There was one toast drank at thai lltllo

All the evening the north and the south

nd had pledge ! llrolf again and again lo

The north forgol oil about null nun and

and returned the pledges with extravagant
loquenco.
Then sc-me ono proposed a toast to the

offer. Its praises were sung from ono end

In the midst of that veld ( plain ) , wnetc
ton years ago nature hold all sway , stand
Johannesburg , the golden city , the homo o
40,000 busy nouls , the queen of the continent
full of bustling Ufa and activity , noisy with
Its machinery , rich , Independent , and flourish
Ing.And
And what has done this ? The power o
gold , Oold WHS fo.ind In the veld , Veins o
gold that seemed boundless , and men flocked
to the spot front ovnn the remotest quarters
of the Klobj. Of course for a tltno the place
was nothing more than nn Immense mining
camp. I3ut today It is a beautiful city
lighted by electricity , Us streets straight am
well paved , Its buildings of stone , and Its
water supply equal to that of any town ot Its
slzo In the world. Among other advantages
It contains chnrcho ? and banks and hospitals
and theater : ! , a slock exchange and club
houses , nnd a splendid race track. The out
put of gold from Its mines In one month In
1S92 waa something ever 110,000 cunccs , am
for the whole year about 1,210,000 ounces.
This Is the history ot the golden city. It
la situated on the Elope of the range of hills
known as the Wltwatersrand ( Whlto Water
Ridge ) , which forms the dividing watershed
botwcen the Atlantic nnd the Indian oceans
The gold-bearing district Is spoken o :
throughout Africa as the "Rand , " the former
portion of the name being commonly omitted
Gold wau known to exist here as long ago as
the beginning ot this century. Herr Maueli
the German explorer , wandered through the
country and returned to Berlin with eyes
wide open and mouth agape. "Tho country
IB full cf gold , " ho declared. "Full of gold , '
repeated the Germans In wonder. "Yes , from
river to river , " ho replied moaning from
the Vaal to the Limpopo. Hut the traveler
had not been homo long when ho suddenly
fell 111 and died. So the matter dropped
and talk of dld In the Rand was not heart !
.again until 185C.
STRIKING THE YELLOW.
In that year a Dutchman , hunting tor gold
In the republic , unearthed a rich patch of the
"yellow. " The Doers , wlto up to that time
were unaware ot the p-esenco of gold In the
nelghbDrhood , gaypjt fortunate mnn a large
sum for his dispose and sent hh/i / back to
the colony. The 'l.-ansvaal son/s are es
sentially an agricultural people , add , like all
such , resent the { Intrusion of civilization ,
They are an unlettered people densely Ignorant
and obstinate beyond all belief. Theirs Is
an Indolent , sluggish nature. Impassive and
unassertive , eJccpptlnE on one subject. They
liato the foreigner tlio uttlander , as they
call him. Curiously enough , too , they hate
Lho Hollanders , from whom they are do-
cended , most of 'all. s ' - .
So It happenfcdi that nothing more was
leard ot gold lrthd \ Rand until the end of
1884. In that yea Mr. Wemmer and others
discovered portions , of the , -reef which to
day enjoys widespread rjenown. Tnen fol
lowed 'a 'TftiSn ' of prospectors ; and for a time
the field was orverrun by enthusiastic , de
termined , penniless-cold hunters. The Rand
at that time wa4 butjsparsely settled , "jjyith-
in the range ol | theeyeIn , every direction
from the center , otlho ' _ present town .thre
was then but tnat'ortemuihouse referred
to above. It was.occupied by , a Boer named
Johannes Bezutdenhout , who Is now one of
the richest men in'the country. Had he
not been a Boer be would have sold all his
and for a .irjflo anjl .would have been de-
Ighted with 'tho bargain. As it was , his
hatred of the foreigners was a far strongsr
pars-Ion that his love of gold.
Gradually the Boers , owning farms all
along the Rand , yielded to the persistent
clamors , entreaties .and threats of the In
vaders , and granted claims. It was then
, hat the Boer government agreed to recognize
the claims allotted by the owners of farms ,
otlpulatlng , however , * that those who worked
, hem paid the prescribed , , tax and observed
.ho rules and regulations framed by them.
