that there was no or in the district

speed through every camp In th Bait
River Valley and over to Prescott. In
less than two weeks all that part of
Arlsona waa deeply stirred by th re
ports, which no one seemed to have
time to Investigate, of the richnes of
the mines that Stevens had found.
A thousand or more miners caught
the fever so badly tnat they started
on foot across the country for Steven's
camp without delay. It waa a hot, dry
summer, and the Journey entailed sev
eral weeks of severe physical labor, tor
turing thirsts, and the endurance, of a
temperature that usually stood over
100 degrees In the shade. Having ar
rived at the Stevens camp they realised
that there were clalma worth working
by about a hundred men. Several hun
dred claims were staked out In less
than a day after the excited miners
got to the scene, but in a fortnight the
camp population fell from 1,200 to less
than 400. In a month more about 100
persons were left to do all the mining.
The camp waa abandoned entirely ten
yeaM ago.
The Hath for Tombstone.
With the possible exxceptlon of the
rush to the Leadvllle mining district In
Colorado, tb?re has been none any
where In fon:y years attended with the
oxvltemjnt that followed tlhs news of
th? finding of great depjosits of gold and
silver In To'ntuon? tn 1S79. Miners
from every pa:6 of the Pacific coast
caught the fever for geld, and as wek
after week samples of the Tombstone
rock were more wli?ly circulated, and
rumors went forth concerning the for
tune thi.9 or thnt man or company was
getting out of th? hills and mountains
about v'.i new ramp, thousands started
for Tombstone. Hundreds of young men
and youths In th: ;ld?r E-tiUa were wild
w j i'i teal to hasten to the new Eldorado
and started across the contlnct with
little or no preparation. In less than
four moii-itos aft..r Gird and the Haw
kins boys began gating several thou
sand d.'.law a day from their mines
there were over fi.ooo persons In the
camp, and several months later Tomb
ston? had a population of over 10,000
men and ZOO women.
There never was another camp In tha
southwert like 'that at Tombstone In
1879 and 1SS0. Indeed there have been
very few similar communities in the
world. F.-.r over seven months the dally
output of precious metal averaged about
130,000. Over a dozen men went there
nearly pennylesss and came away worth
over half a millicn dollars in less than
a year, and rlx or f?ven men struck it
rich snd sold out for over a million dol
lars a?h. Fully hulf the population
wt.lked hundreds of mll?s to get there.
No raMrosd tan through southern At I
sona In tihssj days and the awful Colo
rado and Mojave deeerts had to be
crossed In wagcrf or on foct by tlu
muj!ltu?s of for'tuns-wkers from Cal
ifornia. Desff t sand eterm were en
countered, and for days travelers to
Tombstans endure! a temperature ot
over 130 degree In the shade. Many a
man died on the hot, sandy pb.lns.
iMim?TS on shir way to the new camp
from the txzt and rou'.h tolled acioss
the Arizona alkali plains, through Im
mense cantus areas, and risked thslr
lives In the then hestile lands of the
Apache Indians.
But ha:d3hip, pain, suffering and risk
of life were all secondary to an early
arrival In Tombstone and the location
of a mining claim. When Tombstone
was reached there were nw privations
and more physical diistresis for the
greater number, especially for those
who had hastened from offices, stores,
shops, clerkships and even the pantor's
study. Over one-third of the men In
camp had very little money, or none
at all, and knew no way of earning It
except by the hardest kind of manual
labor, to which they were unused.
Where the Mines Gave Out. '
It cost II a night to sleep in a dirty,
rough n pie bunk. Water sold at 20
cents a gallon, small' dl?h of beans at
SO cents, tallow candles at two b!ts
(25 cents), common overalls at 15 each,
smoked bams a t 112 each, and cow-hide
boots were disposed of as fast as they
could be hauled to camp across the
desert from Los Angeles and Yuma for
$35 a pair. It w a ground-hog case
with thess commodities for the first
ten mcnths of TombStons take them
at the prices eaked or go without. In
1881 all the Tombstone mines that paid
we'll were in the .hands of a few per
sons, end the population of the place
had gone down iro 5,000. In 1883 the
mines, with two exceptions, began to
peter out, and the population dropped
to 8,000. Since- then It has gone down
lowly to less than 1,000 souls.

ANECDOTE OF LESSING.
Absent-mindedness has been frequently
a characteristic of men of fame. It Is to
be supposed) no doubt, that their mind
hav.T bn so wholly absorbsd by great
matters that the smaller, more trivial
things of life hive been- considered un
worthy of their attention. Among men of
th stamp who have suffered In this way
was Leasing, a famous German' writer of
plays and books of criticism. Leasing
discovered at one period of his life that h
was being robbed of his ready tnoiwy by
some person In his homs, and, unabls to
determine who ths culprit wss, hs put ths
servants of his -household to a tret" by
leaving a handful of gold upon bis break
fast table one morning.
Meeting a frield hs told him what hs
hsd don.
"That was risky," said his friend. "How
much did you leave there?"
. "Dear met" cried Leasing. . "I quite for
got to count." Harper's Young People.-
