RELIC OF ORfGON'S
WILD AND WOOLLY DAYS

Oscar Schaffer, a prominent sheep
man Of Monument. while riding up a
gulch recently few miles from his
ranch, discovered the feet and leg
bones of human skeleton and near
them he also found an old fashioned
pair of spurs, Uf type worn In this
country twenty-five or thirty years
ago. They were hand made and had
rowels about five inches In diameter
and were provided with bells and
chains almost large enough for log
chains. These grewsome relics were
found just after hard rain and are
supposed to have been washed out of
the bank near by. Further search.
however, failed to reveal the remain
der of the SKELETON. In this same
gulch; but several hundred yards
further down, a human skull, several
ribs aud sections Of backbone were
found two years ago, which are sup
posed to be part Of the same skel-
eton as those discovered this spring.
This instance recalls to the minds
of the old settlers of Monument the
mysterious disappearance of cattle
buyer, who suddenly disappeared from
that country about twenty-five years
ago.
Those were the days before the
check system came into vogue, and
the cattle buyer was known to have
had several thosuand dollars In cash
on his person. lie disappeared very
suddenly one day and was never heard
of again.
There was suspicion at the time
that he had been foully dealt with,
aud many of the old settlers are now
firm In their belief that he was mur-
dered for his money, and the bones
found are part of his body.
Those were wild and woody days in
eastern Oregon, and II the trees and
rimrocks of that canyon could but
speak they could probably tell the
story of one of the foulest deeds that
ever darkened the pages of western
history. But as they are dumb the
story of the murder of the lone horse
man in the dark and lonesome gulch
on the North Fork of the John Day

At the beginning Of the eighteenth b
dynasty. fifteenth century b. CO.,
when Thutmosis had e-conquered
Nubia, the mines had evidently been
re. e.opened. for Il Is recorded that the
III. Thutmosis was In receipt of an

pounds Of gold.
The Turin papyrus, brought by
Drovetti from Thebes, dates from the
nineteenth dynasty fourteenth CEN
tury b. c.. It describes mines then
existing in the Wady Atika (now the
Wady AIlagi), and is accompanied
by map which is probably the old
est known cartographicsl effort in ex.
istence. The mine is said to have
been opened under King Setos l.
(l36O B. O., who is also credited
with the discovery of other mines
In the Wady Allagi, and said to have
constructed broad road therefrom
to the river Nile. A we'll sunk by
this king along the route was aban-
doned at 100 feet, having failed to
discover water; but on sinking being
resumed by his son, Rameses the
Great, water was struck mt 900 feet.

wealth of ancient Egypt at this date.
we may quote Diordorus. who states
on the authority of Hecateus that a

the gold and silver mines mt (to?)
that time as reaching the incredible
amount of s32, 900, 900 Of minae. a
sum equal to fl33. 600, 600 sterling.
The Harris papyrus, now in the
British museum, dates from the
dynasty, and makes refer

Rameses Ill thirteenth century Is.
c. 1t describes the gifts in gold
made by that king to the cities and
temples of Egypt, and here also the
amounts named appear fabulous,
although they may safely be consid-
cred to indicate IA period of great
productiveness in the mines.
With the fall OF the twentieth
