b SRt W BURIED FORTY FEET DEEP. Shut Out From the Outside World for Five Weeks. EXPERIENCE IN AN AVALANCHE. How it Feels to Live in a Cabin Under aSnow Bank—Rescued by a Thaw —A Strange Adventure in the Mountains. New York Sun: I was coming out of the mountains to the north of Vir- ginin City with a lot of miners’ mail strapped on my buck. There was no regular mail there then, but about once a month some one took the letters down and returned with any mail found at the postoffice. 1 was on snowshocs. The winter had been severe,and the snow was five or six feet deepon the level. The 27th of January had been a very balmy day, with a warm sun and wind, antl on the morning of the 25th I started. 1 had to make my why along the base of arange known to us then as Bill's Thumb. and for this twelve miles theve was only one scttler. He wasan old bachelor, who had built himself a snug, stout cabin under the eaves of the Thumb. Ife was o hunter, miner, pros- poctor, taxidermist, naturalist, and I don’t know what else. ¥ When I had approached within pistol- shot of the hermit’s in, I saw the man himself about a mile down the val- ley. He was coming toward the house, but had a burden on his,should was moving slowly. Therefore, reached the cabin, I stood atthe door to wait for him, thinking he might wish me to take a letter or do some er- rand. He was still half a mile away when I heard a dull, heavy fall away up the mountains above my head. Iknew it was o mass of snow tumbling off the rocks, and that it was the sced of an avalanche. The sound hu scarcel reached my ears when I wheeled to th door, lifted the latch, and the next in- stant was inside. a8 none too soon. Almost every pound of snowon the mountain side 1000 feet high and o quar- ter of a mile long was in motion for the base. It came with a terrible roar,and a succession of crashes asrocks and trees were torn up, and I held my breath for what was to happen. The house trembled and rocked, a thousand empty wagons seemed to rush over the roof and then all was midnight dark- ness, and the stillness of the grave set- tled down upon me. The house had been buried under an avalanche, It was God’s mercy that it had not been swept awayv and torn log from log. There wafonly asmall fire on the hearth, and before [moved I struck o mateh to see my way. Aster looking about a bit I found a candl and then I began, to investigate the sit- nation. On opening the door I found the snow packed solidly in front. Going to the single window I found every ray of ight shut out. In the room wasa bundle of rodsabout as large asmy fingor and nine feet long. There were vix of them. T secized one and thrust it upward from the door, but it did not go through the drift. Ilashed another to it, and yet the length not sufficient. T lashed on a second, and now had at least twenty-five clear feot of pole to probs with, and I believed the upper end found daylight. In front of the cabin, and about two hundred feet away, was a great mass of rock rods long by about 50 feet high. This would stop the ava- », and it was more than likely solid mass of snow 40 rods long and 24 feet deep lay abave me. What had become of the hermit? There was not one chance in a thousand that he had escaped. The avalanche would block the trail for weeks, and at the very best it would be some days be- fore any one at our camp_would know that I was in the hut, If the hermit es- caped he would carry the news. If he was buried under the snow, I might as well make up mind to remain a pris oner until spring. T was in a bad box, and for the first half hour T quite lost my courng Then, having every rea- son to believe that T must be a prisoner for may long days, I began to take an inventory of stock, as it were: There was # good bed of skins and blankets, several cooking utensils, a table and sevaral rough stools, a clock, a dozen or more books, about t] fi candles, with ten, coffee, sugar, pork and flour in quntities sglast me several weeks, I could not have been better provided for had I planued for the avalanche to come. There was a lean to at the back end of the hut, and I looked into this to find it full of fuel. 1 felt much more hopeful after 1 had taken the inven- tory, for I could not help but feel that it would not be long before I saw day- light again. For severa] days after the accident the cabin sent forth suspicious sounds. The snow was settling and pucking above it and rafters and logssnapped and cracked in o way to keep me on thorns, If the weight on the roof proved too greatl should be crushed or smothered the mo- ment it fell in. It was after 8 o'clock in the afternoon hefore I feltsafe. But very little snow had come down the chimney. I reasoned from this that it had been covered by rocks or limbs, If such was the case and the fire refused to burn I should be hard pressed with plenty of raw provisions at hand. 1 felt all the gravity of the situation as I threw, on some light wood and made a blaze, It was a hard fight for half an hour. Some of the smoke certainly found a .way to escape, but some was driven back. How- ever, after a time the heat brought down a great deal of water—so much that I could scarcely keep a flame going —uand about 4o'clock the cabin was clear of smoke, While I could not for an instant believe that the mouth of the chimney showed above the snow I was satisfied that some way had been opened for the smoke to drive away. I may ex- plain here that a great mass of treetops lodged on the rvof before the bulk of that snow came,and these held the SnoOw up so that the smoke went sailing wbout in a hundred chanuels. I got myself some supper, wound u: Hthe clock, and sat down for a smoke an *a think. 'The hermit had two pipes and o large stock of tobacco, and, lonely as was my situation, a feeling of gratitude to God for the comforts ut hand was uppermost in my mind. T was now sat- isfied that T was buried deep under the snow, and that my rescue would be a watter of weeks. The first move was to write out a statement of the accident, and this I placed where it would be preserved and found in case of my eath, Then I began a daily journal, and mapped out a programme to be fol* lowed. A week's imprisonment would be nothing, but after that it would not do to let the mind dwell on the situa- tion. You see, the horror of it was the stillness. The iden kept coming up that I was buried alive, und it was an awful thing to think of. The hermit’s clock was an cld-fashioned one, with a loud tick-tack, #nd after the cabin got through settling under the weight of the #now, every tick sounded almost as loud as lhs hluw of & hammer. It was 80 warm that 1 needed only the smallest fire, and when I went to bed at 9 o'clock there was no need even of a single blanket for cover. T was up at an enrly hour next morn- ing. having slept like o log all night, and while eating breakfast was startled by sounds which I believed to be the voice of & human being. T thought T could hear groans and moans and cries for help. and when T opened the door the sounds came to me more distinetly. It might be that the hermit, caught under the snow, had succeeded in tun- nelling his way to a point from which 1 could rescue him by digging., and I had no sooner desputched my breakfust