It WAS given out that the shutdown was Indefinite a revival depending on an cdvaiK'o in the prlco of the pro ducts of the mines. Tlicro were fully 3,000 miners in the dis trict ut the time of the shutdown. The built of the number loft the cauutry , swarming Into Hutto and other Montana camps , u larso contingent forming the vnmiuard of the winter rush to Urccac , Cripple CICOK and otticr now camps in Colorado. When two- tbirds of the miners baU tnovou away the mint-owners evidently thought the tlmo was rlpo for a reduction ot wages. Accordingly , eaily in March they announced tuut tho'uiilln and mines would start up on the 1st of April , nnd that nil minors dcsirnm to woikfori : would be accouimo- dntod. The remnant of tbo Miners union dccidtd to resist the reduction , and both sides began preparations for the struggle , which has unfortunately culminated in bloodshed. 'J ho succeeding measures adopted by the JMino Owners nssoclation tend to provo that the nurposo in forcing a. light was not so much a reduction of wuqos as to destroy the Miners union. A Inrso number of minors \voro Imported mainly from the copper. Iron Dnd other mining sections of Lalio Superior.

BROAD TRAIL OF BLEACHING BONES l.ott lii n DosolntoVnsto of Snnd DeiUli l.urkfl Thrilling Description of the Tortures of Thirst The Itcunio , "Who goes Into the garden of bell plucks blindness and death. " This sounds like the text from a latter-day sensational sermon , says tbo Tucson ( A. T. ) correspondent of the San Francisco Exam iner. The sermon U prcaohcd by the bleach ing bones of men who have sought the gold that lies beyond the dreadful placo. No ono remembers who It was IIrat used tbo sen tence. Tno old Mexican prospectors who knew nnd hated the place got It from tholr fathers. The Jardln del Inhrno lies to tbo southward of this city and to tbo west , near Its southern boundary , Is a low. solitary Una of rocky hills , the outline of which against the sky Is that of a glint's prottlo. There are not many who have looked , and lived to tell it , on tbo face of the giant who has bean scowling back at the blitzing sun front * the beginning , but these who have to.Il weird stories of what happous tboro when the water is all gene from the cantcon and your brain Is on lire and your tongue cracks and bleeds. At the eastern end of tbo low range is a ravine , that makes the lips of tbo giant's fnco.Vbou the sun Is In the west it shows a turn of the canon hidden don before , that bonds toward the sunset. Then the face scorns to prlu a malignant grimuco of tboso features of rock and sand. The dojort stretches fromTucsonto Yuma , and to tbo southward God only knows how far. It is n gray wnsto ot sand , und Its few ragged mcsquito bushes and grotesque cacti is to vogotution only what n plcturo Is to a real landscape. They sav tnat even snakes mid lizards cannot live there. Maybe because - cause of the awful desolation nnd hideous dangers of iho country the story Is buliovod that somowhcrc beyond tbo desert tbora Is cold moro than would make a whole nation rich. It is n rnllc of the superstition of the limo when headless men and llro-broathlng dragons were thought to guard treasures that mon always bclievo cold is most plenti ful where thirst nnd doatb threaten ! T\vo .Muii ICctimuMl. A few dnys ago two men came back to Tuc son out of tha desert. They found no gold and Ihoy are gaunt und fever wasted , but thov came back alive nnd they nro thatiKful for that , J. A. Van Horn and Martin Waer , both of this city , are the men. They know what they were undertaking , for the/ have been on the desert before , but with ull their precautions and oxporiouco thoirbonos would have made another patch of white on the sand but for the Iron strength and endur ance of the younger man , Waer. About tbo middle of May Van Horn and Waer decided to take n trio down to Sonora lor tbo purpose ot obtaining a bond on u mine. They had beard of some neb mines iu ibo mountains near the line on the American side , and tboy decided that , after getting a bond on tbo mine in Sonora , tboy would con- tiuuo their journey to these mountains , tosoo for themselves whether or not tbo reports circulated were true. Tbey loft this city on May 22 nt 2 o'clock on Sunday morning , In a licut , wagon drawn by two peed horses. They had two kegs of water with them ton gallons for the horses und llvo for themselves. They carried an abundance of provisions , including a good supply of canned poods. They wont from Tucson to a mining camp known as Quijotoa , and from there they proceeded to Soiioita , a small village on Ibo Sonolta river , in Sonora , near the lino. They experienced no diffi culty in roachlng this point , nnd nftor re maining there over night they made their -vuy to a place called