Returns from
Lost Skeleton Nine

Gust Muntcr returned this week from
an extensive auto trip in the southern
part of the state. MIR. Munter started
for his mine in Death valley hut was
unable to complete the trip owing to
automobile trouble.
The mine located by Mr.. Munter is
near the famous Poison spring, where
the skeleton remains of fifteen people
were found some time ago. The waters
Of the spring are now declared to be
drinkable, but the skeletons of human
beings and horses with the decaying
parts OF wagons indicate a tragedy Of
earlier days.
one of the relies found by Mr.. Mnnt-
er on his last trip to the locality was
an iron-handled doublejack. This
style of hammer was discarded years
ago and would indicate that the un-
fortunate prospectors or emigrants had
met their tragic death many years ago
In the dry hea OF Death valley re-
mains like these viii last for many
years.
The first ~discoNerar Of the skeletons
named the nearby water Poison springs,
hut later explorers nay determined
the waters 10 be harmless.
Mr.. hunters theory of the cause of
the death of such a number in one
place IS that the travellers may nave
watercd at the salt spring which is en-
countered before reaching the Poison
springs. and after drinking his water
were so famishe1 with thirst when
they reached the next springs that
men and horses drank so much II
caused death.
rhe theory Of an Indian massacre
has been advanced. but the remains OF
The wagons do not appear to have been
burned II the skulls 10 not show
signs Of having been crushed.
