AUTOS IN DEATH VALLEY.
Machine Does Duty Where Mules
Cannot Live.

The substitution OF automobiles for
mule power in the Death Valley OF
California. from whence comes borax,
is the latest field foT the power -driv-
en- machine. The utility OF the auto
mobile in new fields is continually ex-
panding. and following its use on the
city streets and in the great agricul-
tural districts of the west. where it is
used for ploughing. comes its adop-
ton for work on the desert OF Utah
and in the famous Death Valley
In the great borax districts OF the
deserts Of Utah the automobile has
been substituted for -n,:le power Men
and horses alike have perished there
from thirst. heat and deadly yellow
dust in which they were enveioped by
the wind storms. Yet those deserts
must be traversed. for salts. especially
borax. must be transported ro the
eastward. The mule was found to be
the only animal that could drag cars
OF ore across these western deserts.
and the mule team has been developed
to its greatest efficiency by one COM
pany. which operates many mule
teams through the Death Valley OF
California.
The desert is 176 miles long and
can be covered at the .atc Of only
eighteen miles day. even by one Of
the strongest teams. The way lies
through heavy white sand. which. in
the road is packed into deep ruts by
the 10000 pounds OF crude boraH haul
ed by each team.
Besides the ore they i1av@ 20 haul
food for the teansters. grain and hay
Tor the mules and tank with an am
pie water supply: ior there are
stretches OF sixty miles between wat
ering places. Even with these precau-
tons scores OF mules die annually.
and men are killed by the exposure
to the heat and blinded by the alkali
dust and the glare of the sun.
This snail-pace transportation could
not satisfy the mile-a-ninute ambition
Of the American business man. Now
there is building for the company a
three-motor engine and train which
will revolutionize transportation on
the desert. 1t is 275 horsepower
three-cylinder gasoline engine, opera
ting 100 kilowatt electric generator.
The engine weighs only Six tons. 1t
would have to weigh much more if
the seven or eight trailers OF the pro-
posed train offered dead weight. But
on the rear axle OF each wagon will
be a motor, to which power will be
transmitted through the train from
the engine.
One OF the most perplexing prob
lens was keeping the 1o5-gallon gaso-
lene tanks cool. This has been done
by an ingenious system of fans. This
was absolutely necessary, for in
Death Valley the mercury usually
stands at $50 degrees and often rises
to I4o degrees.
An air compressor in the engine
will operate air-brakes on each of the.
cars. Thus the whole train will be
controlled by the motorman in the
cab. 1t is also provided with power
full searchlight, which will enable the
train to run in the night as we'll as
day.
One of these trains will be as pow
erful as thirty teams OF mules. One
team of twenty mules can in twenty
four hours haul 90, 900 pounds of crude
borax only eighteen miles; an auto
mobile train in the same time will
haul 100 tons one hundred miles.

but it occurred to him that it would
De a good joke on his friend were he
to change bags, and while Eaton was
glancing over the latest news or an
other Kuroki victory over Kuropatkin
the bags were changed. A little later
Eaton, putting aside his paper, re-
marked that the Russians seemed as
easy fish for the Japanese as the fish
which had come so a~bundantly to his
hooks that day. Just let me open the
bag and show you what luck I've had"
said Eaton, swelling with the pride
that alone belongs to the fortunate
fisherman.
The wit eagerly engaged Eaton on
some foreign matter totally uncon-
nected with the subject of fish and
consequently the bag was not opened.
Arriving at the ferry the pair sepa-
arted with good wishes for future ex-
curSions.
Eaton never felt more anxious to
arrive at his destination rs on that
evening. When he did arrive he
called upon the whole household to be
witnesses to his good f~ortune, ana
throwing his bag on a table opened IL
and, to his horror, a quantity of fish
ing tackle, two large bottles, scattered
and superfluos sandwiches, a SLOUGH
hat and a pair of oveIalls.

Fishing is the quiet and eminently
respectable wing Of sports which eve
a Bishop can indulge without en-
dangering his dignity and ecclesiati-
cal standing and probably that Is the
reason why Louis III. Eaton, organist
at Trinity Church, makes coquetting
with the tittlebat and founder a sps-
cial n ever recurring pleasure.
Whenever M or=anist can find the
time he HES himself to Tiburon and.
accompanied by a veteran boatman,
lows toward Angel Island and casts
his lines well and temptingly baited.
For Eaton to return to San Fran
cisco without the sign of a fish would
be tantamount to dashing a blurring
blot on TIE family escutcheon.
A local wit. who is also a patient
fisherman met Eaton recently en-
route for San Francisco and In charge
of a bag weighted with the results
of a days sport.
