THE START,

With my plans fully matured, l re.
turned to my companions who were
waiting for INC on the hill. ! told them
that tho trail ended here, aud that we
would have TO do the best We could.
But when said that We were going 10
cross the mountain In front OF Us, they
looked up at the rugged peaks that
lowered TO the sky, and seemed uneasy.
However, l had been among mountains
more than they, and they Baid II was
willing to undertake Il, they would StRnd

We began the ascent OF the mountain,
The brush grew thick aboutit | base, and
II was no easy matter 10 pick out our

al higher and higher, the underwood

forward some distance Ia advance 10
search out passageways between the
lhiCkets and among the rocks, The
timber became scarce, and the trees
were dvaried and crooked, showing
signs Of having been broken and bent In
the heavy shows Of winter.
The ascent was 80 steep and the aif 90
light that We could advance but slowly.
Often, too, II would require considerable
time to search out q pathway over dan.
gefots places.
Hour after hour we toiled slowly Up
the mountain. AT times the summit
seemed 10 hang over, with 10 misshapen
Ctags oiloOse rocks, ready totopple down
Upon is. The mountain showed traces
OF earthquakes, The rocks we're broken
aud bent, and some Of them seemed

A VALLEY.

Some idea OF searching out a path
leading there may be obtained from the
fact that no white man ever entered 1t
till 1868, when m Indian betrayed the
secret path to a white man, aud the
white man in his turn piloted a company
OF explorers there for fifty dollars. l
know this man well, and he told mo the
whole story. For nearly twenty years
the miners had known Of the valley,
having heard the Indians speak Of Il,
but they had never been able TO reach
1t. 1t was said that 1t belonged to IN
Indian chief, and that he had expressed
his purpose Of killing any white. man
who should ever enter there. But at
length it had become known, and OF
late years sheep are driven there In
summer by the Chinese, and miners
have searched tho whole valley for gold,
but never found any mines OF value,

faction that ! learned that the long.

ley was go near me-eVen II q rugged
mountain OF granite ten thousand feet
high was between II and me.
The Chinese tried TO direct me where
to find the pass through the mountain
leaning into the valley, but l could not
understand them, further than that the
pass was toward the east, and would lead
by a large rock. They gave II as theiI
opinion that ! could not find tho pass
Il miners and explorers had searched
Tor It twenty years In vain, how could
hope TO find it2 But, l had my mind
made up. ! did not intend to try tc
find the pass, but To cross directly oyel

Toll HOUSE,, CAL, August lO.-l dis
covered an old and indistinct trail lead
ing eastward from the meadow where
we had stopped at noon, and l returned
and wakened my sleeping companions,
We followed that path along a series Of
ridges aud small glades where the air
was cool and delightful, About two
o'clock we came to q large stream tiow'
ing toward the south, 1t had its source
among a group Of white peaks which we
could see In the north, The channel Of
the creek showed that great floods had
come down in past time, 1t was filled
with large round powders like cannon
balls. They were piled up in huge bars,
and were strewn in drifts along the
banks, The storms in these mountains
in winter are tremendous, Snow falls
deep and lies until late in the spring,
When the days become warm, the snow
from the sides Of the mountains loosens
and rushes down as ayalanches into the
Chasms and abysseS, where 1t Chokes up
the streams until the pentpp Hoods
sweep all before them as they rush along
the rocky Canons, Thus Is accounted
for theimmense volumes Of water which
these mountain torrents sometimes send
down.
When we reached this stream the
trail that we had been following disap-
peared. VIZ searched for some time be-
fore we found It, leading over another
ridge, still toward the east, We followed
it oil late In the afternoon, when, in u
meadow ahead Of us, we saw q band OF
sheen. ! went down, and found two
Cinnamon. From them | endeavored
to find out where We were and what was
ahead Of US,
Their replies were unsatisfactory.
They could not tell the name OF the
place where they were. In fact, they
said 1t had no name. When | asked
where the path which we had been FOL.
lowing would lead to, they said 1t would
lead no place, as we were Ut the end OF II,

A BIG UNDERTAKING..

Then they asked me where I was try.
ing 10 20 and when | told them 10 Mt.
Goddard, they laughed and said l might
us well try TO go TO the moon as to Mt.
Goddard by that route. In front Of 4ne
was a mountain ten thousand feet high
that must be crossed, and there was no
trail, and so far as the Cinnamon could
tell, no human being had ever crossed,
| could see the great domes and peaks
rising so high about me that TO look at
them almost made me giddy.headed. /
inquired as closely as | could concerning
the country, and ascettained that Just
beyond the summit OF the mountain was
the wonderful Short Hair Valley.
When | first came to California in
1883, | heard Of that valley, aud II was
described to Inc as one Of the wonders
OF the world. 1t was told me that there
was only one path by which 1t was pos.
sible 10 get into the valley, and that was
a gap in the wall Of ellis that surround.
edit on all sides. This gap was only a
few feet wide, and there was no other
way TO get in,
In tho spring OF 1888 l had made a de.
termined effort to reach this wonderful
valley; but / was baiIled from first to
last. Before l had gone.hal way up the
mountains, al that time, | was driven
back by snow.storms so terrific that l
could not wiLhstandthem. l was alone,
and became discouraged and gave 1t up.
Ever since that time 1 have had q desire
to return and try it again, So when the
Chinese told me that Just beyond the
mountain was Short Hair Valley, ! was
resolved to go there,
