ROUTE OF A PROJECTED RAILROAD A I'rosppctor's Description of the Country Suit I.lkPiillil I.in AiiKolL'S Vcnl.int Vat I I'ls , .Miner-ill Moiin- tnlns and IH'Viln One of the fnvorlto projects of ILo Union Prtclllo railroad company is the construction of u lluo from Sail L Uo Ulty , U. T. , to Los .Angcles.Cul. Thoroulohas boon surveyed nnd nmpt mndo , bul the doblliuted conultlon ot ihc company's II nun cos nud frequent ohnugca of mnnagiM have delayed practical work on the road. The proipcct of the road bolng built In the immediate future is docldodly cheerless. The country which the projoetoa road would trnvorso Is u terra Incognita to Iho general public. U hns seldom been traveled over or described. Il contains untold nun- oral wealth nud valleys well ndaplod lo agrl- culture nud capable of sustaining life for thousands of inhabitants. All those riches now lie Idle because thsro is no posslblllly of reaching Ihom by railro.id. When the pro posed Utnh nnd Los Angeles railroad snail uo built this broad stretch of land will bo mudo ono of Iho most productive portions of Iho west. W. S. Carton of Los Angeles , who hns traversed this great unknown torrilory dur ing Iho pusi two years , gave n Now York Tribune correspondent u valunblo fund of In formation concerning U. Mr. IJartoti has In- vosllB.Ued Dcalh vnlloy , Iho Mojave dosorl nnd those p.iris of Nevada which nro nearest to California. During his long Journey ho nearly always followed the survey lluo of the proposed railroad between Los Angeles and Salt Lake. After crosslnu Dualh valley Mr. Uarton urospcctod to tno northeast of It , nud found almost ovorv Hind of mineral In its mountains ; golu , silver , copper , nickel , cobalt and zinc wore found every where in paying quantities. Tno Charleston mountains contain gold in decomposed uuarU. a good amount | of it being free mUlfug ore , whllo some of It is combinad with silver nnd coppor. Those ores will run from $ iO to ? IOU to the ton. Among the known mines in this region is the Montgomery , which is uown 'J. > tJ feet , nnd Its ml'icrul uve'ragos $10 to the ton in gold and silver. The nearest shipping point is now Foniiur , on the Vtlantlc nud Pacillo railroad , which is 153 miles distant. A little way out from Uaggctt , Cul. , clear to 1'iocho. in northeastern Novodn , the oountrj' traversed by Uarton , wns found to consist of mineral bolts of unusuul vnluo. Southwest of Piochu , still on the line of the proposed road , there nro ever 10J miles of ns line laud ns cnn bo found anywhere. It is not occupio'l by nny ono , nllhough there are thou'iinds of ncrasof school nud covernmont Innd to bo had for the Inking. Ono of these forino spots , nninuJ Garden vnlloy , the pros pector vibitod. .It is sixty-hvo mlles houlhwpst of Piocho ; U is fifty miles long nnd uvoragos ton miles in width. Two-thirds of this constitute lint class fnrmlnp lands , where oats , barley , po- tutees nnd ulfnlfa would grow excellently , and ns un npplo country it could not bo sur passed. Mr. liarton was there on the Fourtu of July lasl year , and iheu ono stream was running 1UO inches of water lengthways through the valley , coming fiom a range of mountains to tho' north , whllo two smaller streams supplied 100 Inches oach. Ho com puted that there was no lcs tban UOU.OUO acres there uwallini ; settlers. Vet no one lived in this haupy valley , whicU contained merely some fal sioolt und bor.30 * belonging to cattlemen of northern Nevndn. In the mountains north of Garden vnlloy tnoro Is plenty of _ timbjr and Iho earth is illlett with minerals. This region contains many patented minus , which have to lie Idle , like everything else out there , for want of transportation facilities , but wnen a railroad passes through this vulley the condition of thines will immediately change. Wutor is to bo obtained at a denth of from llvo to twelve feet , whllo artesian wntor could bn easily had , it is thought. The temperature of Giirdon vnlloy is like thnt of Los Angelas in summer , while iu winter only u few Inches of snow fall at nny time , nun it mulls in n few hours. Here H.irton saw 10,000 ncres of rye grass , ns hiijh as a man in ono place , nnd it is well known that this grass groivs luxuriantly only whuro water Is close to the surface and thu soil very rich. Another valley , northwest , of 1'iocho nud ilfty-llvo miles from Unrden val- Iny , is White Hivot1 vnlloy. This bus two or three settlers , but otherwise has all the