MINERAL WEALTH OF THE COUNTRY Raitrond Progress and Projects In Various Western States—A Plea Blood ~Summary of North News. tor New wester, Public Interest and attention is divided be 3 tween cvents at Homestead, Pa., aud the i Cour d*Alene region. In both places mili- 3 tary power Las been invoked 1o suppress dis- orders growing out of lavor strikes. Readers arc familiar with the causes of the strife at Home.tead, The cause of the trouble in northcru Idaho was not given with the ac- of bloodshed. The dispatches suid trouble between the miue owners aud the Miuers union; that the former intro duced nonunion meu, and that uaioa men, thus provoked, resorted to desperate meaus 0 rid the country of so-called scab labor. Buck of this meager iuformation are impor- tut 1 octs that servo to explain, if they do Dot mideate the criminality of the, strikers Prev.ous to 1801 the scalo of wages in the Caeur o' Alene was 85,50 per day for under- gound miners und $ for carmer und shovelers rly that yoar n demand was made for £3.50 uli round and it was conceded. The urop in the priceof silver last vear cur- tailed the vrofits of the miuc owners. They formed an_association OF trust,as a measure of seif avfense awaiust ihe exactions of the tailronds and what they terwed the “aggression’ of the Miners ‘union. There Wes00 0pen mutteriog ogainst tho wages aid the men until March of this year. Iu Jecember the mine owners demanded 8 reduction of freight rates, claiming that they could uot work the mines profitavly unless concessions were granted. The rail- ronds refused to reduce rates and the inines controlled by the association were shut down on thefirst of the year, It was given out that the shutdown was indelinite —u revival depending on Ao advance in the vprice of the pro ducts of the mines. 4 Theve wero fully 3,000 miners m the dis- trict ut the time of the shutdown. The bulk of the number left the cauutry, swarming into Butte und other Montana camps, & large contingent forming the vanuuard of the winter rush to Creede, Cripple Creek and otticr new camps in Coloradc. When two thirds of the miuers hud moved away tho minc-owners evidently thought the time was ripo for a reduction of wi Accoraingly, edtly in March they announced that the wills and mives wouid start up on the Ist of April, and that all miners desiving to work for & would be accowmmo- dated. The remuaut of the Miners union decided to resist the reduction, and both sides began preparations for the struggle, which bas unfortunately cviminsted in bloodshed The succeeding measures ndopted by the Mine Owuers association tend to prove that the purposo in forcing a fight was not so much a reduction of wages as to destroy t Miners union, A large number of miners Were imporied mainly from tho copper, iron of Lake and other mining sections Superior. Several tram-loads were brought in, but the persuasion and persuaders of the strikers caused large desertions. Scores were returned home at the expeose of the Miners union. Out of over 1,000 brought in, scarcely 300 now re- main, The Mine Owners association paid the expenso of transportation and also paid them tue rate of wages which was refused the resident miners, vamely §3.50 per day, both for skilied ana uuskilled labor. Gen- erosity did notstop bhere. The mine owners furnistied the imported men toard and rooms Bt a fraction of former cost and ewmploy hundreds of detectives and watchuien guard the workmen and property. 1n about three months the organization of operatives have incurred extra ex- scs far excoeding what the difference be- tween the old and the broposed rate of wages would amount to in two years. Besides, the and oational governments have been put 1o greac cost to sustain und finish a _de- iberately planned war on the Miners union 'he excesses commilted by the strikers are justly chargeable to the provocation of a Fival orzanization—the Mine Owners’ associ- ation. to Nebrask o State Line fair will be held at Chester August 17, 15 and 19 The O'Neill Frontier is thirteen years old and as robust as ever.

