'MILLIONAIRES OF TOMORROW." Discoverers of the Wealth at Fools' Canyon, .c The fame of the placer diggings on the Hassayampa is spreading through out the world. The New York papers are publishing numerous and exagger ated accounts of the discovery and every local correspondent in Phcenix of eastern newspapers is importuned by wire to send in the lasteBt from the new gold fields. The Republican by the way bad the honor of furnishing the first printed information concern ing the find at Fools' Canyon. The discovery is important but how impor tant or how wide in extent is yet to be determined. The Mexicans have with drawn the shotgun guard from around the original find and visitors and pros pectors are admitted to that part of the diggings. It is estimated that within the two weeks which have passed since the loca tion they have taken out about $7,000 in gold. That, of course, no one sup poses indicates what else may be found in the immediate vicinity or in pos sible pockets and ledges directly be neath the place where all this gold has been found. Old prospectors believe that what has been taken out is the merest drop in the bucket in com parison with what will yet be yielded. The manner in which the discovery was made recalls an incident in Col. Tom Fitch's "Millionaire of Tomor row." Armies of prospectors for thirty years have tramped up and down and over that region without dreaming of the marvelous treasure house beneath. A summer flood swept down add washed away the accumulations of ages disclosing wealth which set the discoverers crazy and impelled tbem to murder if necessary to preserve their secret. These Mexicans may be "the mil lionaires of tomorrow," of whom Col. Fitch so skilfully and pleasantly dreamed. A Peaceable People.
