RUSH INTO DEATH VALLEY.
The Hunt for Pots of Gold at the Foot
of the Rasnh0~

of the Rainbow.
The moral Of the old Persian prov
erb, "The cheapest thing in the king
dom is what men hold most DEAR" is
called to mind by the story which
comes from San Francisco of the daily
sacrifice of human lives in the mad
search for gold in the Death valley.
Past Funeral mountains, which stand
warder at the gate, men are struggling,
lured by the lust of lucre.
Men have strayed into Death valley
many time before, says the Des
Moines Register, but it was when they
were crazed with thirst and knew that
no torment Of the unknown could sur
pass the agony of the Anown. From
bleaching, sun-dried and vulture-
picked skeletons. 1t is the most bar
rem and forsaken place in North Amer
lea.
Death turks on every hand, but men
are giving up comfortable homes by
the hundreds, with chances a million to
one against them, and storming Flu
neral mountains in hope to struggle
into Death valley to despair because
gold has been found a little further
on. The tortures awaiting them have
been heralded widely, but cannot daunt
the adventurous spirit of the argo-
nauts.
AL Through Death valley, as well
as along the fringe Of both the Mojave
and the Colorado desert, the atmos-
phere is so devoid of moisture that ev-
erything is as dry as bone. The
new arrival finds that all supertiuous
fat and flesh appear to melt away from
him. He has to take up several holes
in his belt and he has to drink gal
Ions of water every day where he or
| dinarily drank several glasses.
In fact, the system Graves so much
water that when it cannot be procured
the mans strength fails rapidly, and
| to be without it, even in the shade,
| is sure death after a day or two. To
run out of water on the trail and to be
| forced to travel over the desert in
the fierce glare of the sun means in
III u lC" minutes anu oCtttl III
few hours.
Not even the seasoned resident can
resist this heat for long. The only re-
course Of the old resident who loses
his water supply in any way is to seek
shelter under mesquite bush and to
wait until the sun goes down. Then
he must hit the trail and reach a we'll
before sunrise, or unless he has Won
derful vitality his skeleton will be add.
ed to the large collection that lines all
the roads through Death valley.
The old Persian proverb has been
proved over and over again, but never
more conclusively than in this case.
The hunt for gold has always been the
hunt for death. The Western plains,
over which the argonauts of 1S49
struggled toward California and gold,
the silent places along the Chilkoot
pass, the great steppes of Siberia, the
/ great wastes of South Africa, wher-
ever gold has been found, men have
offered in bounteous measure that
which they hold most dear and YET
that which is cheapest in kingdom OF
republic.
Men by the thousands have left
riches at home to tempt fate and that
will-o'-the-wisp gold, and have added
their bones to the funeral pyres that
mark every such struggle. The Death
valley rush is only another in the long
list since men sought to find the pots
Of gold at the foot of the rainbow.

The manager of the Grand Transasi-

he felt himself superior to praises as

1t is ten minutes to 10 when we return
to the station, absolutely tired out; for
the walk has been a rough one, and al
most suffocating, for the heat is very
great.
My first care is to look after the van
with the millions. 1t is there, as usual,
behind the train, under the Chinese
guard.
The message expected by the gov
ernor has arrived--the order to forward
on the van to Pekin, where the treasure
Is to be handed over to the finance min

Where is Farusiiar? do not see
him. Has he given us the slip? No.
There he is on one of the platforms,
and the Mongols are back in the car.
Ephrinell has been off to do a round
Of calls-with his samples, no doubt
and Mrs. Ephrinell has also been out on
business, for deal in hair, probably.
Here they come, and, without seeming
to notice each other, they take their
seats.
The other passengers are only Celes-
tials. Some are going to Pekin; some
have taken their tickets for intermediate
stations like Si-Ngan, Ho-Nan, Lou
Ngan, Tai-Youan. There are a hundred
passengers in the train. All my numbers
are ON board. There is not one missing.

wolfe's inability to deceive the Athletics
was responsible for the loss of yester-
days game.
He couldn't have rung in a bum quar-
ter on a blind beggar, and the Athletics
took to him like women 10 q new

his curves were so nearly straight it
would have taken plumb line TO de-
tect them. And with these little fail
ings he was not wild. Had he been
rabid and passed or nit men i would
nave been better. but instead he got EN-

triously knocked 'em over the lot
Wolfe Was Easy.
In the first round William was tapped
twice and one run resulted. In the
second three singles. q sacrifice and
WaddelPs long fly produced Two runs
Wolfe was then chased to his den, and
Jacobsen went on the slab. This youth
was in a bad way IN two innings by
allowing hits to come in couples, but
no runs eventuated, therefore Wolfe
must be charged with the loss of the
game.
Rain interrupted the proceedings for
twenty minutes in the second inning. It
would have been Just as well from
Washington standpoint. if the whole
thing had been called off, but there was
no such luck.
Waddell a Mystery.
WaddelI was in the box and as much
IN evidence as ever. a measly bunt by
Jones in the first inning ana a teaseF to
third beaten hs d foot in the fifth were
all the Nationals could get until the
sixth session, when singles by Hill and
Stahl, and a double by Mullen brought
forth the credit mark which saved the
Nationals from run bankruptcy. After
that effort they did nothing.
Waddel1 is d nuisance. He and Cy
Young are apparently utterly beyond the
understanding Of the Washington toss
ers. Yesterday WaddelI made them hit
just where he pleased. and in the third
inning struck out the last man after
giving brace of free tickets. Fortune