This proclamation attracted largo crowds to
the field , and soon a big mining camp sprang
t'to ' existence.
THE RUSH.
It was then that the adage that "all roads
cad to Rome" should have been changed to
'all roads lead to Johannesburg , " for from
avery district In the south , and oven from
every other land and clime , an Interminable
stream flocked Into the golden city. English
men , Boers , Dutchmen , Americans , Kaffirs ,
Zulus and Hottentots Jostled one another In
he rude streets bf the camp. Some of them
built reed and daub huts ; others put up tin
shanties ( the material nothing more than
English kerosene tins , flattened out ) , and
others crawled under wagons till some bet-
or place of rest could bo obtained ; all had
coino to stay.
The air was filled with the shouts of
bustling men , the cracking of the long hide
vhlps in the hands of Kaffirs and Boers
dtivlng their oxen teams through the streets
the sudden yell of a cab driver , developed
n a cloud of dust , on finding his plunging
torso about to rldo you down , nnd the heavy
unibllng of heavy wagons and the sounds
f hammer and axe. The camp was a scene
f constant turmoil , Every maias filled
vlth feverish excitement and animated by
he wildest hopes. Scones of violence wore
carcely noticed ; Indeed , there was no time
or such. The excitement of a murder died
way In an hour. AH sentiment , all onlnr.
11 decency , was lost In the wild , tumultuous ,
11-ahsorblng race for gold.
But soon the tumult of camp Ufa sub-
Ided , the wild scramble settled Into steady ,
rganlzed persistence and a change came
ver the scene. And the cause of the change
was gold more gold. Capitalists from Eng-
and , from Paris , and even from Australia ,
ockcd to Johannesburg , bought up claims ,
rganlzed companies , hired labor , and issued
lock. Some were successful and made for-
uncs. Others failed and lost their all. Still
lie number of companies Increased with bo-
wlldrrlng rapidity1 , till at length , In 1890 ,
liero were 450 gold concerns , with a , capital
f $55,000,000.
r
Up to this perjqif Johannesburg was hardly
nero than nn organised camp. The early sel
lers were either toocbuslly occupied with gold
r too careless , to give much heed to the
bodes they lived ( n.'or to tholr sanitary sur-
oundlngf. . There'wore hundreds of mud huts
nd wooden phantle- } , roofed with galvanized
ron , occupied by the , worklngmen , Quito au
ate as 1890 many oft the Inhabitants dwelt In
ents , which they had brought with them
rom the cape. " ,
TUB pyiLDINd FEVER.
Hut when the. building fever broke loose In
ohannesburg It .was amazing to foe the rapid
ly with which It spread. And the fires ! Oh ,
tow the Insurance companies must have suf-
ered ! But nothing was over heard of the
rlgln of the blaEIn every case , whore the
gent could possibly absent hlmtelf from his
uest for gold , the Investigation would result
he same "Cause of fire unknown. " The
Ito of the flrewould , scarcely cool when
vould bo laid the foundation of some stone
r brick structure , and In this way the
ooden shanties wire weeded out. Honca the
emark often heard ; * "Yes , a splendid city :
ut who built It ? " '
Johannesburg la , for all practical purpose } ,
n English settlement. The first to Hock
lilther when the gold fields were proclaimed
ere Engllfhmen , mostly from Klmberly ,
Natal and Cape Colony. English Is the gen-
ral language of the place ; the Boors have :
earned It , and many of the Kaffirs , too ,
America Is represented to the number of
bout COO , and , generally speaking , the
Yanks" as they are termed are happily
rovldcd with a good uupply of the needful.
Of course , the Fourth of July comes round
n the Transvaal , Just an U does In the
tatea , but It Is observed In the absence of
r'eworkJ , though not without a little gun-
> owder and open air concerts. The first In-
Imation an Englishman baa of the occasion
roquently happens when , hearing numerous
houta and pistol shnti , he runt around Com-
tltuloner street < aud make. * the center of
Mnrlcol or Marshall square to find A dozen
or nnro Americans enjoying themnelves.
