Jackrabbits TAX e
Over Ghost City
Bv WILLIAM TURNBOW

United Press Staff Correspondent
Within less than half century,
Pinal, which at one time had a po-
pulation of 1000, has become one OF
Arizona's ghost cities.
It was a common sight back IN
the 8Os to see rumbling down PlnaiS
main street mule teams hauling wa
CONS of ore from the Silver King
mine, from which $17,OOO,OOO worth
of almost pure silver was taken.
But today only jackrabbits, per-
haps a Gila monster, now run where
one of Arizona's leading cities once
prospered. MOI even the crumbling
walls of the Pinal County Bank
building, constructed of stone, now
stands.
Many Arizonans still recall the
davs when they rode on the backs
of burros over the mountains into
the mining settlement on Queen
creek.
Colonel Thompson's arboretum,
the only dry climate arboretum In
the world, today stands on the site
of Pinal, a fitting memorial to the
CITY which rose to great heights on
ly to fall into destruction when ore
gave out.
From the little military post OF
Picket Post, which was maintained
during the period of operations ag-
ainst hostile Apache Indians, Pinal
doomed at the discovery OF silver.
Picket Post village was established
in 1878, and named after Picket
Post mountain, from the top OF
which Indians viewed the surround
ing country and prepared attacks
on wagon trains.
In 1880 the villages name was
changed to Pinal. Nearby, General
Stoneman, who later served as gov
ernor OF California, had charge OF
the military post.
The first school was established
in 1879 and had an attendance OF
so pupils, according to early records
of the famous mining city.
Pinal thrived. Homes were built,
q newspaper was established, chur-
ches constructed and streets made.
Saloons and gambling places were
erected to provide entertainment for
grizzled miners. On Queen creek a
stamp mill was built.
Dan R. Williamson, state histor-
ian, has gained possession of an Ari-
IONA Business Directory and Gazet-
teer, issued in 1881. Many interest
ing details of the progress of Pinal
were given in the book.
The city's only newspaper was
called 1.-THE Pinal Drill which
furnished the inhabitants of news
from abroad" j. de Noon Reymert
was editor and publisher of the
Drill.
Included in the prominent men Of
the city in 1881 were George L. Mil
Ter, postmaster; Aaron Mason, super
intendent of Silver King Mining
Company and R. E. Kennedy, de-
putty sheriff of Pinal county.
During Pinals brief history, Ma
sonic, Odd Fellows and Knights OF
Pythias lodges were established.
A bright future was forecast for
Pinal until the ore at Silver King
gave cut. Then the city started to
fade away" and almost as fast as
they came, inhabitants began NOV
ing away.
Within g few miles of the old
TOWN. ste, Superior has been built,
And farther away, Arizona's newest

There was long pause, and then
he added:
That's why you're not going to be
around the house"
He looked up at one of the men
thoughtfully.
Nogales international., 1930-07-08

"That's all right, sir" said the other
more respectfully, ''but Mr.. Connor
does want to see you pretty badly.
Where is he?" asked Luke after a
moments thought.
"At the top of Savoy Hill-there
goes the Squad"
A car flashed past at that moment; ;
the red light disappeared along the
Embank1nent.
They call 'etn busies and they are
busy" said the second man bitterly.
They did not go up Savoy Hill but
turned aside, passed one entrance OF
the Savoy Hotel and up a steep and
narrow street. They turned again to
the right.

"I'll tell you in a minute, when I've
got a light for my fag," said the
smaller of the two.
He struck match, and Luke's eyes
instinctively went to it. That is all he
remembered. He did not feel the pain
of any blow, but dropped Imply to the
pavement under the impact of rubber
Gosh.
His head was splitting when he
came to his senses. He was lying on
the hard floor of a jolting motor car !;
he discovered afterward it was tilt
ing Ford wagon that bore innocuously
enough the name of a respectable firm
of greengrocers. The two men were
squatting by his side; one was smok-
ing, and they were carrying on a con-
versation in low voice. a...s...
&c. That's what Connor told me, ="
said one. But then, Connor always
thought this nut would put up a
squeal."
Luke lay motionless; his head was
throbbing, but he felt no other discom-
fort. Apparently, although he could
guess there was bump as big as ar
egg on his skull, the blow had not
drawn blood.
The car stopped. There was the
creak Of a gate being opened, and then
they went forward again, jolting over
uneven ground; presently the car
stopped and the engine was shut off.
Are you awake?" asked voice.
I'm awake all right" said Luke.
"Then get out of this. Why was
you so foolish, Smith? ?"
A mild question from a man who
only ten minutes before, had stunned
him.
He found himself in room not only
furnished but overfurnished.
Connor was sitting at table shut
fling a pack Of cards. He looked ur
as Luke entered the room.

