Henry Wickenburg Passes Away
 Sunday.
(From Tuesdays Daiiy.l

Henry Wickenburg, after whom the town of Wickenburg, fifty miles north west of Phoenix, was named, died on Sunday afternoon, presumably by his own hand. His body was found in a grove between his residence and that of J. W. Etter, about o'clock that evening, by the children of Mir. Etter.
 The residences named are in the su- burbs of Wickenburg, and are a hun dred yards or so apart. MT. Wick enburg has been living for some time past with Mir. and Mrs. w. S. Holland, who, it is said, have taken good care of him, though of late he has been sub ject to attacks of melancholy when he has been wont to look on the gloomy side of life. Sunday afternoon he left the house about l o'clock. the last time he was seen alive as far as known that night.
 When found a little after , o'elock, there was a bullet wound in his right temple. and in his right hand he grasped a calibre revolver. Both the foreinger of his hand and his temple were powder-burned, an evidence of suieide. The bullet did not pass through the head, there being but single wound.
 Mir. Wickenburg has no relatives here, and it is believed his only rela- tive in America is a nephew, who is supposed to live in Omaha. It is un- derstood that he had sister and per haps a brother in the old country. But he enjoyed the personal friendship of all the remaining pioneers of central Arizona, by whom he was held in tine highest esteem and respect. As he was one of the first to settle on the banks of the historic Hassayampa river, when the Hassayampd club of Phoenix was organized, he was made an honorary member.
 MT. Wickenburg was born in Prus- sia Nov. 19, 1919. He served in the Prussian army, after which he lived in Rotterdam for year, and came to the United States in 1s47. In 1851 he shipped as fireman on the steamer Cor tez rounding the Horn and arrived in California in 1852. He found employ ment first at the placer mines at Ophir not far from Auburn. He was quite successful getting together a consider able sum of money. In the early if ties he left the' diggings and with oth CTS dug at Fresno the first artesian well in California. Shortly after that was spread the news of the wonderful gold discoveries in the placer fields around La Paz, on the Arizona side of the Colorado river, considerable dis tance above Yuma.
 MT. Wiekenburg joined a numerous party and came to La PaZ with an Ov- erland train from the coast. Fortune did not favor him in the placer mines. and he went up the river to Bill Will Hams, where there was then small copper camp. He was joined there by a man named Buckskin Smith, and another named Morris. They journey ed up the Bill Williams, and then up the Santa Maria, finally making a more the present town of Congress, and

where mineral prospects seemed to be better. At this point the Indians pointed out to him the mountain known as Rich Hill. and which has been the source of many fortunes. But they were far from any source of supplies, and the camp was broken up, some of the members going in various direc
 tions. Mir. Wickenburg and others continued in a southwesterly direction to Tucson. He entered the govern ment employ there. worked his way
 back to Yuma in charge of an ambu- lance. He kept in mind the story of the Indians about Rich Hill, and as soon as he could, with a man nam ed Douglas, another named P. W. Smith, A. H. Peoples, P. Weaver, and several others, organized an expedi- tion to search for it. To shorten the story, after another side trip to Saea- ton for supplies. the Rich Hill placers were found, and the town of Weaver was founded. There was a great rush and prospecting parties scattered through other gulches. MT. Wieken- burg headed party down the Has sayampa, and on the present site of the Wiekenburg ranch he found some deserted Indian gardens. His provi- sions being low, he harvested their crop and took possession of the land. This was in 1863, and it has been his home ever since, shortly. afterwards a little settlement springing up and be- ing named after him.
 Having heard the tale of two men being found murdered-at a point west of there with a large amount of gold in their possession, MT. Wiekenburg sought for the source of it, and in journey toward the Harqua Halas with two companions named Van Bibber and Greene in October, 1863, discover ed by accident the crOppings of the Vulture mine. His companions had little faith in its value, and left soon after for Tucson Ostensibly for more supplies. but they never returned. In May. 1864, he began working the mine with an arrastra The subsequent story of the mine would make a book of itself, and will not be referred to here other than to say it has produced somewhere in the neighborhOOd of twenty million dollars under the var ious arrangements and mismanage- ments that have been in charge since, and was the source of most of the loose money in circulation in Phoenix in the seventies and eighties. Mir. Wiekenburg built a small mill at Wick enburg, and it was succeeded by larg7 CT ones. He finally sold his interests in the mine for good figure, though less than he should have received, for it is related he was vietimized out of a good share of his interest. He was probably worth at one time $50,000. though it is believed that most of his fortune has been eaten up by unsuc- cessful ventures of later days, and the expenses of advanced age after his ae- tive career was finished. So far as known. he never wanted for anything needful. nor would he in this land that is largely of his own making. but his estate now practically embraces only his meager property holdings in the town of Wickenburg.
 During late years. he has been giv-

MIXED WAR CONDITIONS.

