/Today On American Moun ' tains. The Grave Near the* Hangar. No Place for Winne mucca. Nor for Annenberg. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. _ . ... —--/ On the Southern Pacific Limited, E'astbound From San Francisco, Doc. 17.—This train carries you jilting the top of American moun Hains, everything covered with Isnow, height above sea level rang ing from 4,000 to 7,000 feet. Where the train screeches by, startling heavy cattle, the old emi grant trail may be seen, leading up from Gravelly Ford, on the Hum lioldt river. Along that trail, slow ly, painfully with their ox carts, "their wives and children, men ^.raveled in 1849. ’ * It was only 75 years ago when the first gold-seeking immigrants M'ame to that ford in the river, ..watching for Shoshone and Piute ‘Indians, children playing and *laughing in the jolting wagons, the .Women going because the men i wanted to go, the men plodding on ^ ^because there was gold ahead. . Looking from the window first to the right, a little later to the Deft, you realize that this earth tnoves rapidly, with science pushing .it ahead. ^ To the right, between Gluro and iBeowawe, on a iow point running but into the Humboldt river, stands a white cross. On one side is writ I ten “the maiden’s grave,” on the other, the young girl’s name, “Lu cinda Duncan.” She is said to be the first white girl dead in the emi grant rush, not killed by Indians, but by loneliness, homesickness and fear. As you reach Elko, you see on the left great hangars, with relays of flying machines ready. There United States flying mail carriers land and find a fresh, machine to carry the mail bags on. And there pony mail drivers of old stobped and changed their mail poijRies to fresh ponies. I - There is a contrast between the old and the new United States; with only 75 years between, the lonely grave of the emigrant girl on the right, and on the left the hangars for flying machines of the modern mail service. The days of emigrant ox cart, stage coach, fighting Piutes and Shoshones, and the days of romance are gone. The proud citizen who gets on at Beowawe directs your particular attention to the local power plant sending energy in all directions, notably to the Buck horn mines, 37 miles away, “with $7,000,000 worth of gold ore in sight.” Real gold in sight is the thing in our practical day. The fighting Winnemucca of the Piutes would find this country once divided be-, tween his Indians and the Sho shones no place now for an Indian chief. White men arc building bouses, harnessing waterfalls, dig ging holes in the ground for gold, silver, copper. Cattle of strange foreign breeds are fenced in. You may not kill and eat them. The horses, big and heavy, are also within fences. Freedom is gone, from animals and Indians. But there is enough romance left for the eastern paleface. You look into a deep hole, 40 feet below ground, where the track crosses a stream. On the edge of the hole a concrete mixer is at work, and below 20 men are preparing foun dations for a new bridge. Just beyond the dqpp snow is the group of flat tents in which the workers sleep. There is romance in that, the romance of the science of engi neering at work in this country, which was prepared 600,000,000 years ago, as a horn? for flying men. Your great-grandchildren will know these mountains, valleys and rivers by actual seeing from above, as well as children of today know some nearby resort. In generations to come, men and governments more nearly civilized, will allow no children.to develop stunted bodies and deformed minds in city slums. They will fly to this country, to these high lands of Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, to all parts of this Amer ican mountain paradise of health and beauty. v (Copyright, 19:).)
