LAND OF MIRAGES
Death Valley and Its Treacherous
Lures of Beauty.
WORK OF A GOOD SAMARITAN.
Bsok. the Proepeotor, Who Has Mads
. tha Desert Bloom With Guldsposts
Pointing the Way to Water and
8avad Many Man From Otath.
.' In the American Magazine Is an arti
cle about Lew Westcott Beck, who is
known as the "good Samaritan of
Death valley." He and bis dog, Ru
ins, have saved many prospectors from
a horrible death by making tbe desert '
blossom witb guldepoms showing tbe
way to water. Tbe following is an ex
tract from tbe article:
"Time was when Beck was a plain
prospector in the Cripple Creek coun
try. He was In on tbe diggings at
Leadville. and be panned around in
Montana awhile. Likewise be rushed
Into tbe Big Horn at the time of tbe
mineral strike there, but be never
struck a lead that made him rich.
. "Eventually he drifted down through
Nevada and into Death valley, chasing
rainbows. Wild rumors about 'Death
Valley' Scotty's big find In that section
electrified the country, and scores of
prospectors rushed into tbe desert ex
pecting to make their fortune in a few
days. Beck was 'among those pres
ent' '
' "There were several In Beck's party.
Tbey blked many miles through tbe
mirage land, finding nothing worth
while and worrying constantly lest
tbey exhaust tbelr supply of water.
For two days tbey sought water holes,
and wben out of water tbey went for
hours wltb tongue swollen and lips
parched from want of moisture. Then
wben death seemed Inevitable tbey
suddenly discovered a tiny stream
trickling out of a cunyon at tbe base
of the Panamlnt mountains.
"Wben Beck returned to civilization
be was a changed man. He bad seen
sands tbat were strewn with skulls,
and that eight bad put a big idea Into
bis bead.
"Came spring, and Beck made an
other trip through Death valley. At
bis side was a Newfoundland dog.
Tbe prospectoi carried a bundle of tin
strips. They were signboards to guide
the wanderers' steps aright
"Each summer since then tbe pros
pector and bis dog have made a Jour
ney to tbe land of tbe purple mist pil
ing up rocksi and attaching signs to
tbem. searching for lost travelers and
incidentally keeping a' lookout for a
piece of prectous metal. Ouce or twlee
Rufus tins led hl(j mastei; to prospectors
who. after long suffering from thirst
had fallen upon tbe burning sands to
die.
"In slgnboardlng tbe desert Beck has
saved a number of thirst mad rain
bow chasers and has also In remote
districts stumbled upon tbe bleaching
bones of dead men who may have
found fortunes In the silver sulpburet
district but who did not live to tell
tbe world about it At one time be as
sisted at tbe burial of four men wbo
died of thirst within two miles of a
spring.
"The country that Beck traverses Is
cbe most arid section of the American
continent a dreary stretch of hun
dreds of miles of desert dotted here
and there wltb foothills, buttes, dry
creek beds, chaparral, prickly pear and
sagebrush. Springs are miles upon
miles apart Most of them are bitterly
alkali, and some are poison.
"On an ordinary , summer afternoon
tbe thermometer runs up to about 134
degrees in the shade out in Death val
ley, and the most unpleasant thing
about It Is tbat there Is a dearth of
shade. Wben man ventures out npon
this trackless expanse the shimmering
heat dazes him. the scarcity of water
crazes him. and tbe mirage treacher
ous, lying thing of beauty that It Is
looms ever before blm, flashing upon
the canvas of his mind's eye a verdnnt
valley, gorgeously green with growing
things, fresh with flowers, wet wltb
water and waiting to welcome him.
"He can see grassy bill slopes Just
ahead, and -the mirrored lake appears
to lip just hoyontl some beckoning
meadow, t; He follows on and on and
afterward drains the last drop from
his canteen Then his throat becomes
parched, his tongue cleaves to the roof
of his mouth, and strange things pass
before his eyes. .The buzzard? begin
to soar over him. and the coyotes sit
UpOn their hunkers and watch him
chnse rainbows until he pitches for
ward upon his face and closes bis eyes
upon a worid that Is too mysterious
and merciless for him to linger In
longer." ,

It does .not weary of It like men fid
