Alter thirty-seven years ol mystery the strauire disappearance ot Abner Lee, the notorious old prospector who discovered the famous Lee silver mine. see. ?ui,r 1111 ifn iiuriiieasi 01 Mn Ilcrnardino, Ca!., has at la^t been solved. Loe was the most famous prospector of his time. I:i 18t?5 lie located those claims known as the Lee mines, which subsequently brought a fortune ot $'2,000,000 to Governor K. W. Waterman, ot California. Soon % after discovering these lich silver properties he disappeared into the desert and was never seen l again. A great deal of excite merit was occasioned bv Lee's withdrawal from the world and it wn* siiiriwiutiiit , i?. 1,.? v. .uwio KiiiM WIUO that he had been foully done away with hv unscrupulous persona who wished to train posses-1 fcion of his properly. Others j thought the Piute Indians, who then raided the desert, had killed) hiui and burned the remains. Now the riddle has been solved and the skeleton of old A biter Lee, the bones of his burros, his *'waeh pan" and an old mining pack bearing his name on the handle have been lound in the Devil's Playground by "Jim" Moran, a desert freighter, plying --between Penner. on the Saute Ke Road and Resting Spring branch, at the head of Death Valley. The shifting sands jfrwhich covered Lee have given back their dead, the minors are cleared ol obloquy and the bones of the prospector have been given decent burial on the crystalline shores of Soda Lake. According to Leo's story at the time (and this was subsequently verified) there wore vast ledges of surface ore in Right of precise ly tno same quality as the ore which from time to time liebrought. in on liis burros. TTe was very pecretive about t lie lo cation of his mine and thoso whom he took into his confidence were under strict pledge to reveal nothing. Among these wnB R. W. Waterman, who afterward became Governor of California. Mr. Waterman was at that time a 4 struggling lawyer. For ten years aftor Lee's disappearance nothing was heard of the properties. f Then a big expedition was or M I ^ I FoshionabielVJodels, Perfect Fit, Newest Colors, All Lengths, iS Superb Finish. ico tor ji! pocACtbookt, a stylo for every iiguro. ; \yo!
