizona
was the Vulture, now the property OF
II. A. w. Tabor. 1t is fifteen miles
southwest of Wickenburg, whence the
ores were taken by wagons to be milled
on the bank of the Hassayampa.
The mine produced over ten million
dollars in gold, and the richest ore was
found on the surface. OF course, in the
early days nothing save the best was
milled, and in the great waste dumps
around the mine was found the build
ing material for the town Of Vulture.
The mine worked on for score OF
years without varying fortune, the
town maintaining large population,
when the pipe line from the Hassayam-
pa was washed away by the food that
followed the breaking of the Walnut
Grove dam, the one-hundred stamp
mill was closed down and the camp
was deserted.
Three years ago T. E. Parish secured
a two-years lease of the property, fit
ted up ten of the stamps, put in gas
oline engine, got his water out of the
mine and started to "cayoting" on the
lower levels. Near the end of his lease
he ran out of really good ore.
In this extremity, says the Denver
Republican, he bethought himself of
the scores of tenantless houses. Every
one was constructed of free milling
iron oxide gold ore, and specimens
chipped from the corners assayed an
average of twenty dollars to the ton.
The last three months his stamp mill
ran solely upon building material,
much TO the profit of its owner

devotion and enthusiastic loyalty TO President
Cleveland only a few years ago. The President 3
attitude on the silver question was the same
thcn that II Is now and everybody, including
Swltzlcr. knew what that attitude was. He had
recognized Switzler's devotion and deserts by
appointing him Chief Of the Bureau Of Statis-

some four years presided over that important
bureau. Tnkind persons. who did not appear to
think that Switzlcr knew much about statistics,

clared that he wasted too much time In making
his personal appearance attractive by the liberal
use Of pomadcs and sweet scented waters and
extracts and soaps and other toilet prcpar;i-
lions which are said TO be held In adherence
by the unwashcd Democracy Of the muddy State.
But Switzlcr regarded not the gibcs and snecrs
Of those ungody persons, for he was basking In
the warm and smiling sunlight OF Executive
favor and constantly extracting sweet as well
as substantial nourishment from the National
Treasury. Those were indeed red-lettcr days for
Switzler. His relations with his great and good
friend Cleveland appear TO have been Of the
fricndest-not 10 say the most intimate kind

newspaper attested the fact. Moreover, he was
