STOLZENBACH IS HOME
From the Gold Mining Regions
Of Mexico.
SIMONDS IN CHARGE OF CAMP
Found Rich Placer Mines-.-Turner's S

ventures.

w. L. Stolzenbach, who, with other
Cantonians, went to Sonora. Mexico,
several weeks ago to prospect for gold
and other precious metals, returned to
Canton Friday night. He was enthusi-
astic over the prospects of the venture.
Mr.. Stolzenbach was seen at the Of
flee of Attorneys Webber and Turner
Saturday forenoon. Scattered about
the office were sacks containing quartz
and gold bearing rocks According to
Mr. Stolzenbach'a story, the clay in
that section IL also impregnated with
gold, and in support of this, he brought
as a present to Mr.. II. F. Turner an
earthen bowl made by the Yacqua In
dians which had flecks of gold all
through it. It had been kim burned
and is a nice piece of work.
The prospectors, after reaching Mex
leo, had a number of thrilling adven-
lures. They were in q railroad wreck
in which their sleeper was ditched, but
fortunately none of them was seriously
injured.
They did not linger long in the towns,
but struck out into the wilds of Mex
leo, where they expected to find min
eral wealth. They established a camp
and Immediately began prospecting.
While making the trip overland the
wagon was drawn by team of demure-
looking Mexican broncoa The driver
was not making very good time. Mr.
and determined that there should be a
change of drivers. He selected j. A.
Simonds, the jolly proprietor of the
Barnett house. to handle the ribbons
Simonds grasped the lines and con-
cluded that he would awaken the flea
bitten gray on the off-side. A few
Yankee expletives and a punch or two
in the ribs developed the fact that those
meek looking nags were like some of
the grim mountains of that vicinity
slumbering volcanoes.
1t Is thought that the mild oaths of
the northerner grated harshly upon the
tympanums that had been accustomed
TO the oratory of greasers.
At any rate there was an exhibition OF
high kicking that would have aroused
the envy of a soubrette. Then the run
ming began.
At the first kick. Stolzenkach de
serted the rig. but Simondc. stuck to the
horses till they finally got loose from
the wagon.
1t was hours before that team was
corralled and placed back into the har-
ness. They were 25 miles from no
where. or they would not have been
pursued at all.
Mr.. Stolzenbach returned alone to
Canton. The camp was left In charge
of Mr.. Simopds. The developing of their
claims will be pushed rapidly.
The country Is said to be rich not
only in gold but In silver, copper and
lead. e 5
No company has yet been organized

bryo. and until the organization moth