than L set about making me a shovel to dig with. I found a hatchet, and v\llh this sharpened a board, and the snow 1 du@® away from the doorway I heaped up in the fuel room. 1 hadn't been digging over half an hour when I made th covery that the first rush of the lanche had brought down a great lot nl' small t bushes and rocks, with here and theve a large tree. They had been pulled up helter-skelter, but " they held up the mass of snow so that with a little dragging 1 could run a tunnel in almost any direction. Great c WS neces- however, as the burden above was heavy, and the digplacement of a support might bring down a great weight of snow. After T had run the tunnel straight out from the door about twenty feet. I turned to the right, made my way under a lot of rubbish, and after going about thirty feet came upon the hody of an Indian. Here the limbs and sticks made a sort of bower, under which he lay, and I knew that it was his voice I had heard calling. There were no In- aians about us except hostiles, and just before the snow came they had killed two men belonging to our camp. We had no fear of them after winter set in, knowing that they stuck close to their villages. Here was a in. however, and in full war paint; but I had no sooner found him than Isaw that he was dead, though his body was still warm. He had been mauled in a ter ble manner, both legs being broken, his head all bloody from an injury, and his right arm doubled up under him as if broken. T could see the butt of his vifle sticking out of the snow, but when I pulled at it I found the barrel missing. t had been wrenched off. I got his tomahawk and knife. however, together with powder-horn and bullet-pouch, and when I had pulled the body along and cvept beyond it, I caught sight of a moc- It hmk me casin in the snow and dirt. an hour to unearth the bod that of a second warrior. been crushed out of him in a second. The mass of rock which had come down with him had broken every bone in his body, and a great share of his face had been ground off. His rifle 1 could not find, while both knife and tomahawk we re broke While search- cold and batte body I founda skskin bag containing about $300 worth of small nuggets of gold, and this gave me a hint to overhaul the other. T also got from him a bag containing about $200 worth of dust and nuggets, and_in thg scarch I found attuched to his belt a white man’s sealp, w hich had not been off the victim's head over two days. 'They must have been in ambush part way up the mountain, intent upon taking the hermit’s scalp. and but for the avalunche they might have had mine as well. The day had gone by the time I had overhauled the second Indian’s bhody. Being at work, the hours had passed swiftly away, and T had not given myself me to brood over the horrors of situation. After supper I in front of the fire for awhile. then wrote upmy daily journal, and when I went to bed I left the door wide open. It seemed to me that the air was getting foul down there, and by opening, the door the room was greatly purified. It was midnight, as | afterwards came to know, and the fire was all out, when some noise in the room startled me. 1 sat up in bed, and was soon convinced that some one or somo living thing be- side myself was present. 1 could hear a labored breathing, together with sounds as of some one puliing himself along the floor, and G G foot of the bed and lighted the candle. ‘What was my amazement to find a third savage in the cabin! He had quite reached the side of the bed, and had I got out that way, as usual, he would have at least wounded me. for he had his naked knife in _his hand, and bent on murder. The hatchet wu hand, but I did not need a pon. The warrior had been dreadfully hurt, and, as investigation proved, had been buried just beyond the other two. When I left the bodies he had dug his way to my tunnel, and then pulled him- self along to the door, intending to have my life us I slept. When baffed in this he glared at me with all the hate a b man heart can betray. He was ¢ at the hips,and none but a suvage could have accomplished what he did. T could have killed him at a single blow, but the horrible work was spared me. Death was already beside him, and as I stood and looked down upon h candle in hand, he uttered a faint warwhoop, and fell over dead. When I was sure that life had departed I dragged him into the tuunel and shut and barred the door, and so upset had my nerves be- come by the adventnre that I did not sleep again that night. In the morning [ excavated a hole near where the two bodies lay, and pushed the three into itand packed snow over them, Then I began running a tunnel for the ledge in frout of the cabin, and had gone about twenty feet when the second night came. Farly in the third day I had to abandon this tun- nel on account of a cave-in which nearly smothered me. Then I turned to the right to come out down the valley, and I was still at this work when the first week closed. Barly in the second week I was stopped by a bank of rocks and earth, and when the second week closed I was drifting o tunnel to the left. It was slower work than you would think for. The snow was packed very solid and all I dug out had to be thrown be- hind me, and eventually carried off and scattered in some hole under the tree topse Every few feet I met with a big rock or the trunk of a tree, and it was hard work to get around such obstruc- tions. Again a cave-in would take place to hinder farther prog: for u day or two, and I finally came to the conclusion that I never could get out by tunnelling. 1 started in on the third week more to be at work than from any hope of escape. All that week I tunnelled to the right again, and at 8 o'clock on Siaturday afternoon I broke into my own tunnel. In other words, I had done as a man does when lost in the woods. I made half circle and came back on myselfl, while all the time I felt sure 1 was going straight ahead. The fourth week was spent mostly in the house. was now becoming much weaker, and was ready to give up. It was on the thirty-fifth night that the cabin began firmmhlg and creaking again, and I new that the snow was settling down around it. The noises continued all m‘,'h'. giving me many a fright, and at 7 0'clock next morning, when I opened the door, I found my tunnel filled up. I was lamenting this when I noticed that the fire was drawing better than usual, Going oyer to the fireplace I took a look up the chimney, and saw the dark sky of heaven. At the same moment three or four drops of rain fell upon my THE OMAHA DAILY BEE MONDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1888. face, and then T understood that a great thaw had set in, and was reducing the snow around me. It was three days more, however, before 1 got daylight through the window and could force my way out of the door. It had been raining for three days and nights, and the creek below was 1 yet very deep, and 1 was compelled to wait two duw more before I could get away, Then the weather changed: to colder, and T got down to Virgidia City. It was nearly a month later before we could get at the bodies 1 knew were un- der the snow. The hermit had been THE FOREICY *MILLIONAIRE, Sketches of the Le@dlng Rich Men of Othér Lands.

