BURGESS BONANZA BRINGS
DISCORD IN WELLS FAMILY

BISHOP, CAL, Nov. 23.-With the
wealth of a Croesus uncovered, lying
before them, theirs for the taking and
awaiting only to be dug from the ledge
and sold to the mint, the Wells family
at Burgess have fallen victims of j
family jarr which threatens to develop
into serious domestic troubles and long
litigation over the ownership of their
newly found gold bonanza. Even be
fore they have actually captured their
gold rabbit, they have the fire for the

SINNERS as interesting a stew of family
discord as any which has been develop
ed among any of the Million-a-minute
class of our numerous gold e~ldoradoes
The trouble is over the Ironside claim
located by Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Wells
several years ago, and in which the
wonderful paystreak has been uncov
cred.
Wells was in Bishop this week and
stated he could take a ton of $4,000
ore out of the shaft on the Ironsids
claim a day, $4,000 in n day is not
to be sneezed at, and he is all fol
taking out his gold, but there is Mrs
Wells, who objects. And her objections
are directly traceable to family in
felicities.
Mrs. Wells by a former marriage was
Mrs. Robinson. BY this union she had
two sons, Bert and Burgess Robinson
Burgess was killed at Keller several
years ago, but when the family found
the camp they named it in his honor
Bert Robinson and his father were also
at Burgess at that time and are now
Mrs. Wells therefore claims a large IN
terest in the Ironside clam for her son,
and to protect this interest she will
not permit her present husband to take
out the rich ore. Wells has secured

legal advice and may force the issue
through court adjudication! This would
probably take all winter. But neither
he nor Mrs. Wells seriously object to
this, since they say the camp is no
place for people not properly prepared
this winter anyway. 1t is at the very
summit of the White mountains, some
5000 feet in elevation, and even now
showed under several feet. In the
spring the camp is sure to become a
boom place, since the values in their
claim are SO great that comparison
even with such famous prospects as the
Goldfeld Mohawk do not do the mine
justice.
The lode on which the Ironside claim
is located is traced for three miles along
the crest Of the mountains. The crop.
pings found on the Ironsides were lead
and silver, but with only a few feet
of depth the character of the ore be
gins to change to gold. When the Wells
first located the Ironside they believed
they had a lead-silver mine.

property, and ~dissuation of the winds

however, for ground. Much Of the
territory was located when Burgess was
first discovered. Some of these loca
tons run out this year, and unless the
assessment work is done on them the
ground will be open after the first of
January.

NEW GOLD CAMP
INTERESTS GOLDFIELDERS

the three-foot ledge was piled on the
ore dump. No special Importance was
attached to it until an assay disclosed
an average value of $S9.52, since when
the material has been held in greater
esteem. About IA tons of middle-clnss
ore, estimated to average $500, is
sacked for shipment.
A year and a half since, Harold Rob-
%iuson, son of Mrs. Wells, did some
work on a claim known as the Samar.
He began on gossan assaying only
81. LOO. At four feet a rich streak was
opened; at six feet n assay gave
over $4,000 values per ton.
On the west slope of the mountain a
zinc ledge ~assaying SO per cent is being
opened. A shaft has been sunk AZ feet
on the vein, and has not yet reached the
other wall.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wells have ordered a
gasoline hoist for the speedier develop
ment of their claims.
At present a dozen or fifteen persons
are in the camp, some prepared to stay
all winter despite the billiards. which
rage there. A goodly number of differ
emit owners have already become inter,
ested, among them the Inyo Mines Syn
dictate.
There seems to be no uncertainty
about Burgess. The deepest workings
so far are but 100 feet-but such re
turns as they are giving! From the
accounts which reach us, no one need
be surprised to see the development OF
a second Goldfeld if the prospects hold
up to their present promise. 1t is but
four miles down to the railroad station
at Mt. Whitney. A rough trial is the
only means of access at this time-or
rather two trails, for one m in
from Keller way. A wagon road can
be built, however, and N is probable.
Every year ending with a 8 has had
its phenomenal find somewhere in the
mining world. Will that for 1909 be
Burgess, in Inyo county, We hope so,
though it's real growth may not-prob
ably should not-begin until next
spring, when the elements make living
there less dangerous.
Messrs. Wells and Wilson, of the
Burgess mines, were in Bishop this
week with Z. c. Overhulser. w. Gil
lette Scott went back with them to
look the ground over.
Mr.. Wells had many samples from
the rich strike, and in each the gold
was thickly sprinkled. One sample
would 90 $4S, 900 he said, and the aver.
age of the whole lot was up in the
thousands. One specimen was from
the surface Of a ledge traceable for
700 feet, and showing assays of from
some hundreds up to $4,000 the whole
length. cit is usual to suppose that
the miner makes things appear as
favorable as he can for his wi prop
erty,' said Mr.. Wells, "but any one is
perfectly welcome to come and see our
claims for himself. No one has been
denied the privilege of going into the
workings or of taking specimens. The
estimate that $1,000 has gone out in
specimens is probably much too low.
eve are sure of what we have, but
we do not want any rush there this
winter. There is ten or twelve inches
of snow on the ground now, and who
ever comes is likely to invite hard
ships. Well keep them out for their
own sakes, if we must do it with a shot
gun,' he facetiously remarked.

