PARK NOTES.

appointed by Governor Hale of Wyom
ing to represent the National Park a
the New Orleans Exposition. Supt
4. E. Carpenter authorized him t,
make full collection as far as HI
could without mutilating the geysel
cones. Assistants Weimer, Cannon
and Terry aided him at the Upper
Geyser Basin, and also supervised the
collection so us to conserve the inter.
ests Of the Park. Mr.. Clarke goes
east this week with splendid assert.
ment of crystals. petrifactions. obsid-
ian, paint from the paint pots, petrified
wood of all kinds. The collection
will EN- brace several tons of the most
beautiful and valuable specimens
gathered throughout the Park. 1t
will give wider advertisement of
Wonderland than could posi- bly, be
done in any other way.
The road is now open but not COM
pleted between the Springs and Gar
| diner. In some places the road is too
+, narrow to let teams pass each other,
but even in that and in other re-
spects it is a thousand times better
than the old road. There are several
substantial bridges with strong rail.
ings, SO that the most careless drivers
could not drop off. On the 22nd all
work was suspended on the roads. It
is reported that Lieut.. kingman will
arrange to have E. Lamartine con-
struct another bridge over the Gardi.
ner at the mouth of the Boiling
river. Mr.. Kingman is apprehensive
lest the high water next spring should
imperll the lives of teams or travellers
at this ford. There can be no danger
from ice. rs there are several thou
sand barrels of boiling water, equal to
about one fifth of the river, elnpties
into the Gardiner just above the ford,
etfectually preventing the formation
Of ice.
The Golden Gate road will not he
opened until next spring This is the
most perfect piece of road work that
has ever been undertaken in this Park
or any other. 1t will he model for
all future engineers. The stone work
will not exceed the estimated cost.
but the entire cost Of the road will be
greater on account of it's width and
the reduction of grades by costly fill
ing and blasting. The falls, the
painted rocks, the towering cliffs. the
beautiful curves and crescentS, will
make Klngman Pass one of the
most beautiful spots IN the whole
Park. photographers. painters, and
all lovers of the sublime and the beau
tiful, will now have easy access to and
from this delightful scenery.
Rev. Joseph Cook, the eminent
Christian lecturer, is among the gey
sers under the guidance of NJ. E. Met

visit of the season. The great speaker
will no doubt be greatly benefited by
seeing the great spouters deliver a
lecture as fine as those ''sermons in
stones and lectures in running BROOKS
