GOLD SEEKERS REWARDED |
THREE MEN FIND THE LONG-LOST i
GUNSIGHT MINES.
Traveling Through the Noted Death
17?? 1 ?Almnc^ Pnfichn/1 nf' Hoaf.
I and Thirst?Gold In Abundance. 1
A recent letter from Los Angeles,Cal.,
to the A'ew York Sun says: There are '
now in this city three men who have re- ;
ccntly crossed and recrosscd the famous [
Death Valley of Southern California, and !
who have succeeded in solving a mine '
mystery which lias balhed the most dar- j
ing and skilliul prospectors for many
years. The Gunsight placers were located
in '4i?, but were afterward lost,
and though repeated attempts have been
made to tmd them, most of the men engaged
in the effort have perished.
About six weeks ago when A. P. Jud- '
son, A. D. Spring and Harney Carter an- 1
nounced that they were going after the <
Gun-ight trail, their friends sought to 1
dissuade them, and chance acquaintances 1
laughingly bade them good-by forever. <
No one ever expected to see them again, '
and when they set out confidently on 1
their mission they were given up as dead ]
men might have been. So many such
expeditions had left this and other towns <
' - J- ^ Si-- 1 I
oniy ro meet aeatn in us uumuit
forms, that this one was regarded as ;
especially foolhardy. '
About a week ago the three men re- !
turned. They came in by rail, ragged, J
emaciated, and feeble, and one of them, '
Carter, sick abed. But all were enthusiastic
over their achievements, and each 1
had in his pockets Nuggets 10 prove his <
assertion that the Gunsight mine had
been found. The story of their trip
would be incredible were they not here
as living witnesses to its truth, their
bodies bearing all to > plainly the proofs
of the suilerings which they have undergone.
Knowing that the discoverers of the
Gunsight mines crossed the Death Valley,
these adventurers sought, if possible,to
make the same trail. Once through
the Mojave Desert, they soon came to
the daz-ling white sandy plain, where no
life can exist. Almost at the tirst step
they were prostrated by the fierce heat
from above and below. Their feet
swelled so that they were compelled to
^ rip open their shoes, and the goggles
which they had prepared were but feeble
protection for their eyes.
The men had two wagons, each drawn
by two horses, and in these vehicles they
carried water in barrels and other supplies.
After an hour or two of the most
painful locomotion, the heat becoming
more intolerable at every step, the party
paused a few minutes for rest and refreshment.
The poor beasts fairly groaned
in their agony, and the men themselves
did not dare look at each other
lest they would read in each other's
eyes the despair which all knew was settling
upon tbem. On every hand tiiey
beheld the whitened skeletons of men,
of horses, . and of burros. In some
places they found the remains of what
appeared to have been an expedition?
ruined vehicles, with the skeletons of
horse- and men lying about. Yultuies
swooped down upon them with angry
\ cries, and other birds of prey circled high
X above-their heads, following them as
X they pro^ressejl.
When ni^ht tame thev followed the
north star,' or.e man trying to sleep while
the others drove. At daybreak there
was nothing to relieve the eye. All
around them was the gleaming sand;
overhead the brassy sky, and far away
the rocky sides of the mountains ou
which no vegetable liTe was ever found.
Wearily they"pressed on, confident that
the worst was over, but when almo-t in
sight of the east range of the Amargosas,
to which they were bound, the blazing
heat played them a merciless prank.
The scorching which men and beasts
were enduring with reasonable fortitude
was too much for the water barrels and
their wagons. The wood of which they
were made shrank and shriveled until
they fell to pieces, first the wagons and
then the barrels. All attempts to keep
them together were useless. With the
water gone the party was well nigh in
despair, but when the wagons, too. fell
to pieces theie was a minute when all
recognized the probability that another
expedition was to be added to the long
list of those which had gone into that
abode of death never to be heard of
again. When thing* appeared to be at
their worst, Carter spied something in
the white sand a few rods awav, and,
hurrying toward it, found the pieces of
a wagon which had belonged to a '4!ter
whose skeleton lay close at hand. Wood
never decays in that atmosphere, and of
the three wrecked wagons the men were
able to gear up one vehicle that would
convey their remaining supplies and their
tools. $
This delay came very nea* being fatal
to all concerned. One horse died in the
harness, and Carter was prostrated so
completely that for a time his life was
despuire 1 of. Toiling painfully along,
now without water and with no hope of
any until they coulU clear the desolate
valley, .iudson and Spring were at length j
compelled in their agony to dig deep
into the sand in the hope of rinding
moisture with which to quench their
intolerable thirst. At a depth of a few
feet they catne upon water, but it was
salt. They drank of it, but it only served
to increase their suffering, and when
they gave some of it to their horses the
beasts refused to swallow it. With a
firm determination to pi ess on to the
utmost limit of their strength, the men
continued their iournev. and at length.
more dead than alive, they emerged
from the valley and began the ascent of
i the mountains.
| Here they found some bunch grass, on
which their horses feasted, and a spring '
of water, copious draughts from which
revived the entire party. Tarrrying at
this spring a day or two for the purpose
of recuperating, the men finally pushed
d on, prospecting the country closely as

