day from flying visit to the Success
shaft in Duck creek. The old shaft
has been straightened until it is now
as straight as a rifle barrel, accord
ing to Mr.. Mcdonald The SHAFT has
been timbered throughout with
heavy timbering and is now in as
good condition as any shaft in the
country. The frames are set closer
together than is the usual custom,
giving the mine an exceptionally fine
set of timbers.
The ground looks good to Mr.. Nc

TWO SKELETONS
IN ONE GRAVE.
They May Have Been Indians who
frOze TO Death or White Men
Killed by savaSeS.

Justice Cartwrisht. together with
Il number OF county officials, at
taehes of the sheriff office and
others, made an examination of the
skeleton found by II p Hendrickson
and Enos Blood on their Mckinley
claim. one mile south of the court
house Thursday for the purpose of
determining ii possible the identity
of the man. and the cause OF death.
While making an examination of
the spot another skeleton was I'M
covered by the officials This, like
the first one found had high-heeled
Mexican riding boots on the Feet ana
n handkerchief around The neck.
While the identity of the bodies
could not be definitely determined.
tits believed thai they we're two IN
dians who froze 10 death near the
old slaughter house eight years ago.
These Indians were buried in the
same grave al about the point where
the two skeletons were uncovered,
and one of the local Indians said
that the grave in which the bodies
were inferred was similar in con-
struction to the one from which the
skeletons We're removed
While making an examination of
the skeletons yesterday, the inquirers
found three or four silver coins,
American money, none of the COINS
bearing a later mintage date than
1887. In view OF the fact that there
we're two highly ornamented Mexican
leather saddles in the grave, It Is be-
lieved by some that the surmise that
the skeletons werc those of Indians
is incorrect
1t is argued that Indians seldom
wore high-heelcd boots, and that II
would be somewhat unlikely that
they would have saddles Of the kind
found. Some persons believe that
the remains are those of a pair of
daring adventures in search of gol-
den treasure in the nnfrequented
district in the early days who were
the victims OF Indian hatred, and
We're killed in some sanguinary bat
lie which has never been recorded
in the history Of the state THAT
they were hastily buried with their
boots on, and with their saddles in
The grave, is believed by some to
point conclusiyely 10 this end.
though there is nothing certain upon
which to base a positive solution to
the puzzle
