MINERS M|SHAPS,
Thrilling Tale Told Of the Tragedy
on Salmon River.

on Salmon River.
From Thursdays daily.
James McCaffrey, one of the
survivors of the recent wreck on
Salmon river reached Grangeville
last night. His story of the TRACE
dy as told to the DAILY Pass
forms thrilling page in the his
tory of min rs mishaps and
adventures.
Mccartney, Mallory, Shorthill
and O'Bricn had al! made loca-
,ions at Mallick, and started back
on foot for Florence with samples
of ore from their claims, Satu. day
last. Seven miles below Mallick at
E.k creek they came upon JEFF
Turpin, who had made the trip up
with boat full of grub, and hav.
ing cached his provisions was about
to start down stream. He offered
the Mallick men lift, which they
eagerly accepted.
The whole outfit got along
swimmingly until they reached a
point six miles above Madam
Carey's ranch at the old wire
bridge. AT this place there is a
sharp bend in the river and the
stream sets strongly to the north
neutrality-suspicious. cliffs-creat-
ing dangerous backwater and
breakers.
Despite the frantic efforts of all
hands, the boat was swept toward
the bank and under the breakers.
In a moment the frail bark was
capsized and the five men were
struggling in the water. McCaf-
frey at once struck out away from
the bank and breakers, succeeding
in getting away from both. Then
managed to kick off his rubber
boots and looked back to see what
had become Of his companions.
The only one he could see was
Mallory, who was at that moment
swept by him, and had succeeded
in catching the overturned boat.
This he pushed towards Mccartney,
who by that time was in need Of
assistance. A breaker had broken
in his face and filed his lungs with
water.
The two men succeeded in right
ing the boat and bailing her out.
They spent considerable time
searching for their comrades with
out success, finally getting back
into the boat and with the aid of a
pair of snowshoes, the sole relic OF
the missing men, they swiftly and
safely reached the State bridge,
miles below the scene of the tragedy
Upon their arrival at Florence
w. Spear, Mike O'Brien's partner,
at once organized search party
which returned to the river with
Mallory, one of the survivors
Nothing is known at present as te
the results of their efforts.
OF the missing men, jeff Turpir
is probably the best known on thu
prairie, having owned land in thu
Lake precinct for many years. A
T. Shorthill is IA resident of no
long standing. He will be remem
bered by many as prominen
witness in the affray which resulted
in the killing of Ward and Ser
at the Shissler ranch below Wah,
a few years since. Nothing mucl
can be learned concerning o. Brien
Mr.. Mccartney does not recon
, mend the boat method of reaching
the Mallick district. He say
that rapids occur every quarter G
) a mile, and while they have bee
navigated by Jack Cameron an
Ed. Lortscher, it requires luck an

A BIG RUSH PREDICTED.
This Is Old Idaho County's
Year and We Don't Care
Who Knows 1t.
w. L. Hireen, manager OF
the Idaho. Comstock mine at
Dixie, Idaho, and one of the
best posted mining men OF
that part of the state, is in Spo-
kane and was interviewed by
the Chronicle. He has lately
been to the Hump, and he con.
firms the big snow stories, only
adding that it is deeper than
IA feet as a rule. He tells of
a party with which he was
travelling which stopped to
camp on the trail to the Hump
and built a fire on top of the
snow. When it had melted
down to dirt, they measured
the snow and found it 16 feet
deep.
"And the worst of it is that
you come out of the deep
snow and almost Immediately
find yourself in mud almost as
deep" said Mr.. Hireen. 1t is
a hard road to travel to get
into the Hump camp. But