Shortly afterward a tow Uutch police re
luctantly approach , and , on seeing an ab
sence of danger , endeavor to persuade the
happy band to disperse. But the American
Is equal to the occas-l-n. Pushing a sovereign
eign forward , he Invariably exclaims : "Hero
hlc drink the health hlc of Undo Sam ! "
And the officers depart ,
* Tin ; SIZE OF TUI3 BOOM.
But before wo proceed further a few fig-
urea must bo taken Into consideration. The
Oolden City lloa midway between Eululand
and llechtianaland. It has an altitude of
nbout (5,000 ( feet , south latitude 20 degrees.
In 1S92 thcro wcro ninety-four rainy days
27.54 Inches. The lowest temperature In
the open In July was 28 degrees ; the lowest
In the shade , IS dcgreoi. The highest tem
perature In the open In February waa 12S
degrees , and the highest In the shade waa
110 degrees. In December.
The total white population In the Trans
vaal Is estimated nt 119,128 , Of those nbout
two-thirds are aliens , the vast majority of
whom are British subjects. Classified ac
cording to station or occupation , the white
population Is divided Into six classes ; Com
merce , 3,143 ; tradesmen , mechanics , etc. ,
4,094 ; Industty ( Including miners ) , 2.C40 ; ag
riculturists , 17,140 ; professionals , 3,599 , and
these without any fixed occupation , 87,912.
In regard to the question as to whether
there Is nny clamilah foiling among the set
tlers , ono has to go to the mines only to
l > nrn. Here the employes will consist wholly
of Cornlshmcn : there * , n staff of N'nriliiinilinr.
land men ; here , n company represented by
canny Scots , nnd there , us the case may be ,
Australians or Capo Colonials. Hut this state
of affairs Is 'not ' always the action of tha
working manager. It too frequently happens
among the men. The moment a staff Is rep
resented by one-half of either of the above
the weedlng-out process begins.
Hence It will be seen that the Inhabitants
of Johannesburg are composed of n throng
difficult to understand certainly , In the
main , n people upon whom no dependence
can be placed. For Instance , following some
action on the part of the Boer government ,
dissatisfaction arises among the scltlcis. A
mass meeting Is called , and tit 4 p. m. Satur
day afternoon ( the usual time ) , about 2,000
perchance 3,000 or 4,000 , according to the
enormity of the occasion asj.-cmble on Mai-
ket square , facing the postoffice and public
buildings. An agitator steps to the front ,
and In the absence ot ceremony Is hustled
up to the top of a high box , or , perhaps ,
Into an open wagon. Ho Is not allowed much
time to reflect upon what he will say , and ,
realizing this , as he looks upon the excited
faces about him , ho decide" to como right
down to the point. Of course , nt first every
word ( ho chooses his words for a time to
sooth the element ) that drops from his 1IP9
Is draw nod In a general "hear , hear , " or a
scries of other varied exclamations. Any
how , after about two hours' discussion , during
which several speakers have In turn been
hustled up on high , and five or six fights
lave occurred In different parts of the crowd ,
the meeting , without bavins gathered In the
details , urnnlmously decide to take quick
action. But , owing to various causes , not
the least of which being the want of faith
felt by either section In the other , the reso-
utlon taken at the meetlnals never executed.
COWING AMOB. .
Of all the men In South Africa , Barney
Barnato , the "Kaffir- king , " Is about the
only ono that can deal with n Johannesburg
crowd. As a proof of this It will be neces
sary only to refer to the period prior to
ils election as a representative of the Golden
City. He was to speak on the square , and
when taking his stand ho looked upon as
rowdy a mob as It Is possible to find In
civilized camps. Ho commenced on his sub-
ect , but be got no further ; a thousand yells
drowned his words. Once more he began ,
with the same result. Nothing disturbed ,
3arnato took out a cigarette , and lighting
t , coolly surveyed the throng. Gradually
: ho excitement subsided , and watching' his
chance , the speaker gained bis point amid
.he silence of thousands.
