NO MYSTERY
 ABOUT SKfLFTCNS

The finding of the two skeletons in the yard in the rear of the residence of Walter Dougls, has stirred the old timers up, and yesterday yellow pages in the book of time were recalled.
 It develops that the men were bur jed near an oak tree during 1878. One is supposed to. be a brother of Colonel Wm. Herring of Tucson, and the oth- CT that of Paddy Dyer. Both were mining men and were in this vicinity in the early days.
 Both of the men died well along in years, and died from natural causes They were buried about the same time. Colonel Herring is said to have come to Arizona on account of the death of his brother.
 Johnny Blair, one of the oldest in habitants in this section, was seen yes terday and asked if he could give any information as to who had been burie.l on the ground now occupied by the residence of Superintendent Walter Douglas In answer to the question MT Blair said:
 There is no doubt in my mind bu; that the bones unearthed Wednesday were those of Joe Herring or Paddy Dyer. who died in Bisbee in 1878, and were buried in the side of the hii now occupied by the superintendent residence.
 The men died of natural causes, du, to an attack of typhoid fever. There were no accommodation in Bisbee 6 that time and through the exposure the disease proved fatal.
 Funeral ceremonies in those day! were not well attended. Probabl! there was not more than a dozen peo pie in the town all told, and the buria was very simple. The men wer' wrapped in their blankets, their bodie' covered with green boughs from th' trees, and with few simple words were laid to rest
 Joe Herring was a miner and pros pector and owned several claims jI this vicinity. He was brother C Col wm Herring, now a resident Q Tucson"
 Speaking of the early days in Bis bee, MT Blair said that in '78 thert were only two small stone cabins ,: Bisbee One stood just below the res idence now occupied by Mayor Muir head, and the other was located o; the site now occupied by Schnieding', jewery store. The inhabitants theI were prospectors and miners and dit -c. ----Sc- ore than a dcze-.

GOT RICH IN
 SPITE OF DECEIT

Though "salting" mines is almost a thing of the past an attempt was made not long ago to deceive a British pur- chaser. The owner now is in fair way to become a millionaire.
 A mining expert named Munsford induced tenderfoot to pay him s1500 for the claim, Later the titles were perfected and development was con- menced By sinking the shaft all trace of gold was lost
 An investigation developed the fact that about s150 worth of fine gold had been shot into the bottom of he shaft. It was supposed to be a free milling ledge fabulously rich in gold.
 The claim is located about fifteen miles west of Moctezuma, Sonora. and the experts who had pronounced it a great bargain returned after the dis covery that it had been ''salted" was made, and advised the owned to dis continue his development work.
 Jack Wilson, a prospector who was in the city yesterday from Sonora, spoke about the matter as follows:
 Tt even deceived some old expe- rienced miners. Munsford evidently had experience at the business and knew what he was about. As soon as he got his cash he fled and so far the rurales have not been able to To- cate him.
 The Englishman was about to abandon the shaft, when a miner ad- vised him to go little deeper, although no pay ore was in sight
 The formation gave promising in dications and the purchaser of the claim finally concluded to spend few dollars more in hopes of striking some- thing. He did so, and at a depth of seventy feet uncovered big ledge that runs forty per cent copper and five ounces of gold to the ton.
 He has now force of men at work and is taking out a large quantity of ore. A company will be formed to work the mine. which it is expected will prove one of the most valuable in the entire district"

WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN
Weather and Crop Conditions Throughout
New England.

Weather and Crop Conditions Throughout
New England.
The weather'of the past week has been
generally typical of the season, although
there were marked extremes in tempera-
ture and the rainfall was deficient. Frosts
occurred in the first part of the period,
and in the last the temperatures during
the day were abnormally high. The
temperature, generally, has been above
the average, and the precipitation below.
Sunshine has, in most sections, been In
excess, and though favorable to some
crops, has been detrimental to others.
The condition of crops is apparently
about normal. While some have been
benefited by the warm weather of the
latter part of the week, others were ma
terially set back by it and the scantiness
of precipitation. Many gardens were
injured by frosts the early part of the
week, and although rain is much needed
in many localities, the general outlook is
good for grain, grass and vegetables.
Grass, in most sections, Is backward,
although its growth was much aided by
the showers of the 10Th, Did, and 25th.
Its condition is, however, probably up to
the average for the season, and, with a
little more rain and an absence of drying
winds, will, with the good start it has,
make good crop.
= Rye and oats are reported as looking
fairly well, except in few places in
Connecticut, where they are somewhat
thin. Corn, in the south, is up, and, In
some Instances cultivated once. In the
central portion. of. the section some that
was up was cut down by the frost that
occurred the first of the week. SilC
corn has not all been put in as yet, eX
cept in portions of the southern states.
The reports regarding the damage done
to, blossoms of trees in nearly iall 10
calities were probably exaggerated, IA
this weeks reports seem to show that
with the exception of some cherries ant
Strawberries, the remainder of the cro]
did not suffer greatly. There is, how
ever, generally-expressed opinion tina
Baldwin apple trees are not blooming a
full as usual. They, as well as other ap
piles in many parts of the United States
have their "off years" Except wher
WluteT-hllleu, DerTleS are lOOhluS well
although strawberries are sOmewha
backward. There is still complaint o
caterpllars in parts of Connecticut, an
especially in Worcester county, Massa
chusetts. Canker worms are doing cor
siderable damage.
Vegetables are doing well, eycep
where the lack of precipitation has re
tarded their growth. Some potatoe
were cut down by frost, as were ais
some beans. In most parts of the di:
trict the drought is affecting all sorts c
garden truck, and all correspondents sa
that more rain is needed for goo
growth. Potato planting in Maine
well under way, the weather having bee
very favorable for the putting in of tn
, seed.
