ing Of the trouble; dreaming Of noth- ing. only working away, never think. ing for a moment of what was coming. Not so with Al schiefeiin. He re. membered well how he used to work around in difficult places, where he. himself dare not go. and it remained with Al to solve the enigma. lie very naturally chose the man with whom he had been associated for so long time. Accordingly, he wrote 10 Gus Barron to come and help them out: he sent the letter by courier. Barron came and took charge of the mines. and supeTintended the development of them; and according to Dick Gird's story, it was not long before Gus Bar ron was furnishing more ore than tho mills could handle. The result was as we have stated in Barron's story dividend was declared monthly That was what all expert miner could do- in those days. Miners og that class were scarce, and in the development of the mines Gus Barron is 10 be credited with the success that was achieved as well as the owners.
 In closing this article We call at- JeHliOn TO the ItGJ that there are nefe residing in Tombstone, and who have made it and the county their home, those who have taken part in the ups and downs of this district. eleven men who were here in 1879, and some prior: Ben Cook.

would have put 10 rest all the trumped up stories that have been told by persons who knew nothing only from hearsay. Although Gird was very gen. erous in dividing up with the Schief felin brothers the amount over what they had received. and making the share or money of each alike. still he might have thought t 100 much to have given equal credit. It is certain that. had it not been for Ed Schieffelin. and the fact cannot be denied. Dick Gird never would have been known out side oI the ordinary shelter man. Gus Barron gives us a better insight to Ed Schieffelin's movements than Gird, and still there is a something lacking that is not explained. h making this statement there is one point of which we must not lose sight, and we take this from Gird's own story: Neither Richard Gird. Ed Schieffelin nor Al Schieffelin were expert miners. Richard Gird was 8 mill man. assayer, and surveyor; he lays no claim to being a miner. Ed 9chioffelin was a prospector and not miner. He could not, when ne was superintendent of the mines, furnish the necessary amount or ore to run ten stamp mill Al Schieffelin. al. though having some experience in mining. considered the responsibility too much for him, and would have nothing to do with it. This does not detract from these men in any man ner Of the knowledge of what they had already accomplished; but they had come to very important period, when it required g master hand at the helm. a man that was skilled in the business. 1t was a critical posi- tion in which they found themselves; it required an expert miner to develop the mines as il should he done. Who would be the man to lead them out Of the difficulty was the important question. Many, had the chances been offered, would have undertaken the task.

 think the foregoing statements of Richard Gird and Gus Barron. parties who were the most interested in the development of the Tombstone Mining distrhet together with the records Of locations of the mines, and the deeds conveying the mines to other parties. as noted. should convince the most skeptical that this is the true story of the discovery of the mines, and the development Of the Tombstone dis trict. This is no fancy story but a plain statement of facts. Richard Gird. in writing the true story of tn ing Of the district and the city of Tombstone, made a grand mistake in not giving a detailed statement Of the wanderings of Ed Schieffelin prior to their first meeting at Signal. in Jan uary, 1878. It was a sure thing that Ed had been roaming around to find the piece Of black rock, that Gird speaks about in his story. And it is just as certain that Ed had been in the neighborhood where now stands the city of Tombstone. or he never could have taken Dick Gird to the direct spot spoken of in Gird's story Of the find, and where Gird and Ed took out more ore of the same kind; and it is just as certain that Ed had tramped over the hills in search of minerals. Dick Gird must have been cognizant of all of Eds wanderings. It is but natural 10 suppose that Gird had made inquiry from Ed or his brother Al. for either Of them could have imparted the knowledge to Gird without him seeking the information.

 And that reminds me. Everybody among the old-timers will remember Joe Doherty, who died at the Conner cial in Phoenix a number of years ago When he was on his deathbed he called me in and told me Of a wonderful discovery he had made in '6l, but from which he was driven by the Indians He told me that it vas miles from the Empire Flat, but that he could not locate it more than that it was about 9 miles from the river He said that if he had the dump alone-the material that came from 15-foot hole--he would be rich. He said that the doctors had told him he must die, aud that maybe I could find the mine, in which case twas mine of course. Well, Jim died, and soon after I went back to the mine in the Empire Flat which I was then in charge of When I had again got the run of things l began hunting for Doherty's mine, not succeeding till I had secured the country in reg ular cross sections. In this way one fine morning I unexpectedly came upon the dump. It glistened like a lot of diamonds, and there was more gold there than quartz, actually a fact went wild took a good quar- tity Of samples from the dump and CaFted them to the mine. and then took them t0 Congress. showing them to my wife. She was wild, too, and immediately began planning on what we could do. Our oldest daughter was then running a weekly paper at. HealdsbuTg. California, besides doing 3 deal of translating; and my wife de cided that we sould get her to dispose of the paper and go with us on trip to Europe. There was feet of this ore in the bottom of the shaft, you must remember. Then took some of the rock to the assayer at Congress.