WILLIE BOY RECALLS A
NOTED NEVADA TRAGEDY

The recent spectacular chase Of Will.
lie Boy, Indian murderer, recalls time
when the Indian, Avote, ran amuck in
Eldorado Canyon. Willie Boy killed a
buck and a young squaw, but Avote
wantonly murdered i've white men in
a few hours. Sheriff. posses hunted
down Willie Boy, but the more expert
enced Eldoradoans matched the In
dams cunning by forcing the mem
bers of his own tribe to take up the
hunt.
The story of Avote goes back 20
years, to the time the Canyon was
booming. One night Avote's elder
brother entered one of the numerous
game. The stakes were high, and the
gambling houses and sat in a poker
large roll displayed by the Indian was
a matter of much comment and specu-
lation. But the mystery was cleared
up the following day when the dead
body and rified sacks of the man who
carried the mail from Kingman, Ariz-
ona, through to st. Thomas were
found beside the trail.
Bitter indignation filed the hearts
of the miners, and after a vain search
word was sent to the head men that
unless the murderer was speedily cap
tured or killed that the whites would
wreck vengeance on the entire tribe.
The threat served its purpose, and
Avote, himself, started on the trail of
his own brother, returning three days
later with an ear and a finger as proof
that the will of the white man had
been obeyed.
Eight years later, in 1898, the same
Avote, crazed with fre-water and an
gered at the loss of his favorite squaw,
started in to wipe the whites from the
district. The first of the little stone
cabins that Avote sought was that of
Dan Hughes. Hughes when he saw TIE
Indian approaching ~involuntarily
reached for his gun, and to this action
he owed his life, for Avote, a coward
at heart, seeing the white man armed,
laid down his own rife before advanc
ing.
After being given something to eat
Avote left and went direct to the not
far distant cabin of Judge Morton. HI
shot Morton as he sat at his table eat
ing, and the old gentleman was found
with his face in his plate, just as ht
had fallen forward when the leader
messenger of death crashed through
his skull.
Fastening up the Canyon Avott
came across two of the Wall street ore
teamsters at the well. One, named
Hodges, he killed instantly, but thu
other victim, Frantzen, he shot three
times-in the arm, the leg, and fnall,
in the stomach.
Charles Nelson had just finished
work and was stan ing at the porta
of the tunnel he was drilling on tn

