SEES HIS CLOTHING,
IDENTIFIES HUSBAND
WOMAN COMES FROM ARIZONA
SEEKING HIM
Man Discharged from Hospital After
Attack of Epilepsy and DeIirium
Tremens Proves to Be
Lost Spouse

Mrs. Mary Swartout of Globe, Ariz.,
arrived at the police station yesterday
from her Arizona home looking for
David Swartz, whom she believes TO De
her husband.
Swartz, or Swartout, as she says ms
name is, was taken to the receiving
hospital nearly three weeks ago sur
fering from an attack of epilepsy.
At the hospital he told tale OF fapu-
lous wealth made from the sale of a
mine in the Funeral mountains. This
tale proved to be a figment of dis
ordered imagination and when he had
recovered from the effects OF MS at-
tack he was discharged.
A week ago he was arrested ana
taken to jail where he was attacked
with delirium tremens. He was sent
to the county hospital for treatment.
In the meantime Mrs. Swartout read
of Swartz in the Los Angeles papers
and wrote to Chief of Police Kern ask
ing about him. She finally decided to
come here and learn for herself If
Swartz and her husband was one and
the same person.
When she learned that Swartz had
been sent to the county hospital she
went there but found that he had left
that institution Monday. She identi-
fed, however, a lot of clothing which
he had left behind as belonging to her
husband and she now is conducting a
search through Los Angeles In an en-
deavor to find him.

BIG STRIKE is MADE IN

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Aug. 14.-What ne
believes will prove the richest mineral
discovery made in a prospecting anu
mining 'experience of over a quarter or
a century was uncovered few days
ago by John r. Mcdonald in the slate
creek section, between the Jersey Lily
and Blue Dick mines. Mcdonald is now
in the city arranging to start smart
on the new find at once. Inc strlke
was made in an iron dixie, eighteen
inches of ore being uncovered py one
shot on the surface tnat salnpies go
to the ton in gold and 2 per cent IN
copper.
Mcdonald located two claims on the
dixie and intends to add further loca-
tions to his holdings provided the pay
streak holds out with development. lie
stated Yesterday that he would begin
the sinking of a shaft to depth OIL
at least 100 feet in the next few days,
and also prospect the outcrop further
with a view of getting the trend OF
the ore chute the surface OF which Is
so promising. He has been prospecting
and mining in that section several
years with good success, ana is TAMIL
lar with the peculiarities of the ores
of many of the ledges. He owned an
interest in the Blue Dick mine seVeraI
years ago. He is the locator ana dls-
coverer of the Mark Twain mine and
other claims adjoining the Blue Dick,
which were sold last year TO the LOOK
out Copper company.
The new find is only short distance

eIroux Strikes HIGH Grade

ELY, New, Aug. 14-Excellent news
has come down from the Giroux. 1t
was learned that the Alpha shaft had
entered high grade ore body at 11Sc
feet. The ore carries much native cop"
per, and being of the same character
as that encountered in the mine few
weeks ago, is considered to be of the
same body.
The previous strike was MADE IN a
winze sunk from the drift on the 1000
level. Work since done in this through
the winze has demonstrated that 1t
has considerable extent and that its
value maintains a high average. Its
presence in the shaft, therefore. did
not come altogether as surprise. but
1t was nevertheless an exceedingly
gratifying discovery.

SAN BERNARDINO. Aug. 14.-For
several days clerks in the various
county offices have been trying to find
in the records some trace of a myster-
ious and large estate that was sup
posed to have been probated here years
ago and for which no heirs had been
located.
The search was made in response to
an inquiry from one William Driscolr'
of San Diego.
1t suddenly dawned on one of the Of
ficials that the name was that of a
man committed to the insane asylum
at Patton and soon found a record of
his commitment two years ago. Tha
Patton authorities stated that Driscoll
had escaped some weeks ago and they
did not know his whereabouts. The
search was of course abandoned and
the information was given the asylum
authorities, who will try to locate him.

GRAPE GROWERS TO
FIGHT PROHIBITION
California Wine Makers, Alarmed at
Decreased Sales, Realize Nothing
but Drastic Measures viii
Save Their Business
By Associated Press.

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 14.-A local
winery company, one of the largest in
the state, has taken the initiative in a
movement toward bringing about an
organization of Ithe grape growers in
this county. The purpose of the or
ganization is to be self-protection
against the advances now being made
by Prohibitionists. Edgar M. Sheehan,
general manager of the winery. has
sent out to grape growers a letter urg-
ing them to attend a conference to be
held here next Thursday.
In the course of his letter he says:
"Railroad statistics for the first six
months of this year show falling off
in wine shipments to the east of over
40 per cent, and now, with the vintage
season almost at hand, the wineries
find their storage cellars in no condi-
ton to take care of the big crop that
will be harvested.
I'VE dare say that the advances of
prohibition alone have had the effect of
cutting the market price of grapes
nearly in two, and unless we get to-
gether right away and are able to meet
with organization the organized effort
that will be directed against us at the
coming session of the legislature we
deserve to be punished severely"
