We bad ben prospect Ing for a month through
the Moaollon Jlonntolns In Arizona and had
met with the poorest luc imaginable Being
almost oat of provisions we decided return
to the ranch f6r we were folly convinced that
he precious met were entirely too scarce
In that locality to warrant ns In prospecting
farther The country over which we were
compelled t PU in order to reach the
ranch was of the roughest character abound
Ins in jagged cliffs CuSP bill and deep
ravines making travel both tedious and
laborious
It was owing to this fact that we decided to
take a different rout on our return to the one
we had come over Oar plan was to make a
raft large enough t contain ourselves our
pack burro and prospecting outfit and float
down the Rio Salinas till within a few miles ot
the raolds when we would land and complete
our Journey by the overland route This
would not only save us a fortymile tramp
across a very rough country but would place
us within thirty mils of home In a fresh con
dition besides saying ns about two days
There were three of us in the partyPaul
lanford Arraio and myself Arrajo a a
halfbreed rart Spanish and part Zuni Indian
and a perfect giant in strength Ho A not
over five feet six and was rather heavy In
build yet he wa as anlck ana as active as 1
panther I never knew his age though I
think I could not have ben over SO at tho
true of which I write
The plan of accomplishing part of our jour
ney upon a raft was flr t suggested by Arraio
nit It Was eagerly accepted by Paul Eanfonl
and me who saw not only I tbe advantage
such a planbut leit enthusiastic over tbe pros
pect of a journey down lbs picturesque SalInas
upon a raft This we felt partially would
compensate for the disappointment bad
sustained iu our fruitless trip t the his
By the aid of an axe Arraio soon had a sufll
lent number of pine logs cut These were
then rolled out Into the stream and fastened
securely tocether by means of stout withes of
hickory and mescjulte When everything a
readlneBsto begin our journey wo placid our
traps aooar Ito taft We found great dim
cully however In getting the burros aboard
Iud It nan ouly niter wo had blindfolded them
that we succeeded In doing 80 I I
Then by the means of 1 large oar which ho
bad fashioned out of a plao sapling Arrixjo
pushed the raft out from land and we floated
swiftly away on the boui of tbe stream
It was our purpose to float down the river
come forty miles which wn a far as no could
venture with our raft owing to the turbulent
rapids nud Usncvrouii falls below llio point
ulieio wo proposed to land
I was early lu tlie morning vrlion wo com
menced our journey nn1 I w e bad hopes of
reaching our Jimdlru point before sun > pt Wn
bad only travulled I few 110 when limo rher
narroucl nud grew mote raulil On oillior
bsnU now rose hick bluffs alt precliiltoim
cllfTs whose UuiUnned nnd naiiilsoorclieil I
summits threw a grateful ehade across the I I
stream affording tv mOlt welcome protection
from the fierce lass o the summer sun
Late In the afternoon we bad left the gloat
oaDons and bad reached n plot in the river
where the clllTn alone Ibo bnuts wore less I blah
and precipitous though It was plain to see
that the current of the rlverWM growing more
rapid with every mile that we travelled
The sun had gone down behind the towering
bills but upon thslr jagged summits still flu I
I Brsd the red sultry glare Upon the left
I 1 bank of the stream rote perpendicular cliffs I
hundred feet above the waterbut on the other
side the cliffs ran In a low chain along the
toward the latter that
waters edge and It was IItor
Arrajo ont his ors looking eagerly for a
place to land
Good landing place A little farther down
the river he said after scanning the bank for
somo time A few moments later be pointed
to ft gap tn the cliff on the right bank and ex
prensed his Intention of landing there Tho
place was still an eIghth of A mile below us
but lie commenced to steer tho boat toward
the shore
nut at that Instant he glanced toward the
cliff uttering nn exclamation a he did so