interest in the new gold camp called
Burgess in Inyo county, California, and
applications for leases are being made.
The Inyo Register predicts that Il the
current talk in Lone Pine and Keller
is correct, the new camp Of Burgess, at
the summit Of the range east Of Lone
Pine, has every promise of making the
next stir in the mining world. It is
perched on the very crest, ten miles
north of Keller and eight southeast Of
Lone Pine. The old Hunter canyon
trial passes within a short distance, and
as at Lucky Boy and many other places,
hundreds of miners have passed by to
further fields, not knowing that richer
fortune was at hand waiting for dis.
covery.
The present situation there is that in
the principal claim, the Ironsides, a
shaft has been sunk 81 feet and a
drift run SO feet northerly from it,
taking out high grade rock at nearly
every stage of development. A seam
generally one to six inches in width,
though expanding in one place to 20
inches, carries the high values, in a
three-foot ledge, all of which will pay
well.
Mr.. Wells, operating this claim, says
that he has PANIED out 500 an hour in
a hand mortar, and that he can take a
pick and gather up a ton of ore along
the ledge that will yield at least $780,
600. Many of the pieces are actually
held together, when hammered, by the
gold in them. The present ore supply
in sight is estimated to be worth
$4,000.
No secrecy is being exercised in re-
gard to the property, and no visitor
has been denied the privilege of inspec
tion. All corners have been permitted
to take away specimens, and it is
guessed that possibly as much as $1,000
worth of ore has thus been given away.
On the other hand, the owners have no
wish to sell, for they believe they have
a comfortable fortune needing only to
be taken out and milled. They do not
want any boom at present, for the stu
alton is unfavorable for winter pros
peeting, or for working unless ample
preparations have been made. Mrs.
Wells, who is largely interested, and in
fact held the claims for years, has re-
ceived at least rs applications for
leases, some of them from Goldfeld.
The claims are in a mineralized zone
a mile or more in width, and running
with. the mountains. A strong iron
dixie runs through it, and the ledge Of
the Ironsides parallels the dixie. Bur
CESS is an old silver-lead prospect,
though unnamed as a camp until Mrs.
Wells christened it in memory of her
son, Burgess Robinson, a young man
whose death resulted from the acct
dental discharge of a shotgun at Owens
lake. She has owned the claims, sup.
posed to be silver-lead, for many years

pect on the surface, but at ten or
twelve foot depth the character of ore
changed to gold-bearing. At so feet
the values began to reach phenomenal
figures, and this has increased as sink
ing has continued. At the bottom of the
shaft the oxidized material is giving
way to blue and white quartz, which
now predominates. While the rich
streak was saved carefully, the rest of

behind some bushes, fred, dropping
the old man in his tracks. Nelson was
buried where he fell, and today trav'
elers to Nelson, going down Copper
Canyon, pass within . few feet Of has
lonely grave.
BY this time the lust for murder had
been somewhat appeased and Avote
evidently began to think Of his own
safety, for instead Of keeping in
the more thickly settled section, be
headed of toward the Colorado River,
down which was the main part of his
tribe. But sad to relate, his trail
took him by the Capitol Camp. Charley
Monahan, a brother Of Frank Monahan
of the firm of Monahan & Murphy of
Needles, was in charge Of the mine
Monahan was found lying in his bunk
evidently the Indian had discovered
him asleep and shot through the win
dow Of the bunk house.
One can imagine the intense ex-
citement which prevailed as, n by
one, reports were brought in of the
finding of the bodies of the five muir.

every direction, but, once again, the
wiser heads called upon the Indians

together with another Indian, called
Matachio, that were called upon by the
whites.
Taking up Avote's trail, the tw,
crackers followed it unerringly to 0
point about eight miles down the river
from the Capitol Camp. Here, the
hills favoring, their racial cunning
reasoned that Avote would be likely
to double on his tracks to see if he
were being followed. Concealine
! themselves in the brush, they waited
and before long the crafty Avote ap

in hand, almost bent double, as HI
swiftly circled his w trail. WheI
opposite the hiding place of the pur
suers, both Indians fred and Avott

! dams confidently expected Willie Boy

in the canyon at the time of this awful
tragedy, there still remains Clark al
