HOW DEATH \ VALLEY !
GOT ITS TITLE
Emigrants Became Exhausted
and Over Fifty People Per-
ished While Resting.

Much has been written about this val
ley and a strange amount of romance Is
attached to IT, The prospector could
easily find a moro promising field and a
less EXPENSIVE place to work a mine in,
1t is u long. narrow valley. very deep and
surrounded by high mountains. The Fan
ImInt and Sentinel peaks reach an ek-
trcme elevation OF 11.UN Feet Whle DSatn
valley hardly ten miles west, Is ap OF
200 feet below sea level. a similar dlt-
ference of elevation occurs eighty miles
northwest between the summit OF
Mount Whitney and owens Lake valley
What Composes the Valley.
Under one general namo there are three
connecting valleys Death valley proper.
Lost valley and Mesquite valley. The up
per end OF the latter Is only about lhirty
miles from Goldhcld. Instead OF being
the horrible region usually reported II is
tho best OF the desert valleys. Lying so
low and being shut In by surrounding
mountains, II is hot In summer out inc
winter climate leaves little to be desired
particularly by those who require a dry
atmosphere. II is but few miles 10 an
elevation in the Panimints. where In inc
shade of the pine the traveller can DC com
Portable and look into the sweltcr,ng val
ley below, while a battery OF abandoned
charcoal kilns might make him fancy he
was summerng near Lake Superior.
Loss of Emigrant Train.
The name Death valley comes from the
loss OF an emigrant train In the lower end
OF Lost valley. The party was on the
way from Salt Lake TO southern Calitor-
MIA and becoming exhausted, stopped to
rest in what appeared TO be a meadow.
The salt and why grass is not nutritious,
the water is saline and carries enough
sulphides to diSarrange promptly the hu-
man digestive system. The spot where
T. is said about fifty people perished has
been dug over for buried treasure and
last winter many OF the pits were In
bracklsh water. Some prospectors also
have lost their lives in the south end of
the valley.-Ncvada State Journal.

JANUARY'S NEW MILL,
Gold6eld People Anxious to See I'M
provement Made at Mine.

Goldncld is greatly interested In the
prospective new ten-Stamp mill which the
January people are about TO erect. II is
stated that the management Is weary OF
sorting and sacking ore. and have about
concluded that their ore can be more
profitably worked by mill OF their own.
on the property there Is sufficient ore
blocked out on the various levels to keep
a mill busy for two years, and this with
out taking Into consideration the orc
bodies that are yet to be encountered
on the lower levels
For some time past the company has
been shipping three carloads of ore per
week some OF which have run very high
in gold. For some weeks the January,
In addition, has been sending about Is
tons per day to mill at Columbia, which
averages $50 per ton net

quickly, No other is so sure a pre-

A great era of development work and

uninterrupted vigor In the Edgemont dis
trict. which is forty-nvc miles north or
Tuscarora. and situated on the western
slope Of Bull Run mountains. Attention
is being attracted to the new camps or

tho Edgemont region work has been
quietly continued for over twenty years
with very little said or known about the
country. Visitors from the Edgemont
have the highest words of praise for tho

trict.
Large Area of Ore Uncovered.
In the Edgemont is located the Lucky

which: In addition, owns the famous
Drumlummon property which has pro-
duced up to the present time over S22.5po.-

on for several years past. The manage

The executor of the estate OF the late
George Wedekind has been Instructed by

Kind mine TO Gov Sparks OF Nevada. by
receiving the two payments yet due
amounting to 5000. After the mine had
been worked out 1t was sold to Gov,
Sparks for $1,000. The Governor spent
about Sp.eO In development work. In

Black Sand Experiments,

Tin was produced commercially, though

were actively exploited during the year
1904. In accordance with a provision In
the appropriation for mineral resources
OF the United States for the fiscal year
l905-tSo5 q comprehensive investigation Is
IL progress (Novembcr. 1SO5) TO determine
what minerals OF economic value are con.
Ialned in the black sands found In the
placer mines OF the United States. An
invitation has been extended through the
mails to all the plOcer miners In the
United States to send samples or their
heavy concentrates for examination.
These have been tested as TO their con-
tents OF precious metals, and their min
cralogy mas been cxhaustlvely studied.
Where II became evident that these sands
contained useful minerals that are not
already utilized a competent gooloeist
was sent TO the deposit, and samples
varying In size from 100 pounds TO u car
load were obtained and examined with
concentrating machinery at Portland. or.
The results Of their investigation Will be
published In the forthcoming volume OF

OAKLAND OFFICIALS
DECLARE THAT TAXES
ARE NOT DELINQUENT

There has been much speculation
about the bay in regard to the pay
ment Of taxes. A precedent has been
established in Oakland. Both the tax
collectors of the city OF Oakland and
OF Alameda County have decided not
TO keep their offices open during. the
legal holidays, which will continue for
at least two weeks. Tax Collector
Barber of Alameda County takes this
position under the advice Of the Dis
trict Attorney, and will give the public
due notice in the public press when his
Office will be open. There will be 10
delinquency until the legal holidays are
over. The tax collector of Oakland
will pursue the same course.
This relieves the pressure which
might be put upon the banks for money
at time when coin is required to meet
necessities.
