MINE |S FOUND l N DRY
 BEAVER CREEK
Sober Account of Marvel of Ma ture Near Montezuna's Well, Where Blasting Out Water Hole Reveals 300 Blind Trout
From Tuesdays Daily)

1 IT rom lucSudy $ DalIy)
 They mine copper by tearing off
 the side of mountain to get at the
 ore and they salt stock by driving
 them up to a cliff which is largely
 sodium chloride and they have dem
 ocrats and other curiositics in that !interesting region between the Black Hills and the Mogollon rim, but the curiousest thing Gf truc) is blasting
 for fish.
 On a large number of things he says are good and holy, Chairman
 Midgley of the board of supervisors declares that the story of the dyna- hitting of 800 blind suckers and
 trout out of the bed of the Dry Beaver, is true.
 It occurred on the Mcintyre ranch near Bill Backs Montczuma We'll The critters were having to journey a long way to water and the hands thought they might be able to gougc a little spring out of the bed of the creek where there has always been a little seepagc. This secpage, it was said, was the only moisture in the bed of the creek for miles. The diggcrs encountered rock and they took to dynamite A blast was touched off which blew out a hole about s by 10 feet and with the debris, a perfect pocket of fish. There, were suckers and trout and they were blind. Some reached the length of ten inches.
 It is the theory, according to Midglcy, that the fish were grad ually holed up in some sort of an underground pool by the declining waters of the creek, and when the beds surface became utterly dry, | enough fish were left below to make l little colony. For years, perhaps | of years, the fish remained | there, propagating slowly and grad lally losing the use of their eyes, put possibly acquiring some com 9cnsating sense in its place.
 Whether or not the prospcctors will attempt to mine the creek bed or sea food, is not announced. The are, however, that the supply is limited and that the 'tringcr will not bear expensive de- ,elopmcnt.

HOT LUNCHES GIVEN
 VERDE SCHOOL KIDS
(From Tuesdays Daily)


 Two Verde valley schools arc serving hot noon lunches to their pupils, according to Mrs. Ward H. Wheeler, county superintendent of schools, who returned yesterday afternoon from a weeks visit to the schools of that district.
 The two schools, the Middle Verde and the Clemenceau, serve at least one hot dish and one hot drink to the students, served with the lunches they bring from home These dishes usually consist of hot soup or stew, and coffee or choco- late. The hot dishes at the Middle Verde are served on a pro-rata basis, while those at the Clemenceau school are charged for at five cents. The Verde schools, Mrs. Wheeler stated, are uniformly good. On her trip, Mrs. Wheeler visited every school in the valley save those at Beaver Creek and Squaw Peak. A slight epidemic of grippe was mo- ticeable in many of the schools, cut ting attendance down somewhat.

The absence from Mayer, where he visited frequently, since Febru- ary IS, caused the friends of John Patton, mining man and for some time past watchman on the Stoddard properties, to begin search for him Friday night. This search was un- successful. Several parties of min ing men are said to have visited the cabin where Patton lived to inspect the property, but returned to Mayer without having located the man.
 Friday nights search was con- ducted by Jim Lee and George and E. B. Mcdonald.
 Yesterday morning, a second party including John Funk, John Ripling and Andy Powers, went to the place and found the body. A number of officials were summoned, including Justice of the Peace D. N. Jenkins, who later acted as coroner, and Sheriff Warren c. Davis, who was joint owner with Patton of a group of mining claims in the Mayer dis
 Evidence of Murder
 Evidence of murder was said to have been plain. The body lay about 200 feet from the front door of the cabin. Two bullet holes pierced it, having the appearance of entering from the back. Eighty feet away were found two empty 3O-30 cart ridges. Nothing appeared to have been disturbed about the cabin, but the body had been rolled down-hill and probably robbed of about $25, Sheriff Davis said.
 The jury which was summoned by the coroner, returned verdict about noon to the effect that Pat ton came to his death by reason of gunshot wounds, inflicted by per sons unknown.
 Has Two Children
 John Patton has lived in and | about Mayer for 20 years and was one of the best known of its mining l men. He has always been identi- lied with that industry here.
 There are no relatives living ill these parts. It is understood the old man had two children, said to DC in Montana but whose married | names arc not known.
 Sheriff Davis, who was associated with Patton, is understood to be irving to locate the children.
 The body, which was discovered | It o'clock yesterday, will be buried this afternoon at ? o'clock II the Mayer cemetery.
