A strange story In told by Frank d. Randall
Q, how he was whirled 10 a frau canvas boat
through the rapids Of the Grand Canyon OF the
Colorado. rskina his life and almost losing It in
the search for copper: how he found copper
enough In riain sight to supply the markets OF
America and to make a man richer than q
Ro.h.chill; and how. as he was dashed down
the rapids at the bottom oithe great canyon alta
speed OF sixteen miles an hour. he passed out
groupings OF eoid-encrusted rock and masses
OF schist with sarnets sticking out like the
plums IN a pudding. and veins al coal and
asbestos and mica and great walls OF onyx
and ssrpentine. and lines OF old clln dwcllers'
houses high overhead.
Mr. Randall Ia q plain. modest. auiet-talking
man. a civil engineer who lives with his wife
a. IFS Jackson avenue He has documents
and relics and specimens which he shows as
proof OF the truth OF what he saws. The
trip was made last winter Mr.. Randall will
leave this city next month to visit the copper
mine again and try and form plan to take out
the ore. With Mr.. Randall when he made the
trip into the Grand Canyon last winter were
