a Giant Tree.

Fred. w. Clough, a well-known en-
gineer of the COmstock, has been spend
ing some weeks in the wilds of the
Sierras, about the headwaters of the Ka-
weah river, Tulare county, Cal. He
was accompanied in his wanderings by
Wesley Warren, an old COmstocker
who now resides in Tulare Valley.
About the headwaterS OF the kaWeah
they got into an unexplored and almost
impenetrable region. In one place they
were Obliged to cut trail for nearly
parral that blockaded the mountain pass.
Mr.. Clough says that on the trip they
discovered a tree of sequoia species,
which he believes to be much the largest
on the Continent of America. Mr.. War
rem who has seen the big trees of Mari
posa, those of the Big Tree Grove in
Calaveras county, and all the big trees OF
the Coast Range, says there is no place
in California tree that approaches In
size that on the Kaweah.
The men bad with them no rule, tape
line or measure of any kind, bat Mr..
Warren measured the tree with his
rife, which is four feet in length. He
found it to be forty-four lengths of his
gun in circumference at a point as high
above the ground as he could reach.
but it is still of immense height. This
monster tree stands in small basin,
near the Kaweah, and is surrounded on
all sides by wall of huge, rugged rocks.
There is so much brush in the vicinity
that the little valley in which the big
tree stands is almost inaccessible.
A landmark, and noticeable feature
of the landscape, is an immense rock
known as Homer's Nose. The rock
stands on a mountain that has an eleva-
ton of from 5000 to 5000 feet above the
level of the sea. The rock itself is about
500 feet in height. 1t is visible above
the pine forest from Tulare Valley. The
small valley in which the big tree stands
is mile or two east of Homer's Nose.
About it are many giant trees, several
larger than the big trees of Mariposa.
Lower down the Kaweah is what is
called the Giant Forest. At this place q
colony of Socialists have taken up ten
square miles of timber land. On their
| land are many trees that are from Is to
| Is feet in diameter. The mountain men
say the big trees (the sequoia), are 3
