DEATH VALLEY.

A gentleman connected with Gencr-
al Palmer's engineer corps Of theskan-
sas Pacific Railroad, writings from
Camp Cody OIL tho Mojavc river. gives
the following description Of this omln-
ously named much dreaded valley:
Eighty miles northwest Of this camp
Is the much dreaded death Valley"
Z is said to be lower / mn tho level OF
the sea, and wholly destitute Of water.
Mr.. Spears, BUR Intelligent guide, who
has visited this remarkable valley
several times, gave me the following
account OF It, with the reason for the
terrible name: The valley Is some
fifty miles long by thirty In breadth,
and save at two points it Is wholly ell
circled by mountains, up whose steep
sides 1t u impossible for any but ex-
pert climbers to ascend. II Is devoid
OF vegetables, and shadow Of bird or
bca,t mover darkeis its white, glazing
sand. In the early days trains Of en-
iyrants bound for California, passed.,
under tile direction of guides, to the
south OF Death Valley, by what Is
known rs the "old Mormon road" In
tho year 1850 a large train, with some
800 emigrants, mostly from Illinois
aud Missouri, came south from Salt
Lake, guided by u Mormon. When
near Death Valley a dissent broke
out In a part Of the train. and twenty
one families came to the conclusion
that tho Mormons knew nothing about
the country as they appointed one Of
their number a leader, and broke OF
from the main party. The leader de-
termined to turn due west so with
the people aud wagons and tlocks he
travelled for three days, and then de-
scended into the broad valley whose
treacherous mirage promised water.
They reached the centre, but only tho
white, glaring sand, bounded by the
scorched peaks, met their gaze OIL ev-
cry hand. Around the valley they
wandered, and one by n the men
died, and the painting fiockS stretched
themselves In death under the hot sun.
Then the children crying for water,
died at their mothers breasts, and with
swollen tongues and burning vitals the
mothers followed. Wagon after wagon
was abandoned, and strong men tot
tered, and raved and died. After a
weeks wandering, a dozen survivors
found some water In the hollow OF a
rock In tie mountains. 1t lasted but n
short time when all persisted but two,
who, through some miraculous means,
got out Of the valley and followed the
trail Of their former companions.
Eighty-seven persons, with hundreds
of animals, persisted in this fearful
place, and since then the name of
Death Valley has been applied to 1t.
Mr.. Spears says when he visited 1t last
Winter, after the lapse Of eighteen
years, he found tho wagons still CON-
plete, the iron works and tires bright,
and the shriveled skeletons lying In
many places side by side.

PlacHE MINING ITEMS.
from thu XIV Record. Nav 101

EASh sNN -y
During the past week or more, work
on many Of our prospecting mines has
been suspended, owing to the rainy and
d~isagreeable weather which has pre-
vailed during that time. The great
cause, however, may be traced to the
imposslbllity Of obtaining lumber to
build suitable houses owe the shafts, 80
that workmen may not be exposed to
the severity of the elements. Another
great cause of suspension Of work IN n
number of claims Is OIL account Of the
inability to procure material for crib
bling and timbering the shafts, many OF
them having attained such depths as to
render It positively unsafe for the mi
ners to work In them until they are
properly secured. Those locations
which are provided with these means
Of protection, however, are pushing
work ahead as rapidly ms possible, and
a general showing for the better Il evil
dent throughout the entire district.
This suspension, however, Ia only tenn
porary, and as oon rs the weather
settles, or lumber can DO procured,
work will be resumed and pushed as
usual. The bullion shipment for the
past week Inns fallen some little from
that of the last, a circumstance attrlbu-
table to the fact that several Of the
mills send up their bullion late oil Sum-
day evening, or else walt to ship by
Sundays stage from the mills, and re-
turns arc not received here from such
shipments until the day following.

ACCIDENTS ON RAILROADS.

