peek before he could talk connect edly, and then he told me the story of his adventures. Leaving Salt Lake a month before. he had employ ed his time fin the endeavor to re discover a gold mine his father had found thirty years ago. This mine was supposed to exist in a range Of ragged mountains 200 miles to the southeast. It was found by his fath- CT and a partner during period Of trouble with the Indians, and his father had never come back. But, at death. he had left a chart or map, showing the location of the long-lost bonanza The son, in the person Of the almost perished prospector, had spent two weeks in the hills and can yons looking for the mine, but with out success. His burro had been eit- ten by a rattlesnake. and had died, so he was forced to leave his camp ing outfit and continue his search alone. For two days he had been almost lest in a box canyon, but finally found an old trail leading to the summit above This correspond ed to the chart he had with him, and so he took the course upward By this time his provisions had run low, and he had almost decided to give up the attempt when, one night, he stumbled upon the remains of an old camp. In the morning he began looking about him, and finding an old pack saddle. Going back into the hills from the camp he noticed q fringe of bushes which seemed to te growing on snrt of hummock. This seemed to he out of the usual order of things, and so he made an investigation, which proved that the growth had sprung from an old mine dump, near which was a small open ing, as if intended for the beginning l of tunnel. And such proved to be 1 the case. and at the face of the old workings he found a vein of quartz | about two feet in width. which wa. fairly glistening with gold in it, ! native state. This also corresponds with his fathers chart. and the pros pector, Thomas Jenkins by name
 was now certain of the success o
 his expedition. That night he agai, slept in the old camp. and quenche, his thirt at little mountain stream
 trickling down towards the box can
 yon. In the morning he went 10 tn,

 samples of the gold-hearing rock, ant
 started on his return home. Fo
 two days he was again lest ia tn
 canyon, and then started to cross tn Imountafa. ever precipices and towel ling cliffs. For twenty-four hours h
 had been without provisions. and fo ,the two days following he had bee
 without water. and had 1t not bee
