that il could not do the work, and the C0rbins pat up a mill of their own, to work the ore from the Lucky Cuss mine, which they purchased in the winter of 1878 or 1879.

 Schieftelin's Last Visit.
 The last time Ed Schieffelin was in Tombstone. he had me take him in a buggy to Fairbank When we arrived at the place where Ed is now buried, about two miles from Tombstone, he had me get out of the buggy and walk with him to the spot where be- had his bed the night the Indians were so close to him. He said to me that that was where he wished 10 be buried, and made me promise to see. that his wish was fulfilled. l told him that in all probability he would live longer than l, to which ne replied no remarking that l was strong man and that he was not l promised if l outlived him that l would see his wish attended to- About the mid de of May lS97, he was found dead in oregon, and his body was shipped to Tombstone ] saw him laid away never to appear on earth again.

 An excerpt from the Sunday edition { of the San Francisco Examiner of date Of July 4th. lS79: 1
 Ed Schieffelin's life was queer life. He had a heart as gentle and I sensitive as the heart Of a render girl, i but fearless as the eagle: his friend !, ship was not lightly given. nor ever recalled. He hated the whirl and in- 1 of cities, and loved the fields | and the cactus blooms. and the Milky l Way. He dug wealth from hidden places, and knew it's yalne; but scat tered il among men with q hand a stranger to withholding. He lived ! much alone, and when the end came it Fgrif hza mir al q b, stars to witness his passing. Not elsewhere than in a new land can such lives be. and not often even there: ! for in Schieffelin were united the sweetness Of ciyility and the rip and freshness Of the child of the border 1
 Tn western Pennsylvania his life began a little less than fifty years ago. He didn't see much of condi | tions in the middle states. however, for his parents early moved to Oregon, | and he went with them. There he grew to manhood uiitrammeled by the conYentionalities that choke individ-. uality, and shut the heart behind the walls its best emotions cannot pass. 1 He threw out the branches cf char 3cter where the sunshine lay warnl- est, and developed in harmony with AulhEo AAistt IJcl 5Oilo.
 On the banks of the Rogue he wan dered st will. probing eagerly wher- ever he fancied gold might turk: and when. in his twenty-second year. an opportunity Of entering Nevada came his way he seized it without hesita- lion, and threw himself headlong into the career of a miner. In letter writ ten by him at this time he said:
 
 Why He Hunted Gold.
 '''I am restless in oregon and wishi to go somewhere. that has wealth for the digging of it. cant say care 70 be rich; it isn't that If had a fortune I suppose I'd not keep it long. for, now that ! think of it, can't sec why should. But ! like the ex-l citement of being right up against the earth, trying to coax gold away to scatter it Nevada seems to be land or immense promise in that line, and e1 en though l strike nothing there. I'll have the sport Of hanging on the edge of buried millions, and that will be worth while
 Gird and the schiafelins. after coming to Arizona. plodded along un-l til they got help enough to work their properties directly, and then fortune rolled their way. Miners Hooked to. the region, discoveries continued and Arizona stepped from obscnrity never to return.
 T am glad ] crossed the San Pc dro." Ed Schieffelin said a year ago: | mot so much because struck it rich, as because it brought me close to Gird. One real man is better than all the mines that ever were found or dreamed of"
 Tn world where to be honest isl to be one mar picked out of two thousand, 1t is easy to understand why Ed Schieffelin's riches took wings. A few years and he was again on the level from whence he had risen, or nearly there. The loss Of fortune did not even annoy him. Its easy enough 10 dig more if need it. and having lot Of money is a great deal of trouble"
 About the middle of last May hio great heart stood still. They found him dead in a little cabin near Can yonville, Oregon. Nc one was with hm at the close. His will, disposlns Of an estate valued at $i06,000. or
