Waterbury evening Democrat., 1891-09-10

Other squads of the emigrant party wandered into waterless regions and one by one fell by the way and per ished. Some left their comrades in search of water and never returned. Indeed, except those of the party that pushed directly west to the Sierras, only three or four got out to the water less waste alive. These men all had stories to tell of great finds" of the precious metals when they got through to California One of the number named Bennett told of getting into little valley around which rose three tall peaks, and lying down to drink at a small creek saw it's bed paved with nuggets of gold. Another found @ small piece of white metal which he took to a shop in Los Angeles, asking that sight for his gun be made of it. The gunsmith pronounced the white metal pure silver and thus after the dis covery of silver in Nevada, was

north to south, and from two to six miles wide. The deepest part of this depression is about one hundred and twenty-five feet below sea level This spot is some twenty miles southeast of Furnace creek, which stream is at the north end of the valley. The ground worked by the Pacific Borax Company is seventy feet below the level of the sea- This is four miles west of the deepest part of the trough, which lies along the eastern side of the valley.
 The southwest branch or exten- sion of the valley, called Long valley, ends in a canyon after a course of about 12 miles. It appears to mark the course of stream entering Death valley from the Sink of the Mahave at times when there were overfows from that body of water. The indications are that a great inland sea (probably a northward extension of the gulf of California; at one time not only covered the Mo have Sink and Death valley but also a vast area of the surrounding country
 besides.
 At this place, where the emigrants
 who were wrecked in 1850 made their last camp, is a spring, but the water that flows from it is disagreeably aka line. Here prospectors in 1860 found the tracks of men, women and children, all as distinctly to be seen as though
 made the day before, though ten years
 had passed. So rainless is the climate that not enough moisture had fallen in
 all these years to obliterate the small
 tracks of an infant toddler. Almost in
 awe the prospectors gazed upon these footprints of persons most of whom had
 been dead for decade of years. The
 whole outlines of the camp were before
 them. There were the remains of the fires; the wrecked and | dilapidated wagons were where
 they had been left standing. Be l fore the wagons stretched the OK | chains, and across the chains lay the | weather-worn yokes, each in place and 1 showing the number of oxen that had been used to draw each wagon. All
 was as left by the emigrants when they 1 disbanded and scattered, each party or little group taking the course decided | upon by its leader. Packing such food l as there remained to them on the backs | of the oxeh, with some few articles of | prime necessity, the bewildered pill l grims to the land of gold struck out in various directions. On some of the oxen were mounted the little ones and the old and feeble, but the majority were l obliged to travel on foot. Those who
 finally got through were those of the 1 party that laid their course directly
 west. In travelling a distance of fifty five miles these came to Owens valley l and the eastern base of the Sierras, whence they toiled over the lofty range:
 no pass being found here tAEt is lower
 than 12, ,00O feet in height But before
 this last effort they had been able to re- fresh themselves amid the green l meadows of the valley.

CHAPTER IT.
FROM THE DEAD.

I know all now. Gerald Linden, with the. kindness and gentleness of brother. has told me.
 It is @ strange tale; and this but agrees with tho rest of what have recorded
 It began that year three years-the day when Madeline Oakley was laid to rest in the churohyard. Br. Murray Linden, Gerald's father, was just then engaged iD some most important and engrossing studies concerning the brain. The dOctol was a most clever man, and ardent stu dent-and at the time of which write be- lieved himself to be on the verge of a great discovery which would set the whole world on fire.
 Night and day he had worked to gain his end-but for want of proper material to work upon, the great end seemed likely to be lost
 q can't do without 1t must have 8 subject Why not as well as other meni If ask for help from my colleagues they will laugh at my theory. or go on and gain what I want for themselves, and claim the glory. No, I must work alone, and for once old Mat must do nae g service.
 Old Mat was an old man of no very good repute in the nefghborhood, whe lived with his granddaughter in 8 Httle hovel on the common. What he had done to deserve the not very high opinion which most folks seemed to have of him, it was hard to say, but 1t was whispered tn the village, aye, and even in the fishing hAmlet sorne miles off, that the dead trembled in their graves If old Mat passed through the cburchyard.
 Whatever might be the meaning of this strange superstition, my reader may per haps guess. Certain 1t was that the old mans company was not very much sought after, and whatever commission the doctor had for him to do he dfd not send word by messenger. but stroiled out unseen one night to the cottage on the common.
 The following morning the doctor re, ceived a letter from his only daughter, then In Italy, begging her father if he wished to see her alive. to come at once to her. Apart from his grief at this news the girl had been ailinR for long time, and had indeed been sent to the Italian watelin9-plRce from which she wrote to see if h would restore her health-the doctor seemed very uneasy in his mind about his business with Mat
 He paid Q second visit to the old man. after which he appeared more satisfied and with great haste made aA prepara- tions for his departure for Italy. About the journey thither there was no need fel delay, as in the bay not far from the doc tors home his yacht, "The Viking" laJ always at anchor. To sail by this would be to escape the delay, if he waited to @ by the ordinary steamer.

