EOWARD SCHIEFFELIN ONE OF TOMB- STONE’S DISCOVERERS.

Srue Stories of a Most Typical Western Prospector—How the Schieffelin Broth- ers and Dick Gird Struck It Rich In Tombstone Gulch,

The Pacific coast newspapers have been full of stories about Edward Schieffelin, one of the discoverers of the Tombstone mines, who wes found dead in a cabin in eastern Oregon. His remains, according to his wish, now rest upon the top of a granite peak two miles west of Tombstone, A. T. He de-

sired, he said, ‘‘to be buried in the garb’

of a prospector, my old pick and can- teen with me, and a monument such as prospectors build when locating a min- ing claim built over my grave and no other monument or slab erected.’’

It seems to be generally felt through- out the Pacific coast that this plain, ignorant, kind hearted old pioneer and prospector, who had traveled many thousands of miles in search of new mints, has thus unconsciously made his mark upon our romance and history. That lonely granite cairn in the desert, rising upon the extreme point of a tree- less promontory, will long be pointed out as the grave of one of the most fa- mous of Ameriean prospectors.

Ed Schieffelin’s one great strike yielded him fully a third of $1,000,000. At various times in his adventurous eareer he plodded ea over the wildest portions of the Rocky moun- tains and Sierras, he visited Alaska, Mexico, South America and South Africa, but never again found. such a mine. When he died, his fortune, at one time said to be over $500,000, had greatly decreased by reason of bad in- vestments and costly expeditions.

The story of the finding of Tomb- stone, that briefly famous Arizonian mining city, has been told in many different ways, until itis fast becom- ing one of the most attractive of Pacific coast myths. The simple facts are that late in the seventies the two Schieffelin brothers and Dick Gird were prospect- ing, sometimes together, sometimes separately, in various districts of Ari- zona and New Mexico. It was a time of terrible Indian outbreaks, and the Apaches were on the warpath, killing lonely miners and prospectors, attack: ing the stage eoaches and running off cattle. Ed Schieffelin finally wandered into the neighborhood of a disputed claim, the Bronco, where eight men had been shot in various attempts to de-

gines ever seen on the coast.

yiel@ed fora time but soon ran out, and the camp sank into decay.

The first time I met Schieffelin, that most typical of western prospectors, was about six years ago. After hearing some of lws picturesque prospector yarns I told him about the various treasure expeditions to Coos island and the legends which had caused these ex- citements. He seized upon the glitter- ing tale of diamond hilted swords, bags of doubloons and bars of gold with the faith of achild and at once offered to fit out a schooner for the islands and to pay my expenses as well as give mea third of the treasure if I would go along to repeat the legend as often as desired.

_ He had prospected for almost every-

thing, he said, except pirate treasuzes, and he wanted those diamond hilted swords to ‘‘put in his parlor.”’

I did not know at that time the story about his parlor: Having bought a $7,000 house in the town of Alameda, he kept several tons of quartz ip one corner, on top of which his old pros- pecting tools, burro’s saddle and camp outfit reposed when not in use. I never heard what his wife thought of this: unique furniture, but there is no doubt that the diamond hilted swords would have rested peacefully on the quartz pile, and it was with sincere regrets that I acknowledged to him my entire lack of faith in the picturesque Spanish legend of Coos island.

schieffelin’s: Alaska experiences have long deserved. a chronicler. He fitted out an expedition years ago and pros-

pected over vast areas of. that region.

His little steamboat ascended the broad Yukon, and the party wintered im the interior. One man, since dead, Charles Farciot, remained behind when the

steamer returned to prospect further.

When he desired to return, he built one of the most remarkable little steam en- It was made from a few pieces of pipe and

some old cans picked up about the de- serted Schieffelin camp, and his only

tools were a file and a pocket knife, with a stone for a hammer. He put this rude little engine in the stern of a small rowboat left behind for his use and steamed 2,000 miles without an acci- dent. The outfit was afterward on exbi- bition in San Francisco and excited the astonishment and indeed the profound admiration of the best machinists, who agreed in saying that Farciot’s mechan- ical genius was of a very high order.— New York Post.
