the drawbacks. Neveda was a new country
thea compared with to -day. Only a few
mines bud boon opened and little or no
machinery introduced. We were far from
any settlement, right in the Indian country
and if we had hal a thousand tone of ore
out of the ground it would have been
worthless. Our only show was to satisfy
ourselves that we had a good strike and
thea hung on till things came our way.
My partners were named McCabe and
'1'huieas. While 'Phonons and I stayed to
snake a rough survey and a rude chart and
eo further developing, eleC'abe started for
Austitt with the pact: mule to bring out a
supply of provisions. He left us about 8
o'clock in the morning. Up to that time
we had not seen an Indian, though know-
ing there were plenty in the valleys below
us. McCabe had been gone about two
hours when the paek mule came into camp
on the dead run, and we were hardly on
our feet before we caught sight of a dozen
Indians. Tho ravine ran north and south,
and we had our camp at the south end.
We'd been surprised and wiped out but
for the mule. As it was, Thomas opened
fire and held the crowd off while I got out
our stuff into the ravine, which was the
only place offering any shelter. In ten
minutes from the first alarm we were under
cover, but the outlook was anything but,
hopeful. Just where we had drifted into
the bank was an over hanging of rock,which
made the spot a safe shelter, and there we
brought up. The bottom of thoravine nar-
rowed there to the width of a waggon
track and was obstructed with pieces of
rock which had fallen from above. In fifteen
minutes we hada poet y good breastwork
each side of us, and then we waited to
see what move the enemy would
snake. We were quite sure they had killed
McCabe, and 1 may tell you here that such
was the ease. We had two single barrelled
rifles and two revolvers, with about fifty
rounds of ammunition apiece. We had
enough flour and pork to last us a week,
and we had the mule with us if driven to
extremity. We didn't feel like whooping,
lint we were not so badly dismayed at the
prospect.
l' haps you may have read of Corporal
Day. He was in the regular army and
stationed at Fort Bridger, in Wyoming.
For some dereliction of duty he was reduc-
ed to the ranks. lit revenge he attempted
the life of his Colonel, and then fled to the
Indians and became a renegade. He swore
never to spare a white captive, and on one
occasion he assisted in the torture of three
of his old comrades. He kept drifting
further West, and it was the corporal who
was "at the head of the gang which at-
tacked us. It was now five years since he
became a renegade, and stories of his
ferocity and cruelty had been circulated
alnong miners and prospectors all over Ne-
vada.
The first move made by the enemy was
to get possession of both ends of the ravine.
The next was to push Corporal Day for-
ward from the south end with a flag of
truce. As he dressed like an Indian and
was very dark complexioned, we did not
know it was a white man until he spoke.
He came forward to within twenty feet of
the south breastwork, and called out in a
cheerful way :
"Well, boys, there's no tenderfoot about
you! All ready for business, I see i I've
coma to have a little talk with you. You
are only two while we can bring up 500 men
if need be. It will be much more sensible in
you to surrender at once. No use trying to
hold out against such odds."
"And what if we surrender?" asked
Thomas.
"Well, they'll gobble your outfit and let
you go. 1'11 pledge you my word that no
harm shall come to either of you."
He spoke like an honest man, and yet as
he talked we recollected half a dozen
instances where he had induced surrender
in like manner and then solicited the
honor of binding the prisoners to the
stakes. After a brief consultation he was
informed that we proposed to fight it out.
We expected that he would bluster and
threaten, but be did' not. On the con-
trary, he said he was sorry for our deter-
mination, as he could not influence the
redskins in case any were killed or wound-
ed. He finally withdrew, saying he would
give us half au hour to make up our minds.
When he had gone we debated the question
afresh, and for a moment we were inclined
to trust him. Then we remembered the
story of his inducing nine prospectors and
hunters whom the Indians had corralled
near Beaver, U. T., to surrender, and
then stood by and applauded their torture
and death, and we resolved to snake a
fight for it. The base liar and hypocrite
made use of the half hour to push seven
or eight Indians into the ravine from
each end, so they [night be ready to charge
us. He did not come back for our answer,
but culled to us from the bank above.
Suspecting his game, we were as ready
as we could be when they charged us. Day
was still talking to us when there was a
yell and a rush. We had one shot apiece
with our rifles, and then our revolvers canto
into play.
There never was an Indian born who had
the sand to stand up to a fight unless he
had tho odds in his favor. We beat them
back by firing three or four shots apiece.
Thomas killed one and badly wounded an•
other. 1 wounded one so badly tit he
dropped his rifle in getting away. Under
cover of the smoke we got three rifles, and
Thomas overtook his wouuded warrior and
finished"ifim and stripped the pair of their
ammunition. We further strengthened the
breastworks on each side and then felt pre-
pared for any move they might make. It
was about twenty minutes before we heard
from Corporal Day again. Then he palled
out to praise tis for the fight we had made
and to renew his offer. Our refusal brought
hitt out in his true colors. He declared
that he had brought death to over forty
white people ; that he had only been trying
to dupe us; that he was sure of our cap-
ture; and that our torture should last a
whole day before death came to relieve us.
For half an hour after he ceased talking
everything was quiet.. What they were
planning to do was to put their main force
into the south end of the tunnel for a rush.
At the eame time they would put two or
three warriors into the north end, who
should advance by rolling rocks ahead of
them. In this way they would be covered
and hold the attention of ono of tis at the
same time.

