MINERS PERISH
IN DEATH VALLEY

Rhyolite. New. Sept. 13.-The bodies
of Emory Bodge and Tom Flanz. two
miners, who perished of thirst while
attempting TO cross Death Valley. were
found Saturday four miles west of
Skiddoo. Cal. by members of the
searching party securing the desert for
a brother of President Eldridge Of the
National Sewing Machine company,
who has been lost for three weeks.
The men whose bodies were found
left Rhyoite late, in August and start
ed across the floor of Death Valley,
where the thermometer reaches 130
degrees in the shade during the sum-
mer months They carried two can
teens of water each, but this supply
must have been exhausted before they
had gone half way. Crazed by thirst
they wandered about until they were
overcome by the heat and lay down to
die
Young Eldridee was attempting to
reach this place from his mining
claims in the Panamint range. He left
his companions three weeks ago. Men
from all the desert camps have
searched the desert The burro which
he took with him when he started
across the valley was found a few
days ago, but there was no other trace
of the man.
