PIONEER WELCOMED
 TO HIS OLD HAUNTS

i inatiOn to make brave fight to the end, he stood erect and poured sev- eral volleys into the redskins. Mr.
 St. James came up at this critical time and began firing a fusillade of bullets that astOunded the Indians. He had a Henry rifle, the first re- beating weapon that had been re- ceived in the country. The rapidity of the fire, together with the good execution, saved MT. Bentley and himself from a horrible fate. The Indians took to the brush, with the exception of three killed by Mir St. James at close range, and while they were ready to descend upon the two with their knives to begin their frightful work of mutilation. MT. St. James was also wounded in this battle, receiving a wound in the leg, that would not permit of him ad- vancing except at a slow pace
 NIT. Bentley, in his pitiable condi- tiOn, was brought to Prescott that day, a party of travellers fortunately coming along and assisting the wounded men back Eighteen days later MT. Bentley passed away as a result of his wounds, and a short time afterward his nephew left the Territory for Oakland, Cal, and ever since has made his home in Cali fornia.
 He says that he meets but few of his day that are left. In fact, ne recalls in name only those who have passed away. He is a miner by oc- eupatiOn, and has been identified with dredging enterprises near Orc vile, Cal. He is here for the bene- fit of his health, suffering with asthma. During the few days he has been at this elevation beneficial results are evident. He left Wednes- day for the southern part of the county, and will return later to re- main indefinitely.

GILLESPIE MINE ID BE OPENED
 ID DEPTH

Arriving from his new camp at the FGillespie mine, in Black Canyon dis. triet, Sunday, Forrest Mckinley states that all arrangements are per. feeted for beginning work. Several new buildings have been erected and the purpose is now to go ahead with development on the old workings. He has purchased a whim, for pres ,snt uses, and will clean out the old shafts and drifts, which contain a heavy tonnage of ores. The output will be shipped to the smelter. He contemplates reaching great depth, and from his observations is sanguine of success.
 In the group acquired are six old and well known gold producers of 'early days, which have been idle sev. eral years. When worked by the arastra process the yield in free gold was heavy. Since entering that sec. ton and since work has been resumed on the above mines, Mir Mckinley states that quite a rush is going on to secure locations in the vicinity while. at other points several mine, are running successfully.
