New York, Feb. T. The widow Of

to wait for several hours one day last

chug up to the house to take her to a
meeting Of the Woman's Club or some
other function that she was especially
desirious of attending.

Fair thought of the bright red streaks
which the party had cut through the

GRUESOME RELICS FOUND
In DEATH VALLEY SINK

The upper portion of a skull, bunch
of matted brown hair, and towel in
which the head was wrapped, gruesome
mementos of desert tragedy, were
taken to Los Angeles few days ago
by Bill Key, famous Death Valley
prospector.
A prospector named Michael Corral
found a grave in the sink of Death
Valley and reported the matter to Key,
who at once started for the spot. He
located the grave January Is, at a
point about twenty miles south of Fur
mace Creek ranch near Tule Springs, in
the vicinity of Bennett S ranch.
Near the grave, which was unmarked
by either slab or monument, but which
had been partially opened by the coy
otes, were found a pick, shovel, a
portion of a valise aud two small
boards. The grave was barely hole
in the sand, the deepest point not eX-
ceeding two feet, while the remains
were but six inches under cover. The
body, which had been reduced to a
skeleton, was wrapped in canvas, and
had been doubled up Ike jackknife
and set down in the hole with the feet
as high as the head. A few yards dis
tant, under greasewood bush and
covered over with sticks, was bloody
canvas with the initials 81 H, prob
ably the manufacturer mark.
The unfortunate man was dressed in
pair of striped pants and had on a
pair of No. 7 shoes. Aside from these
things, nothing was found in or about
the grave ley which Identification may
be made. There was not card or a
scrap of paper to be found. Nothing
except the clothing or the valise may
be used as clews to the man 5 identity.
The man, says Key, was short OF
stature.

John Wearne, Veteran Merchant,
Discusses the Resources of His
Camp in Relation to the
Great Ely District
$3.50 GOLD ORE FOUND
Real Work Replaces "fiOt Air" Develop
ment and First Fruits are
Indeed Promising

Cherry Creek is beginning to feel
the impulse of activity which is SO
apparent in Ely" said John Wearne,
the veteran storekeeper in the town
near Egan Canyon, yesterday. Mr..
Wearne is visiting friends here and is
very much Impressed by the kaleido
scopc changes which have taken place.
"But Ely" Mr.. Wearne observed,
lis bigger and better in a descriptive
sense than the mere name of town.
The development of the mines here is
doing wonders for the surrounding
country and especially for Cherry Creek.
When you refer to the Ely district
these days you mean the entire Steptoe
Valley, from Currie's down. Cherry
Creek is centrally located in this dis
trict and its mines, rich in gold and
silver, and formerly the glory of White
Pine county, are attracting almost as
much attention as the properties in the
copper belt here and the lead mines at
Duck Creek.
Everything is humming in our camp
just now in preparation for the spring
rush. Several new mines were opened
up few days before | left, one of
which showed ledge of gold fifteen
inches wide and eight feet long running
$3.50 to the ton. That is sample of
the Cherry Creek groupings. Some
pessimists have referred to these Lodges
as 'stringers. Well, perhaps they
are, but you can never tell what these
'stringers' are going to amount to
until you go after them with shaft
work.
THAT has been the trouble at Cherry
Creek heretofore, Mr.. Wearne added;
"people came in who were going to
set the world afire but WHO had nothing
more substantial than the gift of CAB
for working tools. Now few men
with real money are beginning to open
up the mines of the district in small
way and the results are satisfying in
the extreme. The surface showings
around Cherry Creek run principally to
gold, silver and lead, but in spots where
depth has been sought the shafts drop
into copper ore, somewhat after the
fashion of the gold mines around Ely.
1t is only question of a short time
now when Cherry Creek will be in the
swim with Ely. Our population has
increased recently to five hundred or
more and we are expecting to double
that before midsummer

Oldest Field for the Precious Stones

In a recent report of the geological

account of the Parma diamond fields
Of Central India. Historically this
country is believed to be the original
home of the diamond, and from them
1t is supposed that the famous Kohl

half centuries ago, the earliest dia-

previously.

SCULPTURE OF THE INDIAN.
Only Three Specimens Of Los Rock
Carving Have Been Found.

carving Rave Been rouho.
One of the three known examples In
the United States Of the famous In
dian sculpture on two OF the Inn
mense rocks which form the great
falls of the Connecticut river at Bel
lows Falls has been entirely obliter-
ated, not a trace of the marking which
recorded some in )ortant event In the
history OF the aborigines being left.
The sculpture was a favorite subject
of discussion for antiquarians and de-
veloped much controversy as to the
manner and time in which 1t was
made. When first discovered it con-
sisted OF a group OF sixteen or eigh'
teen variously ornamented heads
plainly cut into the rocks. The main
piece Of work was shown on a fiat
space about fifteen feet wide and six
feet high, and consisted of four heads
each surmounted with a pair or rays
and numerous heads without any dec
grafton. On the other rock was one
large head with at least eight rays,
this head being fourteen inches across
at the forehead.
There may have beer originally also
an inscription, but If so it had become
obliterated by the action of the water
years ago.. The markings were sup
posed to have represented a victory
at or near Bellows Falls by four bands
and their chiefs, under n principal
chief. The fact that the action OF the
water has removed what was discover
ed on the rocks a hundred years ago
indicates to not a few that much more
of the record must have disappeared
previously.
