PRosPEcToR GETS HIS.
Oil Expert Tells Story to illustrate
Character of Gold Hunters.

Modena- June stephen E, Barron of
Blake, Cal. passed through here today,
en- route from the Virgin oil fields to Los
Angeles Mr.. Blake has charge of sixty
oil claims in the new region, and speaks
very highly of the possibilities of great
oil production in his fielc.
Besides being an oil expert Mr.. Bar
ron has had thirty years experience in
Utah and Colorado. Experience has made
him humorous instead of morose, and In
discussing the shortcomings of a certain
species OF nomads. who prefer TO be
called prospectors and are led from place
to place by reports of new strike, Mr..
Barron contributes the following parody
on st Peter al the Gate"
"A nomadic prospector by the name of
Murphy had located mining claims I'm
nearly every state The report of a new
strike invariably led Murphy to abandon
his locations and go for the new place.
He drifted into the Yukon region. Alaska,
just located ground par-excellence. He
started for heaven and met st, Peter at
the gate.
What's your name and occupation p"
queried st. Peter.
MY names Murphy and I am a mining
prospector, answered the nomad.
What did you ever do to merit the re-
ward of the 1ust?" asked st. Peter
BE COB. I've located placers in Peru,
built damSiteS in California, located mill
sites in Nevada and just made a stroke in
Alaska when hivin whispered TO me to
hoist"
ST. Peter scratched his head and re-
marked; We'll. there are so many pros
pectors In heaven already / fear the
chances are against you. However 1 have
been attending to this gate for a long
time, now, and would like to be relieved
and might let you tend the gate" To
this Murphy readily assented
Prespectors had an easy time with Muir
phy- Upon St. Peters return he asked
Murphy:
who's passed in?"
"Sixty-five prospectors, sor," replied
Murphy.
bad. bad calculated Peter and added,
What in the world to do with them /
can't tell. Why. they will be digging
up the gold pavements of heaven"
Don't worry, replied Murphy. "Just
put up a sign reading "A new strike in
hell and every prospector will get out
of heaven
Then some unfeelins listener TO the
above had the rudeness 10 interject. "Oh.
HI, they didn't stop there after St Peter
put up the sign; they changed their mind
and went to Stateline''

LOCAL OPERATOR LIKES
SEVEN TROUGHS DISTRICT

p. c. Thompson returned from weeks
trip to the Seven Troughs district yes
terday morning. In addition to seeing
most of the better known mines of the
district, he succeeded in landing a prop
erty for himself and associates which he
believes viii turn out well.
The mineral belt over there" said Mr..
Thompson, SIS all Of twenty-eight miles
long, and developments TO date are con-
Sidered sufficient by the best posted men
of the camp and state to warrant the
declaration that it will, in d few years,
outshine Goldfield and stand as the big
gest and richest producing district in the
state of Nevada
Mr.. Thompson said that machinery and
equipment of all kinds were being de-
livered in the district at a rapid pace, AMI
that mining was being carried on In
manner that showed anything but a de-
sire on the part Of the companies and in
dividualS to work stock games rather than
the mines There has not been time
enough vet for the camp TO show what II
can do in the way of production, but Mr.
Thompson says that several of the big
companies and leading concerns are pilinz
UP rich rock for shipment at a rate that
will attract all kinds of attention by
and by. He brought back with him some
exceedingly rich specimens Of ore from the
Seven TroughS company's mine that he
secured at the bank in Elko, and while
at camp he saw enough, he said, to make
a live enthusiast of q wooden Indian.

ago, Colonel John Weir, president of the
Nevada-Utah company, officially released
the Information that the company had ex-
ercised all of its options on properties at
Phoebe and at the same time spoke of his
intended retirement from the head of the

printed about it. but the one item that
contains much in little is Colonel Weir's
statement to the New York Globe as fol-
lows:

RAINBOW DEVELOPMENT
IS BEING CROWDED

r. J. Jarvis, superintendent of the Rain
bow Mining company's properties near
Alta, is in town and reports that the
tunnel. which is being run on the prop
erty to intercept the vein at depth, is be-
ing pushed forward as rapidly as two
shifts can advance it. When he left the
mine the face of the tunnel was begin
ming to show considerable naturalization
of the same character as the ore found
above. and the Indications are that the
main fissure, which is so well defined at
the surface, and which is known to be
larger than at first supposed. will be cut
in a short time.
This property IS the one the ore from
which has attracted so much attention.,
because it carries a large percentage Of
the rare metal molybdenum. Develop
ments in this property appear to be now
approaching very interesting stage.

