We are perfectly safe in saying that
this CLEARANCE SALE of j. G.
Pfeiffers pianos has broken all records
in piano selling in the city OF Washing
ton.
When the transfer took place, three
weeks ago, the stock consisted of ITO
pianos, and up TO Saturday night last s.
of these had been sold.
Were it possible fer our limited NUM-
Der Of salesmen TO have attended TO all
callers we have no doubt that every
one of these instruments would have
been gone by Saturday night last, but
verv many people have come during the
rust hours and have been unable to get
attention: to these we extend a courte-
Gus Invitation TO return and make Sc
lection out of what remains
There are only % pianos left TO go in
this sale. and among them are some Of
the very best, including Chlckering,
Steinway. Behning, Marshall & Wen
dell. Price & Teeple, and Kingsbury.
Then there are others of good medium
grade. so that no matter what your
taste may be, if you act promptly you
will still ind here the piano of your
choice and at a price that can never

SIX, LOST IN DEATH VALLEY,
CHEAT GRAVE INLAST MOMENT
Party of Mine Owners Suffer From Thirst and Starva-
ton in the Horrible California Desert-Com-
panonS Find Them Just in Time.>

GREENWATER, Cal. May Through
the daring of one Of the owners Of a
group of mining claims in the floor Of
Death valley, a few miles below this
camp, a party of prominent New York
and Nevada mining men came very near
suffering a horrible death in the lower
foothills of Funeral range. the most dis
NAL spot on the American continent.
The party would have persisted had
it not been for the timely arrival Of
ID. w. Dryer and A. NJ Cox. who had
expected the party, and when ii did
not come, had started to look for the
travellers.
In the party were J. c. Manlon. for
mer American consul to a South Afri-
can state; J. T. MitcAell. OF Goldield;
Max Miller. a son of former United
states Senator Warner Miller OF New
York; w. +. Mitchell a well-known
The Washington times., 1907-05-06

New York mining engineer; Col O. p
Posey. of Salt Lake; and Manager John
Searles, of the Daisy mine, at Goldheld.
The party was on the way 10 a mine
in the valley. and had as q guide a
part owner in the claim. who had never
been over the road before, but who
had been given general directions by
his partner. Under his guidance the
party soon lost its way, and the pack
animals fell from the rocky trail 10 de-
stTuction below. carrying with them all
of the water and other supplies.
BY travelling only a mile the party
dropped down in the bed of the valley,
a descent from Grcenwater of almost
3 900 feet Here the men wandered for
two days and nights without food or
water. through rocky defles and over
alkaI paths and mounds When Cox
and Dwyer found the tortured men,
their tongues were so swollen that they
could not close their mouths. Death
would have ended their sufferings in
few hours.

There was a general move of the

had not quite died away when the big
swinging doors from the street were

slight stOop, but keen eyed and alert.
He was carefully dressed in well fit