The proverbial fickleness of April weather is scarcely a match to the changeableness of the character of the relationship of the European powers towards one another, as reported in the dispatches we are daily receiving from the centers of political activity in the Old World. On Sunday we were sagely informed by a London cores pendent of the New York Sun that the Moroccan situation was straining the relations of Germany toward France and England near to the breaking point The Kaiser's interference with the AngloFrench program in Morocco was described as involving the possibility of war, in which Eng land and France would be allied against Germany. It Is assumed that France has been given a free hand by England to establish a protectorate over Morocco, corresponding with the one she herself exercises over Egypt. and that if the republic persists in the effort to carry out its plans, Germany is prepared to resist this development to the point of war, if necessary.
 'War. if it should come,' adds this sage prophetof evil, "would certainly see France and England in the same camp.' Indeed, he seems to think that war or peace between these ma tions depends upon the German Chan cellor's speech in the Reichstag, or on what the Kaiser will have to say at Gravelotte this week. From this imaginative newsmonger's viewpoint, i, a war cloud was visible on the Euro pean horizon on Saturday, in which France and England would be ar rayed against Germany.
 On Monday the scene of interna tional discord and probable conflict was shifted by the London Times, according to yesterdays dispatches, from Morocco to the IndO-China coast, and possibility of a war growing out of it was outlined with an entirely new alignment of the powers. According to the Times, the French federation of the breaches of neutrality by the Rus sian fleet in the waters of the Indo China have called forth a strong pro- test from the British Foreign Secre tary, Lord LansdOwne, addressed to the French government, which has ere ated an extremely grave and danger of European politics, the possibility of war is threatened in which France and Great Britain may clash as the direct result of the Anglo-Japanese treaty and the Franco Russian agree ment. Of course, both wars cannot be simultaneously prosecuted, for 1t is self-evident Great Britain and France will cooperate as allies against Germany in the Moroccan case and as enemies in Oriental waters over brea- ches of neutrality committed in the Russo-Japanese war. Probably all governments concerned in these sev eral disputes will find peaeeable way of getting out of the complications created. and. if a new war breaks out anywhere, it vii be caused by some thing not now in evidence, and least expected by the war prophets.

1t seems from the published re-
port that former State Treasurer
Bates, and Zimmerman aud the pres
ent Tresurer Jennings are hard bit
BY the defalcation of Bond Clerk
Zimmerman. Treasurer Bates, it
seems, early in 1890, when be
entered upon the duties of the Office
to which be had been elected, much
against his wishes employed one Zim'
merman as bond clerk. As We un-
derstand it, Zimmermans duties,
among other things, were to accept
bonds of the State of South Carolina
for stock. The former being payable
TO bearer and the latter only npon
order, was considered much preferable
BY investors. When these boods
were presented for exchange Zim-
merman was to cancel and destroy
them in the presence of his su-
perior officers. And in, doing this
he abstrac,ed, from time to time
from the package to be Cancelled or
destroyed, bonds to the amount of
something like $4,000 with interest.
By an accident these peculations were
discovered and it is now proposed to
hold these three Tressurers and their
bondsmen responsible. This We COD
asider all wong. These three men
are gentlemen of high standing in
their private ard business life. Their
characters ars simply unimpeacha BILE,
their books have been examined time
and again by committees and pro.
nouced correct. Two of them have
been out of Office for years and their
books turned ovsr in good condition
ard when this was done their respon-
sibility ceased when they went out
ofsofhce and turned over their books
Z,mmermsp, if guilty, should be
punished: Tressurers Bates, Tim
merman and Jennings are in no wsy
responsible for the defsfcation alleged
to have been discovered and neither
of them nor their bondsmen should
make this deficit good.
