e owner of the old Cas- tilian Turquoise mine near Bonanza City, re- cently got $1,000 for one nugget of turquoise. Frank Jones, Mike Downes and Wm. Co- nant contemplate a four week’s hunt in the Mogollons. They will start out after the Fourth. ( 49 ) Remarkable Disappearance Sheriff Lockhart, who came up from Dem- ing Wednesday night, informs the Enterprise of the sudden and mysterious disappearance of Mr. Mingle, a young gentleman from Chicago who has been here for some weeks visiting Frank Whitehill. Mr. Mingle and Mr. White- hill took breakfast together at the depot hotel Tuesday morning, and complained of not sleep- ing well and still feeling badly. He had been waiting for money from home to take him to California. The money came that evening in care of Mr. Whitehill, who could not find his friend. Foul play was at first feared, and a thorough search was made of the town, but no trace of him could be found. No one had seen him since breakfast. Men were sent out in all directions Wednesday, and it is thought that a clue had been discovered late at night as a track had been discovered which had been made by a sharp toed shoe, near the railroad and about six miles from town. Near where the track was found it appeared as though some one had lain under a mesquite bush, rest- ing on the elbow. Yesterday nearly every man in Deming who could get a horse or a rig was out searching for the unfortunate young man.
