after the fatal journey OF the emiRrant party
In 1850. It was not until about thirty years had
passed. that any substance OF commercial
value was found within the limits OF tho val
ley. and then 1t was a citizen OF tho country a
genuine whito Arab Of this great American
desert, who made tho discovery, and subse-
Quent discoveries In tho Furnace Creek canon
and tho Amargosa Valley were oil mado by
men OF the same class.
These citizens OF tho American desert are a
remarkable class OF frontersmen in more re-
epects than one. but in no respect more re-
markablo than in their choice OF homosite.
Bono OF them have been there from twenty to
thirty yoars-white men had been in Death
Valley before tho omlgrant party that gave 1t
its namo perish ID there. Where they came
from and why they went thoro are questions
not to DO answered. 1t is not polite in desert
societyto usE questions Of that kind. This
rule. ono may say. Is lie riaue'u. Society leaders
there have been known to resent an infraction
cf desert social usagos with Winchester. but
Iapprehend that some OF these men went
there during tho civil war in an effort to es-
cape the draft. some were deserters from the
army. somo went there because there were
6herin's with warrants in somo other places.
and sorne for the same reason that the old
sailor drank whiskey-bocause they liked 1t.

these reasons He certainly liked tho coun-

and how he did 1t is worth telling. Mr.. Aaron
Winters. It may be said. Is n highly respected

In no way can I so well describe tho class OF

Soon after tho building was finished troubles
began. After the panic OF 1887 the projected
endowment faded away. 1t was decided that
the best way to get money for the college en-
