A CITY NOT MADE WITH HANDS.
Half way across this sandy plsin two
or three blue specks we're visible, which,
our guide informed us, we're salt lakes /;
also, that it was from the shores of these
lakes that the Spaniards formerly procur.
ed their salt, and evea the present inhab-
itants of the territory used it to q large
extent. lie said, hat in close proximity
to these lakes was a very peculiar sand
stone formation, well worth seeing: and.
as all were but a few miles distant from
our direct route. We determined to visit
them. Bringing our glasses to bear upon
that portion of the plain pointed out to US
by the guide, we saw what seemed to us
to be a large city, with its spires and
donies and towers glitering in the bright
sunlight, and rivalling in splendor even
the creations of the geuii conjured by
''Aladdin's wonderful lamp"
We now descend the mountain, and are
once more upon the plain.
Upon reaching a beautiful stream that
comes trickling down the sides OF a rocky
canon, we encamped for the night.
