BALLOONISTS DROP
To The Earth.
Make a Most Remarkable Fall
ing Descent Into Arizona
Desert.

Gutenberg, Ariz.. Dec, 7.-Falling
5000 feet into an Arizona desert and
dragged a mile through cactus reach
ing above their shoulders while the
basket of their balloon plowed deep
furrow in the earth, Capt August E.
Miller and ]. X. Hutchinson reached
here In safety, after making what is
considered one Of the mots remarkable
landings in the history Of aeronautics.
When the balloon finally collapsed
on the plain they had travelled $50 mile
through the air in less than six hours,
which were crammed full of hair
breadth escapes and exciting expert
ences.
They alighted in the middle of an
alkali desert, cold and hungry and abb
solutely lost. Through the whole OF
Monday night and nearly all of Tuesda,
they wandered in the bottom lands Of
the Colorado river, completely exhaust
ed. 1t was late Tuesday when they
reached EhrenDerB.
The balloon had travelled along at
terrific speed at height of 10000 feet
the pendix rope broke, cold wind
force the Illuminating gas with which
the balloon was inflated out of the bag
and 1t began to drop with almost in
credible swiftness.
When 1t finally landed both men
were so cut and bruised as to be al
most unable 10 move. They were fore
ed to abandon the big silk balloon
on the desert.
The Indians who witnessed the rap
i'd descent were 50 frightened by the
sight that Wednesday they held weird
dances near here to drive away the
evil spirits"

tice Harlan's visit to Gov. Wilson.
and one Of them. An old lawyer said:
well. cir. suppose John Harlan
made more money for about five min
utes work than any lawyer ever
made In Kentucky IN the same length
Of time. It was many years ago
when he practiced law here In Frank
fort One of the chief officers OF a
big Eastern Life Insurance Company
was here to adjust a policy on the
life Of a man who had committed
suicide. The question as to whether
the company could be compelled to
pay a policy under the circumstances
was discussed at length and the con-
clusion finally reached that under
the laws as construed in this State
the company would have to pay, be-
cause the suicide clause in the policy
OF the company was defective. After
the discussion was all over, the Of
ficer Of the company said he wished
very much that some one could frame
suicide clause that would stand
the test of the courts so that the
company would not be imposed upon
by people vino took out life insurance
policies with the intention OF commit
ting suicide. John Harlan said he
thought be could write a clause in a
few minutes. The insurance man
told him to do It,
He took a pen and in about five
minutes drew up the clause and
handed it over for inspection. The
insurance man, who was a good law
yer himself, read it over carefully
and enthusiastically exclaimed That's
the very thing my company has want
ed for years"
He then asked Harlan what his fee
was for drawing the clause.
ooh, / guess about five thousand
dollars" laughingly replied Harlan,
not dreaming that he would be taken
in earnest. To his surprise the in
surance man quickly took out his
check book, wrote out a check for
five thousand and handed it to him
with the remark. That's cheap
enough for it will save my company
twenty times that much every year"
And that same suicide clause IS still
in all the policies of that company
which does millions of dollars of bus
mess every year."

Home Since His Brother Died
After Lingering
Illness

but hopeless, fight for life.
Now that the family circle is reduced
to but two people, Roy and his devoted
mother, the latter is seeking to fur
nish enough means to keep up the
home, so dear to Mrs. Painter, as it
was there her other boy died.
She and her son Ralph would sit
together at IL O'clock at night. before
he would retire, and read together. the
boy calling that his goodnight hour"
So the house has dear memories to
her.
Roy seeks to earn enough to keep
the place through what money he can
get for playing. All the Los Angeles
musical people who have heard him
say that his technique is wonderful
and his expression full of soul. And
the brave young fellow hopes next
summer to get enough by his music to
keep the home In the possession of his
mother.
Grateful to their friends who aided
them during the illness of the other
boy the Painters heroically face the
new problem of struggling for life alone
and intend to win in this grim battle
with fate.

