o ' 4 Party of Travelers to Spend Four Years in the Shadew of the Andes, \ ENTIRE ROUTE BY WAGON AND HORSEBACK A Il Write Up the Country for A Journals — Another ¥ Denth Valloy - Arizg hood - Northweste ploratie Aftor State- News Colonel B. J. Johnson, an old soldier and a man whose adventures read like a romanc has reached Durango enroute for an over- land trip to South America. He has been outfitting here for a week or more. says the Durango (Colo.) Southy est, and will pull out Wwith his party southward through Farming- ton, and on in a southerly direction for the City of Mexico, and thence on through Cen- tral America, Lima, Peru, Paragnay, Uru- gua Venezue and Brazil, touching at the principal points in those countries that lie in the most feasible route. But as the trip Is largely one of exploration and portions of the country traversed a practical terra Incognita it is difficult to make an urate itinerary. The colonel's party will consist of Colonel C. H. Hamilton, late of the British army and a correspondent for s al English newspapers, who is now enroute from Daltl more and expected to arrive in Durango aturday, Mr. H. P. Griswold of Durango, who goes with the party as mineralogist and civil engineer, and Mr. John Sanders, late of Magdalena, N. M., who is an accomplished Spanish scholar and frontiersman. Colonel Johnson has arranged for a trip lasting four years, and during that time will write a series of letters for a number of the leading eastern papers, Including the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, New York Sun and othe The object of the present expedition s to give an accurate description of the country through which he trave its topography geography, folk-lore and t itions. He is equipped with a very complete dry pl: outfit and camera for taking pictures, and will coplously illustrate his letters, Although provided with pocket maps of the country through which he expects to pass, he has the confession of Colton himself that some of the mountain ranges and rivers in Brazil and other portions of the equatorial region laid down with approximate, not ty. Colonel Johnson will ha H. Millspaugh, a_well known . to Join him at the City of Mexico. The study of this branch of itself will be of great in- terest. Colonel Johnson's outfit in Durango is very complete 1d seems to provide for every pos- sible contingency on the way. Tho colonel will be provided with pass ports, letters of introduction from General McCook to officers of the United States army various places, to General Torres at exico, and a general letter to American absolute Dr. C. bo » consuls. Cardinal Gibbons: has also given the party a general letter commending them to the care and protection of priests’ and bishops of the Catholic church In those coun- tries. The colonel has also special letters of introduction to distinguished private in- dividuals in different parts of South America. Though a portion of the couniry is can- nibalistic, the colonel and party hope to be 0 toughened and trained down by the hard- hips of the trip as to be undesirable addi- tions to the Patagonian bill of fare. The outfit that will leave here is a two- horse wagon, especially arranged for camp- ing, and the party expects to stick to the wagon as long as possible, and when neces- sity requires will use horses and pack an- imals. DEPTH OF DEATH VALLEY. R. B. Marshall of the United States Geo- logical survey, who last year spent some months exploring the Yosemite, left the other day on a perilous trip to Death valley. Mr. Marshall will be accompanied only by a Chinese cook and one white man. The object of the trip is to ascertain the actual depression of the valley below the level of the sea. It has for a fong time beon known that it was several hundred feet below sea level in some places, says the San Francisco Examiner, but just how much has always been a problem. Increased interest has been taken in the desert ever since the waters of the Colorado ran in via the New river and created Salton sea. It might be regarded singular that so small a party should be sent to brave the dangers of the desert. Mr. Marshall is con- fident, however, that he can do the work and return successful. He is a man of about 30 years and apparently very plucky. I shall go from here by rail to Keeler, Nev.,” he sald. *‘At Carson I will stop and get three small barrels, which T shall use to carry water in. I shall lay in what bacon, beans, sugar and coffee I need. I expect to subsist on a dict that will require as little water as possible. /l‘ “I have three horses now at Lone Pine, ai nd these will be properly accoutred with pack saddles. As for myself, my man and ook, we will walk. We will have about 115 miles to go before T get to work with my Y level, which is the only instrument I will take, In doing this T will have to as far as possible skirt the ridges in order to strike what little water and feed there may be. “We will have to cross a lofty and bare mountain range—8,000 feet high—between the Panamint and Death valleys. T am not a naturalist, and therefore I shall make no collections, as did the C. Hart Merriam and Wheeler government expeditions to certain sections of Death valley. “This Is the only expedition that has ever been sent out by the government to find the actual depressions of the valley, and it is problematical how low it is. The barometer has been found to vary 100 feet in a short distance. You can't get vertical angles, and the whole thing is mixed up. I do not expect to return before July. It is frighttully hot, as every one knows, and I do not expect an easy time of it.” PROSPECTS OF ARIZONA. “Arizona will be admitted to statehood before the present session of congress ad- Journs," said H. C. Baker, chief justice of tho supreme court Arizona, not long ago o a reporter of the San Francisco Call. “The published statement that the people of Arizona are not In favor of being ad- mitted to the union is totally without foundation, It is the rare excepiion where a resident of the territory is not heartily anxious for the senate to pass the bill, and we ure all confident that as soon as the tariff bill and a few other measures that at present seem to have the right of way can be lald aside for a day the bill will pass the senate by as popular a vote us saw Its passage in the house. Then Arizoha will see an era of prosperity such as it has never experienced befere Judge Baker Is very enthusiastic on the question of the territory’s welfare and is exerting every effort, In company with the other prominent men of the territory, to secure the territory’s admission to the union “Very few people outside of the terri- understand how we are hampered by the Harrison act,” he said. “We are not permitted to incur an indebtedness be- yond 4 per cent of the assessed valuation of our property, and as a result we can- not build bridges or court hou or pend any money for improvements. How- over, a wonderful progress has been made in the development of the district about Tuscon recently, The North and South railroad, as we call it, has but sixty more miles to cover to reach Tuscon, and we expect to see the road completed this fall, Tuscon has already commenced to feel the effects of the railroad’s approach, “There hus been an active stir in real estats in the past six weeks, and a number of min- ing sales In the district about Prescott have bosn recorded lately. I believe there is more prospecting being done in Arizona at tho present time than at any previous time in the h of the territor and many small ledges that have heretofore been ignored are being grabbed up rapidly.” Judge Baker says he is intensely sorry that Arlzona made 0 feoblo an effort to exhibit its resources at the Midwinter fair, and ls confident that the territory Is losing the greatest opportunity in its history of adver- tising Itself. *You see, we were taken In on the World's fair. Some $30,000 was sub- ribed, and It was Squandered on an ex- hibit that is not to be compared with the one we have at the Midwinter falr. And that only cost $1,000.
