Food.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 14.-Col. John Brad
bury. the Los Angeles millionaire, has just
barely escaped death. For five days he was at
sea in an open launch and entirely without
food. Bradbury, it will be remembered, was
deserted by his wife a few months ago. She
eloped with tho Englishman, II. Russell Ward,
tcrming 1t a romantic incident. Then there
was q reconciliation in Chicago, and the Brad
burys went to Mexico. Ward, q few weeks
later, committed suicide by jumping from q
train in Iowa.
Bradbury last week left his mines on the
Rosario River to go to Mazatlan in a small
launch. there being only the engineer with
him. On going outside the river they encoun-
tercd n storm and 1t was impossible for them to
reach shore. Fuel and food gave out and they
burned everything about the launch except tho
hull to keep her going, even throwing in all Of
their clothing except enough to cover them.
For five days they battled with the storm, suf-
fering from starvation and thirst. A rain
storm providentially gave them q little water
and had it not been for this both would un.
doubleday have been raving maniacs. The
men had signals of distress displ aged, and four
teen miles south of Mazatlan a tug sent out by
Bradbury's uncle at q cost Of 81, 900 sighted

stopped and the men were lying in the bottom

miner, who arrived last night from Juneau,
says that Stewart River will provo no less rich
in gold than tho Klondike before next season
passes. This summer he and three partners
took out $4,000 in gold in five days from q
tributary flowing into Stewart River, 200
miles above its mouth. This establishes
a record for Stewart River. but Schmidt
says his party will greatly beat 1t this
winter when they reach bedrock. Schmidt
has been on tho Yukon eighteen months. Last
May they struck II rich on Stewart River,
thirty-hve miles above its mouth. They found
gold in many other places, but kept searching
until they found dlggings that satisfied them.
