MYSTERY IS CLEARED
BONES OF OLD PROSPECTOR ON
DESERT.
Strange Disappearance of Famous
ProspectOr Explained After Thirty
Seven Years of Mystery.

After thirty-seven years of mystery
the strange disappearance of Abner
Lee, the notorious old prospector who
discovered the famous Lee silver mine,
seventy miles northeast of San Berna-
dino. Cal, has at last been solved.
Lee was the most famous prospector
of his time. In 1865 he located those
claims known as the Lee mines, which
subsequently brought a fortune of 81,
600, 600 to GOV. r. w. Waterman of Cal
ifornia. Soon after discovering these
rich silver properties he disappeared
into the desert and was never seen
again. A great deal of excitement was
occasiOned by Lees withdrawal from
the world, and it was suggested more
than once that he had been fOully done
away with by INSCRIPTIONS persons
who wished to gain possession of his
property. Others thought the Piute
Indians, who then raided the desert,
had killed him and burned the remains.
Now the riddle has been solved and
the skeleton of old Abner Lee, the
bones of his burros, his ''washpan,"
and an old mining pick bearing his
name on the handle have been found in
the Devils playground by Jim Moran,
a desert freighter plying between Fen
ner, on the Sante Fe road, and Resting
Spring Branch at the head of Death
valley. The shifting sands which COW
cred Lee have given back their dead,
the miners are cleared of obloquy and
the bones of the prospector have been
given decent burial on the crystalline
shores of Soda lake.
According to Lees story at the time
land this was subsequently Verified),
there were vast lodges of surface ore
in sight of precisely the same quality
h. iEl, 10, lima hp
brought in on his burros. He was very
secretive about the location of his
mine, and those whom he took into his
confidence were under strict pledge to
revel nothing.
Among these was r. W. Waterman,
who afterward became governor of
California. Mr.. Waterman was at that
time a struggling lawyer. For ten
years after Lees disappearance moth
ing was heard of the properties. Then
a big expedition was organized in san
BernandinO to search for the aban-
doned claims, Under the guidance of
two prospectors, who claimed to know
something of the locality and who had
heard where lay the Lee silver, the
party went almost Immediately to the
mines.
But upon their arrival they found
| Waterman guarding the property with
a Winchester rifle. He had been in
/ possession for two hours He had
driven out to the claims in a buck
board For more than fifteen years
Waterman held a controlling interest
in the Lee mines, and it is estimated
that during that time more than 81,
600, 900 in ore was taken out.
Dark hints We're cast in regard to
/ Waterman by those who considered he
must have known the locality. Now
the finding of Lees body clears the
air. The ex-governor has been dead
several years. Since the depreciation
of silver bullion the mines have been
idle, but the old story of Abner Lees
is often repeated by the desert pros
pectOrs.

Carmack, Bishop ThOburn expressed the
opinion that the Philippines people are now

he said that there is now an attendance of
H. 600 people at the Methodist Church in
Manila and that both in that city and the
outlying provinces it was almost impossible
TO meet the demand for teachers and
preachers. Bishop Thoburn said that he
visited Manila for two weeks in March,

week.
