Recently, says the Carson New appeal,

There are many persons, even in Lundy,
says the Homer Mining Inder, who are not
aware of the fact that at the head of Mill

from town, is one OF the grandest water
falls in the world. An immense body of
water from natural reservoir comes
thindering down into the canyon ever a
perpendicular bluff, making a sheer de-
scent of something over 500 feet. It is not
puny trickle- feathery cascade-but a
grandly terrible torrent of water that
shakes the earth and deasens the beholder
with its ceaseless roar, which would be
plainly heard in Lundy were it not for the
NOISE and din OF the creek. 1t is one of
the grandest sights imaginable, and will be
ranked among the wonders of the coast.
