ANOTHER UNKNOWN TERRITORY TO Be EXPLORED.
Important Results Expected.
From the San Francisco Bulletin

from the san FRANCISCO Buileun.J
There is q territory about the headwaters OF the
nOis, about which nothing Is known Of any practical
value. One or two persons have made the passage
through the great Colorado Canon and now and
then pioneer hunter or miner has looked from the
heights into It's fearful chasms. But we know little
or nothing OF the topography Of the country, what
inexhaustlble mines OF precious metals 1t may con-
tain, and, more important stlll what great table
lands and rich valleys it may have, adapted to agr
culture and to the maintenance OF dense population
We do not even know from authentic sources whe-
Their the Colorado Is nav1Rable above the Great
largest alluents. The Flax River is traced ION maps
for more than 200 miles through northeastern Art
IONA; but the country Though which 1t flows has
been shut out from civilization and even from
thorough exploration. We hear Of fierce savages, OF
floods ard droughts, OF semitrOpica verdure and Of
mineral deposits richer than have been developed
in any other part of the country. We shall
never know how much OF truth or how much
fiction there may be in these reports
til thorough exploration has been made
We have already stated that an exploring expedi-
tion under the military supervision OF Major General
Thomas will be sent to this country during the pre-
sent season, comprising engineers, geologsis
botansts and other scientific men, with all necessary
appliances for thorough survey OF the country
The White Pine pioneers on the north and the South
Pacific Railroad surveyors on the south might be
able to tell us something about this unknown coun-
try within the next year or twO But more important
results may be expected from the abor5 Of this mill
tary and scientific expedition. If rich mines and
fertile lands should be found will not be long be-
fore the current OF population Will set towards the
upper waters OF the Colorado The construction of
the Southern Pacific Railroad will have much to do
In Fastening the settlement OF that country.

papers, which were supposed to exist solely In the

papers would, In itself, have been anything but

the worst part OF the business was that
the existence OF such collection, had 1t
become generally known, would have been
highly desirable and too evident proof OF the
secret power ana high connections which the OBJ.

Hail . Million Dollars Found in q
Trunk.

The following particulars of the death
of the singular Jersey City miser, the
fact of which has been already anuoun.
ced, will be read with interst We find
the account in the New York Times of
Saturday:
On Wednesday evening last, Lyman
Allyn, an aged boardcr at Taylor's Hotel,
in Jersey City, was found dead sitting in
his chair in his room Ills death was
duly reported on the following morning,
but there were circumstances developed
yesterday which surrounded his life and
death with peculiar interest. His broth.
er, Thomas Allyn, of Groton, Conn, in
company with sister, the only relatives
of the deceased, arrived yesterday, and
with the permission of Coroner Burns,
took charge of the corpse. They exam
ined also the two dilapidated trunks that
stood in the corner of their brothers
bedroom, and in one of them were found
stocks and bonds, deeds aud securities of
various descriptions representing 9 for
tune of Goo, 900.
His life during tho last ive years had
been most remarkable. He was man
of over seventy, and so infrm that he
consumed half an hour or more in COM
ing down frcm his room to the dining
room. Yet he lived upon the highest
floor to save money, and was never known
when upon the street to use horse car,
saying that they had the eject to make
people lazy, and he would not patssniEe
them. He came from his room to his
meals but once day, eating the very
smallest quantity of the cheapest food.
He sought no society, and would permit
no person to enter his room but the cham.
bermaid, and she but once a week
While arranging his room he invariably
watched her closely
To an observer the room contained
very little that was worth watching
Two old trunks, scanty wardrobe, made
up of cheap rcady-male coats, two hats,
one white the oher black, and both thirty
years old, patched shoes and boots, a copy
of Webster's Dictionary. Bible and a
medical book, were all that the room con
tanned, and its situation and interior des-
solateneSs made it a dreary abode. The
old man had lived hele along for nearly
six years, declining all the while to see
any visitors, for he said, they came only
because they thought he had money that
they were mistaken, for he was very poor,
and had great difficulty in paying his
board bill.

A Race for Life.

Sunday afternoon the Fort Wayne Rail-
road Company sent construction train
up the road, preparatory to the com
mencement of work on Monday morning,
IS is the usual custom. The engineer,
anxious to make his Sunday work asshor,
as possible, rushed the train out of the
depot and around the cure to the bridge
at the top of her speed. Upon arriving
at the bridge, however, he saw that which
caused him to reverse the engine and ap-
ply the brakes with all his force A man
with his wife and two children we're on
the narrow portion of the bridge. where
il Is only just wide enough for train to
pass, about midway of Its length of six
hundred feet. Neither end could be
reached by the imperiIed family before
the train would rush upon them; but the
father and husband was equal to the
emergency. Catching up the ehildreB
in his arms, lie told his wife that he would
see to them. and bade her run toward the
end Of the bridge, until the train should
reach her, and then jump into the water
She must run for her life, as her safety
depended upon her getting near enough
to the shore to find shallow water, before
being oYertaken By the train. She did
as he directed. aud when she felt the hot
breath OF the iron monster she jumped
from the bridge, fortunately alighting in
noe more than two feet Of water and
weeds. and the train passed her in safety.
But what of the father and little ones
He could not run with them; AID while

safety, he was bound to find some escape

arms he coolly and steadily, in the face
Of the approaching train, lowered himself
with them TO brace beneath the bed
timbers, and there held them fast within
= few feet Of the water, while the train
came laundering over them. About the
time the engine reached the centre of the
bridge the exertions Of the engineers and
brakemen effected the stoppage Of the
train, and their assistance was rendered
to extricate the frightened family from
their yet perilous position, aud they went
on their way thankful for their deliver
