THE GRAND CANON. .
Six Thousand Feet from the Light Of
Day,

What words are to be used, unaided
by pencil or brush, when one seeks to
describe what the canon Of the Colorado
river really is? Its magnitude, it's
solemnity, the awful depth, the rushing
waters, the towering cliffs, all speak to
us, but we can not speak of them. Man
is dwarfed by nature, abashed by her
grandeur, silenced by the exhibition Of
her powers. Imagine the scene. A
yellow-hued stream, rushing like a gust
of angered wind along 8 rock.strewn
bed and between a line of dark-hued
cliffs. Look upward a Thousand feet,
and rocks look angrily down; gaze up
another thousand feet, another, and
still another, and there are the same
dark proved monsters glaring down
upon you and upon the river. Look up
again and now gaze for 5000 feet into
the air toward the heavens, and you can
still see rough edged rocks, all outlined
against the sky, oyer mile in height
aw2t, throwing up plnnacles and towers,
and domes and isolated peaks, Clipped
and SCARED, and dark, massive and
irregular. The light of day is aimmed,
the place is full of loud, hoarse roars,
the air is chilled, and the river, lashed
into foaming fury, leaps madly along
it's course. Here are shadows that
Rembrandt would have, gloried in here
Dore might have copied nature and
added to bis fame, Here is the road to
Dante's sombre halls. One stands
within the very bowels Of the earth,
with all light and brightness lost to
view. He sees the work OF ages, the
result of mighty power. The earth is
cleft in twain; it is as though a noun
tain, tall and strong, had been halyed by
some sharpened sword. Six thousand
feet Of stony depth! Six thousand feet
beneath the light of day! There are nc
pleasant smiles of nature to be seen.
No flowers grow, no shrubs appear, nc
birds are visible. Dark are the tower.
ing walls, and darker still their shadows,
while the towers take on most uncouth
shapes, and the river runs out OF black
ness to us and into darkness from us, a
puny monster in comparison with its
prison, a hayward child held in stern
! rebuke.
From the tops Of the cliffs which
form the Colorado's canon the river
winding at their base is like strand
of gold. But it needs strong nerve to
look from the great height into The
depths below. Drop stone and the
splash it would make upon striking the
| water could not be seen. Even The
noise the river makes is not audible,
and the stream seems to flow noiselessly
along its dark and rugged course.
Turning from gaze into the canon, and
looking about the country, the deep
rent is seen stretching far away to the
east and west, while in the distance are
tall trees and rocks and bare brown
hills. One questions why tho canon
was made and how--whether worn by
the river or formed by volcanic action.
But whatever the cause, it is a strange
freak Of nature, rivalling, with its
grandeurs, all other sights, inviting
comparisons but challenging compe-
tition. All other canons of the wild
Southwest, where rivers delight to wind
in darkened places, sink into insignifi-
canoe when compared to this of the Rio
Colorado.

Monster Railroad SHOW.

The aboye-named united world s
fair of living wonders, including
the most stupendous menagerie,
caravan, museum and circus ever
organized, Will mass its multitude
of amusements and marvels at
Carson on Tuesday, June 23rd.
Not only is it an entirely new,
bright and brilliant, but also a
massive, solid, honest railroa&
show, owing to its splendid outfit
of cars, bringing savage Nature, in
all the majestic illustrations of her
living lessons, directly to your
doors, and added thereto a greater
and purer circus than you have
ever seen. No such collection of
rare wild beasts and birds haye
ever before been concentrated
under canvas. Every continent
has contributed to its complete
ness, as every equestrian orgsniz-
alton of the great foreign capitals
and every leading gymnasium
school of the world has furnished
representatives to complete the
largest and most brilliantly artistic
circus ever organized on this con-
tinent, and one in which each per-
former is special star, and one
and all simply Incompatible; while
words of humorous folly and
varied programme of astonishing
animal acts complete an entertain
ment which is the very acme Of
a1enic achievement.

rious kinds of ores Monday. He has
rich chloride and sulphuret silver

and samples Of nickel and cobalt

carrying galena, three nickel leads.
and fourteen carrying silver, which
crop out in the district, with
