the dirty work. Still going south. we
ran into settled fair weather. Miss
Duncan was allowed on deck No
words Of mine can describe her superb
courage. She faced those miscreants
with a look that meant that if one Of
them offered her an insult she would
surely Kill herself. One evening I
managed to whisper to hcr: L mean
to save you"
The voyage dragged On for more
than two terrible weeks. Then we ran
into a network OF islands, the Filipino
steering the boat through an inconcclN-
ably tOrtuoUs channel. We were in
the New Orleans Delta. a collection Of
Islands. and islands, vast innumeTs-
bic, UNEMPLOYED inhabited only by FIJI
ipinoS. Dyaks. Algerians and the Of
Scourings Of the piratical sea tribes Of
the tropics. The Filipino was the only
man who could guide the yacht
He ran her into dark creek, where
she might have lain hidden for a thou
sand years. Her tOpmasts were taken
down and her hull painted black
Here we waited four siclzening weeks.
7 knew the devils were holding Miss
Duncan for a great ransom, but why
this apparent inaCtiOn? From time 10
time a Filipino duplicate of the cook
came to him with provisions, whispered
to him and went away.
Then most fortunate thing hap
pened. The three white men were
stricken with the worst form of ma
IaTia- Miss Duncan and 1 were spared.
The Filipino seemed master of the sit
uaIiOn.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1901-07-14

At last my chance came. One scorch-
ing midday the three whites were toss
ing with fever in the cabin. Miss Dun
can was on deck and so was the Fill
ipinO. He had tied me to the mast for
safety, and his sleep and his endless
watches had made him drop asleep a
few feet from me. The knife which he
always kept handy in his belt was
loOser than usual. It rested partly on
the ground. I stretched out my bare
foot and with extreme ard nOiseless
-delicacy. succeeded in drawing it to me.
In a moment ] had cut my bonds
Then stleneed that Filipino suddenly
and forever.
I beckoned Miss Duncan and we
dropped into the boat the Filipino kept
at the stern. The tide running out
carried US away so that I did not have
to make any noise rowing:
Free! But there was at least an
even chance that we should never get
out Of that deadly wilderness Of isl
ands alive.
Miss Duncan told me the details of
her story. It was the colossal kidnap-
ing OF all history. The scoundrels
had demanded S10.000.0OO from her
father. Yet that sum was but a trifie
to him, the great unifier of trusts, and
every body knew that he would give
every cent he had in the world for his
daughter.
One evening a carriage came to her
house and the footmsn brought a mes
sage that her aunt, mentioning the
name, was i'll. and would she come
round at once? She jumped into the
carriage, which, after a few minutes
suddenly drove into a big. deserted
stable. which closed behind her. Then
she was sUfOcated with ChlorofOrm
and did not wake UP until she was be-
ing rowed out to the yacht. Young
Johnson was doubtless the designer of
this diabolical plot. 1 knew she had
refused to marry him..
on the afternoon Of the second day,
when we had almost resigned our
selves TO death, we suddenly ran into
one Of the main ship channels. We
sighted a sail within an hour, and
within five more we were in New Or
leans.
The biggest banker in the city took
charge OF Miss Duncan. From him we
learned that old Mr.. Duncan had
agreed to pay the $4,000 000 at once,
but had made very thorough arrange
ments to catch the scoundrelS after
ward. They learned of this from a
detective in the scheme and decided 10
prove to Mr.. Duncan that they could
remain in their undiscovered island
hiding place indefinitely. They proved
it EFFECTIVELY They required him to
>
lawyers and bankers that he would
not only not prosecute them, but would
tight against every effort to do SO.
Then they had taken surprisingly in
geniOus methods to cover their tracks,
tie telling whereof would be a long
story. Doubtless IL was only their i'll
ness that prevented the entire success
Of the plan They were never caught,
and I believe the black mud received
their fever stricken bodies.
Need I say that I was deeply in love
with that brave girl after the ordeal
she had passed through? During that
time 7 would gladly have died for her,
but now I am happy TO say that I am
going TO live fer her.

Don't Knock So
ciety.