quail Ies of the lirst described. Here apples nnd corenls nro grown in Inrgo quantities , and Mr. linrlon says ho never saw such oal- llelds before in nisllfo. Thu no irest road lo these unequaled valleys is now from Eu reka , Nov. , wnonco it is uecoi&nry to travel by wagon ever the mountain roads to roach them. In Uio northeasl parl of While Kivor valley shale , coal and petroleum exist iu largo quantities. ThU is only twenty miles from Iho proposed railroad. Mr. liarlon camptid out at Kane Snrings , hovonty-llvo miles north of Ash Meadow , in Djatn valloy. This is the place whore the immigrants who perished in the valley in 1817 loll their wagons , in their last attempt tu escape death from thirst. One of the sur vivors of the oxpudillon , a man named lion- son , who now resides In Lake county , Cali fornia , had written lo liarton that the last cunsignt mine was xvf.hin 11 ftoon miles of this suot. liarton and his party , therefore , loaded a number of ourros wilh two canvas suck ; apiece , each ono of Ihom containing twelve and n-half callcr.s of water. When the party reached ICiino Springs these were emptied in a large canvas lank , and lliu mil nuns were immediately sent back for more water. ICano Springs lies in a volcanic region , nud the trail of the hapiess immi grants hiu never been obliterated by water or sand. Their camp was finally found , and bore wnsfon tics and tent nins were found und some oldfabhlonud square nulls , which had been used in the construction of wagon bods. The wagons themselves und boon burned Ion- ago by the Indians. 1'no immi grants had boon compelled to leave tholr wagouv behind hero , because they found Ihomselvos unable tu get oat of Ucatli valley , oxoi'pl by the way tliuy had come. On ac count of the scarcity of water Ihoy left all Ihoir valuables behind , retraced Ihoir slops sixty miles with Ihoir cattle , nil to dlo u horrible rible death soon alter. Barton prospected for the punslght load for many days in every direction , bul failed lo Und It. There Is no walor anywhere awny tram ICuno Springs at n shorter distance than sixty mllos. As a couseijuorico birds that live iu the desert must necessarily coma there to drink. Doves were mot with by thu thousands. They feed iu the dojort on the seeds of a sort ol grass thut grows there ; they como to tbo spring in tbo evening , stay Iboro nil night and depart in the morning. They were se tumo and so numerous that the ' pros'poulors used to kill thorn by the do/on by merely throwing stones nt them. In the xouttioast end of Dculh valley quite n volume of water runs oul of the ground , and U called Saratoga springs , This forms a small lake called Yule lako. In the spring nnd thu lake ate found ti'ihos two or three Inches long , shaped like minnows , but speckled like trout. liarton fried some of those , but found thorn uneatable , as they were strongly llavorod with borax. The prospector took n swim in the spring , but though ho only remained a few minutes ho became very III owing to Its mineral qual ities. ities.Ducks are found in the tulos throughout the year , and the ubiquitous rattlesnakebolh of the slolowlndor nnd mountain varieties , is found here Iu grout number * and over ready to lls'ht. especially in hoi wonlhor. The Indians are not partial to the rntllors , but if anything will Inspire thorn with u wholesome horror it is v , black spider , the blze of n uiumbuall. 1U back is the color of gold. This amiable arachnid builds n nest in the ground , although It bus no cover , like that of thu tarantula ; it runs very fast , nnd its bite Is so poisonous that death is nearly always the result. Other uncanny Insects nro ulcntlful nnd nro most uggrosilvo , Ono of tbo most un pleasant U u largo tarantula covered with stiff yellow brUlles ; this creature U so uug- naclous that it will sink Its fangs into uuy- thing put In Irani of It. Mr. Uarton was cleaning his shotgun ono day , when lie inw ono of tuoao yellow tarantulas crawling out of his blankets. He stuok thu und of the hickory cleaning rod ho had In hfs baud In front ot the spider , and tbo latter lost no tlmo jo attacking It , and tilt it no forcibly that the marks of his fool-Trippers or fnng were Im printed In the liATib wood , Mr. Uarton noticed tnnl alt lizards In the Death vnlloy rupiDn , although not chame leons , ubango their color to matcn the tint .of the ell In which tfiov llvo. but instead of being Hooting 'llnf color remains perman ently.

