s Curious u 0uniaID.

Fifteen miles North OF Atlanta,
(la.. rises Stone mountain. Though
frequently visited by picnic parties
from that section, it is not as
ecncrllay know as its grandeur
merits. America boasts many
higher mountains, this measuring
hui 100 feet, bat has few showing
such remarkable beauties. The cir
conference Of this mountain at the
base is iyc miles. For more than
one mile it rises abruptly 800 feet,
Is nearly four times as high as
Bunker Hill mountain, and nearly
rs straight. thcn slopes gradually
to the summit. or course the
ascent fom this side is impsslblc,
and on every side eycept one is
accomplished with great difficulty.
The view from the summit well
repays ihc efforts as, in addition
/ TO the usual charms Of a Southern
landscape, one can readily distin-
cuish Lookout aud Kennesaw
mountains, so interesting from their
/ Eislorical association.
Stone mountain is composed OF
a fine, light cclored granite. In
some places where exposed to the
actiou Of sun and water it has be-
come striped, having the appea-
rance of pieces Of bright carpeting
banging over the precipice. Scat
tered over the mountain are bOul-
dcrs, some of immense size and
worn by water into curious forms.
! The Greeks of old would assign
I its formati0n to some god or god
doss and surround it with fascinat-
ing myths. We moderns would
rather lcverenily ascribe it to the
one Coeaior while curiousIy study
inc the means He chose to employ.
No grasses grow on this noun
tain, bnt its absence is supplied by
reddish moss found only in high
attitudes. Occasionally a stunted
\ cedar appears, presenting a peculiar
appearance. Not only is the trunk
itsclftwistcd by the force of the
wind. but each branch shows an
UNEQUAL conflict with unseen forces.
AT the foot Of the mountain axalias
afford q wealth of bloom in their
season. At least seven shades ap
pear, varying from white to deer
red. A yellow variety also abounds
Tehse, with a belt Of woodland
furnish setting worthy the beauty
of this iewel.
Stone mountain has given it
name TO a village about mill
t away where dwellcrs in heateC
cites may sometimes breathe pur'
air. In looking upon so much o
beauty and grandeur they ma.

posed to them was a little camp OF
Americans, who had elected their
own "alcalde," or chief officer OF
the camp, the previous autumn,
BY the united action of the Ameri-
cans, the foreign invasion, for il
can hardly be called less, as many
of the Mexicans came in armed
bands, was held. in check, con-
trolled, and finally conquered and
partially dispersed before the close
Of the eventful year Of "Forty
-nine.r In some Of the American
camps, "good and true men, were
at once chosen alcaldes; in some
the direct intervention Of "AIiners'
Courts was preferred; in camps Of
a third class, committee govern
ment was resorted to. But govern
ment of an efficient and judiciOus
sort, the Americans in the invaded
region secured for and of them
selves.
The mountain land over which
mining became for years the chief
industry of men was region fitted
by nature to attract and firmly hold
the affections of a hardy and ener-
getic race. Its physical features
are most inspiring even now, when
the valleys and foothills are sub
dued to agricultural purposes. But
when the miners of Forty-nine be-
gan to pitch their tents in the
wilderness it was unfenced, un-
claimed, and almost unexplored.
Everywhere the land had charm
for men that no language can de-
scribe; all the letters, journals and
books of the time strive vainly to
express the beauty of the rushing
rivers and emerald valleys nestled
under Alpine SHOWS. Flowers of
new species and wonderful beauty,
now naturaIized citizens of the
worlds gardens, bloomed on slope
and crag; trees of hitherto un-
imagined grandeur stood in the
forests, the climate of Sierra foot
hills was the climate Of Italy. From
the sea-lIke valley Of the Sacra-
mentO eastward through rolling,
oak-clad hills, to the broad plateaus
and granite heights, and pointed
peaks piercing the brilliant azure
skies with their everlasting white
ness, the ardent miners reached
every gulch, ravine, "basin," "can-
on" "Aat," and "bench," traced
every stream to its source, and in
four or FIVE years Of reckless, eager
toll did the exploring and subduing
work that has usually taken a
generations labor to accomplish in
other communities. They spread
out in every direction from Nor
mons Bar and the Sacramento and
Feather River region, hunting for
/ cold south ward to desert sands and
borax deposits of MOjave, north
ward to the lava beds of Modoc,
westward into the widest recesses
of the coast range, eastward to
where the sage.brush plains OF
Nevada begin. They established
Redding Springs, riffled the Trinity
placers of their riches, discovered
the deposits of klamath, Sirk'you
and Northern Oregon. They even
went waist-deep into the ocean, and
brought back tales of beaches gold
spangled by
"all the storms
That hurled their ancient weary white
topped waves
On California since the world began"
