WAWONA, Oct. s.-A victim of
treacherOus Yosemite trails, III. w.
Tupper, son of the prominent attorney
of that name at Fresno, is either
starving to death far from aid on some
bench of an unscaIabIe cliff or his

panions in trying to find short cut
to the hotel on Sunday.
The valley is excited by the tragedy
and today soldiers may be seen search
ing on the cliff and at its foot. The
young mans father is hurryfng to the
scene.
In the belief that young Tupper's
fight might have been arrested some
cIump of shrpbhery or bench and
that he was alive but unable to crawl
up again, man was lowered 200 feet
with rope. He saw no sign of Tup-
per and there was no answer to his
shouts. The possibility that Tuppcr Is
alive is thought TO be remote.

KINGMAN. Kan, Oct. s.-Senator La
Toilette of Wisconsin lectured here to-
night on Representative Government"
Much of his address was devoted to the
new railroad rate law. The greatest
value of the law. he said. was in the
fact that it was now possible to get a
railroad bill through Congress. The
Senator continued:
I offered nine amendments to the rate
bill Eight of them had been recon-
mended in seven consecutive annual
reports by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Every one of them was
supported by arguments and facts that
man in the Senate answered them. and
yet as fast as ii could be done the Sen
ators voted them down. ! believe that

LONE BANDIT ROBS
AUTO PARTY.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO TIE CALL.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
SAN JOSE, Oct. 8.-One of
the most desperate hold-ups of
the season was committed tonight
on the lonely road that winds past
Mountain View-a part of the
highway that leads from San
Francisco to San Jose. A lone
bandit, Crouching behind a trench,
on the parapet of which red
light-the signal of danger
shone its warning, arose when an
automobile carrying four men, in
GLIDING the chauffeur, stopped at
the obstruction to investigate its
meaning. The bandit stepped
quickly to the side of the auto
mobile and in calm tones asked
the chauffeur for a match. The
chauffeur stopped to pick one out
Of the tool box beneath the seat,
when, like fash, the thug struck
him on the head with a black
jack, telling him unconscious to
the road.
The bandit then drew a revolver and
ordered the three men seated in the
tonneau 10 climb out and line up They
obeyed with alacrity. The thug quickly
went through their pockets and re-
iIevcd them OF their valuables and
then ordered them to place the chauffeur
in the automobile and move on. The
auto had proceeded but a few hundred
yards when it met another machine
headed toward San Francisco. Quickly
explaining the situation, the second au-
tomobfle party agreed TO take the
wounded chauffeur to san Jose for treat
ment while the victims Of the bandit
made full speed for Mountain View,
where the holdup was reported to the
authorities. A posse hurried out from
Mountain View to the scene Of the
robbery but when it reached there the
bandit had disappeared, though his red
danger signal still burned in the road.
The automobile carrying the injured
chauneur reached San Jose late tonight
and he was taken TO a hospital. The
4 his injuries is as yet un-
certain.

from Greenwater by trail. 1t has the

pable of sinking to the 500-foot level.
There is an air of cleanliness about
the whole works. At present there
are eighteen men sinking. The shaft
is down 240 feet and still they are go
ing down. The old proverbial oaken
bucket here is a matter of the past
and In It's place is a nice little cage,
of about the same size they used In

Iit is well known that here as well as
elsewhere the Butte boys have fel-
low feeling for one another. It is
needless for us to say that we were
never more cordially greeted.
The shaft is down 240 feet. They
are sinking on the vertical and the
shaft Is not now on the lead on which
they first commenced to sink. The
lead has dipped away to the east. but
another lead has dipped into the
shaft. which. too. carries good values.
The company will continue sinking for
some little distance yet before cross
cutting, and what these cross-cut val
ues are viii have to remain a matter
of conjecture until they do. While
the shaft continued in lead matter
the values were very regular and so
continued until the ledge passed
from the shaft into the country rock.
From the indications of the dump,
the shaft is in brown iron stained
granite. The streak which dips
toward the shaft shows red oxide of
copper. for which this country has
become so much noted.
Jim" Harvey, the manager. is
hourly expected at the mine. Mr..
Harvey is one of those whole-souled,
big-hearted mine managers. While
away the mine and property are in
charge of others. A short distance
to the east we dropped down in SUI
perintendent leagues property.
There are a number of men working
here. There is no secrecy. Hospi-
tality reigns as 1t does in any mining
camp. The boys are all laboring to
place another copper producer in line
with the others that are already
showing the best. The shaft has
been sunk so feet and a crosscut has
been run through the lead distance
of 20 feet. The boys here are not
deep enough: this is too much like
gophering. The shaft will have to
be continued as deep as that of the
Clark shaft. which adjolns on the
north. before they can expect to en-
counter any amount of ore. The
shaft ought to be continued to the
sulphide which can be expected at
water level and we do not have the
least doubt of the existence of cop
per sulphide ore In depth In this
camp. The fact lies far beyond a
question of dispute. Red oxide
abounds everywhere. even i'm the
league workings up to and into the
grassroots, and no one ever heard of
copper doing that before, not even
in the fabulously rich ores of the
Summit Valley district Of Montana.