TWO BASKETS MIXED
WITH MOST DISASTROUS
RESULTS TO PlCNICKERS
Party Holding "High WassaF at Park
Gets Portions of "Faithful
Hound Operated Upon
by Surgeon

One of those cases of misplaced
confidence" which occur now and then
happened to one of Los Angeles phy-
sicians. His name is given as Dr. d.
C. Jenkins, and he is also surgeon:
He likes to operate-has a Hanta ma LOT ioa
If. in fact-and when he gets chance
ia cut up an animal and study anatomy
it is his delight.
one dull day, when no patients had
dropped in at the office, he stepped TO
the door and was Immediately greeted
by a stray yellow cur. Dog wagged
its tail Doctor patted its head. more
tail-more wag-more pet Door closeu
with friendly yellow dog inside Chloro-
form bottle produced, and soothing
words of Good doggie, good doggle
pretty soon took the wag out OF tnat
tail most effectually. In fact, the own
er of the wagging tail had passed TO
the happy hunting grounds in snort
time.
The remains of the dog were placed
cn the operating table and the surgeon
enjoyed performing an operation. he
spent the afternoon in this procedure.
and finally when the evening shadows
were doing their little stunt, he found
his table Uttered with fragments OF dog
and bark. He hastily placed the scat
tered remains in a lunch basket.
Takes Dog Basket Home
He took the basket home. Next
morning, bright and early, he noticed
that it was high time that the basket
be removed. Things were getting to be
self evident, for it was in the gentle
summer time.
No time must be lost.
He felt like a murderer as he slipped
out of the house and boarded a San
f,a11 to ha
fare strap with picnickers going to
Eastlake park. 1t was much roomier
after the great throng had unloaded
themselves and their bundles of lunch
at the park, and left the doctor and his
basket in roomy comfort in the car
speeding to San Gabriel.
When he got off he thought the ride
had rested him, for the basket hefted
lighter than before.
Anyway, he went to the place where
he had intended opening his basket
taxing out the "dorg" and burying said
remains.
When he arrived at the secluded spot
and amid the whisper of the trees
stopped and undid the lid Of the bas-
ket, he almost swallowed his cigar.
Lunch Displaces "Dorg"
There before his eyes was the fattest.
juiciest, most mountaineering lunch he
had ever seen.
And as he sat down and regaled
himself on that lunch he wondered how
one party in the Eastlake park picnic
crowd was enjoying the various
chopped and mangled pieces of dog
which they had gotten by taking his
basket by mistake.
Truly" quoth the medical man.
"those two baskets were dead ringers
for each other; if ever there twins in
MickerWare. those Were the same"

TRIANGLE RESUMES WORK
ON ITS INCLINE SHAFT

GOLDFIELD, March 29.-Within a
comparatively short time Diamond
field should have another shipping
mine. The Triangle company has re-
sumed work in the incline shaft, which
is already down 167 feet on what is
known as the south vein of the Daisy.
The vein is three feet between walls
and practically all of the filling will
pa to mill. The sulphide zone has
beene reached and another hundred
feet should bring in shipping ore.
But the Triangle has a better
chance even than this to make a mine
The northeast-southwest vein of the
Daisy, which IS now yielding that
company an income of $1,000 a day at
a depth of 210 feet, is headed for the
shaft of the Tri@ngie and should be
encountered at no great depth by drift
ing, where it joins the south vein on
which the incline is sunk. Taken alto
gether, the Triangle has most excel
lent chance.

VENTURA MAN BONDS
DELLA GROUP AT YUMA

YUMA, March 29.-Two important
mining deals went through here Sat
urday.
l.. B. Hague, Ventura, Cal, bonded
tn Della group in Ellsworth district
from w. E. Beckam, WehdenvIlle, for
$4,000.
Colonel John w. Darlington pur-
chased a three-fourths interest in the
recent big silver strike made by
George Norton, five miles northeast of
Mohawk Summit. He bought from c.
M. Mathis, Fred H. Eatham and Bert
Latham.
Colonel Dorrington and 4.r. Morton
will work the property for all 1t is
worth. It's richness is proven and as
soon as they have any idea of It's
depth they will build a good dirt road
three miles from the mine to the
Southern Pacific line They are only
seven miles from The Gila river which
means any amount of wood and wa
ter.
only two cars of ore have been taken
from the property thus far and it
has yielded richly. Robert X. Humph-
rev and Charles Fay examined 1t and
said it promised to rival the Mollie
Gibson at Aspen, Colorado.
