' Creeping Qevil Cactus of Lower California. by th? < National Qeocraohle a? . o'oty, Washington, D. C.) Lower California, across a part of which the path of the recent total eclipse of the sua passed, and to which parties of scientists journeyed to make observations, * seldom comes tt sl,Hr? ?' the world's interest. While its neighbor above the United States border4? of which it was once indeed a part ? Is famed throughout the world and visited by scores of' thousands of tourists, the Mexican land of the same name with u record ed history which goes back almost four centuries and is crammed with varied events, still remains one of the least known parts of North America. LowSr California? or Baja Califor nia, to give it its Mexican name ? is the lonir, nnrrnw tha* Jects about 800 miles southeasterly from the southern border of Califor nia. Its width varies from about 80' to . over 100 miles, und rit8 regular coastline, over 2,000 miles long, is bor dered by numerous islands. Being mainly a mountainous, desert region, it is thinly peopled and presents many sharply contrasting conditions. Here low, sun-scorched plains, where death by thirst' awaits the unwary traveler, lie close to the bases of towering granite peaks, belted with waving pine forests and capped in winter by gleam ing snow. ' Vast desolate plateaus of ragged black lava embosom gem-like valleys, where Vverdu re- bordered streams and the spreading fronds of date palins recall the mysterious hidden vales of the "Arabian Nights." Its western coast is bathed by cool waters and abundant fogs, while the eastern shore Is laved by the waves of a warm in land sea, sparkling under almost con tinuous sunshine, ? The early chronicles tell of its dis covery in 1533, by an expedition sent out by Cortes in search of a fabulous ly rich Island said to have been in habited by Amazons. ' It has been estimated that at the -time of its discovery the peninsula, la-, eluding many of the bordering islands, wag peopled by about 28,000 Indians. The ^-inhabitants vigorously resented the intrusion of newcomers, and for more than a century efforts to estab lish military colonies in the new land resuitad In disastrous failures. Jesuits Opened It Up. Then the occupation of Lower Cal ifornia was put In the hands of the Jesuits, and their missionaries were wonderfully successful. They ex plored all parts of the penjnsula and established missions throughout niost of Its extent, at the same time in troducing .many of the crops and fruits of the Old world. In 'addition they established the three main trails, which extend prac tically the entire length of the penin sula, and to this day serve as the reg ular" routes of travel. One leads along each coast and the third -down the mountainous Interior. Tho coast trails are easier to travel, because less broken; but the middle one is most used, owing to its better grazing and more numerous water holes. The records of the dangers and ob stacles met and overcome by such men as Padres Salvatierra, Kino, and Ugarte in their peaceable conquest of the peninsula excite one's deepest ad miration. The work they accom plished and their resourcefulness ami steadfast courage entitle them to a place In the front ranks of those stout-hearted pioneer cxplorefs who first made known the wildest parts of America. Retorted To by Freebooters. During pne period in Its history the southern shores of the peninsula served as the lurking place of Sir Francis Drake and other freebooters lying In. wslt for the treasure-laden Spanish galleons on their annual voy ages from Manila to Mexico. Afterwards, during the first two thirds of the last century, those shores c were visited by numerous half-pirate smugglers and by fleets of whalers and sealers, drawn there by the swarm ing abundance of whales, fur see?, iea elephants, and sea otter. So ruthless was the pursuit of these animals that few decades they were on the verge of extermination, and the bus!-, ness ended, apparently forever. The peart fisheries of the Gulf coast, were extremely productive at first and furnished the Spanish Crftnt with some ?C its rlch?*t jewels. Pearl fishing sttU survives as a profitable industry, and Is in the hands of two or three concessionaires with headquarters at La Paz. A few silver mines, notably at Trlunfo, In the south, and Las Flores, on the Gulf coa#t, have been worked profitably.* Onyx is mined and shipped to California, and enormous salt de posits exist on the shores of the Santa Clara desert and on Carmen Island. Most of It Mountainous. Lower California Is for " the most part . mountainous, with Irregular plulns, mainly along the Pacific coast, and smaller plains and valleys here and there along the Gulf coast and In the more elevated interior. In cli matic and other physical features the northern third nf tlm nonlnsmlt) Is a continuation of extreme southern Cal ifornia, wlfh local modifications. In the east the southern end of the Col orado desert crosses the border and continues down, the Gulf coast to Ban Felipe bay, but Is more broken by des ert mountains th&n on the Californian side of the line. The pnrt of the des ert lying Immediately south of the Cal ifornian border, with Mexlcall as Its chief town, is Improved by Irrigation from the Colorado, and shares With the adjacent imperial valley of Cali fornia in exteuslve agricultural devel opment from this source. Along the Pacific side a low range of coast mountains rises from 1,000 to 4,000 feet a short distance inland and extends over 100 miles southerly from the border. Buck of this range lies a series of narrow valleys, beyond which rises the main interior moun tain range, forming the backbone of the peninsula. These mountains con stitute a high, narrow range over 150 ,miles long extending southeasterly from the California border. The southern section of this range, form ing the San Pedro Martir mountains, rises from 6,000 to over 10,000 .feet above the sea and has a rugged and broken crest with bench-like valleys. These are the highest and most pic turesque mountains In the peninsula, r Magdalena bay farther south Is a beautiful land-locked harbor, with the _narrcrw entrance guarded by the head lands of high, mountainous ridges ex tending back some distance on Mag dalena and Margarita lalJfrfirig The , bay is about fifteen miles across, with low, sandy shores on the eastern or mainland side and to the north and northwest. > The absolute shelter within this bay and its delightful, sunny winter mate has tpr years mado it a favorite winter practice 'ground for our Pacific fleet. The bay is about 1,100 miles from San Francisco, directly on the route to Panama. La Paz a Pleasant City. La Paz, the oldest and most attrac tive town In Lower California, Is at the head rtf La Pae baj'. In the Gulf. It is the capital of the southern die-, trict and the chief commercial port of the peninsula, containing nearly 0,000 people. The streets are well laid out and there are some excellent stores and many comfortable houses. The gardens are filled with palms' and various tropical fruit trees, which give the place a strongly tropical appear^ ance though set In the midst of an excessively arid desert plain. Water Is abundant near the surface and is pumped for Irrigation purposes^ La Paz has always been the base of the pearl fisheries, which extend along the east coast of the peninsula and far down the west coast of the Mexican mainland. North of La Paz the only towns on the Gulf coast are the small agricultural settlements at Loreto and Mulege nnd the busy mining camp of Santa Rosalia, the largest town in Lower California. - The climate of Lower California In general is hot and arid, as shown by the existing desert condjflons. In the northern part ' conditions are closely like those in the adjoining parts of southern California; in the middle they are more arid, but the extreme southern end, though arid tropical, has more regular summer rains. -The rain fall on tjbo peninsula comes from two sources. * The winter rainy Mease* ahmr the north Pacific coast extends commonly over the northern parts of Lower California, and sometimes win ter storms reach its extreme southern end. In summer the tropical rainy ten son extends across from the Mextcxa ?lair. land to tti? wuther* end. MASTERS' SALE. Stale of South Carolina, County of Kershaw* Court of Common Pleas.
