The Bloody Canyon.

A correspondent of the San Francis
co Chronicle, who has been exploring
the Sierras in the vicinity of the Yose-
mite, thus describes the Bloody Cam
yon," which lies about forty miles from
the valley: Toward evening we neared
the head OF the Bloody Canyon, at what
is known as the Mono Pass. Never be-
fore had we gazed on such scene of
barrenness and utter desolation as that
which was now open before us. Being
so near night the effect was doubly en-
HANGED. To the west the sun was vet
an hour high, and was tingeing here and
there the snow-covered granite with
blood-red spots, while the shadow in
tervals were Of the color of blued steel,
but to the east and below us il was to
all intents and purposes night. An oc-
casional sparkle at our feet, very far be-
low, denoted the presence of lake,
and the muffled roar and hiss also told
OF waterfalls, probably cascades in the
outlets of the various lakes, which,
from description, we knew existed il,
this canyon, but now could not see.
The canyon is the usual V-shaped
gorge of all the California canyons.
But this one is giant among pygmies.
The northern slope is at least s, 900 feet
deep, and the southern one fully 1000
feet in depth. And we find from
sketches made at the time that the an
gle of the slopes is as sharp as sixty or
seventy degrees, with many perpen-
dicular faces Of 800 or 1000 feet. Now,
in this evening light, the top of the
great cliffs was Of deep purple-red,
with black-purple shadows; the face to
the north was series of great ridges,
running vertically in parallel lines to
the slant of the rock, and each ridge
notched and broken up into series of
saw-like indentations. The shadows of
the Sierra were projected below far out
on to the broken plain, but ceased at
the foot of volcanic-looking mountain
on the edge of Mono Lake. The lake
and the distance were in a beautiful
rosy light where the sun struck the
ground beyond the shadows. The gen.
eral effect was grand beyond descrip-
ton.

MISCELLANEOUS.

News of q terrible disaster comes
from Zacatecas, in Mexico. Twelve miles
from that city is situated the celebrated
Santo-Tiburcio de Laveta Grande Mine, that
has produced ever since the Spanish con.
quest, yielding untold millions of silver dur
ing that time. Within the past few years it
has been newly developed and fitted through
out with the most costly modern
machinery. The work OF recovering
and reopening old portions of the great
mine had been in progress for some time. and
was approaching completion. Large guam
titles of timber and other material, includ-
ing blasting powder, had been kept on hand.
Suddenly an explosion occurred, plainly
heard at Zacatecas. Five hundred cases Of
giant powder had gone of by some means
unknown. Ten persons we're killed outright,
and as many more wounded. The mine and
everything near it was complete wreck.
The surface improvements were totally de-

Rattlesnake Oil.

have heard, within very modern
days, of rattlesnake's oil prescribed as
febrifuge, and for divers other all
ments, while its value in rheumatism is
regarded by few persons with doubt.
The demand for it is shown by the fact
that the serpents are often hunted sys-
tematically in order that quantities of
their oil may be obtained. That was
the object the men of Warren County,
N. Y, had in killing the /, 100 snakes,
of which DR.. Kay gives an account.
Every summer, to this day, citizens of
Portland, Ct, go to the rattlesnake
lodges and catch the reptiles with gait
nOokS, efso-ao~.-z-~fruYgISts paying them
"a an ounce for the oil, which finds ready
sale. A prominent physician in Wash
ington told me of a case, within his
knowledge, where man suffering from
an ulcer took q rattlesnake into his
bed with the vague idea of somehow ex-
tracing the virulence of the sore. In
some rural districtssof the Union, men
wear the rattles in their hats as rem
edy for headache; and 1 know case in
the Watauga mountains of North Car
DINA, where q man who was far gone
with consumption hung the body of a
rattlesnake to dry and smoke in his
chimney, in order that he might nibble
at it and get we'll. His faith was weak,
and he did not take the medicine, but
sickly boy began to pull the flesh from
the skeleton, and grew fat and sturdy
before he had finished it. In the East
ern States it used to be considered
specific" in cases of epilepsy, q disease
with which more witchcraft and super
stition is mixed up than almost any
other in the catalogue. In view of
these facts, it is not strange that parts
of the rattlesnake should be regarded
of value as q specific against the poison
of its own bite. -Ge1,tlemon's Mag
