WANDER
FROM The DESERT

While it would seem from the data
at hand that the list of fatalities among
prospectors in the Death Valley region
so far this year is very much smaller
than it was last, yet there is much
evidence leading to the conclusion that
there have been many deaths from
heat and thirst of which there is no
knowledge, and that many of the dis
appearances reported here are to be ac-
counted for in this way, says the Bull
frog Miner Of Friday of last week:
Fred S. Washburn, who has just re-
turned from a prospecting trip in the
northern end of Death Valley, says
that at Steneger's ranch So miles north
west of Rhyolite recently several
burro trains without drivers have
wandered in from the desert, and
the supposition is that they belonged
to p~rospectors. Only a few days ago
three burros came in, and a little later
two others evidently belonging to a
ulhCiCAI OulHt. lHS duiiIldhS were
gaunt and about famished. Some of
them still had their packs on their
backs while others had evidently grown
so lean that they had slipped their
burdens. There was no possible way
Of Identification, however. The first
bunch, after having been fed and
watered at the ranch, when driven
away took the road toward Goldfeld,
while the second headed north in the
direction of Tule canon.
The burros came from the locality
where Judge Bethune is supposed to
have persisted looking for his lost silver
mine, and it is believed that their
owners met a similar fate while search
ing for the Bethune deposit. Briefly
the history of the lost Bethune mine is
that Judge Bethune located some very
rich silver ore somewhere in the upper
end of Death valley. He came out
thinking that ne had the locality prop
erly marked so hat he would be able to
identify it on his return. He was
unable to do this, however, as far as
known, although he made several trips
in search of the deposit. He never
returned from the last one, and is sup
posed to have lost his life. Last win
ter the bones of a man were found in
this region, and they were thought to
be the remains of Judge Bethune, but
this was never clearly established.
1t is believed that a great many of
the disappearance which have been
reported here may be traced to Death
valley. A great many letters have
been received from relatives all over
the country inquiring about missing
husbands, fathers and brothers last
heard of at some point in the Bullfrog
district. 1t is a reasonable conclusion
that many of these have embarked on
prospecting trips to Death valley and
persisted from heat and thirst.

Warming to Prospectors

Jack Powers, the freighter, who
hauls the water to the Furnance Greek
company, indicates to the editor of the
Las Vegas Times that he is highly
indignant over a report having gained
circulation that there was an unlimited
supply of water in the Funeral ridge.
He says there is nothing further from
the truth than that statement. The
truth is there is no water in the
country short of q miles, and that is at
Furnace creek. In going in there is an
ample supply at Ash Meadows, and it
is here where all should load up with
water enough to take them in and then
to take them out. 1t is a fact that the
companies who are operating in there
are going to an enormous expense to
keep their W camps supplied, and as
for bathing that is out of the question.
There are almost insurmountable OBJ
stacles and dangers to overcome, but
the rush of miners continues, and there
a be no excuse offered for those who
go into the country i'll prepared and
who offer up their lives as a sacrifice.
1t is no strange sight to run across
human bones on the desert; they are
strewn from end to end Of Death
valley, and they mark each spot as a
warning to others who venture, and
who, if not properly equipped, will, too,
leave their bones upon the sun-parched
plain that has already claimed many
more than its share.

for sixteen years, including the entire period of
the Civil War
Another member of Congress who rose from the
ranks of the pages is Representative Claude Ktchin
of North Carolina. He worked his way through
college, and early in life became successful lawyer.
One of the young who studied law while
serving as a page was successful in collecting
bad accounts for a New York mercantile establish
ment and now receives annual salary of twenty
five thousand dollars and holds considerable stock
in the company.
The young men who, starting pages, elect to
remain in the service of the Senate in respon-
sibe positions almost invariably have highly
cessful There might be noted for instance,
the case of Isaac Bassett, who entered Congress
page in 1891, and remained in the service of that
body continuously until his death about six years
ago He rose steadily to the position of sergeant at
arms of the Senate, of the most desirable
tive positions at the Capital
The present assistant sergeant at arms of the
Senate Alonzo H. Stewart, who receives a salary of
twenty-five hundred though he is duty only three
months of the year, is another who began page.

A TERM of service page on the floor of the
~ United States Senate House of Repre-
4 l. sentatives at Washington appears to be one
of the best stepping stones to to be found
in the entire country. Some of the foremost men
in American public life and number of the
shrewdest business in the country started out
as messengers for the national lawmakers; and that
conditions have not changed in the least during the
years which have elapsed is conclusvely proved by
the fact that every few months brings some fresh
chronicle of former page boy who has made a
name for himself in some field of endeavor

he cannot secure an appointment page, and, far
from rustng in the VOCATION it may be said that the
work and the with whom he daily comes in con-
tact would be likely to render capable and efficient
even lad not possessed of much natural ability
Finally, even more important than the training in
its effect upon his life career, is the opportunity
afforded to each boy to become acquainted with and
perhaps impress favorably, prominent men of mani
fold interests who are in a position to help young
up the ladder of success if they inclined

He paused. Presently the woman turned toward

half In the Senate the pages nominated by the
various Senators and appointed by the sergeant
at arms. In the House the appointment of pages is
made by the doorkeeper the recommendation
of members of the House.
In each body the salary of page is seventy-five
dollars month during the session of Congress,
which means that he may have opportunity to
work anywhere from three to nine months year.
The primary duty of each page is look after the
desks of allotted number of Congressman, filing
the bills introduced, and attending to other similar
matters.
The discipline maintained among the force of
pages is almost as strict as that which prevails in
military company. The boys without exception
regard their work with all the seriousness and
of responsibility which could be expected in old
man. They report for duty promptly at nine o'clock
each morning and continue on duty until perhaps
half an hour after Congress has been adjourned
This is likely to be at sometime between three and
six O'Clock in the afternoon; but when there is
night session of Congress the boys must be
hand, and there have been occasions when these
boys worked all day and all night, with only such
brief intervals of rest they could get by lounging
on the sofas in the cloak rooms when not needed
by the members.
Youngsters Are Ambitious
As might be expected, these boys are, almost
without exception, extremely ambitious, and
large number of them attend night schools while
serving pages Particularly is this plan followed
by the young who desire to become lawyers,
and a number of young men have been graduated
from law schools the result of studies conducted
in this manner. Service as page is pretty certain
to fire boys ambition to study law or enter
political life Once he has taken up legal course he
finds that if he will only keep his open he will
hear much during the sessions of Congress which
will aid him in his studies; while, on the other hand,
he learns much at the law school which aids him in
understanding proceedings in Congress
The cases in which position as page in Congress
has served the first round of ladder to fame or
fortune numerous
One of the notable of these is that of the late
Arthur P. German, who served for years as a
Der of the United States Senate. When thirteen
years old he made page in the Senate, and
served that body in different subordinate capacities
