FIND ANCIENT CARS AT
 BOTTOM or OLD SHAFT
lrrom Friday, Daily)

Nl rom flGiF - lJallN Tmck- of three mining ears of Ger. nan pattern are 'he peculiar find made last week in the bottom of an old 900 foot shaft in one of the mines owned | by the Clara Consolidated Mining and Milling Company at Swansea, accord ing Co former District Attorney k. F.. Morrison. who returned recently from that place. Who placed inc trucks there is a question that cannot be an swered by even the pioneers of that once forbidden region.
 r. is known. Attorney Morrison says. that shipments of rich copper ore were made from that port of the Bill Williams Fork range mroe than quarter of a century ago. The ore was packed to the Colorado River, 1oated down the river on barges to the Gulf of California. where it was load. cd on a steamer and transported 10 Swansea. Wales. for treatment. It IS now believed that the mine now under development by the Clara Consoldat. cd Company was one of a number that yielded rich treasure to the hardy pioneers who penetrated that region in search of the precious metals.
 The shaft in which the trucks were found is cleaned out to depth of 200 feet. How many feet t goes down is not known. At the 200 foot level drift was found extending in a dis tance of 100 feet with indications of other drifts and openings hidden in the ground. which is caved in many places. The shaft and drift are in orc similar in character to the ore dcpos- its being developed in the other two shafts now being sunk.
 Attorney Morrison says that the in cline shaf, is now down lSj feet. The orc body has proven thickness of 90 feet. A crosscut has been run through it this distance and two drifts run on the strike of the vein distances of 9s and 2s feet either way are also in ore.
 Number shaft is down 36s feet. The ore exposed is a sulphidc, carry ing copper, iron and lime, similar in character to the ores in the other open. ings. indicating that the three shafts are sunk on the same continuous lead or deposit.
 Thousands of tons of ore are expos ed in the Moro group, also owned by the company, a short distance aeress the range from the Swansea properties. The ores of the Moro and Swansea are an ideal combination for smelling. tests proving that little, if any, Huxes are required.
 Eighty men are now employed at the mines and the force is being grad ually increased. Machinery for the new smelter is being delivered and the plan is in course of construction.
 \ telephone line is finished connect. ing Swansea with Blouse. l7 miles south, on the Arizona and California railroad.
 Morrison also said that postoiiice will be established at Swansea in the next thirty days with a mail route to and from Bouse.
 Stores and other camp buildings are in various stages of erection and the town bids fair to be a place of several hundred inhabitants in the next year.

A MYSTERIOUS BUNDLE.
Quantity of Cheap Collar Buttons
Found on Elizabeth Street.

Early this morning. before the day
had hardly dawned, as Mr.. Mayes, the
expert chauffeur and general pro-
mOter of E. F. Rowson and Co., was
passing along Elizabeth street, he
saw lying against the wall of the
Boston Shoe Store, large white
bundle. On picking it up and in
Vestigating, he found it to contain a
large quantity of cheap collar and
sleeve buttons. There was no name
on the package to indicate the own
err Mr.. AIayes concluded that per-
haps someone had been raiding a
cheap jewelry stand, and had either
left the bundle on account of being
frightened before getting away with
his booty, or that, finding the stuff
to be of little value. had abandoned
it. There are dozens and dozens of
buttons in the bundle, but the whole
value is probably not over. S.. Mr..
Mayes not wishing TO go into the
collar button business, has left them
at The Herald Office thinking a story
of the find might bring the owner
around to claim his property. 1t is
not improbable that the goods were
smuggled.
