GOLD NUGGETS FOR SOMEONE.
Cached by Hishwaymen Along the Old
Overland Trail in the Early sos.

Helena, Mont.-Buried in Idaho
somewhere along the old overland trail
to Oregon is q hoard of thousands OF
dollars OF Montana gold nuggets. which
some Idaho farmer may stumble across
In the early eos n party of about
twenty men packed into Montana from
oregon prospecting for gold. Their
search ended at the confluence of Poor
Mans creek and Mcclellan creek. forty
five miles west of Helena II was late
in the fall when they arrived. ard hav-
ing plenty Of food they determined to
remain and mine during the winter
The members OF the party were in
dustrious and took out gold at the rate
Of $500 n set. A set OF ground can
be worked out in a day by two miners,
so that the Oregon men clenead up at
the rate of 5000 a day a man. Along
In the following summer the placers
were worked out and the party, having
amassed thousands of dollars, pulled
out to return to Oregon.
Their pack train was heavily loaded
and they were compelled TO travel slow
ly. News Of their coming with the
paniers filled with gold Travelled ahead
organized to waylay them and secure
the booty. At point along the Ore
gon trail in Idaho a midnight raid was
made by the road agents. Every gold
seeker save one was killed and he was
So badly wounded that he was left for
dead
Hastily rounding up the pack train
and loading il, the bandits struck out
Shortly after they had left, two pros
pectors came by and discovered the
dead miners. The wounded man gasped
out what had happened and fell back
dead. Not waiting to inter the bodies,
the two prospectors swiftly notified
other prospectOrs who lived in the vi
cinity and all started after the rob-
berS.
After trailing them two days the pur-
suers caught the robbers, but the lat
ter had cached the gold taken from the
miners. All but one of the road agents
were hanged on the spot and the life

that he had never been more certain Of
the future OF the lands around the
city, and the city OF Parker itself. for
the opening OF the lands OF the Colo
RADIO Indian River Reservation to set
Element, and the construction Of the
company could not fail to bring the
great reservoir on the Colorado river

Provided the plans OF
the engineers are practicable the dam
on the Colorado for watering the lands
OF the Colorado Indian Reservation
will be completed in about four years,
and Mr.. brennan is hopeful enough to
believe that these plans will be real
lied and carried out. II is stated that
200. 900 acres OF rich, fertile land will
be watered from the huge lake behind
the proposed dam, and it's construc-

ton will mean the duplication OF the
Salt River Valley. Whether he is in
fluenced by large holdings to regard
the country around Parker with too
favorable an eye is not known. but
there can be no doubt that Mr.. Dren-
mans predictions of the prosperity
which Will some day attend the farm
ers who have enough foresight TO go
down to Parker and take hold OF the
lands there, are true. The men who
are most certain OF II are the men who
know most about the country. and that
means something.
Mr. F. H Woodwork OF Washing
ton. d. c., arrived In Phoenix some
time ago accompanied by young
friend Of his, named Carlos Mayer, and
both men put up at the Stag. Mr..
Woodwork is a man who knows more
about the early stage days than any
other man in the country at this time.
but he is extremely unwilling TO give
out a detailed history OF his career,
saying that such things are OF no in
terest to people who have grown away
from such early Inconvenience as the
desert stage. That is the very thing
that makes an account OF life in the
read with all the fascination OF q
romance. AS early as 1872 Mr.. Wood
worth held a government contract for
carrying mails, express and passen-
gers across the plains and for a good
many years after that date he direct
ed the operations OF several large
stage companies. He has known what
IT meant to see a stage dragged up
to the stable door with the driver
missing. shot perhaps by an Indian or
an outlaw down the road. He knew
what il was to have a stage come in
with it's mail sacks and express mat
ter rifled OF valuables by stage robbers
II was n romantic and wild west that
Mr. Woodwork lived in in those days,
and the people now wish they knew
more about it. Both Mr.. Woodwork
and his friend Mr. Mayer spend great
part Of their time in Europe and Mr..
Woodwork returned from the southern
part OF France only a few weeks ago,
where he left a niece of his, who re-
manned to enjoy the country longer He
will remain in Phoenix for several
months unless his present plans are
changed, and said yesterday that he
found the city as delightful as ever
which means q great deal, for he says
he has always considered it among
the most attractive cities OF the
country. and the most attractive in the
winter time.
An excursion OF Alberta people left
Canada last January to run down to
Southern California to enjoy the eli
mate and look into the possibilities for
profitable investment in San Francisco
