 About the year 1868 King Woolsey with his party while travelling from the present site of Harrisburg in the Harquahala mountains to Cullin's wells in a low pass about two miles north of Harrisburg made a remark able discovery and your contributor has visited the same ground and found ample evidence of the truth ' of the statement made by the original party.
 In a space approximately forty feet square about twenty small piles of rich gold ore were found, systemat- ically emptied from sacks. a few of which were found among the mes C.nTaj and oaldse.shionel reiet with the barrel consumed by rust and the stock weather-beaten was found leaning against mesquite tree.
 There was perhaps a thousand pounds of this ore. and it contained s50.000 worth of gold.
 An Apache Mojave squaw subse- quently agreed to direct Wooisey to the place where the ore was found. but always weakened when the time arrived to carry out her promise. She stated that the ore had been taken out by white men, who were sur prised and murdered at that place and the ore dumped on the ground by the Indians. There is absolutely no ques- tion in regard to the correctness of this statement Furthermore. the ere could not be traced to the Bonanza. which afterward proved to be a sur face wonder. as 1t was totally diff ferent, in it's characer from the product of that property, and the ledge from which this ore was taken lis still undiScovered. but is supposed | to be about fifteen miles south of Desert wells.
 The Adams.
 | I will not go into any considerable length under this title. This is sup posed to besa wonderful placer propo- s't'on on the head" of Salt river near Camp Apache.
 Adams produced nuggets of re markable size He put in practically his whole life in endeavoring to re find these placer fields. The one of two concl 'sions must be arrived at in the premises. A plain. honest pros pector, spending his private fortune and drawing on his personal friends to the last syllable for the purpose of retracing his steps and locating the ground. he was either correct in his statements CT else he was dementeG, and the fact that he produced the f, af hiC xynndarfTrl story would incline a reasonable per son to the first mentioned theory.
 The celebrate Bryfogle was found. n s results, was not up to expecta- tions.
 The Pegleg bears the distinct ear marks of dementia or deliberate superheated ozone.
 This particular specimen of TO- nance is clearly in the "Scotty class. There are personal opinions, but a full investigation is cheerfully invited and prompt apology is on tap in the event that the contributor of this paper should be mistaken.
 The Log Cabin was evidently high grade fiction in the category as the Three Oaks.
 No Lost Mines in cochise
 Cochise county may co I.,ratu!Tte itself on it's freedom from these perncious fictions which absorb the time and capital of so many adventu rers who should apply their factors of .adus.ry to legitimate subjects.
 "Old Bat" who drives from the San Be ri.rdino ranch to Douglas fol John Slaughter, is endeayoring to find 8 lost ledge near the mouth oi Cottonwood canyon and has evidence that he once discovered an exceed ingly rich vein of silver in that local ity.
 Another story goes to the effect tha the 'omn. present soldier brought abulously rich gold rock into Benson from some point in the Whetstone mountains, and whole shoe stores have been worn out in endeavoring to relocate it.
 Surprising as it may appear, these golden traditions appeal to the ex perienced prospector as well as to th' suculent tenderfoot. With all of oul profound and infallible erudtion, the author shall have to plead guilty ii charged with the same weakness. Like the Tyre of the siren, with all oul wisdom, it Is fires. stible. He whc has ever gathered a taste of this TO mantle pursuit, the smell of the cat slaws, the indescribable charm of th' desert, the balmy, soothing, mellow ness of the foothills. the shimmerint mesa or the delicate blue distance of Arizona mountain tops can neyel . be contented in the old established circles of existence such as obtain : under the austere, Puritanic condi ? tions in the states.
 Permit me to dismiss this subjec with the friendly and well meant sug gestion. that time, money and exer ton expended in the attempt to tral up lost mnes and hidden treasures s poor investment.
 Disposed to depjrecate gambling O, , general principles, it were bettel judgment to invest your money in |, lottery, thereby saving time, sho' l leather, physical constitution and en loying fully as many chances to WI . as in chasing the elusive, golden god dess to financial and oft-times phy .sical destruction.