BROAD TRAIL OF BLEACHING BONES t In & Desolate Waste of Sand Where Death Lurks—Thrilling Description of the Tortures of Thirst— The Rescue. “Who goes ifito the garden of hell plucks blindness and death.” This sounds like the text from a latter-day sensational sermon, says the Tucson (A. T.) correspondent of the San Francisco Exam iner. The sermon is preached by the bleach- g bones of men who have sought the gold that lies bayond the areadful place. No one remombers who it was Hrst used tho sen- tence, The old Mexican prospectors who knew and hated the place got 1t from thoir fathers. The Jardin del Intiruo lies to the southward of this city and to the west, near its southern boundary, is a low, solitary line of rocky hills, the outline of which against the sky is tuat of a guant's proffe. “There are not many who have looked, and lived to tell it, on the face of the giant who has been scowling back at the blazing sun fronf the beginning, but thoss who have te]l weird stories of what happons thero when the water is all gone from the canteen and your brain is on fire and your tongue cracks and bloeas. At the eastorn end of the low range is a ravine, that makes the Iips of the giant’s face. Whou tho sun is in the west it shows a turn of the canon hid den before, that pends toward the sunset. Then the face seoms to grin—a malignant grimace of those features of rock and sand. ‘Tune dezert stretches from Tucson to Yuma, and to the southward God only knows how far. Itis a gray wasto of sand, und its few ragged mesquite bushes and grotesque cacti is to vegotation only what a picture is to a real laudscapo. They say tnat even snakes and lizards canuot live there. Maybe bo- cause of the awful desolation and hideous dangars of the country the story is believed that somewhcre beyond the desert there is £0ld more thau would make a whole nation rich. Itisa relic of the superstition of tha time when headloss mea and fire-breathing dragons were thought to guard treasures that mon always believe wold is most plenti- ful where thirst and death threatent Two Men Returned. A fow days ngo two men came back to Tue- son out of tha desert. They found no gold and they are gaunt and fever wasted, but they camo back alive and they are thankful for that. J. A. Van Horn and Martin Waer, both of this city, are the men. They knew what they werc undertaking, for they have been on the desert bofore, but with all their precautions and experienco thoir bones would have made another patch of white on the sand but for the iron strength and endur- ance of the younger man, Waer, About the middle of May Van Horn and Waer decided 1o take a trip down to Sonora for the purpose of obtaming & bond on a mne. They nad heard of some rich mines in tho mountains near the line on the American side, and they decided that, after getting a bond on: the mine in Sonora, they would con- tinue their journey to these mountains, tosee for themselves whether or notthe reports circulated were true. They left this city on May 22 at 2 o'clock on Sunday morning, in a light wagon drawn by two good horses. They haa two kegs of water with them—ten gallons for the horses and five for themselves. They carried an abundance of provisions, includinga good supply of canned goods, They went from Tucson to & mining camp known as Quijotoa, and from thero thuy proceeded to Souoita, a small village on the Sonoita river, in Sonora, near the line. They experienced no difi- culty in reaching this point, and after re- maining there over night they made their way to a place called Quita Vocquita, which is situated on the line between Arizona and Sonora. Then they went into the wilderncss 10 look for the gold. They had to cross kI Tula, the approach to the Garden of Hell. They were aware that they had not water enough to make the trip, but thoy haa been ou the desert before and knew a water holo atthe base of EI Tula mountains. They would be a few hours out of water, but that is nothing when gold lies beyond. Took C So they drove over El Tula, past the hun- dreds of rocky mounds—eacn showing whero a gold seeker had lain down to die of thirst and madness—and on to_where the unburied skelotons dot the rond. Wnen men get as far as tnis they bave no time to bury others. But Van Horn and Waer had seen monnds and_skeletons before, and it gave them no anxioty that their water kegs went dry even carlior than they expected, and all day they traveled without water, aod very thirsty they were before thoy reached the rising ground that hid the water hole. At last they were there. They broke through the thick clump of mesquite that marked tho only water for miles. They stood on the edge and looked, Van Horn and Waer side by side, and behind them the quivering, drooping horses, with their hot, inflamed nostrils, At the bottom of the natural tank was 8 patch of caked, cracked yellow earth, The water hole was dry. The men knew of another water hole soven or eight miles further on around the moun- ances on Water. tain. It was sunset, but there was nothing 10d0 but muke the' other tank. So they urged the wretched horses on. For two miles tho wagon ground its way through tho sand. Slowly they went, and more siowly, and at last the horses stopped and would pull no more. They unharnessed the horses and Waer went on leading them, wnile Van Horn waited in the wagon until his compan- ion should come back - with the horses ro- freshed and_water for him. 5o Waor lefy him, and with his canteen and the horse: pussed out of his sight. Van Horn crawled under the wagon to wait in the shade for his return. Night came and Waer did not come; an- other duy and another night and still he did ot return. At the end of two days ho de- cidea