Sundown, his burros and his four- wheel wagon — it looks like the vehi cle that brought Americans west a century ago and, dangled with the pots, pans, radios and the other fall outs of civilization that he trades, it looks like a moving storage closet — roam the deserts and plains from Montana to Arizona. “I’m not a dropout,” he said. “I’m DOMESTIC SERVICES FOUND Full or part time team cleaning homes.

I just don’t think about it very much.” Congress thinks a bit about Sun down, however. He comes through Congress about only once every three years. But he is a tourist and Congress savors tourists almost as much as it does the gold found occa sionally up in Weaver Creek. The Rand McNally Atlas edi tors occasionally have marked down Congress, 45 miles northwest of Phoenix, as a “Ghost Town. And Congress resents it. Ella Wilson, who runs the Totem Trading Post, said, “We are not a ghost town. I am no ghost.” Congress hasn’t really got a grip on itself. Several generations ago the town buildings centered around the TOM GOWAN GAY LINE 693-1630 Information & Referral Mon-Thurs 8-10 p.m. Weaver Creek gold diggings. That dried up. So the next buildings be gan rising on the road leading north into the hills and Prescott. But Wil son’s trading post is about the only habited building there now. Currently, the activity is a half- mile up another road, where the post office, the grocery and the cafe play where the deer and the antelope rarely set foot. “Things ain’t been too lively since we had that drop in the price of gold around the turn of the century, ” said Chester Tucker, 75, a retired forest ranger living in a de sert without trees. "Really, the trouble is that every body who lived about the creek dig gings have about died out. Oh, I’ve found me some gold, all right. But the friends of yesterday are gone, ” the old ranger said. “Trouble is it gets up to about 118 degrees and stays there an uncom fortable time. It was the heat that died old Ned Perrot. And Vivian Hale. And Ed Wiseman. And Fred Frederick.son. And even Mr. Upton.” Out under the midday sun, Sun down, his beans eaten, was moving from burro to burro, talking to them, telling them jokes.
