Fate @f Prospectors.

A special dispatch from Pomona 10 the Chronicle says that Edward NJ Clark and Harry Sanford, who started to drive across the Colorado desert from Banning to Yuma last month, have undoubtedly been lost on the desert. James Coyie, who Is the proprietor of the European Hotel in Pomona. and who was financial. ly interested in these two men, has In. formation that confirms his worst fears as to their fate. Six weeks ago Clark and Sanford were grub stsked" by Coyle on mining and prospecting tour along the Colorado river, and they started from Pomona with horse and wagon and lot of camp tools and provisions. CoyIe heard from them every few days until they reached Banning, some seventy miles away, where they started to cross the desert. Clark wrote from Banning that the weather was cooler than usual, and. notwithstanding warnings of men there, he and Sanford were going 10 start that night across the desert, which he be. lieved they could cross in five or six days
 In the course of eight days Coyle re- ceived short letter written by Clark st Volcano Springs station. He said tha, he and Sanford had suffered terribly on the desert and had been nearly overcome hp m o uf ul haok nd hot nI
 Their horse had. however, ser-ed well and pulled them through. They had about worn out their shoes, and each had lost twenty pounds of flesh in one week. They were out of money and nearly out of provisions, SO they must go on toward Yuma, eighty miles away, ss fast as possible
 From that time Mir Coyle has not heard from either of the men. He has done everything possible to hear about them. Yesterday he had conclusive in. formation that Clark and Sanford have died on the desert. A prospector named Higgins has sent word 10 Mr. Coyle from Indio that last week he found two bodies answering the description of Clark and Sanford lying on me desert twenty Eve miles from Volcano Springs. The bodies were much decomposed, but, from the description Of the clothes and shoes on them, Mir. Coyle is sure they are Clark and Sanford Besides, two miles away there IS dead horse with harness on it that answers a close description of the horse and harness with which the two missing men started away from Pomona
 Every one here who knows about the circumstances is sure the bodies are those of Clark and Sanford. Clark was a member of one of the best known fsmi- lies in New York state. His uncle was ex Governor Myron H. Clark of Canan- daigua, and his cousin is State Treasurer Colvin of Glen's Falls, N. Y. Clark came to California two years ago with an invalid wife, and lived in Grass Valley and Penn Valley until, by ar unfortunate e mine speculation, he lost all he had He was too proud to write to his eastern rel. stives for help, and determined to make his own fortune over again. He came to Pomona last April and tried to get into some work. He heard of successes m gold mining along tbe Colorado river and decided to go there. Mir. Coyle says

It Is well known to mining men that the Colorado river at Bulls Head offers a grand site for plant for the generation oi electric power. No better place can be found in the whole river country.

Three years ago we visited Vanderbilt and made casual examination of the mines there. In our humble opinion the good mines were few and those we con- sidered among the best were idle. The Gold Bronze, by proper handling, could have been readily put on a paying bssis, and the Queen of the Night, in our opinion, should be a bonanza. Several other claims could have been put in a paying condition if properly developed, but the iedges upon which thousands oi dollars were spent were barren or nearly SO. Little judgment was used in the outlay of cash in the mining develop
 ment of Vanderbilt and as a result to. day there are few mines heinz worked.

The Eye is in error regarding the founding of Vanderbilt by A. G Camp
