The Valley Of Death.

The Valley of Death, spot al
most as terrible as the Prophets
valley of dry bones, lies just notih
of the old Mormon road to Caiifor-
mia, in Utah-a region thirty miles
long BY thirty broad and surround
ed, except at two points, by mac
cessibie mountains. Ii is totally
devoid of water and vegetation, and
the shadow OF q bird or wild.beast
never darkened its white glarlng
sands. The Kansas Pacific railroad
engineers discovered it and some
papers which show the fate OF the
"lost Montgomery train" which
came south from Salt Lake in 1850,
guided by a Mormon. When near
Deaths Valley some came TO the
conclusion that the Mormons knew
nothing about the country. 80 they
appointed one of their number n
leader and broke of from their
party and turned due West. So
with the people and wagons and the
tiocks he travelled three days and
then descended into the broad valley
whose treacherous mirage promised
water. They reached the centre,
but only the white saEds, bounded
by scorching peaks met their gaze.
And around the valley they wander
ed. and one by one the men died
aud the painting hocks stretched
themselves in death under the sun.
The children cry ing for water, died
ut their mothers breasts, ami with
swollen Tongues and burning vitals
the mothers followed. Wagon after
wagon was abandoned, and strong
men tottered aud raved and died.
After weeks wandering dozen
safviv 0fs i0Rnd some water ia u
hollow of mountain. Ii lasted
hut Il short time when all persisted
but two, who escaped out of the val,
ley aud followed the trail of their
former companions Eighty.seycn
families, with hundreds OF animals,
persisted here. aud now after thirty.
one years the wagons stand com
plete, the iron works and tires are
bright, and the shriveled skeletons
lie side by side.
