Geronimo's Real Age.

The appearance Of Geronimo has laid
ut rest many fictions as to his appear
ance and condition. Our correspond
emit, who had frequent opportunities Of
seeing him face to face, says he is q
young brave, under thirty, Of handsome
figure and fine bearing. He has never
been wounded, and apparently his band
would have been good for many
more months of guerrilla warfare
had not their supply Of am
munition given out This account OF
Geronimo agrees with the sketch given
by Captain John G. Bourke in his IAN
Apache Campaign. /" In that work
Captain Bourke describes Geronimo,
whom he calls Hieronymo, as one Of
the youngest and handsomest of the
Chiricahua Apache chiefs, but one who,
in spite OF his youth, exercised great IN
fluence over his companions. 81 San

The molten lava is visible in three
different places, all of which visited.
Two of the three places are quite diff.
cult of access, the approach being a cir
cuitous route up and down over masse.
of loose rocks, and possible only in the
daytime. These two places are quits
near each other, in the ne;ghborhood Of
what was formerly the new lake, though
some little distance south. They car
hardly be called 'lakes." should call
them wells. One of these is where
liquid lava was first seen after its first
disappearance in March. This is some.

enty-five feet long and not less than
one hundred feet in depth. To obtain a
view of the bottom one must 60 to the
very verge of the well and look over.
and this can be done with safety at only
one point. Immediately beneath this
point at the bottom of the we'll, but
where it could not be seen without toe
great a risk, there was an immense
noise and evidence of intense activity.
Over the portion of the bottom of the
well that was visible the lava was har-
dened, except in one place. where il
could be seen as it was pulled out and
thrown up little distance every few
seconds.
The other well was nearly circular il
shape, perhaps thirty feet in diameter,
and one hundred feet deep. This could
be approached only at one point, and
this point was on the leeward side, so
that the fumes of sulphur dioxide would
allow one to remain there only a few
seconds at time. At the bottom of the
well partial cone was formed, perhaps
ten feet across, and in this lava was
boiling with intense violence, now and
then throwing up spray of lava quite

and almost into the face of one stand
ing on the edge and looking over.
The third place where the liquid lava
could be seen was in the lake below the
west wall. 1t is possible to get down t.
the edge Of this lake and get specimens
but it is an extremely hazardous under
| taking. There are or were two lake!
here, but they seem to have merged into
each other, the activity being confined
to the part last formed. Small Law;
flows were constantly breaking out. AMI
in the evening there was genera
breaking up of about one third the sur
face. This lasted only one Or tw'
minutes, but was followed by quite OK
tensive lava flows. l saw no founda

point for observing this lake is eigh

from it. One can get on the edge 0

above it one hundred and fifty or tw

slides are constantly taking place at al
points. When / visited this lake tw

A Singular Catch.
From tie ASdDaAa tGa.) Star.


Last Saturday morning, as Rev. John
Miles, colOred, of this place, was seated
on the south bank of the classic Alapaha,
pulling mudcat now and then, he was
somewhat startled by seeing full-grown
deer plunge into the river a short distance
above him. The deer swan for the south
bank Of the river, which proved too per-
pendicular for the animal to climb, and it
swan down stream. When opposite
Miles he threw his fishing line over its
neck, fastened the hook in its flesh and
drew it near the shore. The water was
quite deep near the bank, which made it
all the easier to manage the deer. Miles
prevented it from landing, fearing to come
in contact with the saws Under its feet,
and in a short time two hounds, which
had been chasing the deer, came up,
plunged in and soon drowned the animal.
1t proved to be pretty badly wounded in
the nip, and later it was ascertained that
MIR. Owen Tatum fired the shot that
wounded it.
This is the first deer that was ever
caught with hook and line, 30 far as We
know.