A new order, the Don't Knock
Society, has recently been organ
lied in Buffalo. KNOCK" in this
sense, is a familiar slang word that
will be in the dictionary pretty
soon, if it isn't already. 1t means
don't spitefully injure, detract, or
hinder others. The constitution
of the Buffalo Don't Knock So
ciety declares:
I'VE believe that the practice of
speaking i'll of our fellow-men,
otherwise knocking is detestible,
unbrotherly and uncharitable.
"We believe that many lives are
ruined daily, that many hearts are
made miserable and many men
and women driven to desperation
by the despicable practice Of
knocking
Every one caught shocking
saying something i'll about any,
body else. is fined one cent. And
if everyone who does this had to
pay one cent for each offense, the
accumulated sum would soon be
large. There must be criticism,
censure and reproof; but knock
ing" is an evil habit. Some peo-
pie knock" their neighbors, some
their acquaintances, behind their
backs, some the city or State in
which they live. and some are such
chronic knockers that nobody
nor anything suits them. They
always pull back, never push; al
ways hinder, never help.
There are orders and societies
enough, goodness knows, but, as
the Portland, Oregon, Telegram
saws. an order of Don't Knockers
if it could keep from "knocking''
one another, ought to be beneficial.
No doubt this will prove to be
a good order and probably at no
distant day there may be such an
order instituted in Battle Noun
tain which would do some good.

Advertise Nevada.

The idea of advertising Nevada
is a good one. Every State in the
Union, more particularly the West,
has used it effectively. Plenty of
idle capital is to be found in the
East looking for investment. Cap
ital wants low grade ores and large
bodies. Capital, on proper repre-
sentation, will readily grab up res
ervoir sites, such as abound in the
Humboldt Valley. We have plenty
of mines, and plenty of arabic
land. Capital does not know that
Nevada is rich and resourceful.
There is not a mining bureau or
exchange in Nevada or any large
promotion company.
Mr.. Van Duzer, in his book the
Resources of the Humboldt Val
ley, will have an accurately com
piled directory of all mines, their
location, their owners, accessibility
to fuel, water and transportation
and will have maps of reservoir
sites and have experts reports and
the placing of several thousand
copies of the book in the hands of
mining men, mining experts, CAPT
~talists and commercial centers in
the East is bound to attract the at
tention of capital to the grand
possibilities of the Humboldt
valley-more population for Ne
vada-more homes, more indus
tries, and the cooperation of cap
ital through a legitimate advertise
ing of our resources will give the
Humboldt valley a population of
100, 000.-Independent.

the most self-sustaining and pros

The Future of Our
State as We
See 1t.

After taking a careful view on
the future prospects of our State,
We have come to the conclusion
that there is a bright future in
store for our grand old State as en-
couraging proofs continue to come
from the mining field as one re-
suit after another blossoms forth,
which has cost years OF toll and
many dollars in money. The hard
labor and faithful persistence
which has been expended in so
many unknown and u~nobserved
portions of our vast mineral bear
ing territory is coming at last to
the harvest and the outlook is GER
tainly full of encouragement, even
to those who have almost lost faith
in the recompense coming in the
slow and tedious march of events.
Mining never yet has shown its
best results and most valuable
characteristics from the fact that
they have not been sought in the
line where they alone are to be
found, but the marked improve
ment in satisfactory returns, shows
that men from experience are learn
ing wisdom and more nearly APP
preaching the true line of success
full operation.
1t is therefore gratifying to note
that there Is signs of new life in this
direction. More eastern men are
coming this way now than western.
We hear of them inspecting mines
In Humboldt, Elko, Eureka, Lam
der, White Pine and Nye coun-
ties, and elsewhere throughout
the State, and in some instances
reopening up the old mines that
have remained idle for many years
and which in some instances are
giving good results.
It would be we'll to note that our
agricultural interests are growing
and it is not a wild prediction to
say that a State once valued for it's
mineral wealth and later for its
grazing properties will one day,
become noted for its agricultural,
horticultural and viticultural pro-
ducts. The two things essential
to the attainment of this end are
water and people. Experience
proves that artesian water flows
are easily obtained on the noun
tain fringed plains and valleys.
The reports supply the facts to.
show that the mining interests of
Nevada are not waning, while all
other legitimate pursuits are grow
ing in volume and importance.
The future prosperity of the State
is very promising.
It is also surprising to see what
strides are being made in the
numerous fertile valleys of this
State in the opening up and Guilt
walton of fine farms. The soil
proves in almost every instance
to be SURPRISINGLY rich and es-
pecially adapted to the various
crops which are grown in the east
ern states. As a hay producing
country it has hardly an equal in
proportion to the area devoted to
that branch OF agriculture. In a
great many valleys in this State
the growth of alfalfa is remarkable.
Three and four tons of excellent
hay to the acre seems to be the
rule and not the exception.
Nevada is attracting attention
In the East, and it may not be
long before a tide of immigration
will be settling this way. Homes
for a great population are to be
found, and in almost every locality
of our State good locations are
readily obtainable. Colonies of
people desiring moderate holdings