But there Is another Captain von Brandls ,
landdrost ( magistrate ) , representing Presi
dent Krueger In Johannesburg. He Is often
spoken of as the "grand old man. " To hm |
s duo the credit of quelling and dispersing
riotous mobs at various times , foremost
among which happened on the second visit
of Oem Paul ( the president ) . Ho came to
the city seated In a barouche , preceded and
followed by about 400 burghers , well armed ,
and riding two abreast. The president , hold-
ng his tile hat In a position Just above th ?
side of his head , looked as palo as death ,
and constantly gazed Into vacancy , as if
Ireadlng every Instant a mortal blow. In
his manner he at last gained the land-
drost's house , and then only did be breathe
igaln with relief. Of course , almost every
one by this time had taken the afternoon off
and hastened to Join the several gioups that
Ined the streets. At length night came on
he scene , when presently a great shout
rang out from several hundred throats , as
an excited crowd rushed off pell-mell to
he captain's house. Arriving there they
called loudly for the president , and that
gentleman not appearing In response , they
nade to enter the dwelling. Meanwhile the
'ultlandero" were hustling and elbowing
he Boer safeguard , much to the latter's
llsmay. The click of revolvers could be
icard In all parts ot the throng , and for
ho time matters looked serious. In the
nldst of the brewing storm the door opened
and Captain von Brandls appeared In a
lood of light , bareheaded. The trouble was
hus averted. As with one , voice he was
greeted with tremendous applause , and pres-
nlly , In response to his desires , the as-
embiy dispersed.
RACE ANTAGONISMS.
The patriotism and antagonism of the alien
poptilaco is best observed In the theaters ,
where there are stars whose celebrity packs
ho house to the limit of standing room ,
lore thecremo de la creme , in evening
ress , do nightly pose , watching the show ,
not on the stage , but In the body of the
louse. It Is an occasion on which they sea
nd are seen. The performance over , the
Volkslled" ( Boer national anthem ) strikes
p , and Is apparently the signal to put on
our hat , for in all that mass of humanity ,
mshlng slowly to the exit , there' Is not one
ncovered head. But the moment "God Save
lie Queen" strains through the hall presto !
very hat Is not removed , but Jerked off , as
! each nnd all vied with the other to stand
rst with uncovered head ; and should It
mppen that any one has omitted the cere
mony , his hat is hastily pulled oft for him.
Tnen , again , you ooserve similar scenes
n the Wanderers' Club , where the Sunday
Ight concerts are held. But , unlike the tho-
ters , the promenades , both on the roomy
round floor and the balcony on either side ,
liable the visitors space to pose as suits
icm best.
Johannesburg Is no exception to the gcn-
ral rule ; It also has Its separate localltlej
or the different classes. Doornfonteln , lying
nugly under the hill half a nillo north of
lie town , presents a striking contrast to
10 vicinage , tht rich and powerful of the
.and having spared no expense In making It
hat It appears a delightful suburb.
Scarcely less beautiful is the site of Jeppes-
town , the home of the middle clasi < , situated
a mile duo cast of the c'.ty. Now turn right
about face , and you gaze upon Fordsburg ,
where dwell the poorer Inhabitants and the
major portion of the wage earners , It llea
upon a slope , and to reach It you must first
pass down the hill , then up through a troa
plantation. Further along the same rise
stands the extensive works of the Robinson
Gold Mining company , the-monarch of the
Rand , bustling with life and activity , and
nolty with Ha machinery. Push on still fur
ther west over the bare , wavy plains , along
the reef and branch railway , passing Lang-
laagle , Ranfontcln and Lulpaardsvlel a dis
tance In all of eighteen mllear-and you come
to Paardekrnal , before tha famous monutrft-nt
In front of which Dr , Jameson met defeat ,
TUB CITY ON MARKET DAY.
But to return to the city. Of all the Inter-
eating sights of Johannesburg , the morning
market ranks among the firfct. The building
itself Is situated In the center of Market
equare , bounded on the east by the postoffico ,
on the south by wlnkels ( general stores ) and
on the west and north by an occasional
Arab store. Dawn scarcely breaks when
Bimo thirty or forty wagons , each with Its
twenty oxen , In charge of a Boer , draw up
on the square. Some contain chaff , others
firewood ( In the form of logs ) , others bun
dles of sheath oats , and others oUher po
tatoes or Indian corn. To each of these
wagons the auctioneer Is followed by an
Interested crowd , and In this way a part of
the whclo Is eold to the highest bidder.
