VOLCANO VOLCANO!
The "patent insides" papers of
'yoming have published, and the
Dry has been extensively copied into
stern journals, that We have a
,aby) volcano in Browns rark,
,actly where L have as yet been IN
Die to learn; but az l have during
" soiourn in that vicinity been
andering al over the entire couD-
y, l think am safe in saying that
Ie reported volcano exists in some
llow's imagination. The story is a
useless fabrication with even less OF
nth in It's composition than exists in
lie average Jack Harksway adven-
ire. Plus ULTRA.
