Without a moment’s hesitation, he
followed her, caught her hand, and
struggled desperately to save her.
Mrs. Cohen probably died in her bus-
band’s arms.
Before it was possible to bring effl
cient help an boor had passed. A ll this
time Cohen was making frantic a t­
tempts to reach the shore. But the
struggle against the current— at this
point it is shout 20 miles an hourr-was
beyond his power.
Fortune aided him, however. W ith
his w ife tightly clasped to him, he
bumked into a tree stump, and an this
he got a grip with his one free band.
There be stayed and shouted for help.
Finally word w as carried to the res­
ervation police, and Policeman James
Martin and three other men with ropes
hurried to the scene. Three times they
threw s rope before it fell within
Cohen’s grasp*. When he did catch it,
be was too weak to tie it about his own
or his w ife ’s waist.
The two were 20 feet away from
shore, and it was extremely difficult,
owing to the precarious nature o f the
footing, to make a good cast. Pinned
against the tree by the terrific rush of
water, all the strength had gone out of
Cohen, and he had been unable to keep
his w ife ’s face above water.
Once Cohen had hold o f the rope, the
men ashore began to poll.
Martin,
who was in front, slipped and fell into
the stream, but quickly regained his
footing. When within 15 feet o f the
shore, Cohen lost his grip on his w ife ’s
body, and it was carried down stream
and w as lost to view.

T rapper Stumbles Onto Remains o f
Prospectors In Tunnel
Portland— Two skeletons,
supposed
to be the remains of pioneer English
prospectors, were found last week in
an old mine tunnel situated in the Cas­
cade forest reserve, at a point about
60 miles from Boring and 60 miles
from the Sandy river. N ear the akel
etons were a shovel, pickax, frying
pan and two rock drills. The finding
o f the bones led to the discovery o f the
existence o f a rich vein o f gold and
silver ore.
The bones were located by Peter
Stone, a hunter and trapper, who acci
dentally stumbled into the old tunnel,
the entrance to which w as overgrown
by brush and small trees. The tunnel
has a 45-foot face and a crosscut ex­
tending back 60 feet.
Old settlers in the vicinity say that
the remains are probably those of
Englishmen who were prospecting in
that vicinity and who were last seen in
1858. That the remains have been in
the tunnel about 60 years was indicat­
ed by the presence of a tree 18 inches
thick directly over the entrance. There
was nothing to indicate the manner of
the deaths, whether violent or from
natural causes.
The old mine is close by a deep,
narrow valley and a waterfall, and has
been given the appropriate name of
"L o s t M in e ." Ralph Treau, an es­
sayist located in Portland, went to the
place, and returned with the report
that a vein rich in gold, silver, lead
and galena was tapped by the old tun
nel. The lode has a 10-foot face and
extends three miles. The ground has
been taken possession o f and w ill be
worked.

kets is now charged, but the high
prices are due to the disappointing re­
ceipts of hogs during the month o f
May, and thus far during the present
month.
