An Extinct Volcano.

Leaving the road at Market Lake and
bidding farwell to the last ranch we see
for many weeks, we struck out across the
country towards our objective point, the
Yotons," which now doomed up before
us in the form OF sharks teeth. Passing q
sharp butte about 1000 feet in height,
the geologists were somewhat puzzled in
regard to its formation. The rock resem-
bled basalt, but presented soft sandstone
appearance OH inspection. MIR. Stevenson
having made the ascent. reported it to be
an extinct volcano. After dinner a party
was organized to explore this interesting
discovery. Crossing the plain we
made the ascent after climb of half an
hour, and were well repaid for cur efforts.
A narrow wall ofigneous rock, about fifty
feet in thickness at the crest, encircled the
crater, the bottom of which was on a level
with tho plain we had left below. The
circle was broken on the side facing the
camp, thus showing the direction OF the
lava flow and explaining the geographic
cal phenomena which had mystlfed' us
at first. Professor Bradley said the has.
attic overflow had taken place under the
water and disintegrated by the rapid cool
ing, had formed a volcanic sandstone when
cemented. The formation is Of rare oc.
currence and will add another feature, be-
sides this discovery Of the "Quabec
Group" in the geological report. Stop
ping to rest after our climb. "a beautiful
landscape spread out before us. Hehry's
fork, with its tributaries, wonnd across
the plain, and was lost among the hills be-
You'd. The jagged rocks ct the foot of
the mountain on which we were, stood out
in bold relief, assuming fantastic shapes,
one of which we called "Kenilworth.
Castle" from its resemblance to that noble
ruin. Continuing around the rim of the
crater to the other side, Snake River pro.
per stretched across the valley till lost to
view, pursuing its course toward the great
Pacific Ocean. We now descended into
the crater, and, as we stood in the NINA
ture p irie, ] was reminded of the crater
of Pc oil, near Naples, the sulphurous
smell rom the still active cave alone
being auting to complete the resemblance

Natural Decay-Protcct the system.

The human body is machine, and therefore
cannot endure forever but, like watch or sew
ing machine, 1t will last much longer if properly
regulated and duly repaired than if no pains were
taken to keep it in ORDER The great object Of every
one who desires long and healthy life should be to
put his body in condition to resist the life threat
enins influences by which we are all more or less
surrounded; and no invigorant and corrective at
present known so effectively answers this purpose as
the vitalizng elixir which under the unpretending
name OF Hostetters Stomach Bitters, has been for
more than twenty years the standard tonic of
America. In crowded cities, where the atmosphere
ID contaminated with the efiuvia inseparable from
large populations; In marshy regions, where the
soggy SOIL reeks with masma on the prairies and
IN the forests, where every fall the air is tainted
with exhalations from roting weeds and grasses or
deoomposng leaves-n short in every locality where
malaria exists, this powerful vegetable antidote is
urgently needed. Fever and ague, bilious fevers,
dysentery congestion of the liver, jaundice rh h-
matsm, and all diseases which are generated by in
fected air, impure water or sudden changes of tenn
perature, may be averted by strengthening and
regulating the system in advance with Hostetters
Bitters. Autumn is always season of peril, espec-
Tally to weak susceptible organizations. Even the
more vigorous are apt to be in some measure do
pressed by the humid atmosphere, loaded with
deleterlous gases produced by vegetable decay.
Inc rail- ls period of the year when the renovation
and regulation Of the living machine is peculiarly
important, and the Bitters should therefore be
taken daily at this critical season. ...... ?.

Watching for Papa.

She always stood upon the steps,
Just by the cottage door,
Waiting to kiss me, when l came,
Each night, home from the store.
Her eyes were like two glorious stars,
Dancing in heavens own blue;
"Papa," she'd call, like awee bird,
"I's lootin' out for gou."
Alas how sadly do our lives
Change as we onward roam;
For now no birdie voice calls out
To bid me welcome home.
No little arms stretch out to me,
No blue eyes, dancing bright,
Are peeping from the cottage door,
When come home at night.
And yet, it comforts me to think
That when I'm called away
From scenes below, to those of bright
And everlasting day,
A little angel at the gate,
With eyes devinely blue,
Will call with birdie voice, "Papa,
rs lootin' out for YOU"

We have veritable silver excitement
at present, caused by discoveries made
about fifteen miles west of US, several miles
south OF the lake, in the Iron river section
An explorer named Corser has been hv-
ing there for some years,past.
= He has from time to time shown speci-
mems of native silver to his friends and
others, but always declined naming where
they were found, as he was not quite ready
for action. Of late his specimens were Of
SO much value that several parties became

and of establishing him in the ownership
of portion of the land. The matter,
however, eliminated some days ago by his
meeting with Mr.. Archie Mackellar n
successful explorer on the Moth Shore,

terested, and combination was formed.
They have since purchased the land. and
find and exhibit specimens of native silver
and silver glance which they state they
have traced on promising vein for about
200 feet. The quantities they show are
sufficient indication that the silver is in
good supply, and if surface specimens can
be relied on must be very valuable.
Spectators are taking UP lands in the vi
cinity, and there will doubtless be scene
of some activity before long.

Homes in The West.

At no former time in the history of
the country has there been so deep, so
widespread, and so intelligent an interest
felt in the matter of migration and
Western settlement as now. The rapid
construction of railroads which pene-
.trate the fertile but hitherto unoccupied
areas of our new Northwestern States
and Territories, thus rendering accessi-
BILE and valuable millions of acres of
land which would otherwise have lain
waste for scores of years, has given a
wonderful impetus to the Westward
tide of population.
A-large portion of both foreign and
American migration will henceforth
naturally and inevitably flow into that
new Northwest, now for the first made
accessible by the building of the North
ern Pacific Railroad. The belt of coun
try traversed by the route of this thor
oughfare WISCONSIN, Minnesota, Dako-
ia, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and
Oregon1 has such characteristics of soil
and climate as to render it's speedy
settlement and prosperous cultivation
certain.
The Northern Pacific Company is
now selling its lands in Minnesota, and
the facilities and helps which it furnish
es to settlers and colonies greatly re-
duce where they do not wholly remove
the "hardships" of pioneer life. For
example transportation atreduced rates
is'furnished from nearly all parts of
the country to the line of the N. p.
Road, and if settler buys forty acres
or more of railroad land he and his
whole family are carried free over the
N. p. Road when going to settle.
Then at three different points, on the
road large and elegant reception houses
have been built and fitted up with con-
veniences for single persons, families
and colonies. Settlers no matter wheth.
erthey locate on free Government home
steads or purchase railroads lands, en-
ter these reception houses on leaving
the cars and use them free of charge,
as temporary home while engaged in
selecting land and building dwellings
of their own.
The company has fixed low prices on
its lands, gives seven years credit to
purchasers, and receives in payment at
ten per cent. premium its own first
mortgage bonds which are now selling
ut par, and which are favorite invest
ment throughout the country.
There are now few localities in the
West where good Government land for
free homestead entry can be found near
to railroads and markets. The North
ern Pacific Road has been so recently
built through Minnesota, that there
are, close TO its line, plenty of public
lands of the finest quality awaiting
homestead settlement and they are
being rapidly taken. Large numbers
OF soldiers who, under the new law of
Congress, obtain free homesteads of
160 acres, near railroads by one and
two years residence are locating on the
line OF the Northern Pacific. Soldiers
and all others who think of seeking
homes in the West can obtain full in.
