OLD WALKING CHARLEY.
A Prospector Who Has Travelled for
 Thirty-Fiye Years.
From the Phoenix Gaeztte.l

From the Phoenix Gaeztte-l
 Walking Charley" one of the best known prospectors on the Pacific coast, arrived in Phoenix yesterday, his first visit for some years. He has travelled over every state and territory in the Uaited States and has driven a burro from British Columbia to the Gulf of Mexico, and has prospected in every country where mineral is found, and to-day, after thirty-five years of incessant travel, during which time he has located some of the worlds great est mines, his worldly possessions con sist of a burro. The old prospector is rugged and hearty, but sixty years is more than the average life of man, and this sturdy old metal hunter is near ing the divide in the span of life. R. J. 0rton is his proper name and he is a New York man by birth, but away back in the fifties he came west and he has toiled on the western side of the big river ever since. He was one of the discoverers of the famous Ukiah miLe in Utah; he was with George Warren when the great Copper Quet D of Bisbee was located. He has located hundreds of rich paying mines, yet to-day he is penniless. He has sold all of his rich prospects for trifie and then moved on looking for others. In speaking with Gazette reporter yesterday Charley said he loved the excitement of his calling. He likes to sleep where he can look at the stars and think that God is as kind to him in his blankets and his abundant health as he is to the rich man in his mansion without health. The old man has no grievance; he is a philo O. pher in his way and believes that we all get what we earn. Walking Char ley will leave to-day for the Silver King, which place he makes his home when not on the move.