Meanwhile , a totally d'tferent ' scene U ob
served In the building , Long rows of ta
bles lead from aisle to aisle the whole
length of the building. It Is hero that the
maiket gardeners of all nations display their
green goods. But what a motley , clamor
ing throng Jostles you as you squeeze your
wjy fiom place to place. Boarding house
keepers , hotel men , housewlvoi , bachelors ,
Chnaineu ! ( storekeepers on the Rand ) , and
Asiatic coollM nil are there. The latter < ro
the solo vegetable vendors of the town ThMr
location ( camp ) stands on the slope midway
between the railway PMtlon nnd Fordaburc.
Of all the visitors to the * imrnlng nnrkct
the Boers are about the most nulnterojtlnr ; .
Having sold their goods , the more sens'blu
ot them general- ! make a few purchases
and make tracks for the "house" ( farm ) ,
But with many ot them this innctlco 1.4
quite a recent departure. They would linger
awhile , gape nbout the city , nnd at last
wander Into a. canteen ( small bu ) . Hero ,
OUT a RlfiM ot beer or M'lrlts , they would
discuss tholr v'ctorlcs ever the English. Now ,
any mention even the smallest of "Anu-
Jult.i Hill" Is a sore point to the lirlton , nnd
In consequence the Boor would suddenly como
In collision with John Bull's knuckles.
But this Is not the only LMUSO. It fre
quently happened that nn being paid , no
matter where they svcrilcd the gold , It
would vanish In some mysterious way. Hence ,
now they Immediately make tracks for the
"house. " Klip rl\cr , twehe miles south
ot the Golden City , Is their nearest ncltlo-
incnt. They are curious people. "About as
* low as a funeral , " says ono authority , To
get along with them to do business with
them , It Is necessary to maneuver , nnd with
patience. Barney Barnato or some ono of
the other moneyed men would dis
patch an agent to buy a ceitnlu
property from the Dutch. Arriving at
the farm , the representative would mnlle
upon the vrow , take the youngsters on his
knee , nnd call them "mool kinders" ( good
children ) . The mother's heart nl once Is
centered on the stranger , and * uo hastens
to hind him a cup ot coffee With milk , but
IK ) sugar , suddenly the Boer tramps up ,
nnd , taking In the scene at n glance , shakes
the visitor by the hntid. Now the agent rises
to his feet nnd expresses himself as anxious
to look around the property. Nothing loath ,
the owner leads the way. They rtro scarcely
out of sight of the house' , however , when
from an Inner pocket the agent take * a bottle
tle ot brandy and thrusts It forward. A
long and deep pull Is taken , then another ,
nnd lo ! the farm changes hands.
Ono very common maneuver practised by
the Doers Is woithy of btlef mention. They
happen to require an article , and , knowing
where It can be obtained , they set oft without
delay. Arriving at their neighbor's house ,
they pass an hour In Idle chat und return
homeward. Hut half the dlbtnnco Is scarcely
traversed when suddenly they pull up their
horses and retrace their steps. This apparent
afterthought enables them to procure the
needed article a trifle cheaper. But this
dodge won't go down with the Briton or the
American. For whenever n Transvaal son
plays this trick on the aliens , a greater price
Is demanded , and , chuckling to himself , ho

JUAI.OIIS KLIUMIAKTS FIGHT.
Their Ilnttle W H Oirr n llnby I'nohy-
. ill-mi that Until I.ovcil.
A battle buch as Is seldom seen except In
the Jungle or an African forest took placs
recently in the basement of the
shelter hous of the Zoological garden , re
lates the Cincinnati Enquirer. Clanking
chains and shrill , angry cries like bugle blasts
brought all the keepers tothe facene- , with
Superintendent Sol Stephan heading the rush.
