LOST ON THE DESERT.
Jack Shea Nearly Perishes Near White Hills.

Last Friday party of Jerome min.
ing men left White Hills to examine a
mine in the Mount Wilson country
near the Colorado river. When out
about eight miles in the desert, on the
Bonelli Ferry road, they found man
suffering from want of food and water.
He had stripped off all his clothing
and dug a hole in the sand in his de.
lirium, and was so far gone that he
would have probably perished in a few
more hours under the broiling sun.
After administering few drops of
water the party loaded him into the
wagon aud returned to White Hills
where measures were taken to revive
him. Today Saturday his mind il
still wandering but he can now partake
of refreshment aud is in fair way tc
recover. He was recognized by one OF
the party as Jack Shea who has a
brother who is saloon keeper il
Jerome. He tells an incoherent story
of someone taking his canteen away
from him. HE says he had nothing t.
eat since Monday and no water from
Wednesday forenoon until found OF
Friday morning. The desert abou
White Hills has been prolific in furn
ishing victims of death by thirst, anc
but for the timely arrival of this min
ing party another would be added t,
the list.

Last Wednesday morning the town
of Chloride experienced one of the
greatest rains in its history. The wa
ter ran down through gulch in the
lower part of town 10 perfect torrent
and flooded several of the buildings.
A heavily loaded team tried to cross
the gulch and was caught by the food,
overturned and one of the horses
drowned while the contents of the
wagon was carried into the valley be-
low. The water took out several sec
tions of the grade of the Arizona and
Utah railroad and repairs have not yet
been completed. Hacks run to the end
of the line, two miles from town and
transfer passengers and freight. Near
Mineral Park the water also fell ia
torrents and teams had to await the
subsistence of the foods at all the
washes running into the valley. Lit
tie damage was done aside from the
railroad washout.

Mrs. Colt, who has Leen a county
pensioner for many years and whose
residence is Signal, set fire to her house
in that town last Saturday night and
together with it's contents was entirely
destroyed. The woman after starting
the fire took to the brush and remained
there all night, leading the people TO
believe that she had perished in the
flames. She is undoubtedly insane
and will be brought to Kingman aud
her sanity inquired into. The woman
claims to be lis years of age and she IL
possessed of considerable money which
she has buried some place near her
home. In the early days Of Signals
prosperity the old lady made a great
deal of money washing and mending
for the miners and has never spent her
earnings foolishly. .......

Perished from Thirst.

About three years ago Mr.. Roberts,
father of Mrs. James Halsey, of Nee.
dies, left that place with the intention
of going to the Lealand mine, in the
Boundary Cone country, since which
time he has never been heard from.
About ten days ago Walter Hawkins
was out In the vicinity of the Olive
Oatman mine and found satchel in
one of the canyons and some distance
away found vest and pair of over
alls. Near the overalls he found the
bones of human being. Opening the
satchel he found letter from Mona.
ghan Il Murphy to Steve Bedell, rec
ommending Mr.. Roberts, the bearer as
a good worker, etc. From this it is
taken that the unfortunate man had
lost his way in the canyons of the
Arizona side of the river and had wan
dered aimlessly about until his water
gave out and died from thirst. The
weather at the time of his disappear
ance was very warm, but the relatives
of the deceased believed he had been
murdered by the Indians and that hi:
body had been thrown into the Colora
do river. A few dollars in money was
found in the pockets of the overall'
and also a watch. In the satchel was ;
loaf of bread that looked as though il
had just come from the bakers. De
ceased was man we'll along in year.
and had never been in a desert coun
try prior to his trip to Bedell's mines
Mr.. Hawkins has taken possession o
the things found near the remains anC
will turn them over to the relatives
Thus another mystery of the desert ha
been cleared up.

II was a grand thing for this com,
munity that such an enterprising firm
as FL. II. Watkins secured the Agency

it has doomed their business, as the de-

lively guarantee it to cure Coughs,

II is reported that there is pros
pect of the Gold Road and the other
mines in that vicinity being taken
over by Los Angeles syndicate and a
mammoth plant installed on the Col
orado river to handle the ores. The
Gold Road now has twelve feet of ore
in sight in the crosscut at the bottom
of the deepest shaft and wherever a
crosscut has been run anywhere on the
vein i'm mense bodies of ore have been
cut. The two shafts are more than
tour hundred feet apart and the same
grade of ore is exposed in each. II is
stated that an estimate Of the ore in
sight in the group places it near the
million mark. The other mines to go
into the deal also show wonderful ore
bodies of free milling ores. Many
other mines can be made productive
IL big milling plant be installed
where ores can be milled at moderate
cost, and in this way San Francisco
mining district will become one of the
most productive in the county.

The recent sales of turquoise mines
at Mineral Park has caused the people
of that vicinity to vigorously prospect
for deposits of the gem. In their en-
deavor to get the best there has been
several infringements on the locations
of others and suits at law are in fair
state of development. There surely
ought to be enough ground in that
country to go round without quarrel
ing over it and we would advise the
locators to go slow, as lawsuits cost
money.

While sinking on the San Francisco
mine, Cedar Valley, body of ore was
encountered that gave results of one
dollar and fifty cents a pound. The
mine has an immense body of ore
opened up and with the proper method
of working will become a great pro.
ducer. The mine has been under the
management of c. d. Pickering for a
year or more past and a great deal of
development work has been done. The
mill now In use at the mine Is not
adapted to the ore and new plant will
probably be installed. Among mining
men the mine is regarded as one OF
the best properties In Arizona.

Miss Ethel Kent met a peculiar
death at her fathers camp on Bill

man by the uame of Bert Ohmertz had
gone from the camp dove shooting and
when he returned leaned his gun
against rock. The young lady ac-

and it was discharged, the contents
tearing away the greater part of one
foot. She was taken to Congress, but
the wound was fatal and she died

tragedy so prayed upon the mind of
young Ohmertz that he committed

one of the best known miners in Ari-

Goodwin had lived in Jerome for many

John Goodwin was born in Scotland,
but came to this country when but a
small boy. He mined in many of the
camps of the Pacific coast, but the
greater part of his life was spent in the
southwest. At one time he was coun-
! ty recorder of San Bernardino county,
California, and at the time of his death
was a member of the Hedges Miners
/ Union. He was also a member of the
order of Odd Fellows.