Quita Vocqulta , which Is situated on tbo line botwcon Arizona and Sonora. Then they wont into tbo wilderness to look for tbo gold. They had to cross El Tula , tbo approach to the Garden of Holl. They were nwaro that tboy had not water enough lo make the trip , but tboy had boon on the desert before and knew a water hole at the base of El Tula mountains. They would bo a few hours out of water , but that is nothing when gold lies beyond. Took Chuiiui ! * on Wilt or. So they drove ever El Tula , past the hun dreds of rocky mounds each showing where a gold seeker bad lain down to die of thirst and madness and on to wboro the unbunod skeletons dot the road.Vnon men got as far ns this they have no tlmo to bury others. But Van Horn nnd Waer had soon mounds and skeletons boforc , and it gave thorn no anxiety that their water Uegs went dry oven earlier than Ihoy oxpecled , and all day tboy traveled without water , and very thirsty they were before they reached the rising ground that hid the water holo. At lost tboy were thero. They broke through tbo thick clump of mosquito that marlied the only water for miles. They stood on the COiro nnd looked , Vun Horn nnd Waer side by side , and behind them the quivering , drooping horses , with their hot , inllamcd nostrils. At the bottom of tbo natural tank was n patch of caked , cracked yellow earth. Tbo water hole was dry. The men know of another water hole snven or eight miles further on around tha moun tain. It was sunset , but tborc was nothing to do but make the other tank. So they urged the wretched horses on. For two miles the wagon ground Its way through tbo sand. Slowly tboy wont , and moro slowly , and at last tbo horses stopped nnd would pull no moro. They unharnessed the horses and Waer wont on leading them , while Van Horn waited in the wagon until his compan ion should como back with tbo bonus re freshed and water for him. SoVaor loft him , nnd with bis canteen and the horses passed out of his sight. Van Horn crawled under tbo wagon to wait Iu ibo shade for bis return. Nlfht came and Wnor did not como ; an other day and another night and still bo did not return. At tbo end of two days ho decided - cidod that bis companion had perished aud tried to save himself. Both came out alive and both are hero. This is the story of his wanderings Wucr told your correspondent : On IVIIil Hunt for Moisture. 'I looked back as I passed around tbo point nnd saw Van Horn crawl under the wncon. That was the last I saw of him until but lot n.o toll you about it as it happened. "When I got near the tank I lied the horses to a bush. They were wild for water and I was afraid they would break from tnu and fouudor themselves and foul the water into mud. I mluht bavo spared my- folf tno trouble. Tbu wulcr hole was dry. These water holes uro not living springs , you know , but merely buslas that catch tbo water that drains from a bill and bold It. There was not much rain but winter and the evaporation had sucked from tbo ground tbo last drop of moisturo. "This was serious. I know these horses could not go another duy without water , und without the horses I would not allow myself to think boyoud that. "I got iho hones and struck off over the desert again. There was a llnoof mountains twenty-llvo miles away , and I ox nee toil to find water In seine of tbo canons. Tbo horses boKan to groan after a bit. 1 never heard us pitiful a sound before , nnd I hope It U the lust time I ever hnar It. "Then one of the horses held back. I tried to lead htm , but be dropped to bis knees and then lay ever on bis eldo. 1 was terrified , but I worked and got him up. A hundred yards further on the other borso lay down. So It wont. Tbun nlgbt came , but I did i.ot dare to stop. Tboro was no question of grit at ull , only I know that it wan either push on or Ho down and die. I r ouo hod tbo mountains before daybreak , but could And no water. When ibo nun came up I could not tnivol , for tbo heat rnudo ing o dluy that I could not walk. I lay under a buih all day. "God , botv I wanted water ; lust a spoon ful , a drop , bevorul times durlnf tbo day I tried lo travel , but I could not , for the desert and ibo sky whirled before mo , und down I'd go , About sundown blood began to como from tbo nostrils of ono of tbo horses , uud bo soon alod. Then the other ono wont the tame way , end I was alouo In the dosurU Huvtil hy the ( illit. "Fortunately , the lay of tbo land was fiinitllnr to me. 1 know tbo Gtla river was tint moro than forty miles from tno nnd ns I bad travelled nearly 'that far from Van Horn , I determined to.maxo the river. If I wont back to him without water I know it would bo nil up with ( roth of us. Ho might llvo until I got help. to ? awny I went ! my head wts light nnd things swam before mo , but t made peed progress. 