Bill Fitch's Body Found.

Last Wednesday Sheriff Lane receiv- ed letter from surveyor in the em- ploy of the government, who is located at or near Burns ranch, over in the Blue Ridge range, announcing that he had found the remains of man, about three miles southwest of that place. Thursday Coroner Cohenour, accom- panied by M. G. Wagner, Osa Walker and undertaken c. R. Van Marter went out to make an investigation of the re- mains. They got back to Kingman about twelve o'clock Thursday night.
 They found the remains in deep canyon, and while the bones were somewhat scattered they were nearly all recovered. Nearly all the camp equipment of prospector was found, but the blankets and canvas had routed away. On the kyax was cut the initials w. H. F., as was also on the tool bag. Three canteens were found, one filled with water.
 w. H. (BilD Fitch disappeared from Burns ranch in August, 1905, and when his burros returned month afterward Mir. Walker, who was living at that ranch at the time, concluded that something had happened to Fitch. He made search, but was unable to discover any trace of him. He then reported the matter to the authorities and George Hanson was sent out to make a systematic search. Nothing was found, and the disappearance of Fitch was mystery until the finding of his remain in the lonely canyon clears it up. MT. Walker and the others of the party are of the opinion that Fitch became dispondent and committed suicide, although It is also probable that he got into this canyon and be- came ill and died natural death.
 Bill Fitch was known to all old tim CTS of the county. He was one of the most persistent prospectors of the old school and spent the past twenty-five years searching the hills of Mohave county for gold. He came here from California, where he mined in the placer and quartz mines. He was native of the State of New York, but came west when young man. He was aged about 73 years at the time of his death. When he was leaving MT. Walkers place, prior to his death, he stated that he had been working on some mining claims and had taken his last money to buy provision for this trip, and that it was hard for man 73 years old to be in his fix. He was rather blue over the prospect, as he did not want to become county charge. MT. Walker takes it from this conversation that he was then con- templating the destruction of himself.
 Fitch was splendid fellow, a perfect specimen of man, and one of the most genial men we ever knew,
 The remains were brought to King man and will be buried in the Kingman cemetery.
