Bob Montgomery, with Mr.. Sher-
wood and Mr.. Metcalf, left with six
burros on a prospecting trip in the
foothills around Death valley. They
are all old hands at roughing it, but
they agree the famous valley is well
named. In making the trip from
Furnace Creek to Cottonwood a hot
wind came up, in which it was next
to impossible for them to get breath.
The animals began to give out, and
they were compelled to abandon
their packs and start on a hunt for
water. What little they had left
they mixed with vinegar and oat-
meal, but the intense heat soured the
oatmeal and made the mixture so
hot that it would actually burn them
when they wet their swollen tongues
with it.
None had ever been on the ground
before, and it was only due to the in
telligence of Montgomery's pet jack,
Sullivan, that they We're saved from
suffering, if not death. Dragging
along up the valley, they were pass
ing the mouth of a canyon, when
suddenly old Sullivan gave tire
mendous bray. Metcalf said, That's
water. boysr' and started up the
canyon. Sure enough, he gave q
yell Of joy. Water was found. IN

The Black Death in England.

In England the black death made
its first appearance in Dorsetshire,
and quickly spreading over the west
it reached London by way Of Oxford,
leaving death and desolation behind
it everywhere. It was as fatal in the
country as in the town. Whole vii
lagos were depopulated and small
towns almost wiped out of existence.
The dead lay unburied as they had
died, for priests had been swept
away with their focks, and in many
parishes there was no one left to eel
citrate mass, while every trade and
craft was suspended in the universal
terror and suspense.
To add to the horror of the times,
bands of marauders roamed about
unmolested, robbing alike the dead
and the living, and0dogs, deprived Of
their masters by death, came to-
gether in packs, made ferocious by
hunger, and secured the country like
so many bands of wolves. All the
Year Round.

Prices for otter skins.

The most valuable otter fur is that
of the darkest color. A rich, nearly
Jet black fur with long silver hairs
scattered through is the most priced
of all, and such pelts bring the hunt
er from $50 to $3.50. The clear black
comes next in value, and the brown
is the cheapest Of all and bring from
$75 to 800. These prices do not in
dictate the true value of the skins, for
the locality is a long distance from
the railways, and it is very difficult
and expensiveto get freight Of any
kind from this out Of the way beach.
"A skin that the hunter sells for $3.50
more than doubles in value by the
time it goes through several hands
and reaches a good market. Cor

Yesterday and the day before, May
4th and 9TH were mild, bright and bree-

but generally everything that could be
desired. 1t is fortunate, perhaps, that
all Spring days are not as luxurious

were it so, this world would become SO

A ROUNDABOUT COMPLAINT.

Texas seems to be still greatly per-
picked over the salt question, and the
proposition. heretofore referred to, to
have the railroads of the state discrimi-
nate in rates of freight in favor of the
product of that state as against Kansas
and Michigan salt is now before the
Texas railroad commission. As an illus
tration of the nature of the complaint
the Fort Worth Gazette states that Texas
salt is charged as cents per 100 pounds
for transportation to Purcell, l. T.. f; for
eign salt is hauled from New Orleans to
Wichita, Kan, through Texas, for 20
cents per 100. That certainly looks like
discrimination against Texas salt in the
matter of freight charges, but we fail to
see what it has to do with the rate on
Kansas salt to Texas points, Kansas
salt is certainly not shipped to Galveston
in order to get 20-cent rate to Wichita.
As TO the complaint alleged, referred TO
above, Kansas will join Texas i'll earnest
protest and in a demand for the abroga-
ton of such discriminating rates from
Galveston. But that has nothing to do
with rates from Kansas to Texas. 1t
don't work both ways in this instance.

there any mention of Coronado's acting
as the arbiter between the chiefs of two
warning tribes. or that Coronado made
any use of Intoxicating liquor during
the entire journey As it was nearly
two hundred years before another Span
lsh expedition visited the section in
which the correspondent of the EAGLE
locates Quivira, it is difficult to deter
mine who the later explorers Were
that obtained the mythical tradi-
tions concerning Coronado's habits,
preserved among the Indians and con-
tanned III the old records vAlich are so
familiar To your correspondent. IL
seems strange to me that students who
have made the study of Coronado's
Journey special topic, and have studied
1t at Madrid, where all the official letters,
Journals and other manuscripts concern
ing 1t are preserved, should never have
found the items concerning Coronado
now brought forward by the correspon-
dent OF the EAGLE, if they existed.
l have all the narratives of the journey
in every form that they have ever been
published, also copies of all the cores
pondence of an official nature which led
up to the expedition, and copies of the
narratives OF all subsequent Spanish ex-
petitions east of the Rocky mountains.

had never thought that Coronado once

Yesterdays dispatches stated that the
expenditures incurred by the govern
ment in preparations to enforce its de-
mands upon Chill would amount to
fully two million dollars, and that the
officers and operatives in the navy de-
partment, in which most of the eXpendi-
lures have been put forth, would pro-
coed to undo the work done, which i'm
plies that all the effort put forth in that
direction is so much lost. Who will sus-
tain that loss: the people of the United

Representative Oates of Alabama
seems to be in earnest about his bill
authorizing national banks to loan
money on real estate. He made a strong
argument in its favor before the house
committee on banking and currency,
taking the ground that it would largely
increase the volume of currency in Cir
culation, increase the value of real
estate and cause many people, particu-
larly III the south and west, to find
profitable employment who are now
without it. In some respects this
measure resembles the proposed govern
ment land loan scheme Of the Alliance:
but, inasmuch as it affords aid and en-
couragement to the national banks, it is
doubtful that the Alliance will accept it.
There is little probability of the Oates
bill becoming a law, but if it should,
that is about all the sop the Alliance
may expect.

OF all the ebullitions, pro and con,
brought out by the late Gillian incident.
the most contumacious was the reSolu-
ton introduced in congress by the silver
tongued, silver-haired, brass-checked
and copper mouthed Kentuckian,
w. p. c.. Breckenridge. BY
introducing his resolution indirectly
accusing the president of the
Uuited States of Juggling with the
CHILEAN incident for political effect he
has done an act not at all to his credit as
fair-minded statesman. Bluegrass
courtesy should have prevented him
from indulging in this extraordinary
display of bad taste and bad judgment.
Mr.. Harrison's message will stand the
test of fair criticism. Its championship
of national honor will outlast many gen
erations Of Americans.

What do our Democratic brethren, of
the Big Seventh, think by this time OF
the representative whom they elected to
congress on the Alliance platform? The
dispatches of this morning will prove
not wholly uninteresting reading to the
gentlemen who cast their ballots for
Jumping Jerry. Jerry seems TO be be-
tween his Satanic majesty and the angry
main. If he joins his brethren and goes
over to the Democratic majority of the
house, the Republican contingent of the
Alliance will consign him to the depths.
Upon the other hand if he holds to his
present platform and remains a little
party all to himself, the Democrats will
rend and roast him next fall.