Los Apaches hocrloUnnd aulckly chang
ing his oar to the other side be began to guide
the raft back toward the middle ot tbo stream
Olanclog shoreward I saw a scar of plumed
and 1 painted asyageuemerging from clump
of bushes upon the bill and running toward
the liver I saw the gleam of weapons In
their hands and beard the shorn warning
voice of Annie commanding us to fall flit
upon the ralt I had barely time to grasp the
startled and terrified laW bv the shoulder and
force him down with me when the loud report
of firearms sounded on the cliff and a howe
of bullets cut the water about UI or buried
themselves in the logs of the raft
The frightened burros uttered snorts of
terror and would have leaped into tbe stream
had they not ben held fast by tho ratu I
teallzod In a moment that wo were In tb most I
deadly peril and uttering words of caution to
Paul who lay trembling nt my side I hastily I
effect between us
pulled some of our camp efocll btweon
and the foo
The first volley from the savages rifles was
almost Instantly followed by another and I
heard the bullets whiz within a few inches of
my bead At the RIO moment one ot the
burros went down a bullet In Its brain and
la still upon Ibo raft without uttering a
sound Bait dragging Paul with me I took
retnge behind the body of tho expiring animal
and lay there a prey to the most acute terror
Although we were well provided with arms
we made no effort to use them Glancing
toward Arrajo I was astonished to see the
brave bal breed still standing erect upon the
raft using tbo oar with all his strength to force
our craft further from the shore
I called loudly to him to abandon his danger
ous post and seek safety behind the dead burro
with Paul and me but hagava no heed to my
words nail worked with ifntlliulnlsbed vigor
I now discovered that the current of the
river wai ciowlng moro rapid every moment
and looking toward tho shorn I aw thar vo
were It leailue the Indians behind How
ever they hint anticipated this It teems mr I
saw thom hastily scramble UI tho rocUs lodge
to Ibo bill abo > o and come swiftly In purulr
But wo were now beyond gunshot of Ibm
and floating rapidly with the now wiltrun
u ng current we promised soon to outMrlo
them In the race and leave < them fnr behind
hut being fully aware that we could not land
on the oDuoMto side owing to the precipitous
chile that skirted the lolt bank of the stream
they Mill kept up tho pursuit I was soon
evident however that they would never bo
able tooertake nn and they doubtless real
ized this forafter following alone the bank of
IzO lolowlnl
the river for nearly two miles timer suddenly
stopped upon the summit of I blah clilT and
ulon
till rounded Dodd
stood looking alter us 11 we a Dedc
in tho stream mile below
I amlo
Tho presence of a blind Iioslllo Apaches In
that vicinity was a Croat surprise to Arraio ua
well as to Paul and myfeir There had neon
no outbreak among the Indians In Arizona for
moro than u yr and rnnclimon and pros
pector alone the Gila and Balinoa had been
permitted to ply Ihlr vocations In pence
As loon as we bad passed beyond the reach
of the pursuing savages laul and I rose from
our recumbent posltloim upon the raft
0 What shall wo do now Arrajo V I asked
But the bnlfbrced made no reply I raw him
glancing eagerly from one shoro to the other
an anxious and troubled look on his face
Suddenly bo pointed to the precipitous ollffs
that skirted the shores of the river and said
0 We base passed the last landlne place we
wo will soon DJ in the great rapids
Bio words sent I chill of fear to my heart
and In an Instant 1 realized Iho nwful peril of
our situation Walled In by perpendicular
cling with no chance of escape wo were being
swiftly drawn Into the treat rapids ot the
wlty rrBrn Iret
rlvvrl In escaping one clanger we had been
forced into another oven more terrible than
tbo first It Is Impossible for me to describe
the feeling IJ beliilebsness and despair that
came over me nt that moment
knew that It would be Impossible for us to
land walled in at we were wltb perpendicular

