CANYoSvILLE, Or. May 16.-Edward Schieffe-
lin, the well-known discoverer of Tombstone,
Ariz, was found dead in his cabin near this
place yesterday. Schieffelin lived alone, and
when his body was discovered It was impossible
TO ascertain the cause Of death. From the fact
that q valuable watch was the body, as we'll
as $6s In coin, 1t was apparent that death was
the result of natural causes. lie left papers and
letters showing that he did not commit suicide.
Schieffelin cleaned up 100000 just twenty
years ago from rich mines he located with his
brother and Richard Gird in Tombstone, but
this fortune he wasted in many mining ventures.
and lately he had been prospecting on various
parts Of the coast. He was a man who didn't
know what fear meant. He penetrated the heart
of the Apache country in search Of gold, and 1t
was tho friendly warning that he would find his
tombstone In old Chief Cochise's territory that
led him to give that sinister name to the camp
he discovered.
In February, 1873. accompanied by his brother
and Grd. he returned to the ledge at Tomb.

the unfamiliar ore. and refused to have any.

produced several millions. Finally they sold
one-Quarter interest for enough to develop
