due to the 1919 Trade Excursion and conventions

their way to the Colorado River basin
on a prospecting trip, one an elderly
man and young man. Each had an
outfit, one consisting of team of
burros and the other a horse and
wagon. Camped about 16 miles from

wind caught their tent and carried it
away.
After brief consultation, the men
decided to try to make Chloride,
They left the burros taking the horse
they started to "ride and tie". on
riding the horse distance, tying it
to await the other fellows arrival, and
hiking on to the place where the other
fellow would tie the horse for him.
This went on for time but late
the elder man was seen by the young
er of the two, to be becoming eX-
hausted and Sc he told him to take
the horse and ride to Chloride while
he would hike the rest of the dis
tance probably 8 to 10 miles. The
young fellow had strong heart but
it was cold day, the wind and the
snow combining to make it hard for
the traveller.
Had it not been for Al Jagerson
meeting him about six miles from
Chloride, when he was getting pretty
well done up, he probably would have
been overcome with the cold AS it
was, it was found that his ears and
nose had been frost bitten. Otherwise
he will be in good shape after rest.
