This remarkable valley was discoy-
cred in 1850 by party of immigrants,
many of whom lost their lives in the
attempt to cross it. The name has
clung to It. also. as being the scene OF
numberless tragedies. Early In its
history traditions of gold and silver
deposits of wonderful richness within
its boundaries persuaded many adven-
turous persons to undertake the haz-
ardous experiment of its exploration.
The number who lave lost their lives
In this desolate field Is undoubtedly
great. Pursuing the mirage Of rich de-
posits of precious metals these adven-
turous prospectors succumbed at last
to the intolerable heat and the agonies
of thirst.
The range of the thermometer Is
probably greater in Death Valley than
elsewhere in the Western Hemisphere.
In y. inter the temperature is way be-
low zero, while in July and August
the thermometer ranges for weeks at
1877 degrees above, frequently rising
several degrees higher. For weeks at
n time the lowest level temperature OBJ
served exceeded 100 degrees. The
deadly heat burns every vestige of
vegetation. The Spanish bayonet, a
plant that flourishes under the most
arid conditions, here barely survives,

A party of enterprising agricultur-
lists once experimental with growing
fruit and vegetables in this region, an

marketing of their crops. The attempt
was complete failure, the inten:

The prevailing winds in Death Val

ating in the Pacific Ocean and satu-
rated with humidity in travelling the in

cepted by the lofty peaks of four
ranges of mountains, which absorb all
of their moisture, so that by The time
they reach the valley all humidity has
disappeared, and no living thing can
survive the intense heat. Even birds,
indigenous to the region, die.

extent, compared to all other fields,

the principal source of supply for the
future production of borax in the Uni
ted States.
The works employ from 400 to 1000
men. The crude borate of lime is first
passed through rock breakers and is
then ground to the fineness Of -four by
means of rolls and burr stones. 1t is
then, with small proportion of car
Donate of soda, thrown into a digester,
where under heat. pressure and agita-
ton the existing affinities are COM
pletely divorced. The carbonic acid
unites with the lime, which yields bo-
racic acid, the latter with a small por-
ton of soda and the result Is borax In
solution. The liquor Is then drawn off
into tanks. where the borax in crystal
lizing attaches itself to small steel
rods and hooks altogether like great
sticks of rock candy. The sediment

The filth and stencil were such as to

During the heated term an hour

is only palatable by means of large po-

hot countries, suspended in drafts and

The belief that the borax marshes
are the remains Of the vast lake when

traces of water-line found 6Oo feet
above, on the mountain sides.

A Very Successful Venture.

An abnormally generous woma :
went to Europe last summer, leaving
her horseS in entire charge Of her
coachman. The coachman, of prac-
tical turn of mind and with his mis-
tress's full consent, turned a pretty
penny by renting the teams out. Be-
fore long she had letter from him
would she object 10 his setting up a
hearse? There was great demand
for something of the sort, new and
smart, in the town, and he knew OF
such a nice hearse to be had at half
price; If she wouldn't mind his putting
her horses to it, his fortune would be
made. TIE abnormally generous wom-
an wrote back that she was perfectly
willing. A few weeks later she was
rewarded by a letter from the coach
man saying that the hearse, as run
by her horses was the greatest sue
cess; people are just dying to get
into it." he added.-New York Sun.

|Death Valley and

Death Valley is probably the most
unique natural feature In California.
1t is located In the southeast corner tf
Incyo County. and is inclosed by the
Panamint Mountains ON the west and
the Funeral Range on the east. 1t is
seventy-five miles long, and at its mar
rowest point but eight miles wide.
At one time, most probably, it was
the bed of an ancient river. The low
est depression Is 200 feet below sea-
level, but above this rises Telescope
Peak. 1000 feet high, Of the Pana-
mint Range. and dir 'ctely opposite the
Funeral Peak, which reaches an alti-

these peaks are covered with snow.

FOR MALARIA,

The Best Prescription Is Groves
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle
So That the People May Know just
What They Are Taking

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less" chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect You are