1 removed every stitch of my elotblnc Nvlth the exception of my shoes , nnd started out. 1 did not stop ono moment , but kept right on. I did not think of Retting tired ! I was crazy for water. It was U o'clock when 1 reached tha river. I drank anil thanked God. It was the .sweetest water that over touched ray lips. ' "After drinking all I dared , though I felt ns If I could drink thorlvor drv , 1 put on my clothes , filled my canteen , and started for n ranch house a llttlo way up the rivor. It be longed to Mexican , I iiskcd him for the use of horses nnd a wagon to go for Van Horn , Ho toU mo that bis horsat were not tit for iho trip , that they would dlo before tboy bad gene half way , but that tbcro WAS a ranch nbout eight miles further on , and tbo man there might assist mo. "I ran as fust as I could , for I knew that every moment counted. The fellow would not do anything , but pointed out another ranch house nbout three miles up tbo road , und told mo that bo thought the Mexicans living there would help rao. I saw that this man , nfter hearing nbout Van Horn , was euro that bo was dead , but did not llko to toll mo go. Scorching for Vnu Horn. "When tboy heard my story at this last plnco , however , they at once hitched two mules to a wagon and also saddled tivo horses. Two of us rode tbo animals wbllo QUO drove iho mules attached to the wagon. It was the lifth dav ufter I loft Vun Horn. Wo started In tbo morning and reached the wagon at 1 o'clock. Oh , thi < luxury of that rldol It was hot and dusty , mid my horso's gnit was not the easiest in thu world , but tbo awful thirst was not tboro and I was not alone. As wo rode ever a patch I had traversed afoot the aav ba'oro it seemed impossible that I bad boon so long nnd suffered so much. "Van Horn was not tboro. On tbo wagon seat were two notes written bv Vun Horn. Ono was addressed to me. stating that ho had como to tbo conclusion that 1 hud por- ishcd and that ho bad docldod to try to reach the last place where wo had got wator. The other ono directed what should bo done with the wagon. Ono of the Mexicans stayed with the wagon. With the other I took up Vun Horn's trial. For twelve miles wo fol- lo\icd It without finding any trace but his footprints in tbo saiid. U was awful. Un less Vun Horn had reached water ho had boon without anything to drink for live dnys. I droadcd to look nhoad , last I should see him dead there. At last wo found his blan ket. Fifteen miles further on night over took us. Wo did not dura go on. for fear of losing tbo trail. Tbo moon arose in a coupla of hours and wo pushed on. Wo did not speak much ns wo went along. My mind was full of mv unfortunate partner , and the Mexicans respected my silence. "Wo were plodding along at 2 o'cloclt in the morning when" hoard a noise. It sounded like tbo report of a rifla away off. 111 red two shots from mv revolver , and tin answering shot cnrao back , and I hoard it bullet whistle over our heads. Alliu but Thoroughly Tlroil Out. "Wo found Van Horn lying in an arroyo alive , but thoroughly tired out , under a mos- qulio bush. When I reached him ho whis pered , 'Ob , God , I dld.not expect to see you alive ; I thought you were dead. ' Ho asked for water. I cave bun a little at a time. 1 built a flro nnd made him some coffeo. Ho ilrank no less than six cupfuls and n gallon and a half of walor. Ho then began to feel bottor. "Ho could not have lasted over six hours longer. His foot and bonds were full of cac tus thorns , and were cold , while bis bead was burnlncr hot. "Wo made him as comfortable as circum stances would permit aud then teen him baok to the Gila river , and later to Tucson. " Van Horn was not the first who sought the shelter of the mosquito brush that shaded tbo arroyo. Near where bo was found was a broken-down wagon with the skeletons of four borsos. In the shade of the brush wore four human skeletons. Van Horn's story was their story only no rescuer cama to them iu lime. It was buys before Van Horn could toll tbo story of tboso days ho waited for Waer. Today for the first time ho nar rated his experiences. Ho was eight days without wulor. IMclit Iiy Without Wutor. "I waited anxiously for Wner's return the first day , " said Van Horn. "At last night came and I was thoroughly alarmed. Whan daylight broke and ho bad not returned I made up my mind that ho had perished , but I decided to wait allttlo whllolongor forhim. I bad no water , but forlumttoly tboro was plenty of canned fruit in tbo wagon and I used that. At tbu end of two days I came to the conclusion that Waer was dead , and de cided to return to the last watering place wo bad left , I wrote two notes and loft , them on tbo seat of the wairon and then started out. I carried too many things along