enced Deaths Horrors.

]. A Porterie is probably the only man
in Phoenix who ever perished on the des-
ert and after being practically dead for a
week returned to life and vigor so he
could tell about 1t. He says that he has
fully realized every sensation of man
who perishes of thirst with the burning
sunshine beating down on him. He was
found and resuscitated. but he had long
passed beyonl the period of consciousness
before help came.
1t was in the summer of 1877 and Mr..
Porterie was working at the Grand Gulch
copper mine on Grand Wash. as it is now
called. north of the Colorado on the Supai
plateau in the northwestern part of this
territory.
The mines are being worked by Nor
mon company from ST. George. Utah. The
company could not get the proper fiuxes
for its ore and therefore did not make a
success of the enterprise. 1t closed down
the mine and all who were employed there
wanted to go back TO Utah except Mr..
POrterie, who desired u come south into
central Arizona. He knew there was a
good road down the Virgin River and to
Mineral Park, but 1t was some distance
west of Grand Wash and over desert
country he had never trayersed and was
not familiar with. He was taken up into
a high mountain by an old man named
Pierce and shown the general direction OF
the road to the Virgin River. He was told
where he could find water halfway along
the trail, at well-known spring. He

saddled UP his mules and with two can
teens of water started out alone
When he got down into the valley he
lest the trail, but kept travelling all that
day and the following night Some time
the next morning, when the sun got
pretty hot and he became almost ex-
hauSted he stopped to make some coffee,
having still one canteen of water left He
was holding his mules by the bride when
along came desert whirlwind and envel-
Oped them, frightening the mule which
dragged him through cactus plant, and
breaking away from him, started back
over the trail. He followed the mule for
a couple OF miles. then gave up the chase,
and again started toward the Virgin Riv-
er on foot and without water or anything
else save an unquenched thirst.
Just how long he wandered he does not
know. but before night he began to get
derilious and after that he remembered
nothing except the hallucinations that
passed through his mind before he became
unconscious He was. oh. so thirsty! 1t
seemed as II his throat was literally on
fire and he was aching all over his body.
He tried every method he knew of mois-
tening his throat. but the relief was but
temporary. He tore open the cactus
plants and every thing that gave promise
of containing the slightest bit of moist
ure, but his thirst seemed to be an ever
increasing one. He could think of moth
ing but water.
Finally. as his strength gave way. pleas
ant dreams began to fit through his
mind ne fancied he saw the niagara
Falls, and the vastnesS of the great river
that flows away over the rapids below
them. Then he seemed to face the broad
expanse of a great fresh water lake He
could not see across it Ii looked so cool
and refreshing he could not restrain him
self and waded into it clear up to his
neck Then he fancied he could feel the
fish cavorting about his feet. and every
thing seemed so peaceful. He was per
fectly happy and contented: did not know
whether he was alive or dead. and did not
care.
About a week later. when he recovered
cons sciousness, he found himself in the
camp of some cattlemen who had found
him some hours after he lost track OF
of cactus thorns where he had chewed up
the priclkly pear in his desperate thirst:
The cattlemen said that when they found
him he was stark naked, doubtless having
disrobed and thrown his clothes away
the lake. His fingers were raw and bleed
the sand for water.
He SAYS that the agony that comes over
one when he first begins to realize that he
Is about to perish for water is simply in
describable, and it increases every min
ute till he begins to lose consciousness
But when the body gives up the struggles
the mind seems to become unnaturally ac-
tive In its efforts TO soothe by seemingly
furnishing that for which the body suf-
fers. and the final hours of the thirst vic
tim are hours of sweetest anticipation

| The unfavorable criticisms of the SUI

practice they have fulfilled every eXpec-

The installation Of the twenty finch

Admiral Bradford concurs with the ma

The armament of the ships of the Nir
giDia class was assigned only after the
most careful consideration and discussion
by many of the ablest officers of the
navy. ] consider il very unfortunate that
the ma jCrity of the Board on Construction
should now recommend an armament for
additional battleships so different in cali
bre and so differently disposed, protected,

a loss of confidence in the knowledge of
the board as to the type of batueship best
suited for naval purposes.

EXCURSIONS.

Judging from the crowds daily making
their way to Chesapeake Beach, that re-
sort must be rapidly growing in favor
with the excursionists of Washington.
They are evidently beginning 10 find out
what splendid place there is so close
at hand at which they can spend a day
or part OF day or an evening. and be cool
and comfortable, TO say nothing of the
various attractions to be found there for
their amusement and recreation The
salt water bathing, of course, is a special
feature, and every day sees hundreds
and sometimes thousands of men. women,
and children splashing and swimming in
the cool waters of the bay new fea-
tnre which the management of the rail-
way company has just announced is a fast
week day train, which leaves the Dis
trict Line Station at p. m and makes
the trip to the Beach in an hour, no stops
whatever being made. This train has been
appropriately called the Department Lin
ited. as IL is very convenient for the de-
partment people who leave their desks at
p. m, thus landing them at the Beach
at O'Clock, where they are allowed
plenty OF time for a fine salt water bath
and good dinner, as the trains do not
return until and 10 p. m. One of the
greatest attractions offered a. the Beach
this season is the splendid band concert
rendered every afternoon and evening by
Haleys full concert band, personally
LED by Mr. Haley. There Is not finer or
better band in the country than the one
at the Beach, fact which is well attested
by the generous applause and earnest at
tentlon given the selections rendered
l ne large metal music shell, in which the
Dand Is stationed, situated Just off the
board walk. Is great addition, and
wonderfully helps to throw the sound of
the music over the entire Beach The
perfect order which is maintained at this
resort Is very commendabIe feature
