MAN FRIDAY.
The Thrilling Experience of . Placer
Miner on q Lonely Island I'm the
Snake River.

Special Dispatch TO the Standard.
Boise, Idaho. Dec. 5.-Parties in from
Snake river tell OF the remarkable ex-
perience OF Scotty Burnham, a placer
miner. Scotty was desirous Of examin-
ing an inland in the middle OF the
river. but the water was exceedingly
treacherous around the island, and he
put II of for some time. Finally he
made a bold resolve TO reach the COW
eted ground. which he believed TO be
very rich. He started for the island In
q small boat, and after hard work sue
ceeded in reaching IL, but as he
jumped out OF the boat he fell and the
boat was kicked backwards into the
current and went floating away with
all of Scotty's blankets and provisions.
He built a fire and waited. expecting
that some one would come along on the
bank of the river. but he waited IN
vain. He killed some birds with rocks
and ate them almost raw. How he
lived through the bitter cold nights he
himself does not know. for he became
crazed. For days he remained on the
island and then rushing wildly into
the river succeeded I'm swimming to the
shore. more than 100 yards. through
the whirling rapids. in which IL was
believed no human being could live for
a minute. His madness led him TO act
which saved his life. He is now in a
fair way to recover. but II will be some
time before he vii be able to complete
ly throw of the effects OF his Crusoe-
like experience.