aud could uot travel fast. "Tho first day I made twelve miles. I traveled at nlpht , for the sun made mo dizzy. The next night I was bogmnlae to pot weak , and when I started I loft my blanket under a bush in order to lighten my burden. "That night was a terrible ono. My supply ' ply of canned'fruit gave out , and toward mornlnc I crawled no loss than four miles on my bands and knees , dragging my things along with mo. I was searching for a 'nig gor head , ' tbo loaf of the cactus plant. About daybreak I found ono. I shot several holes through it , and with the barrel of my rillo broke ibo loaf off. I cut pieces off with my knife und chewed them. I got my hand * full of thorns , but 1 did not mind that. Tboro was moisture in tbo fleshy leaf , aud it loomed to allay my tin rat. "During the day I remained near the nig- ecr head. Toward evening I dragged my self upright with the help of tbo mosquito bush und looked all around , hoping to see something living. My gaze was arrested by a line of low bills on tbo southern horizon. ( irlimril at by thu ( ilant. I was startled by their resomolanco to a man's tuco. It seemed to bo turned directly toward the sun. I was weak nnd dUzy , and I almost fainted when I saw tbo features change bcforo my oyoj. The corner of tbo month scorned to turn up and the oyns wrinkled. 1 know I was going mad. Mad ness comes before death on tbo desert , you know. I stared ut the hills. Tbo great face was distorted with a hideous grin. I thought n malignant giant was laughing at my suf fering ! . 1 know I was crazy and I hold on to tba mosquito bush lost I bbould run out on the desert shrieking and dash my brains out against a rock. The horror of it all drove the dizziness from my brain. Then In un Instant I saw that the grin was simply a ra- vlna in tbo bills , which the sun made promi nent , and the wrinkles about the nyas were caused by tbo same combination of light. "H was a relief to know I was sane. "Along about 2 o'clock In tbo morning I beard a peculiar noise , I roused jnysotf and listened. It sounded IJko o mule braying. I tired my rlllo , but board nothing moro. I fired again. Than I hoard n shot. Again Iflrod.aiid that tlmo tboro was another shot , nnd Wuor hallooed. I was not bO'fur ' gene that I could not recognize his voice. Iralsod myself on my elbows and tried to rooty , but I was too woak. 1 remember saying something , but what I don't know. In n littlo.bit Wuor was by my sido. If It bad not bocri for my gun I would not Ixi alivo. God blcsn that llttlo gun. " Van Horn Is qulto vmatc yet , but will bo about In a week or so.

J'lrst Word * of I'litliers of Triplet * . When Mr. Loch to wtis told the other day that ho was the happy fnthor of trlplota , roraurks the Now York Sun , ho Biild : "Grout Caiaiirl" Mr. Loohto IB n Marylander and llvos a llttlo wiiy out of Bultlmoro. Ho is u Iwrd.worklnj , ' mini , nnd In the matters of thought und apooch la conservative , as the foregoing quotation demonstrates. Some happy fathers on such an oraihion would have boon speechless ; others garrulous ; a few profane. Mr. Loohto was riono of thoso. His impromptu tribute to the event was adequate und no * , fulsome. It was defin ite without going Into unnecessary par ticulars , It expressed frankly his par donable surprise , but botrayoii no indi cation of his bolHIT rattled. Mr. Loohto doborvea congratulation upon his con duct In this emergency hardly less than Mrs. Lochto merits praise for her part' in It. AcknowtpilErmont should bo made nlso to the observant person to whom occurred the happy thought of noting nnd reporting the speech of Mr. Lochto as n valuable contribution to the lltora- turo of human emotions. And ths | brings us around to the main purpose of our remarks , which Is to suggest that nil persons who may bo so favored ns to witness the joy nnd listen to the responses of fathers upon being told that the result Is triplets , shall make n uoto of the happy father's words. Thus In time it would bo possible to compln the "First Words of Fathers of Triplets,1' somewhat after the compilation of the "Last Words of ISml- nont Mon , " That such n work would bo n valuable indication of the spontaneous processes of the human mind under stress of complex emotions is self-evi dent. In ono ether instance only , so far as our Information goes , have the first words of H liunpy father of triplets been preserved. In that instance they did not give evidence of the preservation ot mental poise which was the marked feature of Mr. Loclito's condition , but they Indicated rather an overpowering paternal solicitude. When told that it was triplets this father asked : "Did any of 'em " got awayV" AUuiyn ii lU'piibllciin. OMAHA , July 10. To the Hc.itor of Tun DIK : : Please stnto , If possible.
