WOMAN SEEKS
A LOST CLAIM
Former Cowgirl Hopes to Lo-
cate Mine Which Once Pro-
duCed Millions.

Los ANGELES, May 27.1Forty
years ago an Indian, who had been
relieved of great suffering by DR.. 3.
F. Bragg. told him a romantic story
OF the Lost Horse mine, and on with
cred parchment drew a map OF its To-
cation. Now Miss Annie l.. Rose, to
whom the old doctor, who was a
nephew OF Zachary Taylor, bequeathed
the secret for kindness done when
she was girl. announced that she
will soon start on her quest for the
mine.
Miss Rose is of the frontier. Fiji
teen years ago she was a cowgirl in
Southern California and in a canyon,
near Saugus, met the aged physician
who had dedicated his life to medical
work among the Indians. He was
alone and the girl cooked for him and
aided him back to the nearest town.
Years later, as he lay on his death
bed. he sent for her, drew forth the
withered parchment and bestowed it
as token of appreciation.
In 1911 Miss Rose relocated the
mine and filed two claims GOO by 5000
feet in area. For two years she did
the assessment work and then lack of
capital and her mothers illness forced
her to stop. Last year she resumed
the work and now has a good title,
she declares.
THE mine from 1S43 to 1886 pro-
duced 100000 in gold" says Miss
Rose. Then 1t was closed by order
of the church and the Indians swore
to secrecy. for California lost its
sovereignty and became part OF the
nation
'ln 1876 an Indian named Fidel, for
a consideration OF three horses, show
ed the location to Jesus Guyago and
Bronco Charley, two famous border