A LOST MAN.
Wandered Away From Maricopa and
 Is Thought to Be Crazy.

Word was brought from Maricopa
 yesterday that there was some little excitement there over the sudden dis appearance of a man whom it is
 thought was crazy and had probably wandered off in the desert and died of the heat. He got off No. 3. west bound on the morning of the Tth. He was apparently of German birth. light complected, about thirty years of age and well dressed in a suit of dark clothes. H carried with him vio- lin, zither and canvas grip. all of which he left standing near the depot At first he attracted little attention. but shortly began wandering around talking on every imaginable subject in a wild way that gave the impression his mind was unbalanced Toward evening he suddenly disap- peared and all trace of him has been lost. It is feared that he has gone the way of the man who wanders off in the desert this season of the year without water for it is hardly possible that man could survive over a couple of days under such conditions. It was learned that a passenger on tine same train said the lost man had started from Globe and on the train had re- marked that he was fearful he was be- ing hunted by someone who wanted to kill him. His grip has the name J. Stal engraved on it. It is the i'm pression of all at MaricOpa that the man was undoubtedly crazy.

THE RABBIT DRIVE
 ON FRIDAY NEXT
The People Who Kill Them Will Not Be Required to Eat Them-An Ex- cursion Train Will Ba Run.

The next big public celebration to be pulled off in these parts will be the rabbit drive at Peoria tomorrow and it promises to be tournament worth while. Many people have besought the Santa Fe to run a special train out to Peoria about l o'clock Friday afternoon, for the accommodation of those who would like to see the finish of the big drive. This will be done, the train leaving Phoenix at 1 D. m and returning leaving Peoria at 4:30 D. m. The fare will be 75c for the round trip.
 One wing of the drive will start on Agua Fria and New rivers some miles south of Peoria and the other will start some distance east of Glendale, the two wings meeting at the central point near Peoria where a long wire fence has been erected as a trap for the unsuspecting rabbits.
 It is believed that thousands of them will be captured and that the bounty of five cents for each pair of ears will amount to enough to pay for the wire. Many Indians will participate in the drive and the result of it should be to
 
 of the pests for a good many square miles. That there are lots of rabbits is demonstrated by several recent small drives. The latest one to be heard Ot was on Sunday when w. J. Osborne, the Santa Fe agent at Peoria and few friends, the party num- bering ten, slaughtered 515 jacks.
 Some inquiry was made yesterday as to what was to be done with the carcasses. for if the drive is as sue cessful as it is expected to be there will be a good many thousand pounds of fresh meat to dispose of. It was suggested that the Indians would make jerky of it. but this is probably not so. Cor two or three reasons One is that tho rabbit is never considered very good eating at this time of the year. That might make little differ ence to an Indian but the other req son will, ard that is that the rabbits are said to he suffering from some kind of an epidemic that it working more or less destruction among them already
 It is rather a generally accepted theory that wild animals seldom have diseases; that they seldom die except violently, when killed by man or some natural enemy among the wild anil nIals. 4 number of cases are cited, however. which shaw that there is HOW raging among the rabbits some kind of a death dealing disease that would make their flesh very unde- sirable, even for the Indians. A lady who lives near Peoria and who was in Phoenix yesterday told of several in stances where her neighbors had gone into the fields and seen dead rabbits

started to run. He made quick dive after the runner and in the darkness went up against the edge of the depot platform with full force. The plat form struck him along side of the head and almost rendered him unconscious. He felt himself begin to grow faint and realizing what might happen should he do so, he threw his gun away. It was then that the Yaquis seeing his predicament bounced upon him and came near putting an end to his existence.
 The constable went to Phoenix yes terday and identified three of the men in jail as the ones that were concern ed in his assault. The fourth, mem toned in yesterdays paper as bear ing the marks of his grasp on his arm. proved to be the wrong man. He got the black and blue marks from an ac- cident in a thresher. The fourth mar is therefore still at large but the of ficers have a good idea where he is located and his arrest is expected shortly. Ii has not been arranged to hold the preliminary hearing of the three men on the felony charge Sat urday forenoon.

an effort has been made to have the and clerks of Tempe agree to close Friday afternoons for the rest of the summer. Such an agreement was drawn up night before last and was yesterday circulated about town. It met with the favor of all but a single merchant.