The third annual report Of the Rail-
road Commissioners of Massachusetts,
recently issued. presents the following
statistics and differences OH the subject
Of railway casualties. A report OF
Captain Douglas Cation on RAILROAD
Accidents" made In 1882, states that
the returns of the "Messageries I'm.
periales," or stage coach companies Of
France, show that In q series OF years
the number Of passengers killed ana
injured from causes beyond t,Ielr own
control was one for every twenty-eight
thousand persons carried, while on
railways the number Of passengers
killed and Injured from causes beyond
their own control was. In Great Brit
ain. one In three hundred and thirty
four thousand; In Belgium, II In
sixteen hundred thousand ; In Prussia,
one In three millions; and In France,
one In four millions. These averages
are believed to be substantially cor
rect. In Massachusetts the casualties
are placed at one passenger killed for
each "a, 90I, 04S persons carried; one
passenger injured for each 81, 66S, 769
persons carried, and one passenger
killed or Injured for each 1,475,7 95 per-
sons carried.
1t may be mentioned that the ro-
strictions placed on travellers BY rail-
road In France and Germany conduce
greatly to the safety Of the passengers,
but similar regulations would not DO
submitted to either In Great Britain or
the United States, where the demands
for speed and comfort compel the COM
panles to run risks never taken by the
railroads on the continent Of Europe.
The Massachusetts Railroad Commits
~sioners, after o consultation with
prominent railroad officials, have, for
the better prevention of accidents, pre-
sented nine recommendations, the
most important Of which are as fol-
lows: The general adoption of brakes
operated from the locomotive, enabling
the engineer ut all times to control his
train !; the construction Of passenger
cars in such a manner as to prevent
"telescoping" IN case OF accident;
the adoption Of some approved stand
ard Of heating apparatus, and the dis
use Of any Illuminating substance 9TH
err than candles and fluid capable Of
Ignition at less than 300 deg. Fahren-
heit /; the substitution Of Fresnel Ian
torns In place Of the ordinary hind
lights; the appointment Of q signal
brakesman for each train, and tho
adoption of u uniform dress or cap for
all employees OH the trains.

For two or three days past 1t has

near to n focus, but yesterday the
clouds broke loose, and the storm set
In In earnest. About l o'clock r. NJ.

ed, Johnson defying him to shoot, at
the same time exclaiming that he was
not armed. Further ho3tilitles were
then brought to a close by the lnterfer-
ence Of outside parties, and johnson
was taken to the drug store Of Bishop
Brothers, where the wounds on his
head were dressed. Two hours later,
about 3 o'clock p. NJ. the parties sight
ed each other on Main street, Pltzer
being In front Of J. j. Halpin & Co.'S
hardware store, and johnson In front
OF the Philadelphia Brewery, near the
corner of Lacour street, about thirty
feet distant, and soon the work COM
menced, by both shooting. Six shots
were fired. Pitzer retreated behind
some goods Immediately IN front of the
store named, while johnson remained
stationary about tho center Of the Side
walk. Very Don after the firing com
menced, Sheriff Kane and some Of his
efficient deputies appeared on tho
scene. and the principals were arrest
ed. Alter the firing has ceased, 1t was
ascertained that an Innocent man, n
gentleman who was passing at the
time-H. A. Wickware--was shot
through tho right knee joint, and Col.
Johnson had received n slight wound
on the right leg, just above the ankle.
Pitzer was not Injured. Tho parties
were taken before Justice Knight and
admitted to bail In tho sum Of $500
each. to appear for examination OH
Monday next. In tie meantime, MIR.
wickwaro was taken to Bishop Broth
ers' drug store, and Drs. Deal and
Bishop extracted the ball from his
knee, 1t having passed nearly through
and lodged under the skin on the oppo-
site side. The opinion held by Drs.
Deal aud Bishop last evening was that
the leg would have to DO amputated
above the knee. although slight hopes
are entertained that It may DO saved.
We refrain, at tho solicitation Of the
Prosecuting Attorney, from giving any
further particulars until after the pre-
liminary examination, which was put
off to await the result Of tho wound
which Mr.. Wickware received.
LATER-10 p. M.-As we 70 to press,
we learn that Drs. Deal and Bishop
have just amputated Sir. Wickware's
leg above tile knee. a dispatch was
also received from Mr.. Wickwares
brother In San Francisco, telling DR..
Bishop to spare no expense IN endeaV-
| oriug to relieve the injured man.

this blow Is aimed at Hayward so as to
prevent him from going heavily into

movement. He had promised to sub
scribe five millions for this purpose,
and the parties we refer to propose to
place him where he cannot carry out
his intentions. All Of this may be true
or 1t may be u sensational story. but at
all events It Is told upon the street aud
extensively believed.

It Is a forgone conclusion by all par
ties that Grant will be renomlnated at
the Philadelphia Convention. and the
idea that any candidate can be possibly
trumpet up to beat him for the Presi-
dency, Is daily becoming more and
moro visionary. Greeley stock Is
growing weaker and weaker In the
political MARKET and even his best
friends show a disposition to sell short
on the gallant old cabbage herder.
Good square consistent Republicans,
have eve doubted that Grant
wo lid To ulanimou l. renomlnated
and triumphantly re- elected. From
m estimate made by o leading
Eastern paper, It Is shown that Of
twenty-five State delegations chosen
for the Philadelphia Convention. twen-
ty-two have been formally instructed
to cast their votes for Grant, and three
- from Connecticut, Missouri and
South Carolina - while not pledged,
favor the nomination. This, says the
Carson Register, gives Grant 4l2 Of the
III delegates, and. Of course, assures
his nomination. With this record 1t Is
idle to talk Of setting Grant aside at
Philadelphia. The delegates, instruc-
ted "a they are, dare not DO 1t. Grant
only could do It, and lie Is not tho man
to do It, a. at present advised.
