The writer spent one year on the "bad lands" in Dakota and INIontana, which are a Paradise compared to Death Valley. 29 The underflow of the desert rivers have re- cently been investigated by government en- gineers. It is claimed that the subterranean velocity of the Mojave river is the greatest of them all, but is neutralized to a great extent by the cross-sections of the underflow at the nar- rows. There is no doubt that some of the des- ert rivers are fed in their subterranean beds from spri...ngs arising from a deeper flow from the Rocky Mountains. All the streams, after leaving the canons, sink into the sand and wind their way to the ocean in their subterranean channels. Death Valley proper is about eighty miles long, running from south to north, and from five to twenty miles wide. At its lowest point, according to scientific men, it is 417 feet be- low sea level, where its "climate" is oppres- sive and intolerably hot, where all poisonous reptiles shun it as they would a sand-blast, where the coyotes, wild-cats, skunks and other quadrupeds do not relish this fathomless quag- mire, with its thin crust, composed largely of slimy mud, heavily charged with borax, ni- trates, copperas, alkalis, potash and other crys- tallized materials, is about ten miles from foot- hills to foothills.
