A Severe Experience.

The miner who was reported
lost in the Hump last week has
been found, but his experience was
such that he will never forget the
days and nights he spent strug-
Cling in the snow without food or
shelter. 1t seems that on starting
from the Hump to the Jumbo
mine he lost the trail, owing to
the severe storm that was raging,
and wandered about until he was
suddenly plunged over a snow
slide into the canyon below.
After digging himself out he wan
dered about in the canyon for
three days and nights without food
and when just about exhausted
managed to reach VIM. Plummer's
cabin ut the mouth of sheep creek.
He was taken care Of here, and al
though badly frost-bitten recovered
rapidly and in a few days was
able TO return to the mines.

causes the Death In q Horrible Manner
Of James ?. Jones, Well
Known Miner.
At OREGON NINE ON SALMON RIVER
unfortunate Man Attempted to Thaw
Out the Explosive With
Above Result.

James F. Jones, miner we'll
known in this c,nnty, met a hor.
rible death last Friday night while
at work on the Oregon mine on
salmon river about six miles above
Pollock.
Some time ago Jones and his
partner, Dave Padrick, took a
contract to run 400 feet of tunnel
IN the property which is owned BY
Geo. Hartwig \ Co. They wei
running two shifts, Jones and
Robert Dunn working on the night
shift. They had not been working
long Friday night when Jones re-
marked that he would go out and
see how the powder was getting on
which they had left in the black
smith shop at the mouth of tn,
tunnel to thaw. He had been
gone but few minutes when
Dunn heard the expl osion and,
rushing out, found Jones lying
against an embankment fifteen
feet away, his skull fractured and
the flesh torn from his legs in IA
frightful manner aud the black
smith shop literally blown to
pieces. Dunn immediately mott
led the men in the cabin bslow
the mine, but nothing could b.
done as Jones did not 1--we to ex-
ceed fifteen minutes.
The supposition is that when
Jones went out to examine the
powder, which was in a five gallon
pail sitting on the bellows, he
found it too cold and started the
bellows to blow the fire and in
some way Jared it or knocked it
over causing it to explode
The remains of the unfortunate
man were taken t. higgins where
they were buried Sunday after
noon.
Jones was about 33 years Of age,
but little is known of his rela-
tives except that it was reported
that his parents and a wife lived in
Kentucky or Tennessee. He came
to this county about 1896 from
Star, in Ada county, and he with
Padrick secured considerable min-
ing property in the Hump, among
which was half interest in the
Brooklyn mine. He was generous
and agreeable and generally liked
by those who knew him.

properties. Mr.. Holsclaw has So
cured a large number of claims

on Big creek which show good
values, and he expects to develop