Au he threw open the door of the animals'
winter quarters even he drew back In affright ,
being for a moment riveted to the spot by
the spectacle before him. And tt was n spec
tacle that might have appalled a ntoutcr
heart.
In the enclosure reserved for the elephants
stood the huge pachyderms , Hatnec and
Queen , with trunks Interlaced like giant
wrestlers In itho gladiatorial arena. Between
them stood Tommy , the baby elephant ,
trembling as If in abject fear , while he
added his piping cry to the general din. The
chains that held each of the animals by a
hind leg to the wall wore still long enough to
allow them to como together with terrific
force.
Keeper Ed Coin yelled at the maddened
beasts , but his voice failed of Its usual effect ,
and Hnthee , the stronger and more angry
of the two , dragged Queen forward with her
trunic until the cnaln about the latter s
leg was taut. Then as suddenly releasing
her , she brought her ponderous head down
with a crash upon that of her adversary.
Queen bellowed with pain , but , alth6ugh
dazed by the awful shock , she quickly recov
ered , and , lowering her head , sent back a
blow. If not as powerful , still effective enough
to malts Hatnce wince.
While the scene above descrlbd happened
In less time than It takes to tell It , Super
intendent Stephan and his assistants were
not Idle. Stephan , Coin , Schmidt and Hon-
atetter had armed themselves with the heavy
Iron prods used to manage the elephants ,
and climbing over the railing attacked their
flanks. But the sagacious' beasts , although
beyond control In their rage , divined the
movement , nnd as the kespers approached
drove them back with uplifted trunks. Only
for a moment , however , they ceased hostil
ities , and twice more came together in the
terrific combat. Once Queen was almost
thrown upon her haunches by a powerful
blow that Hatnce dealt her with her head ,
and a second time landed a telling stroke
Just behind her ear.
The last shock seemed to be too much for
Queen , for she gladly retreated before the
prod of the keeper , bellowing with rage ,
while the blood trickled down her side where
Hatueo had gored her with her broken tuck.
Hatne- stood her ground sullenly defiant ,
and as Queen retreated she sent out a clarion
note of triumph.
Superintendent Stephan was Just congrat
ulating himself on the fortunate outcome of
the struggle when a now and unforeseen
danger presented Itself , As the keeper
turned upon Hatnep. to drive her back the
length of her chain she suddenly threw out
her trunk , and , encircling the baby elephant
about the neck , raised It on Its hind legs.
For a moment the keepers were nonplussed ,
as they feared to advance for the reason
that In her anger Hatnce might throttle

a iM.tm.il phenoinonon , The upas tree Is
known to have .1 poisonous sap , but the
tlonilly effects attending a visit to It are now
readily explained In nulto a different manner.
This ireo occasionally prows In certain low

In such abundance ns lo bo falnl to animals
tint approach too closely. ThesK ) valleys nro
connected with numerotm volcanoes In the
Island , and the escape of noxious gases may
ho traced dliectly to them. The fa mono
Death Valley of Java was ono of these.
"Therein every living thing which peno-
Irated Iho valley falls down dead , and Iho
soil Is covered with Ihe- carcasses of tigers ,
doer , birds , nnd even the bones of men , all
killed by the exhalations ot carbonic acid gas
with which the bottom of the valley IB filled. "
The accounts of this death valley have
boon shown by Jtinghuhn , n recent Inves
tigator , lo bo much exaKEotaied , for the
"valloy , " Instead of being half n mlle acrosa , '
Is a funnel-shaped depression hardly over '
100 feet In diameter. In the middle of this j
depression la a hole some fifteen feet In dl- [ i
amctcr , from which gaseous emanations are I
given off , which sometimes accumulate to \
envelop man and suffocate animals en the ,
bottom of the hollow , Junghuhn's visit ex- , .
lended ever n period of twelve years , and ho
was thus enabled to study It thoroughly. Ho
found that the amount of gas varied greatly
at different times" , but rarely rose ever two
and onehalffeet above the bottom , On ono
of his visits he found the body of a Javanese
native In Iho depression , nnd on vlslllng It
eighteen months later the same body was r _
there , nnd still umlecomposed , owing to the IT ;
preservative action of the layer of gas.
