freight wagons are two men-the

His duty is to work the ponderous

DESERT TRANSFERS.
SLOWLY BUT SURELY ARE
PASSING AWAY.
The steel Track and Locomotive Usurp
Their PIace-A Rough Rider Tolls
why the Occupa tIon Ii One OF the
Most Dismal Ever Undertaken
Especial letter.

Desert teamsters-the white Arabs
OF the American Sahara, as some one
has aptly called them-are passing
away. The railroads. are driving them
back to civilization, to find other occu-
patton. Ten years ago there were
/ 200 teamsters on the deserts and IN
the arid mountains OF Arizona ana
southern California, with wagon trains
unlike anything else in the world, on
account OF their size and the stupen-
dous loads they carried.
The Atchison, Topeka e Santa re
company has done some very extensive
railroad building on the Colorado ana
Mojave deserts. To-day there are less
than fifty genuine desert teamsters lett
in southern California, and their num-
Der is diminishing every month. Most
OF the freight teamsters on the deserts
nowadays are Mexicans or half-breed
Indians. The average white man is
unified by temperament for sucn
hardships and depressing solitude.
There are some freight-teaming runs
that require seventeen days for the
round trip, and during the journey the
men with the teams spend three
fourths of the time remote from any
other human beings. 1t requires TWEEN
ty-one days to make the round trip
from Mojave to the Death valley borax
works in California. and it is seldom,
that a teamster sees even four or five