We were now running at I fearful rate of
speed and alrnady the water about was flecked
with foam The raft coon began to rock and
pitch violently as rat whirled swiftly along
on the now turbulent water Far lolow I
con Irt see masses of sharp and jniicol rocks

Thelastelenmof tne slnklneiun had now
died away on the suuimlts the hills and the
gray shadows of the twilight wore fast gather
lug over the strerim
in a few moments wo had entered the rook
plercail rapids and 1 all about UH the foam
capped waters wOe leaping and whirling with
a deafening roar
A sharp rock Boomed just ahead I
saw Arraio using tho oar with desperate
energy but we swept rapidly down uprn it
Tlioro was I crash a violent shock a wa
struck and the next Instant I was thrown lint
upon tho ralt and clung desperately to Ibo
timber eloio to the side of Paul and Arrnjo
The fut parted In tan as 1 great foaming
billow swept ocr I and for I moment I
thought Wu woro lost But swinging clear ot
tho rook we swept onward Arrnjo still strag

rocks that lay licforo lt
On hit part ot the raft which had broken

The BapllcikUoa or Many Arttele trim
OK Design and Model
Fortunes arc Invested In models and pattern
used In various branches of manufactures
The pattern room of any of the large iron
monldoi machine shops that bavo been long l
iti operation preoents an array of woodwork
that has cost A good deal of money Take for
Instance the Iron front of a building 1bo
various columns panels cornices ellls and
ornaments hare all boon made in wood which
Is used to mould the sand In which tbe ironic I
east Generally the cost of the pattern is I
paid for on the nut order Subsequent orders
for castings of the same pattern ale executed
moro cheaply because the patterns are ready
mule Sometime tho foundry owns the pat
tern and supplies duplicates to all customer
but In many cases owners of bnlldlne prefer
to own tbelr own patterns so that no other
building may look like theirs
The patterns for Iron work owned by the
firm of JJB Cornell which have been ao
cumulating for nearly halt a century would
nil a goodsized building and they Include a
very largo proportion of the iron fronts In the
city Recently whon It bcxuuno necessary to
add stories to tha Bennett Building nt Nassau
and Fulton streets tho old patterns were again
brought Into ns TIle coet ot an ordinary Iron
plain front 26x100 five stories high Is from
13000 to 5000 according to ornamentation
If the standard Doric Ionic Corinthian or
E tlan designs are used the price U cheaper
than where special design are used The most
expensive iron work pattern far buildings
are those which Include arches and elaborate
nameatatioB in panels and statuary and
when a building Is I to be extended It makes
considerable difference in the cost It elaborate
pattern have to be duplicated Bat for or
dinary plain front where the columns rail
ings capo dec are of common patterns the
oott ot the pattern la comparatively email 1
because they can bo used over and over again
and become part of the stock In trade
In some recent building an appearance ot
elaborate workbas been obtained by fastening
ornament on plain castings but the effect Is
not so good as In solid work One of the heav
iest lion fronts In this Is that of Tiffanysin
Union BQuaro One of the most Imposing iron
fronts Is that of the Park Avenue Hotel which
has some elaborate filigree work Ehrleha
dry good store in Sixth avenue Is an exam
ple of an iron front that wai put up with groat
rapidity If a very extensive building Is to be
erected tbe patterns may be distributed among
different foundries and the work hurried
The best pattern makers for iron buildings
tarn about S3 a day Borne of them are very
expert carvors end their work II i an approach
to high art
The preservation and duplication of patterns
le a feature and source of great profit In many
manufacturing operations It Is a character
istic of all kludi of printing The type founder
procures matrices of various font of type at
great cost but having once secured his mould
be can go on producing any number of dupli
cates at trifling cost The Ont cost of the
moulds Is the main cost compared with which
tbe cost of metal and casting Is I trifling The
same is true of all processes of printing pic
tures The wood engraving the lithographic
stone the steel plate all cost much at the out
set bul being once produced they may bo du
plicated by various processes at comparatively
trifling cost Thus a picture may be sold for a
profit at a penny although to produce the first
one may have cost thousands of dollars
The application of duplicating processes to
the building trade ban worked an Industrial
resolution It is true that one result is to pro
duce bulldlncs much alike The designs for
doors windows stairways stoops vestibule
towers locks bolts mantel slaeboaraa pier
glasses cornices and In faot nil part ot
a building ore used ovor and over again anti
the cost of bulldlnic therefore much cheap
ened The fact Is I that many parts of buildings
mat be purchased ready made and In any de
sired Quantities and bulldlacs constructed ot
each material are put up very cheaply But
when now designs are needed odd shares
fancy styles novel ornamentation the cost is
greatly increased
Before the war all the paper money In the 1
United States was printed by private com
panies who owned all the plates and patterns
Lyon l tho United States Government did not
own the platen from whloh Its notes were
printed and In one famous case the counter
tllor by subterfuge procured from these pri
vate parties for A nominally honeet purpose
the use of the devices used In printing a
Unltod State Treasury note and the devices
thus fraudulently obtained were actually used
to produce a spurious Treasury note whloh
was in many respects an exact duplicate
nf Ibo original That risk led to the
adoption of a new plan by which when
tbe Government got any notes printed
the contractors were compelled to sur
render all the designs patterns dies nnd
plates used to produce limo Issue so that they
could not by any possibility be used for any
but legitimate purposes Ultimately that led
to tbe establishment of the Bureau of En
graving and Printing and the Government
now controls all the patterns of Its paper
money In the same way tbat controls the
dies of Its metal coinage The expense of
steel engraving in so great that It la only by
duplicating and using the same design again
ana again that It Is mado profitable to use such
beautiful designs as are used In commercial
work as notes bonds bills ot exchange Ac
The pattern room of a great machine shop or
ocomotlvo works or engine builder contains
the accumulation of years of Improvement and
invention As n machine Is I developed and
changed tho patterns are altered and used
over and over again To produce the patterns
new every time a new machine la I wanted
would reaulie great expense A fire In A pal
torn shop In therefore a al eat calamity for It
destroys pattern that can hardly be replaced
At the late Ore In Hudson street the firm of
Woods Hughes lost diet and patterns that
bad i been In tbo shon for thirty years
it olten happens that one spoon or a fork of
lion old set Is lost or stolen If the silversmith
has preserved the die a new spoon or fork may
bo > mode at trifling cost But If a new die has
to be cut the expense Is very great
There are a thousand and one way ot usIng
the same pattern for duplication iu various
irancbotfot Industry The most beautiful prod
ucts of the sculptor art are duplicated in
plaster Tho modern parlor stove is a marvel
of the use of models casting
Lots of things are stamped All kinds of
brass and tinware pots pans kettle ash
cans waiters dishes Cud tbe thousand
articles of domestic use that are mode fiom
netals co through the stamping machine
The ory best talent is thorefoO used to pro
duce the original patterns Hometlmes artists
01 t very high repute who would bo very much
averse to have It known that tbev I do purely
commercial work are tempted to furnish de
igns or pictures for advertising purposes And
cooslonally they are so good that tnelr ex
ellaoee betrays the author
Healing patterns is one of the unpunished
crimes of the age When n grant firm of
AmerIcan jewellers showed at the Purls Expo
sition an entirely novel vet of jewelry tattoo to
imitate the rarest uucl roost exquisitely formed
anl > colored orchids the Frenchmen stole the

Whenever a Rood idea appears In any form of
