Mr.. Dwyer says he had a great time
hunting and fishing near the Quatro
Amigos mines AID the beauty of the
country there and the wonderful rich
ness of the mileS made good I'M
preston upon him. He brought with
him some samples of ore from the
Quatro Amigos mines to have assay
ed. One aSsayet 1900 ounces Oh silver,
another 1900 oun. eS.
Some New York people have been
to see these mines and will probably
buy them. The ledge which runs
through them l. two and lalf feet
wide and carries gold, copper and
silver. The day foreman, MIR. Kelley,
says il is one of the most beautiful
lodges he has seen in Mexico and he
is an old time miner whose settlement
can be relied upon. says Mr.. Ewyer.
Mr. Dwyer saws that there are great
many deer and antelope a short dis
lance from the mines and ii is fine
place to- go hunting for this class OF
game He says hat Mr.. Waiiace. the
owner of the QUE tro Amigos mines. is
one of these bis, good-natured men
whom il is ap leasure to meet and
he has a fine rd1ch near the Candle

he gladly welcomes all visitors.
Speaking of scenery" said . mining
man, who has jul It come up frC m down
the Sierra Madre line, in the course of
a conversation on the subject at the
Sheldon yesterday, lit surely does do
the eye good to stand on the platform
at San Pedro station and gaze across
the beautiful fields and hills, dotted
with cattle and mining camps.
ITO the west of the depot enc mile
lies the Hamme-t & Friend property
and adjoining it Dryers Three Graces
mines and many more excellent prop
critics lie along this great mineral
belt. Two miles over the beautiful
Escondida mountains are situated the
famous Candelar;a and Leon mines
1t is only a question of a short time
when these properties will have
shipping record second to rome in
Mexico.
1T is certainly wonderful hon these
camps have gro.Tn in the past year,
residences erected at Leon camp and
have a handsome depot. On, of the
main features cf this mining belt is
plenty of good water and wood
THE people of San Pedro enjoy
themselves through summer and win

6ARSrON NOT FOUND
He and His Wife MysteriousIy Van
tShed

The efforts of the officers ID appre-
bend A. n. Garston. who is wanted
for cashing worthless checks, have
awaited them nothing and no trace
of the man has been found.
1t was thought yesterday that he
was in hiding in Ell Paso but search
and research has failed to give any
information as to his whereabouts.
All his baggage was left at the Orn-
dorff hotel and it was confidently ex-
pected that his wife would at least
call or send for her jewelry. Among
their effects are their marriage GER
tificate and several pieces of jewelry,
some of which are valuable. All the
departing trains have been watched
and if the man has left town he failed
to take a train. The officers are still
searching for evidence that will help
to locate him.

Bodies found.

On Saturday the 23rd of last
month a prospector, who was re-
turning to Battle Lake from a
prospecting trip, discovered the
body Of Henry Harrison one of
the men who persisted in the
storm last October. The follow
ing day another man a across
the body of Will Jacobs, the man
who was with Harrison. The
bodies were both in such a de-
composed state that it was impos-
siEle to take them to Battle Lake
so they were buried where they
lay.
AT the time of the storm the
men were within five miles of
Battle Lake and it is thought
they must have tried to reach that
place and after climbing the hill
out of the Snake river country
found the SNOW too deep to go on
and turned back intending to go
back to their camp. The bodies
were separated and it is supposed
Jacobs gave out and laid down
where he died. The body of
Harrison was about 1000 feet far
Their down the trail. Both bodies
are neal the trail where hundreds
of people have passed over this
spring.

Hottest Weather for Years.

The month of June, 1900, will
go down in the history of this
valley as the hottest and dryest
ever known. even by the proven
bal "Old Timer" The thermom-
eter has ranged along in the nine
ty's during the latter half of the
month and but little if any moist
ure has fallen to relieve the parch-
ed condition Of the range, which
is now simply burned up beyond
the hope of resuscitation by rain,
should it come.
Friday, the 29th of June, was
the hottest day of the month, the
government thermometer regis
tering 95 degrees in the shade.
Irrigated crops have done finely
and it is estimated that both
wild hay and alfalfa crops are at
least a month earlier this year.
The water in the river, as well
as in all the small streams, is fall
ing rapidly and by the middle of
the present month many of the
latter will be entirely dry at their
junction with the river.
This continued hot, dry weather
will make fires in the mountains,
to a much greater extent than usu-
al, an almost absolute certainty.
The utmost precaution should be
taken by all p~rospectors, campers
and Others to prevent the spread
ing of fire from their camp fires.
That there Will be some fires goes
without saying, but they should
be kept at Il minimum. A little
extra care will do much toward
keeping fires from getting out and
every one should be on his guard
in this matter.

No Better Platform.

Up to day and date no better
platform has been suggested than
that adopted by the Marion coun-
ty Republican convention. Here
ii is:
"REsoLvED, That the transition
from deficits in peace to SURPRISES
in war; from bond issuing to
bond paying; from hopeless to
happy farmers; from men hunt
ing jobs to jobs hunting men;
from soup houses to banquet ta-
bles; from poverty to prosperity,
is not the result of accident or
chance of famine in India, but is
the result of having a party in
power that knows how to run the
country and command its conf
dence.".-Ex.

Get Ready for a Fire.

The town of Saratoga has en-
joyed immunity from the fire
fend almost from the day of its
birth down to the present time.
judging from the appearance of
the streets, alleys and vacant lots
in this town We cannot hope to
escape from a visit from fire much
longer. Alleys and vacant lots,
store fronts and backs are mad,
the dumping grounds Of old pa
pars, debris swept from the stores
and taken from packing boxes.
If a fire ever gets started in the
business portion of the town the
result is sure to be all entire WHIP
ing out of many, if not all of that
part of the town.
Fires are bound to come, sooner
or later, but their coming can be
delayed by cleaning up and cart
ing the garbage to some safe place.
Why not do this now before you
are burned out? When you have
read this article go out and take a
look around and see how many
places there are near you, into
which some thoughtless or careless
person we're to drop a lighted
match, the result would be dis
aster. An ounce of preventative
is worth a pound of cure and il
costs much less. Better lay in a
few ounces while you can.
