William G. johnson OF the United
States geological survey, who discovered
remarkable glacier in the Big Horn
Mountains, Wyoming, is in San Fran
cisco with Prof. Thompson, director Of
map-making in the Western States,
johnson is TO have charge Of some map
work in California. He says that the
region in the Big Horn into which he
penetratedthad never before been visited
by scientific man. Very rarely is it
visited at all, and then only by prospect
ors and hunters, who go everywhere in
the mountain country. johnson related
how he climbed to the top Of mount
ain Il, 800 feet high, whici he calls Cloud
Peak. On reaching the very highest
pinnacle he saw a great glacier stretched
out before him. The mass Of ice was
not less than five miles long, and at the
bottom extended out into a lake about
three-fouFths 0f a mile. The lake is d
small but very picturesque sheet Of wa
ter. In it the explorer saw iceberes,
which had broken off the glacier. The
glacier in every way resembled those Of
the Alps, and was moving constantly,
but BY intinitesimal degrees. The great
quantity Of ice in the lake, too, seemed
to olower the temperature considerably,
and at the time johnson WAS there
three weeks ago--a portion Of the body
of water was covered with ice three or
four inches thick. Another mountain
doomed up less than two miles from
Cloud Peak, and from q distanceit looked
as il It would be impossible for any man
to climb 1t without cutting a stairway in
the rock. There were precipices thou
ssands Of feet high, and even on the gla-
ciehshere was one place where q man
eouldystand and drop stones down into
the ater, a distance Of | 1000 feet.
