H. A. Bomberger, of the White
Tanks Mining Company, which
company has lately taken over the
Wickenburg Smelter, was in Wick
enburg this week. He has had an
assayers' room constructed and is
now making general Improvements
about the works. The smelter will
be blown in shortly. All the good
that has been hoped for by Wick
enburgers from the smelter will yet
be realized. The financial ability
OF the new company is such as to
warrant it's success. This entire
mineral belt will be aided and
stimulated by the successful oper-
alton of the smelter. The company
is advertising it's enterprise in most
of the papers of the Territory.
This gives Wickenburg some free
advertising and the people of the
section can we'll afford to help an
enterprise which will keep the pub
lie looking our way. Let every
one who has ore that will pay to
smelt see to it that the smelter is
well supplied. If the smelter fails
to run for want of ore, it will be a
long time before the prospectors OF
the vicinity will have another op-
portunity of proving that they
have smelling ores. Seize this
golden opportunity before it is too
late.

AN UNMARKED GRAVE
Causes a Bad Quarter
of an Hour
FOR THE SURVEYING PARTY
And Coroner Hall, but 1t Proved
to Be Only the Burying Place
of a Defunct Indian Brave
FOR THE SURVEYING PARTY

Mr. Hesse and his party of sur
veyors, aided by Judge Hall OF
Congress, did their best to furnish
this community with a sensation
this week. The surveyors made
the discovery of newly made
grave west of Martinez, about three
miles. \ light wagon had drawn
the corpse and the undertakers to
lonely spot near what is called
the Point of Rocks. A deep grave
had been made and a. nice mound
of dirt thrown up up over the last
resting place of some forlorn tray
eler to that bourne whittier we are
all drifting. No funeral note had
been sounded, no orchestral strains
had attended: no one seemed to
know anything about a man hav-
ing died.
Now, it happens that the world
is full of suspicious people, in
fact, we are suspicious when it
comes to finding new grave with
nothing to tell who lies there at
rest. We suspicion that his last
moments have been. anything but
restful. 1t was figured by the wise
ones and those who are versed in
criminal hunting that the grave
had been made just about payday
at Congress, which took place on
the 10th. Several drunken spats
oAlminor Importance had taken
NICE and it was thought that per-
haps some of them had been of
aajor importance, and that the re-
suit of it lay in the gra e to the
west of town.
Accordingly Judge III, who
has held many inquests In this sec
ton of the country upon grewsome
finds, hired rig and drove out to
the, lonely cemetery, accompanied
by the surveying force as jury.
They were armed with sbovels, and,
as they went along, the cOnversa-
tion was of a morose nature. Some
said that it might be the unfortu-
nate George Stillman, who has puz-
zIed the community by his myster-
ious, but perhaps enforced, silence.
All the boys had varying opinions
as to what would be the result of
the investigation, but they were all
agreed that the task on which they
were bent was anything but a
pleasant one.
But the grave was reached and
opened and the remains viewed
The pronunciamento, hastily made,
was that the dead man was a Mex
lean. A pair of working shoes
were found in the grave beside the
dead, a coat and vest was there,
and on the coat was campaign

when the upper bottle was empty the
frame was reversed. Twelve short
