HOW ROBT. COOK LOST
HIS LIFE
Kamloops Paper Gives Details
of How Gallant Youth Met
His Untimely End

Adolp Cook returned Monday from
Kamloops, B. c., where he went to
assist in the search for the body of
his son Robert, who in a brave at
tempt to save the life of logger,
was drowned in the Thompson river
near that city. The body has not
been recovered. The Inland Sentinel,
I a paper published at Kamloops, gives
the following particulars of the death
of this gallant young man:
"A sad fatality occurred yesterday
at Heffiey Rifle, some IA miles up the
North Thompson river, the victim,
Robert Cook. losing his life as the
result of his own galIantry in en-
deayoring TO assist fellow creature
in danger.
at appears that four men were
bringing raft of telephone poles
for use at Kamloops down the river,
Mr.. Reddick of Mosquito Flat being
in charge of the transport. At Me-
ridian Bend, one of the most danger
Gus points in the whole course of the
North Thompson, the raft struck a
submerged bar of sand upon which
it stuck, and the four men were
hurled into the water. Three Of them
scrambled ashore chilled TO the bone
by the icy torrent and utterly ex-
hausted by their efforts. The fourth
man was thrown back upon the bar,
over which the water was rushing
with considerable violence, and on
either side of which were deep rap
ids. His position was precarious, for
the raft was rapidly breaking up un-
der the force of the rushing stream
and swift current of the glacial wa
ters trying his endurance TO the ut
termost. At this juncture the hero
Of the sad day appeared on the scene
in the person of Robert Cook, young
man of about 20 years of age, en-
ployed by the B. C. Fruitlands Com
pany. Recognizing the peril of the
man on the bar, Cook, who was rid
ing, spurred his horse into the flood
hoping that the animal would safely
swim the intervening channel, and
that the rider might then render aid.
The next thing seen was an exhaust I
ed horse washed upon the bar, ap-
parently IfeIess. Cook was lost.
after remaining in his position Of
danger for some hours, the man on
the bar, now hopeless of timely as
sistance, made strenuous effort,
which happily accomplished his de-
livery. By loosening some of the
and pushing the spars to-
wards the shore, he was able after a
.oilsome struggle to gain the bank

or sometime he lay spent and ex-
lausted by his prolonged exposure.
Later the horse revived and after

made its way to the stable.

CASH BOY COMPANY
DRIVES TO VALUES
Shaft at Depth Nearing Body
of Ore and Early Re-
suits Logical.

The increase IN the market value OF
the Cash Boy issue on tho San Francisco
Stock exchange Saturday was due TO en-
couraging property conditions. and Presi-
dent a. S. Ross OF Salt Lake received a
message from the camp explaining con-
ditions. The shaft is down about $50
feet and for tho past forty to fifty feet
the work has been through a mlneralized
Gaping, which. universally In the Tono-
pah district, Is the index TO ore, and the
shaft for the past ton feet has been go
ing through tho vein without the foot
wall hoving in sight, tho bottom Of the
shaft assaying 1916 per ton In silver and
gold.
This Is undoubtedly the best nows that
has ever boen sent out from the Tono-
pah camp about the Cash Boy. and that
there is likely to be some interest shown
preciated readily, as the vein and ore
sought are the continuation OF the famous
Tonopah Merger system. Mr.. Ross was
feeling decidedly pleased yesterday over
these conditions. and there Is reason to
feel that the shaft, even should Il not
drop directly into the midst OF an ore
body, will be found not far distant from
ore. so that results are expected at a
very early date.
Mr. Ross and associates recently ao-
quired the greater part OF the Cash Boy
stock and since this deal was consum-
mated he has pushed the work in the
half feet daily OF depth Is being gained.
The coming week holds a great deal Of
interesting matter about this proposi-
ton.
