REBUILDING DAM
BRINGS BACK MEMORIES
From Thursdays DaiIy.l

Thomas Leavitt, who is in the city
from the Lower Hassayampa, states
that the rebuilding of the Walnut
Grove dam. which seems to be an
assured fact for the near future,
has occasioned many to recall the
disaster that occurred on 1890, when
so many people were drowned, and
incidentally the subject of lost treas
ures has been the theme of consid-
cradle discussion among old time
residents of that region.
The big safe washed away from
the lower dam, and as yet not re-
covered" says Leavitt, is a very
interesting topic to be revived after
so many years have passed away.
This property was owned by the
late Robert Brow, and was located
in his holdings on the night OF the
disaster. 1t was washed away, at
any rate, and months of diligent
searching failed to give the remot-
est idea OF where it was cached
in the quick sands of the Hassay-
ampa. 1t contained pay checks OF
the company valued at over 5000
currency. gold dust. jewelry, dia-
monds and other valuables of 4
total valuation OF over $4,000.
During his life. Mr.. Brow main
tanned many prospectors along the
stream, as well were many indivi-
duals active for years afterward in
an effort to solve the problem OF
the missing treasure. Not the
slightest trace has ever been CLEAN
ed OF the resting place of the safe
and the theory prevailed that it wa.
imbedded under immense boulders
instead of lying on the sands OF the
bedrock, and consequently hunter:
misjudged the exact location. The
river was trenched at vari-
Gus phases and in the dg
gregate in time given and money ex
pended, several thousand dollar.
were consumed. Leavitt states wher
active dam building resumes, it is
probable there will be many to agar
indulge in an effort to seek anc
find the rich deposit, several being
ready to enter the field as soon a:
weather conditions are more agree.

MINE OWNERS i.
WANT WAGON ROAD
(Fron Saturdays Daily)

Crown King and adjacent country
is to be relieved of its isolation
from wagon road communication
and movement is now going on
to have an outlet at or near Hooper
on the State highway, where con
nection can be had with the old
county road running through Min
nehaha Flat.
A committee consisting of Forest
Supervisor Ancona, J. P. Wa1dron
and John Jackson has been selected
to make a reconnaissance out of
Bradshaw Basin to the above point
and form an estimate OF the ex-
pense necessary to build. The cost
will be very small This road will
restore wagon communication to a
large section of active mining coun-
try, and it is due to the fact OF
many mines resuming in that belt.
that the movement now going on
has every resident behind it.
Under present conditions Crown
King is shut out SO far as a wagon
road is to be considered, and relies
solely on the railroad that at the
present time runs but two trains
per week into the camp. The many
interested in the country are handi-
capped in business dealings with the
outside, accordingly. Leaving Crown
King on Monday afternoon, the re-
turn trip cannot be negotiated until
the following Friday. Another mo-
tive for the present road movement
is said to be due to reports in cir
culation that but one train a week
is to be run out of this city to
Crown King. which if carried out
will necessitate a Bradshaw resident
spending over SIX days in the city
before he will be able 10 return and
look after his interests.

his side Jared it loose, when the
shot was set off by the trigge- COM

ENGLISH WRITER ACCEPTS
BID IN VERSE
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Selwyn Ivers Ramsay, a fire.
quent contributor to the columns
OF the London illustrated News
and the National Geographic Maya
zine and writer of considerable
note, was in Prescott during the
Frontier Days. He liked Yavapai
county and expressed desire to
Governor Hunt, in whose party
he came, to revisit these friendly
scenes again.
Ramsay is now writing some
articles on prison conditions at
Florence and as soon as he has
finished he will return to Yavapai
and make a trip to Montezuma's
Castle, Montezuma's Well and the
Verde Valley in search of further
Arizona data Secretary Fraser
of the Chamber of Commerce some
days ago invited him to make this
trip beginning August l. His
answer is in rhyme:
"Oh for messy bank and a rip
ping stream:
Where one might loaf, and loll
and dream.
Where sand and cactus and lizards
are not;
And the cares of life are all for
got.
Then with the book-and jug-and
All that were paradise snow.
OH for the campfire glow and
the autos hum;
On mountain trip where one
could bum, and frolic and sing
to his hearts delight;
And spin good yarns till late at
night.
these pleasures, I ween, may all
be found
A mile high up-where the mines
abound
OH I'll be along, and that soon
too.
To swap some good strong tales
with you.
Well take some joy-in bushel lots
and scatter it over the barren
spots
Sure and I'll tarry there while.
Up that mile, to have a smile.
The muse is weak, the meters
wrong;
AT rimeing I'm net very strong.
But you'll agree, my logic's sound.
To look for pleasant camping
ground;
In the hearts and land Of friends
like you
Who send invites that ring so true"

From FRIDAYS DaiIvl

pending program of repairing Yava-

ing year.
Just what portion OF the county
will be mostly benefited By the
road program for the coming year
is a matter open to conjecture. At
the present time. the board has in
mind only the repairing AMI open
ing up OF the old Black Canyon
road, a subject of more than ordi-
nary proportions The trip north
yesterday also signifies the inten-
ton Of the county fathers to do
some extensive repairing OF Yava-

Fe trail, thus connecting the links
OF Coconino and Mohave coun-
ties and giving this county the re
putation OF possessing not only the
best strip of road in the State high

Mrs. Cole was out of town when the
robbery occurred and when she reach
ed home and discovered her loss, she
gent for the sheriff, who with num-
Der of men started out to arrest the
boys. When they learned they We're
to be arrested the boys came to Ma
chias and purchased provisions and
with them took to the woods, where
they have since remained. All search,
thus far, has failed to reveal their hid
ing place.
The boys are armed with a 20-gauge
shotgun, a rifle, and each boy carries
a revolver and knife and 1t is said
they have provisions enough TO last
them a month and plenty of ammuni-
ton The task of taking the boys is a
very dangerous one for they have
said that they mean to defend them
selves against all corners. 1t is re-
ported here they said they hoped to
have the pleasure of killing at least
one man before they are captured.
Several petty crimes have occurred
in the vicinity during the winter and
spring among them the robbery OF a
sporting camp at the head of Marks
lake, belonging to Nathan Bowker OF
Waterviile. Bedding and a quantity
of provisions were stolen. At the pres
ent time il is extremely dangerous for
anyone to venture far into the woods
at any time.
