Bisbee daily review., 1905-12-03

tiently he tolls on, and when pros perity comes at last. he lavishes bis hard-earned money or divides it free ly with his friends. Nowhere do you find a more kind-hearted and gen erous people than the miner. His greatest characteristic is generosity, and this characteristic is being hand ed down from generation to genera tion. Many a noble heart beats in the bosom of the sturdy miner and his intelligence demands our respect. Arizona owes to him the prosperity she is now enjoying.
 Our own immediate vicinity is not without it's share of early history. Tn and around our own Bisbee were many happenings which might prove of interest to not few of us.
 You all know, no doubt the story of the discovery of the c. o. mines by Geo. Warren-how he bartered one half interest in these famous mines ir a horse race and lost, also the sub sequent founding of our own town So 1 will not at this time go into de- tail. We know that we are living in the greatest and most prosperous city in the Southwest, and we owe it all to Geo. Warren.
 The story of the discovery of the mines and the founding of Tombstone l is also an oft told story and a repeti- | tion is not necessary. The discovererr Ed Shiefflin made provision in his will for the burial of his body on tha spot where he camped when he To- cated these wonderful mines. He died in Oregon alone, in a cabin. | His wishes were carried out and Mar GUS A. Smith, delegate to Congress succeeded in having an Act passed | through Congress setting aside twen- ty acres as a park for the purpose of preserving his tomb.
 An old-timer and still a resident of Bisbee told me of the terrible earthquake which visited our section in May of 'S7. This gentleman told me he was in Sulphur Springs Valley at the time with large herd of cat tie. The shock came about noon, previous to the shock the cattle start 1 ed to stampede, when the earth began | to tremble each one lay calmly down, | seeming to know that something was about to happen. The shock was preceded by loud roaring as of can non, immediately the ground opened i in a zig-zag fashion, and hot muddy water burst forth. this lasted but a second or two when the opening in- stantIy closed again. Yet few of these cracks still remain to tell us of the awful happening.
 | A Bisbee miner told me that he was in the Copper Queen mine at the time of this shock and that the un- | lo ,sv sy, describabIe
 greatly from this earthquake but it was not, however, the cause of its desertion as has been often told.
 In the old graveyard in Bisbee stands a monument bearing the fol- lowing inscription: Sacred to the
 memory of Wm. Daniels, Killed by Apaches, June 5. 1885," Daniels was an officer of the law and was murder ed in the discharge of his duty, hay ing gone to the mouth of the canyon leading away from our city, to warn a family of the Apaches, who were in this vicinity, he was met by the
 band and killed. The report soon
 reached Bisbee and band of armed citizens went to the scene, his body was found near Forest ranch in his clinched hands were found quantities
 of colored beads, evidences of his
 struggle with the warriors. He was buried in Bisbee and later the above mentioned monument was erected tq his memory by his friends