rush, and presently- became half crazed with

o'clock in the morning, and it was not until
the next morning that we could venture
out. They had cut down and tumbled
whole trees into the ravine, and there was
a good deal of fire at the south end as we
left our cave.
The Indians had every reason to believe
that we had been cremated, and about ten
o'clock in the forenoon three or four of
them eaine in from the north to see what
they could discover. Thomas got in a shot
which wounded one of them before they
could get away. We could not guess what
they would do next, and it was not until
noon that they revealed their scheme. The
overhang to which I have referred was like
a hood over a door` and projected out about
six feet. It was a mass of rook and dirt,
with trees and bushes growing on the sur-
face, and was about forty feet long. For a
long time we heard queer sounds above us,
and finally concluded that they wero pre-
paring a blast which would tumble all the
overhang into the ravine. That was exactly
what they were at, and though we retired
into the drift again, we had but little hope.
There was enough soil and rock to fill the
ravine ten feet deep, and of course we
should be blocked in. There were crevices
in the overhang. Into some they drove
wedges and into others they put powder,
and at about one o'clock the whole mass
came tumbling into the ravine with a
mighty crash. In an instant all light
was shut out, and both of us felt that it
was good -by to the world. The rush of
air had blown out our candle and we sat
there in the awful darkness for a quarter
of an hour before either spoke. I had ex-
pected the fall to shut off the air, and find-
ing that it did not do so I relighted the
candle and crept to the opening. It was
not blocked by a rock, as I feared would
be the case, but by brush and dirt, and
there was enough air cotning in to flare the
light. There was eometlling hopeful in
that, and yet we were in a bad fix. Wo
had each slaked our thirst from the water
dripping down the rocks before entering
the drift, but there was none to be had
inside, Our provisions consisted only of
flour and raw pork, and we knew that we
had from eight to ten feet to go to get to
the surface of the debris. We had a pick
and shovel, but the drawbacks were so seri-
ous that it was hours before we set to work
in earnest.
Our drift was allele not much larger than
a flour barrel. While one worked at the
mouth of it the other had to pull back the
dirt. The Indians had dragged up a lot of
Logs and limbs and piled them on the over-
hang before blasting it off. Almost the first
thing we cameuponwasthe trunk of agreen
tree the size of a telegraph pole, • We had
to cut through it with our knives, and
the work was painfully slow. Thomas
bad a watch, and so we kept track of
the passage of time. We worked 'until 10
o'clock at night, and then went to sleep
without daring to eat a mouthful. The
dry flour or the salt pork 'would but have
added to our thirst which was already
parching our throats. At 7 o'clock next
morning we began work again. It was
high noon before be got through the log.
Then came rock and dirt and small limbs.
The rocks were fortunately small enough to
be rolled into the drift, and the other refuse
had to be stored there as well. We did
not suffer in the slightest for fresh sir, but
by night of the second day hunger and
thirst had used us up. We had simply
made a beginning toward escape. It was
all we could do to restrain ourselves from
eating the pork, and we had divided a
candle and begun nibbling at it when some.
thing happened to frighten and overjoy us
at the same time. Water appeared at the
bottom of the ravine, coming from the
north end. It was little better than liquid
mud, but it quenched our thirst. It
began to flow faster and faster, and
also to drip down from above, and pretty
soon we concluded that it was raining out-
side.
It had not only been rainiug all the after.
noon, as we subsequently ascertained, but
toward night there was something like a
cloudburst. Our ravine was a natural drain
from the high ground at the north to a bit
of valley at the south. It being obstruct-
ed, the water dammed back until it was
several feet deep over five acres of ground.
As soon as it began running along the bot-
tom we suspected what might happen, and
got into the drift and blocked up the drift
as well as possible. At about 9 o'clock in
the evening, after the dirt hall been loosen-
ed up, the earn gave way with a great
crash, and the waters poured through the
ravine like a millrace. It was deep enough
to flood into our drift until it was up to
out' ears, and for ten minutes we expected
to be drowned like rats in a hole. When
we could crawl out into the ravine we
found a foot of water running through it,
as it was still raining, but the rush had
cleared it of everything which had fallen
from above. Roelea weighing half a ton
had been rolled into the valley like pebbles.
We did not lea,ve our sbelter till morn-
ing, and then it was to find the Indians
gone. No doubt they felt sure that they
had put an end to 08, and but for the
cloudburst we should have left our bones
there. Wo got away to Austin, and offer-
ed our nine for a thousand dollars -five
hundred -one hundred. No one wanted it
at any price. Year's after, when redis-
covered and properly entered, sold first for
$15,000, then for $28,000, then for 50,000,
then for 125,000, and three months Inter an
offer of half a million was refused. We
saved our scalps, but tha wealth was left
for others.

Grounds for a Discharge.
The funny man's son was fooling with a
gun and it attraoted the attention of the
father.
"What's the matter with it 1" enquired
the f. m.
"It won't work," said the boy, making
another effort to shoot it.
'•Won't work 1" queried the father, seri-
ously, "then why don't you discharge it 7"
and just at that moment it went off with a
terrific boom. -Detroit Free Press.