or of the previous presence of man was
found, but on the eighth day, as they
were digging for water, they came upon
gravel abounding in coarse gold in nuggets
worth from $1 to $5 apiece. This,
then was in the vicinity of the far-famed .
Gunsight placers, and another day's investigation
brought them upon the
very ground where nearly fcrty years
ago the mines had been staked out. ]
Procuring many fine specimens, the men
returned by a roundabout way. and on
arriving here made known their discovery.
The dilapidated appearance of
the adventurers and the magnificent
specimens whicn they had with them
brought plenty of friends to their side,
and already preparations are in progress
for an expedition which is to have for
its object the opening of the mines.
This caravan will be supplied with
wagons with steal wheels, and it will
carry water iu barrels made of sheet
iron. The experience of the party has
nnnvinwd thnm that wooden Vehicles
and leservoirs are useless in the parching
itmosphere of Death Valley, and they
will run no further risks with them. It
is expected that a start will be made in
ibout two weeks, the company this
:ime being larger and going prepared
for a winter campaign.
Winding up the Owl.
In one of the JL'owcry mu?eums, in a
tvire cage, is a monster owl, with eves as
big as live-dollar gold pieces. A solemn
ooking man wandered from the serpent's
leu to the owl's cage, and his eyes met
those of the captive bird. As he walked
irouud the cage the big, flat eyes of the
owl remained lixed upon him. He kept
on, aud, while the claws of the bird
olutched the rod on which it was
perched, the eyes neither winked nor
wavered. Three times he made the circuit
of the cage, keeping his eyes fixed
on those of the owl. Then he halted,
still eyeing the bird, and a perplexed
look came over his face. Again he
started on, with quicker step, and as
often as he made the circuit of the cage
he closed one linger of his open hand.
After he had doubled over seven fingers
an attendant in the museum came up and
asked him what it was all about.
"Go away,"' said the man. without
taking his eyes from the owl, and he
kept on around till he had closed the
other finger and both thumbs. Then he
halted, and, still keeping his eyes fixed
on those of the owl, he said:
"I've walked around that owl ten
times since I counted, and three or four
times before, and he hasn't taken his
eyes off me yet, nor let go the perch with
his claws. He ought to be pretty near
wound up, hadn't hef"
The museum man thought the stranger
was a crank, and went off to attend to
some boys who were pestering the monkeys.
"With the observation that ho could
keep on walking as long as the owl could
keep turning his head around without
letting go his claws, the stranger started
on. He made eight or ten more circuits
and then halted and waited to see the
owl's head fly back like a piece of
twisted India rubber, but the owl's
eyes remained fastened upon him with a
placid look.
"Well, that beats me," saia tne man,
and he disappeared down the stairway.
What puzzled the man has been a puzzle
to naturalists also. One of the solutions
is that after each turn the owl's
head flies back so quickly that the human
eye cannot detect the movement.?New

