Death Valley, which has so
1hwarted man in his attempts to
obtain a foothold within its con
knes, was once the home of man
and boasted some degree of civ
alazation. This is made apparent
by the discoveries of prospectors,
Who recently penetrated an unex-

The st. Louis Republic.
In attempting to enter small
canyon at the northeastern ex-
1remity of the valley they found
their way blocked by wall of
masonry which extended entire
~ across the canyon, at a height
~ about 90 feet. The wall had
fFnmbled in places. and showed
signs of centuries of wear, but in
the main it stood as built.
The men clambered up the sides
of the canyon till they reached the
top of the massive wall, which
there has thickness of 80 feet.
1t is about three times as thick
at the base. 1t was evidently
bBiIt as a dam to catch the water,
which descended from the noun
1ains during the rainy season,
for investigation disclosed an an
fient canal leading out of the val
ley to the plain.
Along the sides of the canyon
above the level of the masonry
were shallow caves evidently hol-
lowed out by the hand of man.
Across the front of each of these
we're walls of adobe brick of rude
workmanship, indicating that the
lam was also a wall of defense,
for no enemy could scale the walls
af the canyon or the wall of ma
sonny in the face of even weak OPP
position.
In some of the cave homes were
found broken pottery and rude i'm
3slements hammered out of copper,
a vein of which the prospectors
found at the head of the canyon,
showing where the natives got
their supply.
