4 JAYHAWKERS LIVE.
Survivors of Death Valley Hold
Reunion in California.
Col. John Cotton Of Galesburg, ILL.,,
Tells How the Party Of Gold Seek
ers Ignored the Advice Of
Mormon Guides.

Salt Lake City, Utah.-Only four OF
the "Jayhawkers OF 49," large party
OF gold seekers whose sufferings on
the trail to California thrilled the
country in the days of the great gold
rush, are living today. These four
held a reunion in California the other
day, not far from the scene OF their
rescue when they staggered out or
Death Valley, mere shadows OF the
party that had entered that trackless
desert three months before.
Col. John B. Cotton. whose home is
In Galesburg H., but who has extern
sive property interests in the west,
and who always attends the reunions
OF the "Jayhawkers OF 49," gave some
interesting facts concerning this most
disastrous OF western pilgrimages the
other day
The members OF the party were
called Jayhawkers because so many
OF them were from Kansas. Colonel
Cotton and the Illinois delegation
started from Galesburg on the LIST Of
April, lS49, headed for the California
gold fields.
The party made the journey to
Omaha and westward along the main
highway of the gold seekers, the
Platte river. On reaching Salt Lake,
the Jawhawkers were warned against
taking the northern route to the
coast, as the news OF the terrible
fate NJ tho Doppor porty u,bicb hod
become lost in the deep SHOWS, and
some OF whose members had lived
upon the bodies of their companions,
was then the chief topic OF CONVEX
sation at all western posts.
On the advice of the celebrated
trapper, Jim Bridger, the party left
Salt Lake and travelled due south to
what was known as Little Salt Lake,
where other large parties were met
1t was decided to depart from the
travelled trail and strike due west to
the head of the San Joaquin river. in
stead OF going the roundabout way
via Los Angeles. This move was
made in the face of the protests OF
the Mormon guides.
A larger part Of the party agreed
to take the short cut. and 10 wagons
started westward from Little Salt
Lake. After few days of travel the
party came to a seemingly endless
gorge about 1000 feet deep. whose
walls were almost perpendicular.
From this point. the party entered
trackless waste. Few, IL any. |
