was found tonight in the forest about
eight miles from his destination. He was
alive. but very weak. An employee Of the
lumber camp, who was not a member OF
the searching party but was out in the
woods on mission for his employer. dis
covered Edwards.
The lost man was greatly weakened by
his experience and he could not give a
clear account OF how he came to lose his way
or how he subsisted so long without or
dinary food. From the nature Of his sur
roundings it was Judged that he sustained
life by eating blueberries. which grow in
profusion In the neighborhood.
The man who found Edwards called up
a doctor by telephone and the doctor or
dered that the patient should not be allowed
TO eat anything Of a solid nature. He
cautioned the employees of Carnshan not
10 give Edwards more than a spoonful OF
broth at a time. Communication was also

ney Immediately organized a band Of en-
ployees for the rescue. They had to travel
eight miles over a rough road and the in
dications are that they will not reach Ed

According to what little could be got
Of Edwards he was on his way TO Csrna-
hans camp to straiehten out the books
when he stopped at a camp at Lake Kora
TO get Information as to how to continue
the journey. Apparently he failed 10
follow the directions given for he went
wide OF the mark and landed in the forest
eight miles beyond
The searching party never thought OF
looking for him there, as the place was 80
remote from the lumber camp, and the
dogs never found the scent after il left
the regular trail. Mr.. Edwards is one OF
the best known expert accountants in
this part Of New York and his experience
aroused the whole population Of the northern
end of the State.
1t was his two sons. who live in Utica. who
after a long search finally decided to try
bloodhounds The dogs were secured in
Poughkeepsie and turned loose on the trail
for nearly twenty-four hours. Then it was
decided that Mr.. Edwards must be dead
in the woods and that II was useless to search
for him any longer, so the dogs were called
of and the search abandoned.
Afterward the sons offered a reward for
their father alive or dead.

Gurrin, $40.
Magistrate Cornell invited the three to
the bridge to see how automobile business
was handled in the night 90 urt.

one of the richest copper mines in the
country. The Ludwig mine has been
during the past year a regular shipper
Of ores averaging "a per cent copper,
produced in the course Of development
work. 1t is claimed that the ore in the
mine from the surface to the 600-foot

the present high price of copper, would
return approximately $50 per ton. 1t has
been estimated that by the 1000 feet Of
work done about $4,000 tons Of ore are
exposed in the mine.
The development work, so far, has
been confined to the lime belt in which
a depth of 600 feet has been reached
by vertical and incline shafts. BY
means OF about $500 feet of drifts,
raises and wines at the various levels
1t has been amply demonstrated that

FRAUD LOCATIONS
IN CALIFORNIA
NEW FORM OF AFFIDAVIT UN-
DER FEDERAL LAW
Perjury VIII Land Guilty Party in
Prison for Five Years at Hard
Labor, or Subject Him to
a Fine of $4,000

Persons who have located mineral
lands in California recently by home
stead entries or by other fraudulent
devices may have had experiences
when they appear at the local land
office to make affidavits. Where frauds
have become known to State Mineralo-
gist Aubury provision has been made to
have fraudulent affidavit makers ar
rested. The form of affidavit handed
out by the department Of the interior is
ironclad and leaves no room for misun-
derstanding. A part of such affidavit in
each instance is as follows:
''That he is well acquainted with the
character of said described land, and
with each and every legal subdivision
thereof, having frequently passed over
the same; that his personal knowledge
of said land is such as to enable him to
testify understandingly with regard
thereto; that there is not, to his knowl-
edge, within the limits thereof. any
vein or lode of quartz or other rock in
place, bearing gold, silver, cinnabar,
lead, tin or copper. or any deposit of
coal; that there is not within the linn
it's of said land, to his knowledge, any
placer, dement,, gravel, or other valua-
BILE mineral deposit; that the land con-
tains no salt spring or deposit of salt in
any form sufficient to render 1t chiefly
valuable therefor; that no portion Of
said land Is claimed for mining pur-
poses under. the local customs or rules
of miners or otherwise; that no portion
of said land is worked for miIieral dur
! ing any part of the year by any person
or persons; that said land is essen
TALLY non-mineral land and that his
| application therefor is not made for the
purpose of fraudulently obtaining title
J to the mineral land, but with the object
of securing said land for agricultural
purposes that the said land is not oc-
cupied and improved by any Indian"
The Penalty Section
What may happen to the person who
makes false affidavit is set forth in the
revised statutes of the United States in
chapter relating to crime, as fol-
! lows.
"section 5s92. Every person who
having taken an oath before a compe-
tent tribunal officer or person, In any
case in which a law OF the United States