asked pleasantly.
The man who held Luke's arm
grinned.
"He wouldn't be sensible" he said
"Sit down. Connor pointed to q
horsehair sofa against the wall, and
Luke was glad to accept the invitation
Tried to put up Squeal, did you

There was nothing unfriend1y II
Connor's tone, but he did not cease
shuf1ing the cards as he spoke.
Il thought you were man wher
you did that bust-yes, one OF my
lads saw you get into that flat, anc
saw you when you bolted. But you're
nothing better than a dirty squealer
Went in the Yard and asked for the

Mr.. Connor nodded pleasantly.
"And then you tried to get him or
the phone-what was the squea
about? Don't trouble to tell me:

Despite his aching head, Luke coule
not but smile at this libel. o

He cut the pack into two, shuf1ins
them scientifically, and all the time hi
eyes were on Luke.

"Danty More11?" he asked.

Connor nodded. Again his dark eyes

Connor carried on legitimate if un-
profitable business. He was a dealer
in certain building material, and
barges came regularly but at rare in
tervals to this wharf and were un-
loaded. He bought and sold scrap
iron, cement, any commodity which
offered an immediate profit. The
wharf could be, and was, hired for a
fee.
A few PAGES from the door of the
sitting room they came to another
Luke could not help wondering
whether the little chamber into whit i
he was thrust had been used before
for the same purpose. 1t had no Win
dows, but IN other respects was curl-
ously like a prison cell. 1t might have
been employed for the storage of coal
but there was nothing in it now, not
even bed or a stool. In the light o.
the mans electric torch he saw tha:
the walls were of brick and white
washed. Then the door slammed C,l
him; he heard a bolt shot, and ne was
left alone with the unpleasant lnowl-
edge that it would be high tide in
five hours, and that Mr.. Connor, in
his amiable way, had planned "a Dip

Margaret found several sheets OF
notepaper on the floor of Lulle's room
She pickedtup one, read it and gasped
The date had been scraWled III on the
top line, and it began:
My dear Hubert, I am in
most terrible
It was Luke's writing It was Luke
who had been there that night She
found another sheet covered with
smudged writing; this also was adj
dressed to the solicitor, but the three
scrawled lines were undeci pherable
He had deliberately crossed them out
Evidently he had sat down to write a
letter to Hubert, had made two at
tempts and then had changed his mind
1t was SO like Luke: he could never
resist the temptation offered by a sheet
of note paper-he must write to some
body, he had often told her.
Luke had been here; Luke was the
burglar But why?
She turned to the detective, and il
was on the tip of her tongue to make
the revelation when he said something
that struck speech from her lips.
He must have been pretty bad
man, that fe11ow-one of our men rec
ognized him as the chap who was driv-
ing car this afternoon when Taft
anny's was robbed. He gave one Of
the shop assistants punch in the
jaw"
But that's impossible!" she said in
dignantly. "This man"
"Ah, you've read about it in the
papers-a bearded man. That's right
madam, he's taken his beard off this
afternoon. Johnson-that's the officer
saw him driving with girl arounc
the park"
Again speech died on her lips.
"They got her tonight" said the
communicative detective. "Mr. Cor
toms pretty certain she'll put up (
squeal--I mean to say, she'll tell who
her companion was. From all accounts
he's man who's been seen about witt
her a great deal in the past year o.

The cab drew up at the entrance OF

down the declivity and into the gloomy

challenged him and asked his re-
