H. H. Whitehill and Mr. Emery, an old time prospector, who have been prospecting near the headwaters of the Gila, have been in pretty hard luck. While several miles from any ranch Mr. Emery, in some manner, broke his right leg below the knee, and for fifteen days Mr. Whitehill took care of the old gentleman as best he could in camp, after which he was loaded onto a burro and after many hours of tedious and painful travel, the Rogers ranch on the Gila river was reached and the wounded limb cared for as well as circumstances would admit. Mr. Emery is almost 60 years of age.
