remarked a gentleman recently to a HER-

“He is by direct descent,” continued the
speaker, “an heir to the vast Townley es-
tate, which, for many years, it is reported,

numerous other persons in our city, who
move in higher circles of. life, who are
also descendants of this Townley family,
and Who, if the estate ever comes to this
country, will have but little trouble to
prove their right 3of inhcritage.”
“There is a story going the rounds of the
press to-day which reads very much like a
romance and entirely'ne‘w to the descend-
ants of the family in this part of the
country. Heirs are springing into exist-

DEATH VALLEY.

 

A Terrible Place Where Every Living Thing
; than Venture: into it Is Almost Sure
to Die.

 

, The great Sierra Nevada range that di.
sides California from the State of Nevada is
shattergd towards the south, in Metro, Inyo
and San Bernardino counties, into short
and diverggnhafnges between which are
”furious valleys and levels of desert unlike
any other conformation on the Continent.
Southern Nevada is of much the same gen-
eral character, a. waste and worthless land,
except for minerals and occasional cases,
unless artesian wells sometime reclaim the
soil that only requires water to make it very
productive, in most places at least. A vast
areait is, marked on maps as a silver, borax
~ “and nitrate belt, and much of its surface is
unfit even for pasturage. It contains many
mining—camps, however, and is gradually
coming into notice ,and being pierced by
railroads. It contains within its limits one
of the least explored districts of the United
States—the famous Death Valley, which,
with its rocky and barren environments ex-
tends over a portion of San Bernardino and
Inyo counties, chiefly the latter, and lies
wholly within «therlimits of California. Since
1850, a great deal has been said and written v
abbut this modern Inferno Valley, and its
marvels, but the peculiar horrors of the
place are not easily described.

 

According to Furnace‘Creek observations 9

3 ~. the winter. climate of Deathizvalley 5;; not so
~ ~ba§7~but~the amnesia-r-
ingly dry and hot that 5‘ men have died
' when water was in abundance, but they
could not drink it fast enough to supply the
drain caused by the desiccative power oi
the furnace-like air." A short walk causes
great thirst. Something in the atmosphere,
even inwinter, makes the eyes very painful
and weak. Numbers of persons state that
birds who attempt to fly over the valley drop-
dead with the heat and exertion. There is
no vegetation except sage-brush, and but
little of that. Near the few creeks and
springs in the adjacent hills are stunted
willows and mesquit bushes. Every after-
noon a burning wind, fierce as a simoon,
blows across the valley and whirls the coarse
hot grains of sand, and even large pebbles,
with lacerating force against those who ven-
ture to face it. At Furnace Creek the heat
was 120 degrees in the shade in July, and
workmen often slept in wetted blankets in
their hopeless endeavors to keep cool. Nc
one has ever been able to report upon the
heat in the heart of the valley, at the focus
of its lowest point. It is only a few years
since the bodies of two men, who had had
water and food in abundance, were found
in the valley, the awful heat being the cause.
Mr. Dannet killed one of his horses and
drank its blood as a substitute for water
when on a prospecting tour in this region
last year. The three terrors of Death Val—
ley are scarcity of water, extreme heat, owing
to the absence of rainfall and the enormous
amount of. reflecting surface of sand and
stone, and hence unparalleled dryness of
atmosphere. It would easily serve as a not
unfit companion to that fearful ~ circle of
Dante’s Inferno, “wherein he placed his old
teacher, Ser Brunette Latini, Secretary of
Florence, describing him as walking “ with
scorched countenance ’_' under a continual
rain of “ dilated flakesoi fire ” and over t
soil of acid and thick sand, “ set on fire
like tinder beneath the steel." The hardiest

of prospectors ever hesitated to. pierce to the
‘»’.‘ ,_ .' hymn. ' . " ‘ -,

heat swerves the poise oflhis mindf‘ {instills
his reason, bids him wander without aim,
although within'sight of the snow-peaks of
the Sierra, until he falls in the flames of the
desert to die in despair, forever unburied
and unknown,——dead men lying in the
heart of dead seas, or on the slopes of dead
volcanoes, withered into mummies, whiten-
ed in the pitiless sun. Not long ago such
a body was found preserved by the boracic
acids of a hollow in the sands. Anothez
was discovered in the Coso range, where,
from letters found with it, the poor pros.
pector’s remains had lain for ten years.
The experiences of some of the} exploring

parties, none of which have thoroughly tra» ,

versed the valley, add to the previous out»
lines. The French party from Butte Coun

/ ty, California, visited the region in May,
1860, and discovered the. emigrant camp in
the northern part of Death Valley, near
where, in 1850, they abandoned their
wagons, which, in 1861, stood there still,
the iron unrusted, the wood undecayed, un-
touched by drop of rain or dew. During
October, 1860, the George expedition fol-
lowed the French trail, and found water
near where the emigrants of 1850 had 'per-
lshe‘d. Curious hieroglyphic inscriptions
were observed on the rocks in the hills west
of the valley. - , \ ' L,

In fact it is extraordinary tosee the
gorgeous costumes that issue on Sundays