An Opening for Economy.
Farmers complain that they make little
money. Tliey occupation is healthy
and independent, but fails to be lucrative.
Many young men detest the homefarm

Larger remuneration. If any means can
be devised byv^hich farmers can lay up
more money, this great drift may possibly
be arrested.

blc, which would make a large saving in I
annual expenses. It is computed thjit on
the farms of the United States there are
at least six million miles of fences,
which have cost in round numbers, $2,000,000,000,
and have to be renewed
every fifteen years.
In other words, the farmers of the
country expend every fifteen years on
their fences a greater sum than our entire
nat onal debt, and the amount increases
annually instead of diminishing.
If this vast outlay could be saved, it
would add greatly to the farmers' annual
income.
Much of the expense is needless, and
is merely the outgrowth of long-established
habits which need reforming.
There is room here for economy on a stupendous
scale, with lucrative returns.
Fences are disappearing in our cemeteries,
with a great gain to beauty and good
taste. They are not introduced in some
of our newer cities, like Norwich and
Minneapolis. When laws against vagrant
cattle are rigidly enforced, farmers
will be benefited by saving the heavy expense
of fencing.?Youth's Companion.
A Century's Change.
The city directory of 1786, when the
population of New York was about 25,00U,
contained only fc'43 names, a very
small proportion of the whole number of
inhabitants. The directory of this yeai

every five of the population within the
municipal district. A century ago the
northern limit from which names were
taken was Roosevelt and Cherry streets
on the east side, and Dey street on the
west side. Now the northern limit is the
southern boundary of Yonkers, fourteen
and a half miles from the City rtall.
Among the names in the directory of 17SG
are those of Blcecker,Brevoort,Bceknian,
C'ruger, Cortlandt, Desbrosses, Hamilton.

Many of the representatives of
old families of that day have entirely disappeared,and
more of the representatives
of the old families of the present had not
then emerged from the common multitude.

Dana finds that the average height of
the land above sea level is about 1,000
feet, and that this would probably cover
the bottom of the sea to the depth of 375
feet; so that, taking the average depth
of 1,500 feet, it would take forty times
as much land as exists above sea level to
fill the oceanic depressions.

It is proposed to drill holes down from
the surface into the workings of "fiery
mines ' to allow the fire-damp which
accumulates in them to escape much in
the same way as gas is allowed to escape
from the natural gas wells of Pennsylvania.
The damp would be collected
in reservoirs and used as gaseous fuel,
while the pits would be freed from
danger of explosion.
Paper pipes for water and gas have been |

from sheets of paper, and coated on the

In winding the paper is soaked
in melted asphalh and the pipe is painted

over with sand. It is claimed that such
a pipe will resist some 2,000 pounds internal
pressure, although the material is
only about half an inch thick.

The Magdalena River.
Consul Dawson, of Bar nn-juilla, has
been exploring the Magdalena River,
the principal commercial stream of the
United States of Colombia. The river
rises in the southern part of the country,
in latitude one degree thirty minutes
north, and longitude seventy-six degrees
twenty minutes west, at an elevation of
14,271 feet above the sen level. The
river runs nearly due north and empties j
into the Carribenn Sea. Its length is ,
nbout 1100 miles, and the temperature of I
the country through whi h it passes
varies from forty to ninety degrees, thus
affording the greatest variety for the
crons of both temperate and torrid zone3.
It is navigable by large steamers lor GOO
miles, the journey up-stream requiring
ninety-seven hours, whle the return,
trip can be made in about forty-five
hours. There are some twenty tributary
streams, the principal one being the
Cauca, draining one of the finest valleys
in the country. Towns and villages and i
trading posts are scattered all a^ng the ,
stream, and already six companies, running
twenty-seven steamboats and fleets
of barges are required to accommodate
the great trade centering on the river.
The principal town is Barranquillu, not
far from the mouth, the terminus for the
river boats and the enter-port for the
country. It has 25,000 inhabitants, fine
buildings, factories, and all the appearance
of a thriving, growing city.

