Remains Of a Campfire and
Dried Hand Gold GreSe'-
some Story.

On the desolate shores of the gulf of
California, near a deserted Indian vii
lage, a wandering sheep herder has
found the charred remains of a huge
feast fire and the circular path of an
Indian war dance and near the en-
bers pair of dried human hands and
the trappings and books on nautical
science which once belonged to Henry
Miller and Gus Olinder, the explorers,
whose fate on Tiburon island has been
shrouded in mystery since the day Of
their departure in search of gold.
The news of the discovery Of the Mil
ler-Olinder relics was received in Los
Angeles, Cal, by George w. Knox.
There seems little doubt that the dis
covery tells the true story of the death
of Miller and Olinder

ROBINSON WAS KILLED BY THE NATIVES.

island on his second searching eXpedi-
ton, and it was in connection with his
search that the relics Of Miller and
Olinder were discovered The other
members of the missing Grindell party
were David Ingraham, Olan Rails and
J. Z. Hoffman. HOFFMAN is the only
one who ever returned to civilization
He has never been able to give any
definite information of the fate Of his
companions. He says, however, that
the Serbs Indians are cannibals and
that there is little hope for the survival
of Grindell and his followers.
Several explorers who have visited
the Tiburon islands in the past have
been attacked and have narrowly es-
capped. About ten years ago a newspa-
per man named Robinson left PheniX,
Ariz., with two companions to explore
the islands. Tor months no word came
from the party. It was finally estab-
lished that Robinson was killed by the
natives. The fact was brought to the
attention of the Mexican government,
which assisted in locating the body.
