CONE TO SEARCH FOR FABULOUS
 WEALTH.
Three Prescott Men Leave for Yuoa- tan. Central America. to Locate
 Golconda.

One of the most interesting CSpedi- tions ever organized for the purpose of solving the recovery of the yellow metal, is that which was perfected in Prescott last week. and so far as the preliminary work is to be considered. was practically concluded. IL was chystaIlized by the departure of r. !. Mitchell, Jake Schwab. and John Brick son for the state of Yucatan. in Cen tral America. and thither this trio of determined men are now moving
 The inducement that takes these men to this far away and inviting re- zion is due to the representations made by Mir Schwab. and though it is but a thread in the long link that leads 10 fabulous wealth in gold galore, Messrs. Mitchell and Erickson have faith enough in the credibility of the former to stake their lives and their money in Venturing to the scene where the Fl Dorado lies.
 The story is fascinating. but no more so than are the oft told tales of he Adams digging. the Lost French man, or the Niger Ben deposits that gre cached in secrecy even to this day. Mir Schwab has told the story. and two men believe him. and will support him to find what he says was reliably told aim by a principa! in the transaction Briefly he states that while in New Orleans less than two years ago he met a former resident of Yucatan. and the latter confided in him by saying that he was the discoV- erer of free gold ore of such vast rich ness that it seemed almost incredible. and al the same time he proved to MT. Schwab that it was reliable by dis playing over S17.000 of the metal that he had smuggled out of the country Furthermore, he detailed the story of how the metal was discovered, and gave a minute description of the sec ton in which it was in existence. The discoyerer also stated that he was to leave for Yucatan in a few days, hay ing chartered a sailing vessel out Of his own pocket with which to land him self on the coast at the nearest point 10 where this ore laid.
 Presumably the man sailed at the time be stated he would, but up 10 the present time no word or tidings what ever have ever been heard of him, and it is or the belief that he has been ktllCu UT nd5 ptEtSuCu LtldL lEdAAS NAA Schwab and his friends to act and act at once. MT. Schwab is very emphat- ic in his expressions, and barring but one obstacle, that of the prevailing fever which seiZes the unacclimated TO that region, believes that the search inaugurated will be a magnificent re- ward to all of them.
 The party that left Prescott last week outfitted at New Orleans. and il is their intention to leave the latter city this week. They will go direct to the coast of Yucatan on the Atlantic side and expect after a weeks travel ing inland to arrive at the spot desig' mated by MT Schwab, as it was told him by the original locator. Barring accidents. trouble with the natives who are wild and hostile. and sickness, they expect to accomplish their mis- sion inside of six weeks from the day they sail from New Orleans. in fact that being the time they expect 10 con sume whether successful or not.
 The section picked out by these explorers is the home of the Cibeas Indians. around whom cluster tradi tions Of the wealth of gold that is simply fascinating and remarkable Prescott. the historian, and after whom Prescott. Arizona, derives its name was a vivid writer on the reasonable ness of the representations of wealth stored by these Indians for genera tions gone, and in accord with this belief English explorers have been for over haIs a century endeavoring tC successfully close the gap between anticipation and realization by the ex penditure annually of thousands of dol lars in keeping many parties in the field searching for the yellow meta that is believed to be of gigantic pro portions.
 The party is being financed by Mir Mitchell who for over two years hai been developing a promising prospec in the Lynx creek section. A shor