The income of the owner of this stable is about $5,000 a day. The biggest income of any single man in England is said to be thatof the Duke of Westminster, who has miles of tene- ment houses and muny square miles of agricultural land. He is said to receive $50 & minute the year round, or $3,000an hour, or $72,000 a day.

The dukes of Devonshire and Norfolk and the marquis of Bute havee remts amounting to $2,000,000 per year, and the duke of Portland, after extravagan- cies like those of Monte Christo, accumu- lated $10,000,000 of unentailed property during his life.

The ven- ture proved wonderfully suc and Paxton added to his already riches. In a year he disbanded his company,and, joining Charles Mathews, started on a tour of India in the wake of the prince of Wales. ‘When Paxton left I‘ng’hmd for India he was engaged to be marrvied to the daugh of a family as ent and wunlth\ rs his own, a girl hin all nature's gifts except constancy.

Constitution {)\I“t!fl him through, but life held but ittle for him, and he strove, in leading a lite of reckless dissipation, to drown his cares. Fora year his days knew nothing but a wild succession of reck- less acts and an extravagant expendi- ture of money in the vain search for ve- lief from the tormenting thought of the perfidy of the girl he had trusted, till ho one day awoke to tind himself on the verge of bankruptey, his fine fortune all squandered. This was four years ago, and having expended all his means, Paxton's thoughts naturally reverted to his old stage life as a means of existence. About that time our friend met John McCulloch and George Knight, who in- duced him to come to America. He joined Knight's company and played in Baron “'Rudolph” for a season after- ward, joining the Union Square com- puny of New York and later still drift- ing'into comic opera. With Stetson's original company Paxton played, in “PrincessIda,” and then went to Me- Vicker's stock company in Chicago. Mr. Paxton’s first trip was with the Casino opera company, in the plays of which he was cast for all the tenor parts.

