TERRIBLE DEATH FOR MINER

News has reached this city relat-
ing the terrible suffering and death
of a prospector in Mono County. by
the name of J. d. Miller, who was
working in an lS-foot shaft on a
mine near the California-Nevada
line. He vas missed by parties at
Bridgeport and a search was insti-
tuted and the dead body was found.
The man had been caved on and
one leg had been broken. being
held in this position until death re-
lieved his sufferings.
The fast that the man was con-
scious and remained alive in the
shaft for V days is the terrible
feature that was connected with
the death. He left a series of notes,
being able to write, recounting his
sufferings for each day he was
alive in the shaft. The back of
an assay certificate was used for
the letter and he briefly told each
day of his condition and feelings
until on the seventh day death re-
Iieved him of his sufferings.-Car-

at the Norton ranch. Mr.. Norton
was not at home, when his mother
attempted to leave the place.
where she has been treated with
the best of rare for years.
The women were on the point
Of utter collapse, when they
stumbled upon the form of Mrs.
Meeks. She was bruised up consi-
derably by coming in contact with
sagebrush and from repeated falls
as she missed her footing.
Mrs Norton and her sister
missed the aged woman shortly
after she had disappeared, and
began the hunt at once. For a
time the search was wild. In the
minds of the two women lurked'the
idea that she might not be located,
for no trail could be found. After
an extended search a faint trail
was discovered through the brush.
Almost obliterated at times they
followed her tracks for Mrs. Meeks
persisted in walking over the sage
brush in order to deceive her
pursuers as to her intentions.
Little by little they traced the
course taken by the wandering
woman through a desolate region.
The trailing was slow and arduous
and the prospects Of success so
remote at times that the women
became discouraged but they
never gave up the quest.
While beating through a dense
clump of sagebrush they overlook
Mrs. Meeks. Although she object
ed to being taken back her efforts
proved unavailIng. After she had
been placed safely in her roomMrs.
Meeks made d second attempt to
get away but was prevented by the
timely arrival of her daughter-in-
law. She cucceeded in breaking
several window panes and figured
on using that as an avenue Of es.
cape when her work was %interfered
with. Mrs Meeks will be closely
watched by the Norton family who
are not anxious to have a repetition
of the escapade.-McGil Copper

LLRGE SODA CR0P

The soda company at Keller has
started to harvest its present
years soda crop. Fifty japanese
laborers arrived within a few
days. F. L. Young the manager is
busy experimenting tie harvest
ing of the crop. This years pro-
duction will exceed last years. II
is estimated that ten thousand
tons of crude soda will be taken
out of the watts and later co 1yerted
into soda ash. The production of
soda is a unique process. In the
early part of the year a large
pumping plant carries the soda
waters of Ovens lake through
pipes into large watts.
The heat action of the suns rays
ccndeEses the water so at The
finish there are deposits of crude
soda in the bottom of the watts.
This year the company has installed
a labor saving device. A gasoline
bucket hoist takes the soda from
the bottom of the rats and dumps
it on the cars, then il is piped up
to the yards OF the works.
The soda ash product is mainly
used for glass manufacturing
purposes and the entire output is
usually contracted for ahead of
time. The approximate value of
the soda crop this year is about

TAFT PREDICTS DEFEAT

A Chicago dispatch of the 3Oth
says that President Taft surprised
q large audience at the dinner of
the Hamilton club today by what
most of his hearers construed as
an admission o. the possibility of
republican defeat in the coming
national election.
He was speaking to what had
promised to he an cnth Isiastic
audience of republicans.

AGAIN IT COMES BACK

On the beach near Hussein Dey,
a suburb of Algiers, was recently
uncovered a Mexican vase mani
testify of Aztec manufacture.
In accounting for the sppea-
rance of that queer find. it is ex-
planned that on this beach in l54l
the fleet of Charles V was wrecked
by a frightful storm after the
emperor had failed to capture
Algiers. 1t is said that Cortez,
the conqueror of Mexico, was one
of the officers of the expedition
and his ship, containing many
treasures brought back from
Mexico. was destroyed. The
present discovery is only one of
many that have been rsde in a
corner of the bay of Algiers
That is possibly true. At the
same time it is Aztecs, a highly
cultivated and enlightened people;
that from the eastern shore of
that island expeditions sailed out
and found at last the Pillars of
Hercules, sailed between them,
and founded the civilization of
northern Africa. And one thing
that confirms tn Z supposItion is
that the hieIoglyphics on the
monuments are the same that are
found on the stones Of over thrown
monuments in Yucatan, and that
the same rules we're followed IN
placing the monuments exactly
north and south, and east and
west; that many of the Gu stoms of
the ancient Egyptians as we know
them, were precisely like those
that were the original customs of
the Aztecs. They may have landed
in Alglers, but they sailed on and
on until the mouth of the Nile was
reached and that river as il flowed
down through that matchless
valley and there built the nucleus
Of an empire on precisely the same
lines that their empire at home
Was built; that there in that
wilderness they set up a light.
which, shining on and on, enligh-
tened the surrounding countries and
was the original civilization in
northern Africa, in western Asia
and southern Europe.
1t is not impossible 20 believe
that, because it goes back to a
time to which no history and no
legends reach. The fact has to be
established by outside imperishable
monuments, and if in the course
of Nature the Isle Of Atlantus sunk
into the sea with all its civil
z%.tion, and there is found on the
shores Of North Am erica in a
ruined state precisely such monu-
ments rs are still preserved in
Egypt, with precisely the same
signs upon them, the natural
inference would be that those on
III side arc the older.
And there we are lost in specu-
lation, because it all gees,back to a
time so far in the distance that
between then and now n thousand
nations might h We started from
barbarism grown TO enli.hten-
ment, then, destroyed by their
own vices or by the wars uf neigh
bors, have passed away.
And still the interest remains,
and it would not be a matter of
surprise il one Of these DAYS
there should be found such a
record under the ruins of Central
America as would prove that civili-
cation first started there and by
the slow unwinding Of the ages,
finally spread over the world
