DEATH VALLEY
A GARDEN

Think if you will of a long, low valley,
lying between two lofty ranges of bar
rem mountains-a white, glistening sink
for a miserable desert river-the whole
overlaid with a thick black pail of wind
and sand and ashes from the dead
craters that fringe it's borders, and you
have some idea of Death Valley in sum
mer.
Wash these mountains clean with
three months of almost continual cloud
burst and rain, rim in their feet and the
whole edge Of the valley with foot deep
grasses, lush and green as any that
ever floored Sierran cienega, sprinkle
the white waste with green lunches of
mesquite all aglow with myriad bios
SONS, arch over all an Adriatic sky,
cooled with the balmiest of breezes,
and you have pictured Death Valley at
the beginning of spring. On the face
Of the green earth lies no more terrible
bit of world in summer; no more beauti-
full one in spring.
And owe the graves of many-Piute
and desert tramp, teamster and lonely
prospector-who have lain down to rise
no more beneath it's heartless skies,
glows the most beautiful carpet of wild
flowers to be found in the bloom framed
land of California. Not half the plants
of Death Valley are known to scientists;
most of those that are known are little
more than names, and will never be
more until the prying arm of the rail
road shall have laid bare some of the
secrets of this Vale of Hinnom.

MINING NOTES
FROM FAIRYIEW

The operations in the tunnel Of the
Pyramid mine proceeds satisfactorily,
says the Fairview Minhr of Saturday
The face is now in about $50 feet. 1t
will be necessary to construct another
upraise for ventilation with 25 to 30
feet of further excavation. This week
about 3 feet of good looking quartz
came into the tunnel and thus far would
seem to retain its width and perma-
nency. Samples have been taken but
it is not known what the assay returns
show. The appearance of the rock
would seem to promise good values in
gold. The Pyramid looks in excellent
shape and promises to develop into a
big producer.
There is little new in the way of
developments of the past week on these
claims. Work is progressing satisfac-
torily on the crosscuts which have now
been driven in the neighborhood of 40
feet on either side of the shaft. Moth
ing of vein matter has yet made its
appearance. The contract calls for 200
feet of prosecuting in all, so that about
12O feet still remains before the present
contract is completed.
The Corinthian Mining company at
Chalk mountain have commenced work
on the shaft on the Portland claim.
The shaft is in a ledge 6 feet wide,
carrying deposits of lead c~arbonates
with silver and gold values, the aggre-
gate value being about $75 per ton,
This shaft was originally started by
Dutch Fred" who shipped several
tons of carbonates at a good profit. ].
H. Wilson, who is at present in charge
of operations at the mine, informs us
that the work of development of this
mine will continue without interruption.
This weeks work on the Taylor lease
has been a continuation of that of last
week. Having drifted a short distance
south, a crosscut vas started with a
view to prospecting the vein and, if
possible, reaching the ore shoot. The
men had not at the time of writing
reached the hanging wall. Roy Robin
son, who has had charge. of the opera
tons and is one of those interested in
the lease, left the camp this week for
his home at Montrose, Montana. He
had not been feeling well for the past
10 days, and a vacation spent in the
cooler climate of the northern State
should quickly set him up again.
The new shaft started last week on
this ground has already attained a
of over 80 feet. Quartz has been
encountered almost all the way down.
and an assay showed it to carry fair
values. This shaft will be put down to
a considerable depth, and a whim has
been secured and will be erected as
0 o as timber of the required dimen-
sions a be brought into camp. Tim
will be done all the way down
the shaft. At the 100-foot level it is
calculated to start crosscutting. Should
any good strike be made and conditions
50 warrant, a gasoline hoist may be
installed.
This tunnel has been driven in a
distance of 200 feet. The men are now
drifting north and south along the ledge
and have already gone about so feet
each way. Crosscutting has also been
inaugurated from the tunnel, one of
the crosscuts having been run a distance
of so feet to the vein. Energetic drift
ing will continue to be the main work
done from the tunnel with the object of
reaching the nav ore.
