Bullfrog Miner, July 21, 1906
“PROSPECTORS
PERISH”
“Benj.
Epstein arrived from Emigrant Springs Tuesday, and reports that
prospectors named Clark and Johnson from Tonopah, got lost in the
Panamint hills and perished last week. They left a team tied at
Emigrant Springs and did not return from a trip. A searching party
failed to find them. They disappeared July 6, and have probably
perished from thirst.”

Miner, July 28, 1906
“LOCAL.”
“Benj.
Eppstein returned from Emigrant Springs Thursday. He says the two
prospectors, Clark and Johnson, have not been found.”
Inyo Independence, August 3, 1906
"Two
prospectors have perished on the desert in the vicinity of the
Panamint valley. Their names are Clarke and Johnson, but their place
of residence is unknown. The two men were last seen at Emigrant
Springs where they left their camp and team to make a prospecting
trip out into the burning hills of the Panamint range. They were last
seen July 6 and have undoubtedly become lost and perished from heat
and thirst."

Bullfrog Miner, August 4, 1906
“NO
MURDER.”
“Little
or no credence is given here to the belief that Clark and Johnson,
the unfortunate prospectors who are supposed to have perished in
Death Valley, died of foul play. There are cases where discoverers of
rich ledges have been followed when returning to their mines and
murdered, but those days are over. If the unlucky men are dead, and
there is but little doubt that they are, they perished as dozens
before them – from the demon of thirst. Death valley is not a
suitable place for the highwayman and robber.”
