DEATH VALLEY SINK
TO BE PENETRATED

An attempt to solve the impene-
trable mystery of the center of Death
Valley by a new method is planned by
John C. Muller, of Los Angeles, soldier
of fortune, ~prospector, explorer and
mining engineer, says the Examiner.
Muller will forsake the lowly burro
and with a canvas canoe will float
down tbe sink Of the Mohava river be-
vond Soda lake in San Bernardino
~countv to the place where they disap-
near in Death Valley in an unkonwn
Crater $50 feet below the seal level.
To reach his goal Muller will have
to hide his time until the melting
SHOWS in the San Bernardino range fiji
the channel through the desert with
water to float his craft. He expects
the stream to rise sufficiently within a
week or ten days, and he plans to
start the moment conditions are fav-
orable.
The desert water channel can be en-
tered at Silver lake, in northern San
Bernardino county, but Muller wants
to make his enterprise complete by
starting from the headwaters of
Mohave river at Summit, in the San
Demanding range, 1000 feet above the
sea, and floating down desert dips
into the unexpected region far below
the level of the sea.
Beyond Silver lake the desert chan
mel is joined by the Amargosa river,
which turns the south base of the Fun
eral mountains and also disappears in
the Death valley sink. Reaching the
junction of the two water courses,
Muller exects a current that will carry
him rapidly into the mysterious region
which the United States geological
survey characterize as unknown
A trip from the summit to the sink
will cover a distance of about 450
miles, Muller thinks, and he believes
that he can make it in less than ten
days. He plans to spend a week in *
ploring the sink if everything is favor
able.
The northern fringe of the valley
was touched several years ago by a
~prospector named George Douglas
who, with a companion, took relays of
horses and attempted a fast run into
the valley. When the edge of the un-
known waste was reached the intoler
able heat and a sandstone drove the
explorers back. Such was the terror
aroused by the conditions he met that
when Douglas hat blew off he kept on
retreating without attempt to recov-
er it.
Muller himself has been within &c
miles of the sink with burros, but
found that the limit of safety. He
claims that his canoe method at this
season, when the heat is not excessive
and when sandstorms will not impede
progress, is practicable. He declares
that he has reached this CONCLUSION af
ter careful study.
The nearest inhabited point from
the sink is Death Valley Junction, sc
miles east. On the western side is
Ballarat, a mining town 50 miles dis
tant. Muller states that after explor
ing the sink he will walk to one OF
these points

NOTED INDIAN DIES FROM
DRINKING STRONG FIREWATER

Drinking copiously of liniments and
a concoction of alcohol and cocaine,
used by the Indians as a hair restorer,
proved the undoing of George Moses,
friend of the early white settlers in
eastern Washington and Oregon and
northern Idaho and foremost in the
councils of the Nez Perez tribe.
Moses, who a few days before had
proclaimed himself a Messiah, died a
raving maniac in his home on Tom
Beal creek, six miles from the Indian
agency at Lapwai, Idaho, on February
IL. He was roped and strapped to his
bed when the end came. Mrs. Moses,
who also had used the drugs, is VIC
lently insane and may not recover.
Funeral services over the dead
headsman were accompanied by the
ceremonials of the tribe. The sermon
was delivered by Rev. James Hayes, a
native pastor of the Indian church, in
the Indian Presbyterian church at
Joseph. The funeral was attended by
Indians from many parts of the north
west, also many white men and women.
Burial was made in the little cemetery
on the bank of the Clearwater river,
within a few feet of the grave of
Rev. Henry II. Spalding, pioneer mis-
sionary, who came west with DR.. Mar
Gus Whitman.
Several days before his death Moses,
while posing as "king of the kings
summoned the Indians to his throne
and pronounced judgment on each, de-
ereeing that some should be blessed
and Others consigned to purgatory.
Many of the Nez Perez Indians believe
that Moses was possessed of super
natural powers.
Moses was looked upon as second to
Chief Joseph, declared to be the ablest
man the Nez Perez tribe has produced.
He was identified with the Lapwai fac
ton. which refused to join Chief
Joseph in the hostilities against the
whites in 1878. when the reds led
General O. o. Howard such a lively
chase in the northwest.
