A Wonderful Bridge.

David Gowan, who lives in the
 northern part of Gllla county, Arizo- ma, in what IS known as 'the Tonto
 Basin," is the owner of one of the greatest natural curiosties in the United States, if nofin the world. - Gowan's s wonder is the famous nat ural bridge which spans Pine creek by single arch of 200 feet the walls on either side rising to height of 700 to 800 feet on one side forming a perpendicular precipiee. Bridge is 600 feet in width from the bot tom of the arch to the top it avera- ges 40. feet; span, as above mention ed, 200 feet; lower side of arch l50 feet. Action of the water which has poured under the natural span for ages, has worn it as smooth as though it had been chiselled and sandpaper- ed by stonemason. Although the arch, which IS solid limestone, aver ages about 40 feet in thickness, there is one place, near the top of the arch, where the thickness scarcely exceeds six feet; near the center of this thin place there is q semi-circu- lar hole two feet in diameter through which one may watch the waters swiftly gliding 200 feet below.
 Underneath the bridge, as we'll as in all the spurs of mountains contiu- gent to Pine Creek, are numerous caverns, suggesting the idea that the creek itself was once a subterranean passage, the roof of which has bro- ken down, leaving the wonderful bridge as a reminder of what used to be-" These caves abound in splendid stalactite, stalagmites pet rifactions of all kinds. One of the stalacttes in the cave under the bridge is a remarkable remar kable representation of female figure. Visitors have named it Lady Cow an" in honor of the gentlemanly David, owner of the bridge and cave.

Stories OF Large Amount. Of Silver Taken
from Lnr Mountains.
One Of the most persistent, and yet
ono of tho most elusive traditions Of
kentucky is that of Swift's Silve,
Mine, says the Louisville Courier.
Journal. Half a dozen mountain coun.
ties claim to have within tho borders OF
each the original mine, but as no search
has ever revealed the existence Of ar.
gantiferous orc in any of them, half q
dozen other counties claim that a mis-
take may have been made, and hope the
wonderful mine may be within their
W limits. Every now and Their some
person crazcd on tho subject makes his
appearance with a map or chart, assum-
ing to show by actual survey the locar
ton of tho long lost minc.
John Swift was in East Tennessee and
Eastern kentucky as carly as 1761, &C.
%companied by two Frenchmen, and
somewhere in that region they coined,
OF pretended to coin, largo quantities Of
silver money. There were no minis in
the United States then. and Swift wat
arrested upon the suspicion of being .
counterfeiter. This was in NorthrCar
lima. Tho coin turned out to be purel
silver than that of the British mint, and
he was released. Swift left Bell County:
KY, because the Indians were trouble.
some, and he gave a lady of that county
the journal OF his wanderings. His
journal gave a vague account Of
about $54, 900 and Crowns which he
aud his companions concealed at various
places in tho mountains of Eastern Ken.
lucky to facilitate their journey and Sc.
cure safety. Ever since that journal be.
came public search parties have hunted
for the hidden wealth as persistently as
ever Eastern people hunted for the hid
den treasure of Captain Kidd, or the
Southern people searched for the secret
treasure-cave of Captain Blackboard.
1t goes without saying that nobody
has ever found any signs of the treasure.
True, there are moro or less plausible
traditions in various localities. For in.
stance, in Carter County ancient tools
and instruments used to coin money
were found at the foot of a cliff many
years ago. The crumbling away of 9
ledge of tho cliff had allowed the tools
to fall from their concealment. 1t Is
claimed, also, that one of tho first set
tiers Of Carter County found neal his
pioneer cabin aquantity of peculiar Gin.
ders so heavy as to cause him to have
them tested. The result vas the extrac.
ton of sufficient silver to make several
silver spoons, which, it was said, were
as late as 1870 in possession of members
of tho family. Crucibles, furnaces, Gin.
ders and other relics of mineral smelt'
ings, upon a small scale, have beer
found in several counties and attributed
to a vicinage of Swift's silver mino. In
1871 three Cherokee Indians visited
Wolfe County and carried away two
sacks full of some weighty substance.
which the residents in tho neighborhood
united in believing was some of Swifts
silver. The presence of the indians was
we'll known, their object plainly
guessed, yet nobody watched them close.
ly enough to discover the place where
they procured their treasure.

Fargo Argus: Colonel Low has q cattle
and horse ranch in Sheridan county, and
claims to be the only bona fide settler in
Sheridan, which, by the way, is said to DO
the geographical center of the state-north,
eouth, cast md west-and still u~norganized.
The colonel's sister, Mrs. Demarest, her
daughter, and a couple of lady friends from
New Jersey have been on a two months
visit to the wilds of Sheridan. It is said
one of the lady visitors was somewhat of
al invalid when arriving at Bismarck.
She wal carried from the cars. A two
months residence out on the boundless
prairies has brought back life and vigor
and health, and a day or two since, the
ladies came in eighty miles to the railroad
station on a lumber wagon, and sped away
to their eastern home, with glad tidings
of how the ozone of North Dakota does
those things.

Mandan Pioneer: Mr.. Horny Barnes
had b6b sheep this year that sheared an
average of 10 pounds and IS ounces of
wool. The increase this year was $50
lambs. The wool and lambs were worth
$1,000 for the years work. Mr.. Barnes
has these sheep on shares. He Gays that
during the two years he has had the sheep
he has lost only three head. He figures
that no time is so probably spent as that
which is devoted to looking after and car
sng for sheep.