Ash Meadows , In the northeastern part of Death valley , is n big alkali swnmp , contain ing some _ ' , UOO acres of lutes. Hera nro largo bauds of cattle belonging to n mnn who sup plies thu Montgomery mluos with bjuf. Some distance from Ash Meadows In Ilia desert theiu Is n section called the Indian Crook val ley. Here a peculiar Incident cnmo to linr ton's attention. A man uf about < " > 0 years has oslublUhcd himself with his wife , aged 44 , n boautlful daughter agiid ID nnd a son of 17md has Hvod for sixteen years. The old recluse has navor let his family go away from the ranch In nil thnt tlmo , so that neither of Iho 3 oung people hns over soon u village , und only a few white pooplo. The old follow will give no reason for Hooping himself nud his people so secluded nnd Is not ulwnys cordial to Iho rnro visitors who 11 id his desert onsls. Oul of n blull or his lund there rushes n big spring which elves nil the water needed for irrigation , nnd ho has under cultivation forty ncres in garden produce anil alfalfa. Plenty of anado trocs make Iho place pleas ant. Ills wife nnd child r on have trlod every means to escape from tholr irk some desert slavery , for such it Is , ns this queer genius" , believing with his rod brother that toil In the Holds Is only for women , keeps them over at work on his farm , but their attempts have boon without avail. Whllo the old man nnd the son were away prospecting In the mountains some time ngo mother and daughter escaped wltn two burros und n saddle liorso , out wlion the old follow returned and found thorn gone he gave ehaso nnd caught them forly-llve mlles luvay on Iho lop of Charleston mountains , whuro the girl was making1 Iho linal preparations for u trip to Daggott. She Is dcscilbod by Barton as boaultiul , a splendid shot with the rillu , able to shoot hawks on llio wing nnd to lasso and brand cattle or hones equal to thu bosl vuquuro. The parents seem to bo well educated , und althouirn Ihoy nave not im parted their knowledge to tholr children , the girl has taught herself to road and wrllo. The mystery surrounding these people puz zles the few white men who have been In In dian Crook vnllp . , ' Mr. Barton relates that In the southwest part of Nevndiif'Ih the Peracanut valley ( the valley of water ) , his party discovered a spring in thu mountains from which n sub stance resembling lolly ( lowed. This stuff was of nn umber color , sanlc into the sand about twenty teet from where it crushed forth , nnd the ground where it was absorbed looked uroamv. . ' ( 'ho suusuuioo could bo picked up iu the hand und would quiver ex actly llko calves ftiotjully. It tabled sully , nnd made a horse that had lapped up some of it deadly bleu. It hnd no smell , nnd Barton was unable to conjecture what it was. Another spring , some twenty miles north of : this , contained long nlnni crystals bulow the dear waters ihalnppoared like trees. One ofi Iho party , who sprang into thu spring fptn bath , came out of ic in n hurry , with hfs skin considerably burned , nnd it boguv to uecl oft ait onco. Northoabt of Death valley UileUii of Jot was discovered , uud thu'tyiniles Dniy from thatia mountain which IH supposed lo bo pure ccmoulAvas found. Mr. Barlon made his' way westward until ho reacnod the Carson * St Colorado railroad , thd terminus of which is uow Keobo. in Cali fornia. Hero ho made u trip into Nevada airain nnd visited the Columbus borax marsh and nlbo the Ylel borax marsh , Hero ! 300 Chinamen gather tbo dirt and boil it ; after tua borax cryslallzcs it is hauled , ready for market , to Candolaria , where 11 is hinod by railroad. There uro thousands und thousands of acres of this borax land still open for loca tion. Twenty miles south of Columbus , a mining uamp , Mr. Barton visited u sulphur mountain , which Is owned by an eastern company , but which , despite its great value , cannot bo worked because of thu cost of transportation. The returned prospector Is sure that when n railroad Is completed through this wonderful country il will be found 10 contain riches and possibilities not oven guessed ut uy Iho few who know some thing of its marvels. jiur riiavJ.VOK nun Atr.tr. It was u cold nnd cheerless night Inst win ter Iho kind of n * night thai cleared Ibo blroots , cul to thu marrow and made people who were lucky oiio.igh to hnvo n lire hover around It. Within tbo uowsroom all was bright aud cheerful , but without a shivering wind moaned a ceaseless requiem aim Iho snow Muttered nofily to Iho descried sidewalk bo- low. Just before "tlmo" was called n young girl came timidly into the room , and leaning nor dimpled elbow upon n turtle sadly sur veyed her surroundings. She wasn't protly , nor form was far from being graceful , her fnco wns thin , and her oyoi lacked lustre , but there was a pitiful expression in her face nun u pensive inr aboul her that aroused the latent sympathy of thu assistant foromuu , who approached und Inquired her mission. She said she was u printer , carried a union card and wanted work. # She hadn't boon in the room ton minutes before the Influence of her presence mudo llsolf manifest. The nolsv uproar cousuil , men who hnd nlways tallied ut the top of their voices made knoivn their wants In ordinary tones , und oven ' Slug 3D , n rough , coarse fellow , who wns uover known lo draw a bronih except to utter an oath , lapsed lute absolute silence. She worked that night. Il wns luiis sbo earner nnd. stayed , and by bor innate modiS'str1 and sweet , womanly ways soon ondiured herself to ovorrono around the olllco. 'If she over failed to catch work it was bcc &sq pho didn't want it , nnd there wasn't a print in the shop who wouldn't ' have sh.ya.liis coat in her defense.