In the Yellowstone national park , however ,
there Is a locality that la In many ways
worthy to rank with Iho famous Javanese
Death Valley. This place , to which was
given the appropriate name of Death Gulch ,
was discovered In July , 1888 , by Mr. W. H.
Weed of the United States geological survey ,
and the writer. It Is situated In the extreme
northeastern portion of the park , on Cache
creek , several miles above Its confluence with
Lamar river , or the cast fork of the Yellow
stone , as It ta often called. .It Is easily
reached by a horseback rldo of about flve
miles from Soda Buttc. the mall station on
the route between the Mammoth Hot Springs
and the lltllo mining town of Gooke City ,
Mont.
In the center of the former hot spring
area on Cache creek , the creek makes a
broad pool , which "bolls furiously from tuo
action of escaping gas , , and Is , In fact , a
natural soda , water fountain. Small particles
of sulphur.arQ/ilso / floating Jn the , water , and ' " J
are being deposited about the edge of the
pod. Just above the pool1 the crock has cut
through a bank of sulphur and gravel , and a
few yards beyond Is. the dcbousburo of a
small lateral gulloy or gulch coming down
from the mounlaln side. Following up this
gulch we como within a quarter of a mile to
the end , or rather beginning , which Is a
"scoop , " or basin , about 200 feet above the
creek. The bides of Iho gulch , except at the
head , are very steep , and In the bottom flows
a tiny stream of cold , clear water , sour with
sulphuric acid.
Ws were making our way up this tiny
gulch , nnd had Just entered the terminal portion
tion , when our attention was directed to a
huge silver-tip grizzly bear within twenly
yards of us. Ho was In ouch a natural posi
tion that wo supposed him to be asleep , but
a clover Inspection showed him to bedead. .
The body was perfectly fresh and could
hardly have been dead two hours. We ex
amined the body very carefully for bullet
holes or other marks of Injury , but beyond a
few drops of blood under the nose there was
not the slightest trace of vlulence. But dur
ing this examination we were conscloua'of
the near presence of other decomposing ani
mal matter , and a short examination re
vealed the presence of the more or loss de-
compored bodies of four more hears , an elk ,
several squirrels , rock hares , besides numer
ous dead butterflies and other Insects. Ono
of the baaro was a good-sized cinnamon
beir , and was in an advanced stage of decom
position. The other skeletons were almost
denuded of flesh , although the claws and
much of the hair remained.
At first wo were unable to account for this
strange accumulation of dead bodies of ani
mals until a choking sensation of the lungs
suggested the presence of noxtoua gas , and
the death of the animals by asphyxiation.
The hollows were tested with lighted tapora
for the presence of carbonic acid gas with
only plight results , but as a strong wind was
blowing down the gulch at the time the gases
would have been rapidly diffused. A strong
sulphurous odor was present. On a aubsa-
quenl visit , however , there was no wind , nnd
the presence of the carbonic acid gas was
more manifest.
It ts not likely from the natura of the sur
roundings that there Is over a very great ac
cumulation of this deadly gas , for It would
naturally tend to flow down tlto ravluo and
bo rapidly dissipated. If the head ot the
gulch wau a mora marked basin , ns charac
teristic of the Javanese death valley , the ac
cumulation of gas would undoubtedly have
been very marked , and the consequent fatal
ities more. numoroiM. The first animal doubt
less wandered in and was overccmo , and thus
served as a bait to lure- the others In their
turn to destruction. Certain II WUH Hint the
body of thu bear that was froah on. our first
visit was a widely advertised bait , on a second
end visit some weeks later !
As Mr , Weed lias suggested , this gulch
has doubtless served as a deathtrap for a
very long period of time , bul these bodies
and ( skeletons must be Iho remains of only
Iho moit recent vlctlmc , for the ravine Is
S3 narrow and the fall so great that the
channel must ba cleared out every few years ,
If not annually.
Since the discovery In 18S8 , Death Oulcli
has been visited by people residing In the
vicinity , and while It can hardly claim rank
with the death valley of Java , II stands with
out a peer as a natural bear trap.
