Yuma--John W. Baker, an old prospector from Clifton, 
just came in and brings the news that Conrad Davis, a 
well known miner from the same place, had perished on 
the desert near Mule Springs, California on the old 
stage road thirty miles west of Ehrenburg.  They 
started May 26 to prospect and separated on reaching a 
spot showing minerals.  At night Davis did not return.  
Baker searched for him five days tracing him to the 
sand hills where a sand storm had covered his tracks.  
They left here May 23.  Both are well known miners on 
the coast.
