NEW VOLCANO ROUTE.

oULARs OF THE TRp.
There is without doubt on this and
the other islands of the group n
large number of persons who have
never yet visited the wonderful
active crater of Kilauea, not because
of the expense but on account Of the
journeh being too hard. To have to
ride thirty miles after a journey by
steamer is too much to undertake,
though to see one of the wonders of
the world, it would almost appear as
il any difficulties might be overcome.
And then again the time it occupied,
from seven to ten days, was another
barrier in the way. Tourists whose
time was limited have come and
gone, being unable to see the vol
cano, because they could not remain
over another steamer. However,
there is no excuse now, for thanks to
the enterprise of Hon. S. G. Wilder,
President of the Wilder Steamship
Co., the trip can be made there and
back in four days fourteen hours, CIV
ing twenty-four hours at the crater.
Not only that, but the circuit of the
largest island of the group is made,
and trip on the cars for twenty
miles through rich cane country with
fine scenery is included. Whatever
enterprise Mr.. Wilder undertakes he
carries through successfully, and all
we have to do to prove such an
assertion is simply to mention the
existence of the Marine Railway and
the Mahukona Railway, both great
Blooms to the country and giving en-
ployment to many.
IMPROVEMENTS.
On the goth of this month the
Volcano House and the land adioin-
ing, including the landing of Keau-
hou came into the possession of the
Wilder Steamship Company. A gang
of Cinnamon, section hands from
Mahukona, were at once put to work
on the road, the first four miles of
which is up pail, the remaining ten
miles being beautiful ride through
the woods, almost level. The road
up the pail is very easy for travel,
and in the short space of time the
men have worked wonders. 1t is so
carefully laid out that a child could
find the way very easily. The
scenery through the woods is beauti-
full all the way, and the distance
from the landing to the Volcano
House has been made in two hours
and thirty minutes, while from the
House to the landing only two hours
and ten minutes have been con-
sumed. The Volcano House is being
improved, a new dining hall is to be
built, new rooms added and the
whole place fitted up as first-class
hotel where parties can 60 and stay
as long as they want to. MIR. j. III.
Maby has been placed there as man
ager and intends doing all in his
power for the comfort of his guests.
In a few weeks his wife will join
him, thus making it much more
pleasant for lady visitors to have
someone to attend specially to them.
Hereafter the s. s. Kinau will leave
on the Tuesday after the Sth and
22nd of each month, on which dates
the steamers Alameda and Mariposa
arrive, and make the Volcano route
If the 9Th or 22nd falls on Tuesday
the Kinau will leave on that day fol-
the Volcano route. All other trip.
to Hilo and return as heretofore
The fare for the round trip is $50
which includes everything-steamer
hotel, horses and guide.