that bis companion had perished and tried to save bimself, Both came out alive and both are here. This is the story of his wanderings Waer told your correspondent : On n Wild Hun I looked back as I passed around the point and saw Van Horn crawl under the wagon. ‘That was the last I saw of bim until—but let mo tell you about it as it happened. “*When I got near the tauk I tied the horses toa bush. They were wild for water and I for Molsture, was afraia they would break from me and founder themsclves aod foul the water into mud. I migbt have spared my- self tne trouble. The water holo was dry. Theso water holes aro not living springs, you know, but_merely busins that catch the water thal drains trc o hbill aud hold it. There was not much rain lust winter and the evaporation had sucked from the ground the last drop of moisture, “Tnis was serious. I knew those horses could not go another duy withont water, and without the borses—I would not allow myselt 10 think beyoud that. *I got Lhe horzes and struck off over the desert again. There was a lineof mountains twenty-five miles away, and 1 expected to find water in some of the canons, The horses began to groan after a bit. [ never heard as pitiful & sound before, and I hopo it is the lust time I ever hear it. *“I'nen oue of the bhorses held back. I tried 1o leud bim, but he dropped to bis kuees and theu lay overon his side. 1 was terrified, but [ worked and got bim up. A hundrea yards further on tho other borse lay down. So it wout. Then night came, but I did rot dare to stop. There was uo question of grit at all, only I knew that it was either push on or lie down and die. I reached the mountains before daybreak, but could find no water, When the sun came up I could not travel, for the heat made me so dizzy that I could not walk. I lay under a bush all day. “God, bow I waated water; just & spoon ful, a drop. Several times during the day 1 tried to travel, but I could not, for the desert and the sky whirled before me, and down 1'd m go. About sundown blood beégan to come from the nostrils of one of the horses, aud be soon aled. Then the other one went the same way, and I was alone in the desert. Saved by the Gila, “Fortunately, the lay of tue land was DAILY BEEMONDAY 1 knew tho Gila river was uot more than forty miles from me and as 1 bad travelled nearly that far from Van Hora, I determined te-maka tho river. If I went back to him without wator 1_knew it wouid be all up with both of us. He might live until [ gov help. (So away 1 went: my hond was fight and thivgs swam before me, but 1 made good progress. 1 removed every stitch of my clothing, with the exception of my shocs, and started out. 1did_not stop one momont, but Kept right on. Idid not think of getting tited. I was crazs for water. It was 2 o'dloek whon I reached the river. I drank and thanked God. It was the swoetest water thay ever touched my lips. though T felt famliar to me. “After drinking all 1 dared, as it I could drink the river ary, I put on my clothes, filled my canteen, and started for a ranch house a little way up the river. It be- longed to Mexican. I asked him for the use of horses and a wagou to go for Van Horn, He tol1 mo that his horses were not fit for the trip, that they would die before they had gone half way, but that thero was a ranch about eight miles further on, and the man there might assist me. “'I ran as fast as I could, for I knew that every moment counted. The fellow would not do anything, but potuted ont another ranch house about threo miles up the road, and told me that ho thought the Moxican living thers would help me. Isaw that this man, after hearing abovt Van Horn, was sure that he was dead, but did not like to tell me so. Searching for Van Horn. “When they heard my story at this last place, however, they at oncé hitched two mulos to & wakon and also saddled two horses. Two of us rode tho animals whilo one drove the mules attacticd to the wagon. It was the fifth day after I loft Van Horn. Wo started in the morning and reached the wagon at 1 o'clock. Ob, the luxury of that vide! It was hot and dusty, and my torse's #ait was not the easiest in the world, but the awful thirst was not there and I was uot alone, As wo rodo over a patch I nad traversed afoot the aay bofore it ssemed impossivle that I had beon so long and suffered so much. “Van Horn was not there. Ontho wagon seat were two notes written by Van Horn, One was addressed to me, stating that he had como to tho conclusion that 1 hud per- ished and that he had decided to try to reach the last place whero we had got water. Tho other one directod what should be done with the wagon. One of the Mexicans stayod with the wagon, With the other I took up Van Horn's trial. For twelve miles wo fol- towed it without finding any trace but his footprints in the sand, Iv was awfal. Un- less Van Horn haa reached wuter he had been without anything to drink for fivo days. I dreaded to look ahead, lest I should see hun dead tbere. At last we found his blan- Ket. Fiftoen wmiles further on night ovor- took us, We did not daro go on. for fear of losiug the trail. The moon arose in a coupls of hours and we pushed on. We not speak mucn s we wentalong. did My mind was full of my unfortunate partier, und the Mexicans respected my silence, “Wo were ploading along at 2 o'clock in the morning when I heard a noise. It sounded like the report of a rifle away off. Ifired two shots from my revolver, and an answering shot came back, and I heard u bullet whistle over our heads. Alive but Iy Tired Out. “We found Van Horn lying in an arroyo alive, but thoroughly tired out, under a mes- quito bush. When I reached him he whis- vered, ‘Oh, God, I did not expect to_sco you alive; I thought you wero dead.’ Ho asked for water. I gave hun alittio at a time. 1 built a fire and mage him some coffee. He drank no less than six_cupfuls and a galion and a half of water. He then begau to feel better, *‘He could not have lasted over six hours longer. His foet and hauds were full of ca tus thorns, and were cold, while Lis head was burning hot. ‘‘We made him as comfortable as circum- stapces would permit and then took him back to the Gila river, and later to Tucson." Van Horn was not the first who sought the shelter of the mesquite brush that shaded the arroyo. Near where ho was found was a broken-down wagon with the skeletons of four borses. In the shade of the brush were four human skeletons, Van Horn's story was their story—only no rescuer camo to them iun time. It was disys beforo Van Horn could teli the story of those days he waited for Waer. Today for the first time he nar- rated his experiences. He was eight days without water. Eight Days Without Water. “I waited anxiously for Waer's return the first day,” said Van Horn. “At last mght came and 1 was thoroughly alarmed. When daylight broxe and he bad not returned I made up my mind that ho had peristed, but I decided to wait alittlo whiloloager for him. Ihad no water, but fortunately there was plenty of canned fruit in the wagon and I used that. At the end of two days I camo to the conclusion that Waer was dead, and de- cided to return to the last watering placo we bad teft, I wrote two notes and left them on tho seat of the wawon and then started out. I carried too many things elong ana could uot travel fast. “The first day I made twolve miles. I traveled at night, for the sun made me dizzy. The next night I 'was boginniag to get weak, and when i started I lef my blanket under @ busb in order to lighten my burden. *“I'hat night was a terriblo one. My sup- ply of canned fruit gave out, and toward morning I crawled no loss than four miles on my hands and knees. dragging my things along with me. [ was searching for a ‘nig ger head,' the leal of the cactus plant, About daybroak I found one. Ishot several holos through it, and with the barrel of my rifle broke the léaf off. I cut pieces off with my knife and chowed them. I got my hands full of thorns, but 1 did not mina that. There was moisture in the fleshy leaf, and 1t seemed to allay my thi Juring the day I remained near the ni cer head. Toward evening I dragged m self upright with the belp of the mesquite bust and looked all_around, hoping to seo something living, My gaze was arrested by a line of low bills on tho southorn horizon. Grinned at by the Giant, I was startled by their resemolance to a man’s tuce. It seemed to be turned directly toward the sun. I was weak and dizzy, and I alnost fainted when [ saw the features change before my eyes. The corner of the mouth seomed to turn up and tho eyos wrinkled. 1knew I was going mad. Mad- ness comes before death on tho desort, you know. I stared at the hills. The great face was distorted with a hideous grin, I thought a malignant giant was laughing at my suf- ferings. L knew I was crazy and I held on to the mesquite bush lest I should run out on the dessrt shricking and dash my brains out againsta rock. The horror of it all drove the dizzivess from my brain. Then in an instant I saw that the grin was simply a ra- vine in the hills, which the sun made bromi- nent, and the wrinkles about the eyes were caused by the same combination of [ight. *IL was a relief to kuow I was sane, “Along about 2 o'clock in the morning I heard a peculiar noise. 1 roused myself and listened. 1t sounded like & mule braying. 1 fired my rifle, but beard nothing more. 1 fired ain, Then I heard a shot.

He is u hard-working man, and in the matters of thought and specch is conservative, as the foregoing quotation demonstrates. Some happy fathers on such an occasion would bave been speechless; others garrulous; a few profane. Mr. Lochte was none of these. His impromptu tribute to the event was adequate und not fulsome. It was defin- ite without going into unnecessary par- ticulars, Itexpressed frankly his pa donable surprise, but betrayed no indi- cation of his being rattled. Mr, Lockte deserves congratulation upoun his con duct in this emergency hardly less than % of Triplets, JULY 18 892 Mrs. Lochte morits praise for hor part in it Acknowledgment should be made also to the observant person to whom occurred the happy thought of noting and reporting the speech of Mr. Lochte as a valuable contribution to the litera. ture of human eomotions. And this brings us around to the main purpose of our remarks, which is to suggest that all persons who may be so favored as to witness the joy and listen to the | responses of fathers upon being told | that the result is triplets, shall make a vote of the happy father's words. Thus in time it would be Lm;gihln to comple the “*First Words of “athers of Triplets,'’ somewhat after the compilation of the **Last Words of Emi- nent Men.” That such a work would be valuable indication of the spontaneous processes of the human wmind under stress of complex emotions is self-ovi dent. Tn one other instance only, so far as our information goes, have tho first words of a happy father of triplots been preserved. In that instance they did not give evidence of the preservation of mental poise which was the marked feature of Mr. Lochta’s condition, but they indicated rather an overpowering paternal solicitude. When told that it was triplots this father asked: “Didany of 'em get aw i Al Sr— Always i Republican, Oxama, July 16.—To the Ecitor of Tur Brr: Please stato, if possible, in tomor row's Ber whether Carnegio of Homostead Pa., 1 republican or democrat.
