WELLS. Another mysterious disap.
pearance has been solved with the find
ing of the body of Frank Sweeney. a
well known prospector, who dropped
from sight last August, and who has
been the object of repeated search by
parties sent out by the employer, A.
Adam Brockington.
The body was found on the desert in
the Death Valley region, between Clark
Canyon and Sheep Creek. The remains
were well preserved and easily iden-
tilted. Great fi%ngernail marks on the
face indicated that Sweeney had gone
delirious and had torn at his checks,
while one hand c~lutching a tuft of hair

"Scotty' is now located at Black Can
yon, q short distance from Humboldt
House, On the Southern Pacific. As
that section is one of the richest in the
state he may have something good to
spring. 1t was in this anyon a few
months ago that Indian Ike found a
mine that is fabulously rich in gold and
from which ore is being taken that is
dazzling with the yellow metal.
Scotty left for New York City, stat
ing that he was going on a business mis-
sion. He is not making the trip in a
special train, similar to the one he made
his reputation on a few years ago, but
is travelling in the good old fashioned
way, leaving on the regular No. 8. 1t
is not known what his business is at
the metropolitan city, but it is believed
that he has an option on one of the
richest properties in Black Canyon and
is going after the money.