He said there through the summer eking out an existence by such o0dd jobs as turned up, and having, as he says himself, “a very tough ti me.” From Kansas City Mr, Paxton tound his way back here, and is now presiding over the piano at the dime museum, young, strong and full of hope. Mvr. Paxton has good reason for hope that his trials are nearly ended. A few weeks ago his sister died, and he has fallen heir to her money, which is in it- self a fortune of $60,000, and which will come to him id duecourse, He will not give up the stage, however, but intends starting out\in two weeks, with a lot of other comediuns, to play through the west & musicul comedy. lungs, and oe once paid his attentions to the shrine of the Virgin on Monte Ver- gine. He is much loved in Naples and the city 18 full of stories about him, He still keeps up his charities and, like a number of our millionaires has men in- vestigate such cases of destitution as are brought to him before giving. Speaking of rich Jews, we all read not long ago of the death of Sir Moses Mon- tefiore. He left nearly 2,000,000, and a great part of this went to charities, among which were 875,000 to charitable institutions in Jerusalem and the Holy Land.

He has steamers and railroads of hisown, aod his works comprise among other things a chemical labratory, a printing ress and forty miles of telegraph wire. By the census of 1887 he pays the high- est income tax in Prussin_ and his tax amounts to more that 37,000 a year. This represents an income of more than $1,000,000 yearly and among the other big taxpayers in Prussia is the Baron Bliechroder.

This millionaire’s name was Nicoli Ivanovitch Putiloff. and he was the most enterprising manufacturer and capitalist Russia has had since the days of Petor the Great.

He had at oue time the tobacco monopoly in Italy, and he was a banker of wide influence. He gave balls at which the visitors were expected to tip the servants, and Torlonio’s en mies used to say that these tips were turned into the rich banker's treasury. However this may be, it is said that the prince was one of the most charitable of th 'h men of Italy, and that he is still greatly mourned in Rome.

New York World: A remarkable story of a husband and wife being re- united after an absence of thirty-five years comes from Brooklyn. Mr. and Irs. William Martin were married in England in 1853. After the honeymoon the young husband told his wife he thought he could do better in this coun- try, ana he bade her accompany him. At the time Mrs. Martin was nursing an invalid uncle, and she told her young husband it was her duty to remain_by his side until he died. Mr. Martin kissed his wife and, bidding her farewell, took the steamer to America. A vear or a year and a half later the uncle d In the mean time a baby boy had arrived, and as soon as her uncle breathed his last the wife, with her boy, crossed the ocean in search of her husband, He had not written to her, but she believed she wouid succeed in finding him. When she reached these shores she found no trace of him. Months volled into years, and Mrs, Mar- tin wore widow’s weeds. She heard that her husband had died in a hospital at St. Louis, Fifteen years ago Mrs. Martin again got news of her husband to the effect that he was alive. Not long after the receipt of this intelli- gence she met him for a prief period, and he again started off on his travels around the world, Mr. Martin never wrote to his disconsolate wife, and she concludkd he was certainly dead. Her son, who has long since grown to man- homl and who has a family of his own, was told that his father had died many years ngo. Mrs. Martin has resided for somd time at No. 249 Driggs street. She occupied apartments on the third floor of the building. Three weeks ago a tall, handsome, elderly gentleman entered her apartments, and she immediately recognized him as her long-lost hus- band. There was an affectionate greet- ing on both sides, but the husband did mwot remain with his wife. He lived with his son for a week, and then left as he said, to go to England, where he is to look after his share of an estate, He promised his wife and son that as soon as he settled up his finances he would return. Mrs. Martin was reticent when found bfi a World reporter last evening. All e would say was: “I have only met my husband twice in thirty-five years, once many years ago, and in Brooklyn a few weeks ago. T'love him as dearly as ever, but 1 do not want to say n.nything about him. I don’t want to say where he was or what hn;apened in these lon years. I have esire to publish the facts to the world. It ismyown affair. God has cared for mé and he will continue to. 1f my husband comes back, all rwm, it he remains away—well, all right.” 2 Alrlculmml Implements.
