RANDSBURG, Nov. 23.-Oa Novem ber
IL TWO Randsbur m ners named William
Mcleod and Felix DonnelIy stared for
Wilson's Canvon, about sixiy-hve miles
north from Rtndsburg. They hired q
horse and light wagon from Joe Mon
aghan, intending TO be zone bout four
days. Yesterday the wagon and outfit
were discovered near Landersk we'll, four
teen miles from Gardner station. Appear
auces indicated that the two miners ar
rived there the same night after leaving
Randsburg. They were probably short
of water, and expected 10 obtain it there.
The old we'll has been abandoned and

discovered it yesterday. revealed the fact
tha; the men had evidently unhitched the
horse and started to obtain water from
some of the adiacent mines. Returning
from what must have been futile search
tney found that the horse had broken
loose and probably started in quest of
water itself, for the broken hitching-rope
was still there on the wagon.
1t is presumed tnaJ the miners then
started after the horse. became lost and
perhaps perished. The blankets and bed
ding on the wagon had not been unroiled,
and the untouched luncheon and coats OF
both gave evidence that their owners ex-
pected to return. President Dougherty
and Is companion made diligent research
and inquiry at Garden station, the next
watering place, for men and horses, but
neither had been seen. On arriving at
Rand burg he case was reported to the
owner of the wagon and horse, Joe Mona
CHAN.
1t was not long before searching party
was organized, headed by William Soute
and his partner, Grant VINO started out 10
look for the unfortunates this afternoon.
Donnely and Mcleod were old miners
we'll known on the desert and had many
friends here, who argue that if the men
were all right and safe some word would
have reached Randsburg OF their where
abouts ere this, as they expected to return
not later than Novem ber Is. Thev un-
doubtedly arrived at Lunders we'll the
night that they left Randsburg as they
passed through Garden station early in
the afternoon.
Several parties returning over the VIII
son Canyon road have been intervie wed,
but no information or trace OF the unfor-
tuuates has been obtained.
