He begun 70 get better at once and now feels that he is practically in good health agaa and enjoying ranch life. It should be mentioned here that there is a little ostrich farm near Mr. McKinnon's ranch. where some forty chicks are being cared for He has seen many ostriches wild in Africa and dealt in their feathers, so the environment or his present home is very pleasing ana he spends much time at the farm watching these peculiar birds.
 The reader is perhaps anxious at this time to know the fate of Godshal. He was kept a prisoner for two years and when he finally got in a position to take up the thread of his personal affairs he learned that McKinnon had to die. He later learned of the death of a man of the same name in San Fran
 cisco. He decided to quit the country so he converted all his holdings and ali the partnership property he was caring for into cash. subject to the approval ct McKinnon, if he should be found, or of his administrator in case his death was proved, and sailed for San Fran cisco. He knew the life insurance agent McKinnon had insured with and on arrival he hunted him up. learned that the man who had died in San Francisco was not his friend but of very similar name, and then he learned that his friend and partner had gone to Phoenix. He did not stop ro write or telegraph but took the first train for Phoenix Even after he go, to Phoenix he couldn't put his hand on his friend without deal of hard work It was a February Sunday or holiday so he could not locate him through the postoffice.

A WONDERFUL DEPOSIT
Stratum of Earth Near Nogales That
 Is Good for Everything.

Casual mention by I. G. King. man ager of the Prudential Mining and De- velopment company, in relation to q channel that crosses the south ern part of Arizona. extending southerly toward the Gulf of Califor- mia, led your correspondent to question him for some data in relation to the phenomena which brought to ligh; some interesting evidences of the pos abilities of development at some future period an industry that will be made of no small commercial value. says a correspondent of the Nogales Vidette. This deposit. in its pres ent state for excavation is so solid at the depth of a few feet that blasting would be necessary but is of such a nature that when exposed to dampness and the atmosphere it becomes pow- der resembling sand which has been ground down to its finest possible smoothness, a partial analysis of which gives 62 per cent of silica, some iron, a good percentage of aluminium, some gold value and no doubt many others of the natural minerals of the earth that might have been emitted in the fumes and vapor as volatile and in sol ution which coming in conts ct with their natural precipitating agents fell back to the earth's surface and wash ed down through this great channel of unknown depths and as the waters re- ceded undoubtedly the original outlet became suddenly closed by an eruptive disturbance which impounded the sedi- ment.
 One of the most peculiar character istics and qualities of this earth is that when properly burned or roasted the dark gray powder obtains. When ground in boiled lnseed oil it produces q beautiful black paint, carrying. when dry, the gloss of an enamel and at the same time seems to be a sufficient body for covering without the aid of other agents.
 There are other possibilities for this natural resource already sufficiently developed to operate on for production. As polishing powder 30 per cent of the matter would outrival much of such substance as is now on the mar ket. As a plaster it is also qualified with little or no other preparation. As a cement it can undoubtedly be made to fill the place after some preparation. For pressed brick and hardened by the modern steam process to the natural stone specialization, which is done In twenty-four hours, would stand the elements for ages as building material. There are also possibilities for it's ad- vent into beautiful marble slabs, pill lars. mantels, etc, also for the manu- facture of paper as one of it's ingredi- ents While it contains a certain amount of aluminium it is perfectly free to be washed of certain objectionable particles which the substance may con- tain detrimental for any purpose. This body of natures great store house of commercial possibilities crosses this country not more than five miles from Nogales.

MOHAVE COUNTY MINES
The Dem psey and O'Dea Strike Is Get.
 ting Bigger.

The recent strike in the western part of Mohave county is said not to be as rich as at first reported. and that many miners who went there have come away disappointed.-Arizon Bulletin.
 If the foregoing refers to the DemD- sey & O'Dea strike, and it apparently does, there was never anything so misleading, says the Chloride Arrow While it is true that there have been no other strikes of importance in the immediate vicinity, the richness of the one reported in this paper week or so ago is great deal more than was claimed for it. At the bottom oi a ten-foot hole the ere completely fills the shaft. of a very high grade in gold. At another place crosscut on the surface shows ore extremely rich for twelve feet in width Wednesday night one of the most conservative of men, and a qualified expert reported the new discovery as one of the biggest prospects he had seen in the country All the reliable reports from there bea, out this testimony. It is hardly fair to knock district without at least a partial investigation. This paper makes a special point of not making exagger- ated reports and the results obtained from the strike nine miles west of Chloride have all the earmarks of one of the richest gold mines in northern Arizona

A TALE OF THREE CONTINENTS
How Two Friends Separated in South
 Africa Were Re-UnlCed in Phoenix.

