STORY IS TOLD BY
OLD DEATH VALLEY PROSPECIOR

Now and then a remarkable story
is printed in a magazine. In the Sep
TENDER number of the American
magazine, A. H. and c. Davis are
responsible for a remarkable contri-
bution-at least it will seem remark
able to the old-timers who have lived
within a ''stone's-throw" of Death
Valley since Hec was a pup. Here 1t
is:
There is not much of the old west
left in California-the west that de-
lighted a bygone generation of read
ers. To the present-day tourist the
country appears pretty much a land
of automobiles and chambers of COM
merce, of cafeterias and state hign-
ways, of agriculture, of the initiative
and referendum-even of woman SUI
frage. But there is still romance
left in places. At rare intervals there
appears some such figure from the
past as that of the little old man VINO
walked into Bakersfield, California,
in February of this year, bringing
with him $4,000, the result Of
years of lonely prospecting in Death
Valley.
Bakersfield-the town had its
woody days-is now a city of paved
streets and improvement clubs, and
boasts an open-air Greek theater.
Dodging autos and street cars the old
prospector, H. H. McVaughaen, herd
ed his string of four pack burros
through the main streets and along
to the Kern county courthouse.
Bakersfield was getting ready for an
election. McVaughaen left town i'll
1879, but he had never changed his
place of legal residence. He regis
tered, and then introduced himself
to the generation that was riding in
baby carriages when he set out on
his long hike to Death Valley. He
spent a pleasant day with new
friends (there weren't many old ones
left and was glad to see the news
paper boys. But when night came he
struck out for the open country. Two
miles beyond the city limits he camp
ed, and spent the night there with
his burros. That vas as near town
as he cared to try to sleep.
In 1879 McVaughaen was living
in Bakersfield. In hat year his
wife died, and that, he says, was
what made him a wanderer and sent
him into the silence of the desert.
Death Valley is one of the most
treacherous and lonely stretches of
country on the American continent.
1t was given that name after a party
consisting of several families moving
across country by wagon to Califor-
mia persisted there, a h~alf-century

Ants Build Skyscrapers.

West African anthills are veritable
giants, frequently standing 40 feet
high, says the Wide World. These
anthills are shaped something like a
sugar loaf and are divided inside into
hundreds of tiny rooms. They have,
needless to say. myriads Of inhabitants
and these are all busily occupied in
various ways, forming tunnels, making
roads, gathering food and watching
over the eggs and youngsters. The
natives are afraid to touch these hills,
except from a distance, with firearms.
The ants often make their strongholds
around trees, and they are built very
solidly, with sides sometimes 20 inches
thick. The inside is hollow, and at
the top there is sort Of attic. The
royal CELL" where the queen ant
lives, is always found on the ground
floor. This good lady Is a prisoner,
but 10 carefully fed by her busy sub
jects, the eggs she lays being immedi'
ately carried away and deposited in
rooms" set apart for the purpose.
