POMONA.
Henry Gray Murdered While Prospect
ing for Mexican Gold.

POMONA, Jan. 20.-Henry Gray, who
recently went to Mazatlan, Mexico, to
visit his brother, Joseph Gray, well
konwn gold miner of Arizona and grad
uate of the University of California,
writes that the latter had been murder
ed in the mountains, forty-seven miles
from Mazatlan.
Joseph had been in Mexico for two
years, looking after the mining inter-
ests he had in connection with Richard,
Gird, the sugar beet millionaire of Chino
Last October he found what seemed to
be very valuable gold mining pros
pect in the mountains near Mazatlan,
but because of the mining laws, by
which it is hard for aliens to maxi
claims to discovered mines, he kept the
location of his find a secret, and waited
until influential and wealthy American
capitalists should arrive from the City
of Mexico to aid HIM. Gray kept his
secret well, though whenever he mad
occasion to go the the mountains he
was stealthily followed by some MeXi-
cans.
The last seen of him was early Christ
mas morning, when he informed the
hotel proprietor at Mazatlan that he
erty.
Four days later his mutilated body
was found in a canyon in the San Lo-
renZo mountains. He had evidently
been shot with a Winchester rifle. His
head had been severed from his body
and hidden in the bushes two miles fur
ther up the canyon. His clothes were
cut away SO as to prevent identifica-
tion.
The authorities in Mexico have been
investigating the case, but they have
not as yet found the least clue to the
identity of the murderers
Joseph Gray was born in Portland Or.
35 years ago. He was brought up in
sacramento, where his relatives still
reside. He was a first cousin of United
States Senator Wolcott of Colorado, and
was heir to $4,000 from an aunt in Or
egon. At the University of California
he ranked high as a mireralogist. He
leaves wife an an infant son in Oak
land. He was one of the most SUCCESS
full young gold miners III Central Ore

TOO MANY BROOKS.

These verses" remarked the eld-

sound. But there's too much in them
about running brooks to strike the
popular chord
But it's something that most

IF that's the case, it explains
why most poetry is not popular.
The public just now isn't caring
whether the brooks run or not.
What il wants is TO see the factories
