Ned in his mind was connecting Il
with a cavern in the gulch, when as
ne rested on one knee, looking at the
other hole just across the road. he
heard slight rustic, looking down,
he was filled with horror to see a
large rattlesnake that crawled be-
tween his feet, part of it's ugly body

His philosophizing ceased sud

wind, to see If + would gain more

motive power. 1t Is still there wait

AS Ned rode back, he went down
into the gulch at the place shown
to him, crawled over the great dam
of rocks and debris made by the
rushing and whirling of the water as
it dashes into the cavern, and fol-
lowed its course down the steep in
cline.
Not far. however. for the darkness
grew intense, and the scene at the
blowholes running through his mind.
his curiosity was soon satisfied, and
another curiosity is waiting for the
geologist, the tourist or the curious.
Early in the afternoon. Ned stood
on the hill overlooking the little VAL
ley. Never had he dreamed of such
a picture. and his wonder grew at
every step, at the endless variety OF
flowers. as he crossed the valley to a
sheep herd he saw at the edge OF the
timber.

He was given a pleasant greeting
and hearty welcome by the two
herders, and accepted the invitation
to stall all night as he left his horse

to such a questions as. "Did youi

MAJ. GEN. SHERMAN
HERE 40 YEARS AGO

Many of the pioneers of Arizona
who are in Phoenix for The Republi-
cans reunion viii recall the tour of
inspection made by Major General
Sherman 40 years ago during which
he visited many of the military posts
and forts which dotted the state at
that time.
At the time of General Shermans
visit, the Indians had been pretty
we'll quieted, but there was still the
necessity of keeping soldiers in
many parts of the state. Troops were
maintained at isolated points which
today are completely deserted.
Chief among the forts of the state
40 years ago were old Fort McDow-
ell, Whipple, Camp Verde, Huachuca,
Apache in the White Mountains,
Yuma and Grant. Large detach-
ments of troops were stationed at
these places. ready. at all times to
go into the wilderness in the pursuit
of hostile Indians.
Many OF the pioneers will also re-
member the days of General Crook,
who negotiated peace terms with the
old Indian warrier-chief Cochise,
and later reopened warfare against
the red man.

county Jail he was very fond of play
ing cards with other prisoners and
at one time was nearly killed by a
fellow prisoner following quarrel
over the game. johnson heard a
commotion in the cell and upon in
vestigating discovered the Apache
Kid being choked by his assailant
The aggressor was pulled off the un-
unconscious bandit, who was revived
with great difficulty. He lived, how
ever, to kill scores Of white settlers
throughout Arizona
The Maricopa and Pima Indians
were always friendly to the whites
and aided them in fighting the
Apaches. AT one time, Mr.. Johnson
recalls, g band of Pima Indians heard
of a party Of Apaches who were on
the war path in the Cave Creek
region The Pimas, on their way to
do battle with their enemies, stopped
at the Lum Gray place in Phoenix
for pow WOW. They went through
an elaborate war dance and then
started north after the Apaches. In
the fight the Pimas were victorious
and returned to Phoenix with two
Indian children from the Apache
tribe. Another big dance was held
and the two captives turned over to
the white men. Both of the children
were adopted and raised in the Salt
River valley.
An Exciting Episode
One of the most exciting episodes
of ,Johnson's life was enacted dur
ing his life as a prospector. He had
heard of the fabulously rich Tyopa
mine In northern Mexico which had
been worked in the early days by the
Jesuit priests and had been lost to
human knowledge after the miners
had been annihilated by the Indians.
Believing that the country had been
pretty well cleaned OF hostile Indians.
Mr.. Johnson. accompanied by several
other prospectors. started into Me&i-
co in 1884 to locate the mine. After
they had gone many miles into the
new country the small party of white
| men ran into about half a hundred
Apaches from Geronimo's tribe. The
Indians started to pursue the white
men, who struck out over the noun
tains in new direction from the one
the had been following. In their
flight the party ran into the old de-
serted Tyopa mine which they iden-
titled as the one which they had
started out to find.
Although it was due to meeting the
hostiles that the mine was found. the
americans We're compelled TO con-
tinue their flight and make their way
back to the north. The country was
so wild that they did not Immediately
afterward return, but in 1906 Mr..
Johnson, accompanied by one other
man. started into Sonora to relocate
the mine. The journey TO the mine
was such bad country, however. that
the men ran out of food and had
worn out their shoes before they
could reach 1t and were forced to turn
back.
Thinks He Can Find Mine
Mr.. johnson is confident that he
locate the mine again, and although
he is now &c years old, contemplates
going after the treasure again. 1t is
said that the Mexican government
has offered a reward of $50, 900 to the
aiscoverer of the mine and 1t Is also
the tradition that the Jesuits buried
great deal of bullion on the prop
erty before being destroyed by the
Indians.
Mr.. Johnson was railroading in 1885
when Geronimo was captured. The
old Indian warrior was carried out
OF the country on the same train
upon which Mr.. Johnson served.

chosen his road. and was riding away
to the southwark.
Most of the way there was a light
wagon track. 1t could not be called a
road without a ranch or habitatiou
for about 80 miles. The country was a
continuous picture. Mile after mile Of
low ridges. or long open valleys run
ming up TO the west. Deer or ante
iope everywhere. Stretches OF long
leaf pine, and more game till Ned
wondered If he were not in some
fairyland.
About noon he found the tank of
water he had been directed to and
riding a little farther into the timber,
he unsaddled to let the horse pick
the green grass and rest awhile.
AS Id. stood looking from the ridge.
not fewer than hundred antelope
were in plain sight, some almost
within gunshot: and to the east
scattered over what looked like an
almost level plain. hundreds of cattle
and horses completed the picture.
Here is the place where he must
decide to which of the ranges of hills
TO the southwark. ne must go TO flnd
the sheepranch, and which of the
knoiIs he must go TO the foot OF. to
find the road that lead to it.
It seemed impossible to decide. and
for the first time on the mountain
Ned felt that failure looked him in
the face. He no sooner settled on
and was one than another looked more
probable, and he was Just making up
hs mind to start haphazzard, when he
saw two young men approaching
form the northwest.
They came up and learning OF Ned's
desire they walked to the brow OF
the hill, to point out his road. While
one was doing so. the other who had
come hunting. pointed with his rifle.
and as he took careful aim. said,
s.iust look at that stump over there
with a limb sticking UP. It looks just
like a turkey. wouldn't it be pretty
shot? Looking afain through the
sights of his gun. I've notion to
to shoot at it, 1t looks so real
Then setting his gun down. turned
to Ned. with, Say. when you come
back, If you will come to the foot OF
that bare knoll. you'll see one Of the
prettiest sights on earth"
"Stump" Runs Away
Ned moved to see the hill referred
to. and was almost startled by a shrill
squeak, and the black stump that had
been aimed at so long. started off on
a run followed by six other turkeys,
that had been little farther down
the hill knowing that Wild turkeys
will run far after they get out Of
sight of what has frightened them,
the hunter caught up gun anl as soon
as they had disappeared over the bill
