HISTORY OF GEEENWATER.
Pioneer of Death Valley Region Gives
Interesting Facts

Grcenwaters real history may he said

the statement Of Clarence Neyman. for
thirty years and six months a resident Of
this section. but principally in the Rest

OF a vast fund OF interesting information
concerning Greenwater, Death Valley and
many other points OF the des y;t country,
and although he has resided tsre for more
than thirty years. he is still rs hale and

But as 10 the first work done on the
copper ledges OF Greenwater This was
in 1880. on the trail between the present
town of Greenwatcr and the camp known
AS kunze, where Nick Cavanaugh and an
other man named Tony sank n hole on
ledge. They also sank another at Green
water Springs, an Indian having shown
them the place They sank a hole, but
got no water, but later on returning TO it
found IL full.
The next prospectors In Greenwatcr
came only six years ago, when Frank Me
Allister and others did little work, An
occasional location had been made during
the intervening years. probably never re-
corded. Water was scarce, copper was
not in such demand 1t is now. and the
distance from. supply point prohibited
much prospecting.
Judge Bethune and Arthur Holt came
in about FIVE years ago. and LATER Burney

in 1905 came Arthur kun2e. called the
father OF Greenwater' who after pros

PRECAUTIoN IN MINES.
Rescue Of Hicks Illustrates What Gould
Be Provided Oftener.

rescue ne dramatic as the most ar
dent playwright could desire came last
week as the climax Of two weeks of hard
work following disaster which proved
iatal TO all save one of a party of six
miners. one Hicks is the hero OF the
affair. which has been heralded all over
the country under the facetious captions
OF the press paragrapher. while to Cali
fornia belongs the credit of making the
confinement of an entombed miner en-
durable by providing musical entertain
mcnt to keep his spirits up and liquid
nourishment for the needs OF his body
SAYS the Mining Reporter.
The accident, which has its unfortu-
nate side. occurred in a shaft on the
tunnel of tho Edison Electric Power COM
pany. near Bakersfield. Cal. Six men
were buried under sixty feet of earth
and only one escaped the crushing force
which eNtinsulshcd the lives OF the other
five, The survivor subsequently COM
munlcated with those on the surface by
tapping on an air pipe. and was there
after kept alive for fortnight by liquid
nourishment delivered through the same
pipe, while his rescueTs were working
day and night driving n tunnel TO reach
him His, rescue on The fifteenth day
was attended with scenes Of greatest tov
on the part OF the inhabitants OF the
camp.
The incident recalls some suggestions
which recently appeared in our columns
relating to communication between en-
tombed miners and their rescuers- and
the value of the ideas presented comes
with renewed force in the light Of this
accident. Another feature of the Incl
dent just recorded is the possibility that
grows out Of the fac, that the unfortu
nate man was kept alive for two weeks
by nourshment delivered through an air
pipe. This again recalls recent articles
appearing In our columns on the saving
of life in coal mines. or any other where
disasters have happened which entomb

all There is no doubt whatever that the
mine. so far as has been shown, is In
healthy condition. and that values are ap-

chiefly talked about, has been stripped for
a distance of ll0 feet. and broken down

without assay results. The vein is almost
solid argenrite containing native silver,
smaltite and calcitc, and the wall rocks
contain n workable amount of leaf sill

vary from about twenty inches TO forty
eight inches. AT the bottom there was
exposed a little decomposed calcite. but

A UNIQUE EXPOSITION.
Lesson of the jamestown Celebration
In Virginia.

The greatest lesson of all in the COM
ing celebration at Jamestown, Va, in
commemoration of the three hundredth
anniversary of Americas first perma-
nent white settlement will be the les
son in American history, says Harpers
Weekly. 1t will be more than anything
else a historical exposition. Even the
naval display will run into history.
Alongside the modern men-of-war and
some of the latest types of modern
transatlantic passenger steamers there
will be anchored reproductions of all
craft made by man from the earliest
-trlremes, such vessels as brought
the Jamestown settlers over In the sew
enteenth century, the caravels in which
Columbus and his followers crossed the
sea In the fifteenth century, and So
through the entire range of marine
architecture.
American colonial history Is to be IL
lustrated in every conceivable way by
collections, charts and maps Of all
sorts. For that matter the country
aUOuL lIoLllPlOh ANOuIo 1Ol
around is strewn with the most i'm
presslve landmarks of our country's
history to be found anywhere within
an area Of like size. The colonial era
Is represented by the old mansions of
the James, by many time stained
churches going back to the very days
of the jamestown settlers. The eli
matte event of the Revolutionary war,
the surrender of CORVALLIS, occurred
In Yorktown, only few miles away,
where the old houses that were there
during the siege still stand. And then
there is Williamsburg, the second seat
Of government, and jamestown island
itself, all close at hand. An electric
railroad to be constructed will link all
these places up with Norfolk and make
nem In way part of the historical
exhibit of the exposition itself.

Into disrepute, and men and women
