IN Placer County, situated just ten

Snrings and its surroundings with the
sTdeni hope that many in Salt Lake
citv NAV read this rambler's story. and
Setsrmi1e to try this place during the
S1Itrv DAYS of summer. The little vii

Mark Hopkins, the widow of Califor-
MAS great millionaire, cosy neat
nnilding for sleeping apartments for
Gentlemen, and last, but not the. least
nav he counted the old palace OF that
noted civil engineer, Colonel A. w. Won
Schmidt of Blossom Rock fame. In
fbis conjunction we may mention a few
facts concerning the enthusiastic
ColoDel's romancing. In 1870 he con-
oeiyed the idea that he could supply
San Francisco with water from Lake
Tahoe. 1t was an undertaking which
would require at least sixteen millions
or more Of hard cash, and would have
caused De Lesseps to ponder much. To
accomplish his purpose, Colonel Won
Schmidt would have to tunnel through
five miles of the Sierra Nevadas and
wears would be passed in its completion.
Through some mishap the scheme fell
through and the gallant engineer left
for buster scenes and finally achieved
his name and fame by blowing up Bios
som Rock in the harbor of San Francis
co. The remains of once quite sub
stantial residence is still to be seen and
WhenIan inquiring tourist asks what it is
he is told it is lyon Schmidt folly" In
1872 the Springs opened for the first
time and with several summers of closed
doors, this popular resort is soon to
throw them open again and entertain
the foot sore and the weary in most
hOspitable stvle. The water of which
the urbane proprietor boasts is soda
water with large amount of iron in it,
and Is very nearly a cure-all. We have
been bothered with constipation and
telt otherwise broken up" and we feel
as lively as q cricket at present and
claim this fejuvenating to nothing
more than the water. To all who like
TO hunt, this is the place. The Sierras
are filed with deer, bear, mountain
lions, and numerous smaller game;
While the patrons of fishing tackle can
have most excellent sport in the Ameri
