ALONE IN
DEATH VALLEY
Terrible Experience Of a Prospec'
tor, Who for Three Days
Struggled Through the
"HeII Hole OF Eearth."

mining man of Goldfeld, arriv-
ed in Rhyolite this week from
Death Valley, says the Bullfrog
Miner, where he was lost oh the
desert for three days and two
nights, and narrowly escaped
death. 1t is the first experience
of the kind this season. That
Mr.. Boyer lives to tell the tale
is perhaps due to his wonderful
powers Of endurance, and the
fact that during the trying Or
deal, while suffering the fortunes
Of torment, his presence of mind
never deserted him.
Mr.. Boyer left Greenwater on
the morning of April Goth, with
out taking water or food, to eX-
anime the country southwest for
o short distance, turn north to
the Clark camp, and complete
the journey of the day to the
Keanc camp, the whole distance
not more than eight miles. A
binding SNOW storm, however,
came up early in the day, and he
lost his bearings in the noun
tains, following canyon which
opened out into Death Valley,
where even at this time Of the
year the heat is terrific. When
he realized his situation, and
how far he had wandered from
his destination, his next object
was to make Furnace creek
ranch, il distance of about 10
miles from his original starting
point, with 10 miles OF this ly-
ing across salt marsh hitherto
considered impassa BILE.
The story is best told by him
self:
after coming into the valley
from the canyon where | spent
the first day and obtained some
water from pool in the rocks,
| encountered Il salt marsh
which to avoid making long
detour, it was necessary to cross.
Luckily it had never come to my
knowledge that this feat Is re
garded by prospectors as an I'M
possibility. My first attempt
was far from encouraging. lsank

water, and was only with great
difficulty that | succeeded in eN-
Treating myself The salt and
boraX incrustations crack and
curl up in the sun similar to
clay on mud flats. only the jag
ccd edges frequently attain a
height of three or four feet. J
soon found my saving expedient
was to zigzag and conline my
journey to these solid places.
Late in the afternoon | reached
TO within about 800 yards of the
further shore of the marsh, when
the blocks of salt gave out and
and the intervening space was
filed with mud and water of I'M
known depth. The choice lay
between retracing my steps or
Drawing the slough, and | chose
rather to die then and there than
TO perish from thirst. Swapping

possible, | made one desperate

HERE'S A LESSON
in fire INSURANCE
Showing How the Insured Really
Carry Their Own Risks, AL
though Few Realize
the Fact.

In order 10 recOup themselves
for the losses sustained in the
great San Francisco fire, the i'll
surance companies have sent up
insurance rates all over the Pa
cilic coast, % per cent.
The following letter has been
issued, and is now made public
for the first time:
Beard Of Fire Underwriters Of
the Pacific, San Francisco, May
"a, 1906.
"Resolution approved May 23,
1906.
Except as hereafter provided,
the rates now applying within
the jurisdiction of this board,
whether published or tariff, are
hereby increased rs per cent.
THE rates so increased shall
be maintained until after the
application Of u schedule based
upon percentages of insurance to
value and increasing present
charges for improper constrnc-
ton, unprotected openings, ha-
zardous occupancies, exposures
and conIlagration hazard.
"EXceptions: The following
classes of risks are not subject to
above increase Risks protected

ings and their contents occupied
exclusively as dwellings, or their
private barns, churches, school
houses and city, town or county
public buildings.
Mote: From published rates
increased as above, Oh buildings
or stocks other than special haz-
ards or public warehouses, re-
auctions heretofore applying for
reinsurance may be made.
ALFRED STILLMAN,
"Sec'ty Executive Committee. "
The effect of the increase will
be easily understood by the in
sured. 1t will mean, for in
stance, that where a man paid
SO premium ON a $1,000 policy
he will hereafter pay $3.50 for
the same policy.
All of the Pacific coast states,
INCLUDING Nevada and Idaho,
will be affected by the raise.

Certainly not; the people would have

is an absurdity; his nomination alone
was a calamity to the Democratic
party. 1t placed thousands of good
men who believe in Democratic princi-
pies. and who rebel against voting for

HEARST CLAIMS scHMITz.
Points to Him as an Example of His
Political Prowess.


CORNING n. Y. Oct 11-After a
journey of nearly ten hours across the
boundaries of three States, Hearst and
his campaign party arrived this even
ing and began his fourth upstate trip,
which is scheduled to last ten days.
Most of the journey across Pennsyl-
vania was through a driving snowstorm
and Hearst's re-entry upon the soil
of New York State was upon a wintry
scene of snowclad hills and roads.
Hearst issued on the train state
ment regarding the attitude of the
independence League on the subject of
non-partisan judiciary nominations in
New York City declaring that the ac-
tion of the league in the matter would
depend largely upon the character OF
the nominations made tonight by the
Republican county committee.
In the course of his remarks Hearst
referred to John B. McDonald's pub
Iished announcement that he would
support Hughes. in spite of having
been a lifelong Democrat.
Another guarantee of Hughes sin
cerity," said Hearst, ''is John B. Nc
Donald. He is the man who built
the New York subway at great profit
and had one succession of strikes and
gan until it ended. Mcdonald declares
for Hughes and fourishing a check
in support of Hughes and says he is
against me because 1 am an enemy of
union labor"
Hearst cited his own conduct of the
San Francisco Examiner, every depart
ment of which, he said, was unionized.
When. five years ago, an effort was
made to destroy unionism ins San Fran
cisco, every advertiser left the paper as
a protest against the papers action.
But, said Hearst, I'VE won the
fight, and the union labor Mayor elected
at that time has been reelected twice
since and has served five years.

RIVERSIDE, Oct 1.-THE Republi-
can stronghold of Riverside gave Bell
a surprise in an audience that filed
every seat at the skating rink and
crowded the doorways. Many ladies
were in attendance and the reception
given the Democratic nominee was re-
spectful in the beginning and enthusi-
astic in the end. Bell appeared to
enjoy the opportunity of speaking to a
Republican audience. He made the
feature of his address tonight a denun-
citation of Gillett for coming to the
aid of Hearst in his speech at Bakers
field and he challenged him to speak
one word on the local issue of trans
portation in California
1t had become evident to political
observers in the south that Hearst had
not only determined not to take Lang
don down, but that he was throwing
more money into the Doodle Dee me-
nagerie in an attempt at recrimination
for the f1aying he was getting nightly
from Bell. Today a rumor came to Bell
that Gillett's adoption of Hearst was
part of definite programme worked
out by Hearst and Hartman in New
York, Hartman having, so 1t is said
aided Hearst in buying in Murphy on
the consideration that Hearst should
keep Langdon running in California
