 OLD CRIMES
MINE ABANDONED MANY YEARS AGO GIVES UP A BIG CACHE OF LOOT STORED AWAY BY UN- KNOWN PARTIES.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

In starting a camp in the Date Crecl; range, to reopen an old aban- doned gold mine, to which he had
 been directed by a pioneer named
 Wallace of the Wenden country, George P. Steinway was astounded when an old drift from the main shaft was cleared, and he found many arti- clcs which had been used in the long ago.
 Mir. Stcinway was visitor to Pres colt Saturday and Sunday last. and his collection of relics was viewed by many. The mixed goods were found in a stope of an old drift, about $ feet from the surface, and were wrap ped in what appears to have been a gunny sack. Some of the articles were silver watches, two gold rings, two pair of spectaclcs, small combs, three pocket knives a woman'S coral comb three inches wide and five inches long. three pair of scissors, two thimblcs, lady's silver breast pin with an opal setting, fob chain with a miniature Maltese cross there on, silver chains, pockctbooks and many articles of personal use. Where they came from or what prompted the person to store them away at that point, caused speculation among many old-timc residents who viewed the collection and revived many criminal deeds of the long ago in one line and another in this section Stage hold ups were mentioned and the loot, it was claimed came from that source The Wickcnburg Indian massacre of 1872 was revived, and several Killings by the Apache were naturally gone over again, when men slain were re- licvcd of all personal effects.
 Mir Stcinway stated that in all there were 59 articles found. He also said that the last record of the prop crty being worked, according to what he could learn from old-timcrs was about 1870, when it was known as the Moscow, with A II. Peoples in charge Nr, Wallace says, however, he was at at later date, and drove a freight team to Camp Date creek, and the mine was then active. Mir Stcinway left for Peoria, Illinois, his home. on Sunday, but will return in q few weeks.

WESTERN SPORTS ELECTR|FY THE
 FASTENER
TOURISTS AT CASTLE HOT SPRINGS GIVEN A TASTE OF REAL DOINGS ON THE RANGE BY YAVA- PAI COWBOYS.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

The cowboy tournament held at Castle Hot Springs last week met with the enthusiastic approval of the Eastern guests wintering at that re- sort, numbering over 200.
 The cowboys of this section who entertained as we'll as electrified those beyond the Mississippi were gener- ously treated, and performed their feats in a manner which earned them much eclat
 The two days program was carried out by some of the best in this coun- ty, among them being such artists as Doc" Pardee, Billy Simon, Bill Wheeldon, Clark Wingart, Bill Shoup. Walter Cline, and dozen other range knights. There was bulldogging, roping the bovine, cowpony races, broncho busting, steer riding, flag contests and line of cowboy sports which included everything usually pulled off on occasions of this kind. The affair cost something like Sl 900 which sum was easy as one of the guests stated, when entrusted with the enjoyment given and the informa- ton imparted. The boys were hosts at dance given in their honor at the windup of the field festivities, and the hoe-down quadrillc made the doings of the day still more interesting, clos ing what many stated was the best line of real movies which had ever been witnessed. On leaving the boys were escorted up the creek ten miles, and in the open farewell lunch was given in their honor

The rider held on. After a few minutes of hitting the high places, Owlsey refused to be piled on the ground This event proved quite a diversion and the na- tivcs went forward to extend con gratulations to their brother of the range, even if he was somewhat older, and had been out of practice for halt a century or so.
 The special cowpony race was an- other fine illustrian of equestriennc doings, in which Mrs. Hyde, of Wichita, Kansas, came down the creek bed at a swift pace as an easy winner, while her daughter, Miss Hyde, was a close second. Miss Dutro. of Prescott, was third.
 The fancy rope exhibition given by Bill Whecldon, attracted admiration for his skillful manner in weaving the implement of the range. and his man ipulationS were voted by the young ladies at the resort as astounding. The girls immediately got into action, and when Whccldon left the camp his three ropes were missing.
