POINTS OF INTEREST NEAR WILLIAMS

It is not the intention of this
 article to start a gold rush, but
 merely to recite a bit of local
 history and to provide the per son who delights in walking
 with a new and exceedingly in teresting path to travel.
 Some twelve or fourteen
 years ago an old-time resident
 of Williams was enroute back
 East to his old home. While
 riding through Colorado the
 train stopped at small station
 and was boarded by substan-
 tial looking gentleman who seated himself by the side of the
 man from Williams. Present
 ly they engaged in conversation
 and the stranger asked the Arl-
 zonian from whence he came.
 The latter replied that he was
 from Williams, Arizona, and
 was on his way to visit his old
 home in Missouri. The strang-
 CT evinced much interest on
 learning that the gentleman
 was from Williams, and inn mediately related a story which he later partially confirm ed with documentary evidence that is of much local interest. 'I have been intending to go to Williams for the past twenty years" said the stranger, for,
 with the papers 1 have in my
 possession, I believe a paying mine can be found there" Then he proceeded to relate that his uncle and a companion went to Arizona in 1861; that while there they found paying ledge of rock on-as he called it-"Mount Bill Williams" there during part of 1861 and until sometime in the fa1i of 1862, during which time they succeeded in horning several thousand dollars in gold dust | from the rock in question. During the fall of the latter year the two men were attack ed by a small party of Indians. They succeeded in escaping from the Indians, but one of | the men was severely wounded and reached a small town in New Mexico, where he later died from the effects of an ar row wound. The survivor, who was the strangers uncle, re- turned East and there related to friends. his adventures in Arizona. This man died be- fore the completion of the At antic 6 Pacific Railroad into but left to certain rel atives a sketch of Bill Williams Mountain and a description of he location of the ledge upon which he and his companion 1ad worked.
 The two fellow travellers be- ;ame quite intimate before the md of their journey, and the stranger promised to send his :, friend from Arizona the sketch { md description left him him by . lis uncle. Several months af- , CT returning from his visit I Cast, the man from Williams t vas one day surprised to re- .eive through mail letter rom the stranger, in which was nclosed a fairly accurate ] ketch of Bill Williams Noun ' ain.

1 description of certain we'll
 known marks on the mountain
 that could not have been made by one not acquainted with it.. /: The description began with the high pointed rock on the east ern slope, continued around to the northeast through the quaking asps describing exactly the formations and nature of the mountain at these points. Disquieting however was the
 mention of spring in the quak-
 ing asps which had never been
 heard of by the man from Will
 Hams. He made diligent in
 quiry as to whether or not such
 a spring ever existed there and
 to this day the question is un-
 settled. A number of old
 timers claim such 8 spring at
 one time did exist, while others
 say it did not.
 The description mentioned
 certain blazed trees, both pine and quaking asp, which began
 9 certain distance from the
 point of rock aud continued to the spring. These trees, if they were blazed in 1861-six- ty one years ago-should still show their marks, but after this lapse of time would be hardly preceptible to other than an experienced eye.
 Somewhere, from the high point of rock around through the pines and quaking asps, the ledge of rock exists from which these men claim to have obtain ed gold values. In this con- nection it should not be over- looked that several years ago a valuable gold nugget was pick ed up in Santa Fe Canyon, which started an ex-county of ficlal Tn his mining operations here. Another fine nugget was found in a canyon south of the point of rock, while several 1 others have been found, but not | in the vicinity in question.
 Nearly every Sunday parties ascend Bill Williams in the spring, fall and summer. Every party that ascends takes one of the two trails. No mountain in Arizona affords a grander view than does Bill Williams, and no mountain in Arizona is easier to climb. Its summit can be approached from any side if not on horseback, and t will amply repay anyone who 1as ascended it from beaten rails to try it from other ang- es.
 One of the easiest and most picturesque routes up Bill Will jams is to go out to the Ben nam Place and approach the from the east, making he Point of Rock referred to heretofore as your first objec- i've. When you reach this point, proceed around the to the north amid he pines and quaking asps md you will be following in general way the description made by the pioneers over six y years ago.