M. D. McKinnon, living on a little and James C. Godshall of Douglas. Ariz.. are the principals in an inter- esting story of history and adventure covering the last eleven years, the scenes being laid in three continents. The denouement of the story occurred only few weeks ago and its nature .s beautiful illustration of a faithful friendship while many incidents are in part set forth in the records of the Boer war. There is also in the story an element of the Sherlock Holmes school of reasoning by deduction, in the methods MT. Godshall employed for the unraVeling of 2 mystery.
 In 1892 MesSrs. Godshau and McKin- non left San Francisco for South Af- rica to seek their fortunes in that land, then most alluring by newspaper ac- counts of its mines and it's opportuni- ties for men of energy. Godshall is 2 contractor by trade but he can do most anything that may come to his hand. McKinnon sought wealth first along commercial lines, engaging in the hay, grain and timber business at Johannes burg. But they were both partners in whatever either undertook. The rail- | road was then no further north than Johannesburg, though these partners had gone overland on a tour of inspec- tion as far north as Bulawayo, a town | of perhaps 10000 inha bitants, and 600 miles distant. They returned to Jo- | hannesburg, where they were at the l time of the Jameson raid. After the | raid they went to BulaWayo, where MT. | Godshall secured a contract for the erection of a fine hospital and the Cecil | Rhodes library, one of the finest public | buildings in South Africa. MT McKin- non in the meantime had engaged In
 the business of freighting with OK teams, between Bulawayo and Mafe-
 king, as well as some other enterprises, but whatever each turned his hand to | the other was considered a partner In his fortune.
 | Finally the war broke out. Thougf: these men went to Africa imbued with | the idea that they were going to a re- public where things would seem to some extent natural and nere some measure of political free dom would
 obtain, they soon became aware | that the word republic" was I
 a misnomer in respect of South
 Africa, and affiliated themselves
 with those of English sentiment Therefore when MT. McKinnon and his
 wagon train reached Mafeking on 2

 getting the freight consigned to him for the interior, before the blockade Sc, In, he found himself boxed up with General Baden-Powell. for General

knows much about it except one who was there and helped it to happen.
 Among the things that MT McKin- non tells about is the way they all had to live in holes like prairie dogs for several months and as a result OF which he is in Phoenix for the recuper- alton of his health. A description or that incident includes relation of the wonderful electrical engineering ability of a young American, through whose shrewdness the garrison at MafekIns was able to hold out till relieved. This young man in the first place built false forts that fooled the enemy both as to their strength and the strength of the garrison. Then they dug caves in the ground. which they lived in most of the time, only venturing out when the pickets told them it was safe, ana what they lived on was most anything they could find that they had not eaten up the day before. But the peculiar virtue of this young engineers genius was exhibited in the construction of an electric signal system which was op- erated by wires running from these underground retreats to the picket lines 
 ever the viewpoint was for observing the enemy.
 The particular diversion with which General Cronje entertained the Eng fish in Mafeking was the frequent firing into the city. of q gun shooting little pellets that only weighed ninety pounds or so apiece. This became very annoying to Baden-Powell, especially as his men persisted in getting in front of them. After the American referred to had laid his signal system the men on the picket line by closely watching operations could tell about when a gun was to be fired and when the signal was given the people of the city ducked into their holes
 At the end of all this amusement when Mafeking was finally relieved and Cronje had been captured at Modder river, MT. McKinnon found himself en- tertaining a severe case of Blac ackwater fever. very fatal in that country. He was finally sent to Bulawayo hospital which had been built by his partner, and who in the meantime had been made a prisoner by the Boers at Johan- nesburg. After four months in the hos pital McKinnon was told by his doctor that his only hope for recovery lay In
 going to the south of France for eli matic benefits. The war was still rag ing between there and the cape bu, eventually he got passes and orders to commandants permitting him to pass through the country, and started for the cape with small hope of ever reach ing there alive. But fortune favored
 him, and. lodging the bubonlc plague which was then raging at Cape Town, he set out for England with the com forting prediction of the friends who bade him good bye that he would never live to make the voyage. But he did i live through it. went from England to France and from France back to Eng | land and into the highlands of Scot land, where he remained some time ana
 recovered a measure of his health. He | decided though that he could never ge;
 well till he could once more breathe
 the pure free air of America, so las. summer he came back to San Fran cisco, the place he started from ten years before. He did not like the ell

but MT. McKinnon is not the sort tie police keep tab on. He inquired dili- gently but could find no one in town who knew his partner. And here comes the Sherlock Holmes part of the story. He heard some one say some thing about an ostrich farm. He req soned that if there was an ostrich and a former resident of South Africa in this part of the world they would nat urally be found in ccmpanionship. So he visited the ostrich farms till he came to the little one north of towc. inquiring for his friend McKinnon. At the latter place they said, Why. cer- tainly, he comes here nearly every day and lives just over yonder."
 He went lover wonder" but before he reached the farmhouse his old partner who was standing in the yard saw him coming, recognized him and ran to meet him.
 Their business was finished up in about fifteen minutes. Godshalfs ar engagements were all acquiesced in by McKinnon and two hours later a cable gram was hiking across the water to their agents in South Africa that every thing was all right. MT. McKinnon is satisfied to let well enough alone and is sticking to the Salt River valley. MT. Godshall hearing things about Douglas after he got here went down there, looked around, said it was the liveliest place he had found since get ting back to this country and he is now building some houses, preparing to shoot the financial chutes in the Doug las boOm that is now rolling in at high tide.

friends would have, at no time, been surprised to learn of my death. It was all due to kidney trouble, for which l could secure no relief. I was under the care of my family physician for g. number of years, but he was unable to do me any good. I also consulted two noted specialists on kidney dis eases, but they were unable to give me more than temporary relief had already made application to join the army, but was turned down on account of my bad physical con- dition.
