He Immediately came on foot to
Jerome and left the next day by train
for Williams where he proposed to
join some companions and return to
the scene of the discovery, prepared
to locate, if possible, the ground from
which the ore had been taken.
There was not the faintest clue as
to the identity of the men and it was
apparent that the bodies had been
lying where they were found for sew
eral years. The body Of the man shot
through the forehead was in fair
state of preservation but dried to an
unrecognizable mummy. A blue denim
shirt was in a fair state of preServa-
tion and the trousers were also whole.
The other body was torn, apparently
by coyotes. The line by which the
mules were hitched was still attached
to their brides and the harness was
still in position. 1t was evident that
the animals had starved to death
where they stood. y
The Englishman brought with him
a specimen Of gold ore that seemed
half solid metal and he declared that
there is heap of several tons of the
same stuff lying beside the arrastra
floor.
The Englishman could frame no the
ory other than the one that must oc-
cur to everybody, that the men had
discovered tremendously rich out
cropping and had begun to work it;
that they had built the arrastra and
had hauled several loads Of ore pre-
paratory to beginning extraction; that
perhaps they had quarreled or per-
haps that Indians killed them and
that the bodies have laid where they
were found for many years.
He promised to return to Jerome
and give further particulars after he
and his associates had revisited the
gulch and completed their locations.
There appears not the slightest
doubt of the correctness of the story
and certainly the ore that he brought
with him was of almost unthinkable
richness. If his statement that there
are several tones of the same stuff at
| the a1rastra is true, he and his friends
are rich men today.

UNPRETENTIOUS

A certain painter is confined in an
asylum. To persons who visit him, he
says:
'Look at this; it is my latest mas
ter-piece."
They look and see nothing but an
expanse of bare canvas. They ask:
"What does that represent 2"
"That? Why that represents the
passage of the Israelites through the
Red Sea-"
"Beg pardon, but where is the
sea 2"
at has been driven back"
"And where are the Israelites 2"
"They have crossed over"
"And the Egyptians" 2"

DEAD MEN GUARD GOLD
ON FOSSIL CREEK; AN

ore piled at one side of the arrastra
and covered several feet deep with
