Death Valleys Unique Road.

The wagons used to transport borax
from Death Valley, in southern California.
to the nearest railroad station are so huge
that a team of twenty mules Is required
to pull them across the stretch of l641a
miles. It should be remembered that they
have the capacity Of about half that Of a
regular freight car, the wheels being so
immense that the height Of the sturdy
men who drive these wagons does not
cover the diameter. These wagons pass
across roads so heavy that none OF these
twenty-mule teams can travel more than
only are the roads heavy, but there are
many obstacles along the way, which Is
across q mountain country where torrents
now and then come pouring down their
beds after one of the terrible cloudbursts
which have no equal anywhere else in the
world. Not only do these cloudbursts
precipitate these torrents, but they loosen
huge boulders. which roll from the noun
tain sides carrying sure destruction with
them. There are also many sharp, dan
gerous turns in the way, and when the
brakes of a wagon slip in passing around
them, drivers, mules and all the freight
are hurled to the bottom of the gulch be-
low.
Another obstacle in the way lies in
the fact that there are just
three springs along the route,
been overcome by a system Of wheeled
water tanks which in appearance are very
much like street sprinklers. These are
made to hold 500 gallons each. and are
drawn by immense teams from the springs
to the dry camps. These tanks are made
Of iron, because wooden tank would dry
out and fall to pieces when partly full,
fol in Death Valley the heat is SO intense
that wood warps in short time. In
view Of this fact special furniture is pre-
pared for use there.
Eight miles of the road in Death Valley
lie across a solid bed of salt. portion Of
the salt marsh which extends the entire
length Of the valley. In many places the
crust of this marsh is so thin that it will
not bear mans weight. Beneath it is
brine Of unknown depth, and so it was
the most hazardous undertaking which re-
suited in the building Of q road across this
bed. In sense this stretch Of eight miles
was level, for there were no hills or val
leys in it. Nevertheless. the bed in itself
had been so affected by the action of the
heat and moisture from below that every
now aud then there were jagged peaks.
pyramids and crisis cross ridges which re-
minded one of the broken pieces Of ice
which have been joined together while
floating in a wide stream. OF course this
uneven surface had to be rendered smooth.
and so to that end the workmen employed
sledge hammers, giving to the undertaking
a charac ter disSimilar to any other known.

Boy Shot at South Londonderry

Melvin Johnson. IS, for whom
fully 100 men and boys had been
searching, fearing that he had killed
himself as sequel to the death of
his younger brother, Clifford, ID,
by bullet wound Sunday, was
found at Manchester Monday, Id
miles from South Londonderry. He
claims that his brother was acci-
dentally shot. An inquiry into the
circumstances will be held.
The shooting occurred in the
room occupied by the brothers in
the Johnson home, two miles from
South Londonderry. Mrs. John
son called to her sons for them to
Join their father. Melvin answered.
"A mo ment later Mrs. johnson felt
the jar of a heavy object falling in
the chamber. Melvin came down
stairs and went out without uttering
Il word. Mrs. Johnson went up
stairs, and found Clifford on the
floor with bullet hole in the tenn
pie. lie died in few minutes.
Melvin meanwhile had disap.
peared.
The wound in Clifford Johnson
head indicates that it was made with
a revolver bullet, but no revolver
could be found. 1t was supposed
that Melvin Johnson. carried it away
with him. This fact aroused tears
for the boys safety, and in absence
of any known quarrel between the
brothers the parents were convinced
that the shooting must have beer
accidental and that Melvin in his
grief might have taken his own life
The alarm was sent out, and all day
Sunday and Sunday night the neigh
bors searched for the missing boy.
At the inquest held Monday i
was decided that the shooting wa
accidental.