A Survival of Saxon Times.
The blowing of a horn from the market-cross
which wound up the first day
of the Ripon millenary festival is an
everyday event in the picturesque old
city. It is a survival of Saxon times, i
wlicn it was the signal for setting the |
watch at sunset. At 9 o'clock every
evening three notes are sounded in front
of the Mayor's house and three at the
obelisk in the market-place. The practice
was revived in 1857 by order of the
municipal authorities. If any house "on
the gate svd within the towne'' were
robbed after that hour the "wakeman"
was bound to make up the loss. The
watch, it is curious to know, was maintained
by a tax on doors. It was not
very onerous, however, being at the rate
of ~ pence per door per annum.

Can Consumption be Cared.
We have so often seen fatal results follow
the declaration that It can bo cured, that we
have unconsciously settled down in the belief
that this disease must necessarily prove fatalIt
is true that occasionally a community has
witnessed an isolated case of what may appropriately
be termed spontaneous recovery,
but to what combination of favorublo clrcum
stances this result was due none nave nunerto
been found able to determine.
We have now the gratifying fact to announce
that the process by which nature affects this
wonderful change is no longer a mystery to
the medical profession, and that the changes
brought about in the system under favorable
circumstances by intrinsic causes may be
made as certainly and more expeditiously by
the use of the proper remedy. In other words,
nature is imitated and assisted.
Tuberculous matter is noth'ng more or less
than nourishment imperfectly organized.
Now, if wo can procure the organization of
this food material so that through the process
of elective affinity it may take its place in the
system, we can euro the disease. This is just
what Piso's Cure for Consumption does. It arrests
at once the progress of the disease by
preventing the further supply of tuberculous
matter, for while the system is under its influence
all nourishment is organized and assimilated.
It thus controls cough, expectoration,
night-sweats, hectic fever, and all other characteristic
symptoms of Consumption.
Many physicians are now using this medicine,
ana all write that it comes fully up to its
recommendations and makes Consu inptlon one
of the diseases they can readily cure.
The forming stage of a disease is always the
most auspicious for treatment. This fact
should induce persons to resort to the use of
Piso's Cure when the cough is flrst noticed,
whether it has a consumptive diathesis for its
cause or not, for this remedy cures all kinds of
coughs with unequaled facility and prompt*
In rnucrha from a simnle cold, two or
three doses of the medicine have been found
sufficient to remove the trouble. So in all diseases
of the throat and lungs, with symptoms
simulating those of Consumption, Piso's Cure
is the only infallible remedy.
The following letter recommending Piso's
Cure for Consumption, is a fair sample of the
certificates received daily by the proprietor of
this medicine.

An Undoubted Blessing.
About thirty years ago a prominent physician
by the name of Dr. William Hall discovered,

a remedy for the diseases of the throat, chest
and lungs, which was of such wonderful effi

this country. The name of the medicine is
Dr. Wit Hall's Balsam for the Lungs, and
may be safely relied on as a speedy and positive
cure for coughs, colds, sore throat, &c.

after not being able to get up from my bed
without help by tpeUt for more than a year.
Now I can Jump as quick as a boy. It seems
to much like a miracle. I can not find suitable
language to express my thanks. I am in
receipt of letters almost every week, and
sometimes twice a week, asking me about iny
first testimony published in Dr. Kilmer's
Invalids' Guide to Health, inquiring if it was
true that "I waacured after suffering so muoh."
Now I repeat the testimony with sworn proof
and if this will be the means of inducing some
othersuffercr to try your invaluable Remedies
It will pay me a hundred fold. I am interviewed
almost every day and I hear of a great
many who have tried your Remedies and
peak of them in great praise.
This testimony is truo as to my recovery
but' as to my suffering the one-half has not
been told.
Sworn and subscribed to before me tlie 6th
Day of November, 1883, by David Trumball.