 "Unele Bob'' did not long pause to gaze upon the picture. He said that all at once the thought came into his head: ''What if she were to spring up and come at me with her umbrella!'
 That thought settled it and "Uncle Bob," gun in hand, turned and hed= actually ran as he finally acknowledged. Such was his fright that in some of the dusl<y ravines he thought he heard the mummy after him and was obliged to face about and make sure he was not followed. "If I hadn't done that" said Uncle Bob, lsshe'd have been on my back in rno1nent!'
 When 'Uncfe Bob'' reached camp ono of his partners, who had b<en out in another direction, reported having found the mummy of man. fhat flight they "heard voiees"-cries and wailings-in the deseEt. As "Uncle Bob'' expressed it: "Things was gettin' too hot for us, and we lit out O thar" !"

brought about the excitement in re- gard to what was called the "Gun-
 sight lode, in the Death valley region. The story that caused most excitement, however. was that of a man named Breyfogle, who asserted that he found a
 place near Death valley where he could dig nuggets of gold out of a kind of decomposed quartz or cement with his knife. He had more believers and followers than the others for the req son that he was able to show several
 Jumps of pure gold.
 Bennett was a firm believer in his l ''find'' and spent much time trying to rediscover his golden brool1let." It may be that while delirious from thirst some of these men imagined they saw

THE VALLEY OF DEATH.
Ghestly Relics Abound In It of
 Men Who Have Perished.

 Supernatural.
ICoPYRIGHr, 1S91.1

Many writers have described Death valley as being almost as fatal to all animal life as was the deadly vale fabled to surround the Upas tree in the island of Java, asserting that birds att tempting to fly over it drop dead. It appears to be the prevalent impression on the Atlantic side of the continent that the scientific expedition sent into Death valley by the government, under Dr. c. Hart Merriam, went into hitherto unexplored region. The fact is that white men have been over every foot of ground in that famous old desert sink. 1t is much the same as other dead lakes in the great basin region, except that in one part it lies below the level of the sea. Borax miners and pros pectors in search of borax deposits have explored every inch of ground in Death valley.
 The valley owes the name it bears to the circumstance of many members of a bewildered and exhausted emigrant party having lost their lives in that neighborhood in 1850 while trying to reach California by a new route from Salt lake. The place where the emil grant train suffered wreck is known as
 
 name because of early prospectors find ing the spot strewn with the remains of the wagons abandoned by the emil grants. Host Wagons" lies to the north of Death valley, from which 1t is separated by belt of barren hills sev- eral miles in width.
 Death valley is surrounded by re- zion of deserts more dangerous than it. self. It is a region of dead rivers and extinct lakes and inland seas.
 Death valley lies in Ingo county, Cal ifornia, just east of the main range of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The val ley proper has length of about forty miles and is from eight to twelve miles wide. Its direction is north and south. On the west side is the Panimint range of mountains, the eliminating point of which is Telescope peak; on the east side is the Amargoso range, the high est peaks of which have an altitude of about 6, 500 feet. From the summit of the Amargoso range to Telescope peak, on the main ridge of the Panimint noun tains, Is about thirty miles.
 That part of Death valley which sinks below the level of the sea is only about sixteen to eighteen miles long from
