THE YOSEMITE VALLEY.

So much has been said and writ
ten Of the wonderful grandeur Of
this "Garden of Eden" situated
on the summit of the Sierra Neva-
da mountains, that we deem worthy
of reproduction the following ex-
tracts from a lecture by Mr., J. M
Hutchins the first settler of the
valley.
The Yosemite Valley is a deep
mountain-walled gorge, sleeping
in the very heart of the Sierra Ne
vedas, about $50 miles east of San
Francisco, and Within twenty-five
miles Of their topmost crest. 1t i,
a little over seven miles in length,
and from a half o mile to a mile
and a quarter in width, exclusive
Of the debris at the foot of its walls
Its total area, according TO the re-
port Of the Commissioner of the
General Land Office at Washington
comprises $50 acrtS, 3,l09 Of
which are meadow land.
"The altitude of the bottom or
meadow is 4,060 feet above the
sea, while o either side the walls,
which are a beautiful gray granatc
of many shades, rise to the height
of from 1900 TO 5000 feet above
the valley. lis general course is
