PROBABLY TERISHED. -O4 the lolh OF
las. November Morris Kane and Mat
Mokler started from Ell Dorado Canyon
for Ivanpah. and became lost. Mokler
desired to take an old trail, which be
was acquainted with, but Kane insisted
upon taking trail they had been told
about. which was said to have been
shorter. During the second day out,
while in search of water, they became
separated and we're unable to find each
other. Mokler wandered about for three
days and nights without water, at night
time going on top of the mountains
and building large fire as signal,
80 as if Kane was in the neighborhood
he could see it. After wandering
around for several days he finally
reached Ivanpah. but was unable to
learn anything of his partner as be had
not been seen in that section. Mokler
then secured the services of an Indian
and went in search of Kane, and after
ten-day's hunt was unable to find any
tracks OF him., He desired the Indian
to make search, IN several directions, but
the Indian refused, saying there was no
water. Mr.. Mokler thinks Kane must
have certainly persisted as he was on foot
and had not morsel of provisions with
him and had then been without water for
two days. When these two men separ-
ated Kane had in his pocket check for
5000 and q silver watch belonging to
Mokler. which Mokler had given him to
carry as his own pockets were all wore
out. Mokler had on his pack animal
silver brick valued at $60-discount Off
which Kane had got at Ell Dorado Canyon
in exchange for his horse. Morris Kane
is we'll known in Phoebe, having worked
for number OF years in our mines and
OF the mills.
SUBSCRIPTIONS. Charley Meyers, Tom
Andrews and Dave Cohn started out on
collecting tour Tuesday for the benefit
Of jim Logan, who is blind and has but
one hand. They succeeded in collecting
Sl54 for Uucle Jim, as he is familiarly
called. Uncle Jim ia as big hearted
man as ever lived in the mountains. and
in the prosperous days OF White Pine,
when he was in the position and had the
wherewith to do so, his charities were
extended far and wide, and was given
tended In friendship from one man TO an
other. and many poor prospector and
miner, lying in their cabin upon sick
bed, have had their hearts gladdened by
supply Of provisions being brought to
them, not knowing that it was Uncle Jim
who sent them, and now IS Uncle Jim
has met with great misfortune, having
lost his eye-sight and one of his hands
by premature blast in a mine, the
Piochers thought it was as little as they
could do to in turn extend helping band
to one whom had always been so liberal
himself in aiding others in need. Mr..
Logan departed for Silver Reef Wednes-
day morning. He is earning living by
selling miners candlesticks, and several
other little nicknacks. We feel sure that
the Refers will do the right thing by
Uncle Jim.
For LONG VALLEY.-On Tuesday eigh.
men and large supply of quicksilver
and other supplies were shipped by Andy
Fife TO his mill at Long Valley. The
calculation ia &c start it up next week,
whom we hope to hear good accounts
from that valley. Enough ore is on
hand to make good start and the teams
hauling from the mines can keep the
same amount on hand at the mill. the mill
in the meantime running steadily. The
mines are situated about six miles from
the mill and are under the charge of
Joseph Kilbin, foreman, an old and
practical miner. who has been in the en-
ploy of the Raymond & Ely company for
several years. Mr.. Fife. accompanied
by three men, left here Wednesday for
Long Valley. We wish this gentle
man the best of luck with his mining
property, for he certainly deserves it.
