trancing landscape, dotted with miniature
lakes or water basins, many without out
let, and these surrounded with hillocks,
covered with spruce hemlock and
otner species OF pine and the tremb-
ling leated aspen. This is the great
cattle and sheep range of the "V. T." out
Mt represented by Mr.. ]. w. Young, of
Salt Lake. 1t is about one hundred miles
from Lees ferry, and the company referred
to occupy almost the whole intervening
territory. 1t is in altitude $500 feet above
the Colorado river, and here, as THE
HERALD has said above is the deepest part
OF the great canon. Here, too is Green
land Point, where Mr.. Mccormick took
some OF his choicest Photographic views.
AT this point the serpentine meanderings
OF the river can be seen for miles, and the
artist caught and imprisoned view of it
taken through hole in projecting wall
OF stone; the Colorado looking like small
mountain stream. The dizzy height may
be realized when 1t is stated that a stone
dropped from the cliff was nine seconds in
falling.
INDIAN RELICS.
The summit of the Buckskins is long
plateau until the breaks of the canon are
reached. This is part of Colorado plateau
The formation at Greenland point is gran
tie for the first 500 feet above the river
bed, then for 100 feet Pctsdam sandstone,
followed by measures of quartsite, marble,
sandstone again and topping of with lime
stone. The rock is of all colors and shades
imaginable. The Buckskin range is the di-
vlding line between Nevada and Arizona.
In this region, ana indeed in nearly
every part of the Grand Canon of the Col
orado, evidences were found of occupation
by the Piute Indians half a century OF
more ago. There were ash heaps, where
they burned a species of cactus called
''yant," which grows to height of twenty
| feet, and the pith of which, roasted in
mud ovens, was rubbed into q kind OF
meal There were also perfectly distin-
gulshable remains of cliff dwellings-houses
made of small stones cemented with mud
mortar-broken pottery, flint arrow heads,
corncobS, etc.
PETRIFACTIoNs, ETC.
Around Lees ferry, where the party
left the river for their overland trip, there
are all varieties of singular and beautiful
| petfifactlons. In places they seemed tc
travel in PROSTATE petrified forest, where
great trees lay, the trunks, bark and pith
Of which had turned from wood to solid
stone, displaying the grain, knots and
every popularity. One old monarch
showed q great butt long trunk, and
where the branches might be looked fol
was a large bed of pebbles. At the mouth
of the Bright Angel, mentioned hereafter
they found the willow tree, broken mealing
stone and ruined cliff dwellings spoken Of
by Major Powell in his Explorations.

BALLOON ASCENSION,
A grand balloon ascension and parachute
Jump was witnessed by the denizens Of
Logan on Friday. August Woodal, youth
OF but fourteen summers, made the ascen-
sion. The balloon used was the property
OF MIR. Mat. Reese, and contained twenty
cubic feet of hot air.
The young areonaut rose to the height of
nearly 5000 feet and reached the ground
within few feet of the start amid the
plaudits of the crowd. While the hot air
was entering the balloon 10 Charles was
accidentally burned, iniuring his hands and
arms slightly.
MINING MATTERS.
The Cache Mining company has sent out
two shifts Of men, with provisions suffi-
cient to last until next February. The
company is determined to find what metals
really exist in its mines.
The Mineral Point Mining company yes
terday filed with the county clerk articles
of incorporation. The capital stock il
100000, divided into shares Of 81 each.
The company has four claims on Mineral

are regarded by mining experts as being
the mother of the mineral belt Of that sec
ton. The ore assays 9S per cent. iron. with
some gold and silver. The officers are az

The Provo street railway company has
turned out prancing team and attached it
10 car on its tracks. This will enable cit
liens to make connections with the incom-
Ing and outgoing trains.
The road that is being surveyed be-
tween Provo and Park City through Provo
canon is subject OF lengthy discussion in
local papers. The enterprise is believed to
be assured even if local parties have to
take it in hand. kilograms from Denver
1oreshadow the fact that the Rio Grande
Western company will make this extension
as well as make Provo their junction point
for the California extension. Active work
on the part of the chamber of commerce is
being done and this body is determined
that Provo shall receive all the benefits of
railway facilities thai she is justly entitled
| to.
William Robert starts for Salina to-day
to look after wool shipments in which he is

THE BRIGHT ANGEL.
An Interesting Strean-WOnderful Natural
Bridge.

Bridge.
The Bright Angel canon is the channel
of a small stream, twenty miles long only,
rising in the Buckskin mountains, its
source being a spring rising from the bot
tom of the chasm, ten feet wide, with a
depth of twelve or fourteen inches. Other
springs almost as large as the first con-
tribute their waters further down, falling
200 or 300 feet over the side of the noun
tam in series of Cascades, making a scene
Of remarkable beauty. The Bright Angel
stream. in its course of twenty miles, has
a fall of 1000 feet, so its dashing impetu-
osity can readily be fancied. 1t is quite in
accessible, and portions of it were visited
for the first time Of any white man by the
Hislop-McC ormick party. Four of them
started from the headwaters, carrying
blankets and provisions. Clambering down
the precipitous declivity for three miles,
they reached point thousand feet below
their camp, where they came to a perpen-
dicular jump-off 600 feet in height. In
order to get around this they followed a
bench on che top of a marble ledge till they
came to an immense rock slide or talus,
which they followed cautiously down to
the bottom of the canon, about mile below
the first of the springs of which the stream
is formed. BY this time their clothes were
in tatters, but thenceforth travelling was
comparatively easy.
THE NATURAL FRIDGE.
On the left of the Bright Angel canon our
adventurers discovered a small one in
which there is beautiful natural bridge of
solid sandstone rock, 300 feet above the
bottom, stretching fifty feet across the
abyss, and about forty feet wide. Further
down on the west they also discovered a
side canon, which they named Bright Angel

Pre- Historic Ruins = Re-
gions of Bewilderment.

For day or two past, resting from
long interesting but in some respects
vearisome expedition to distant portion
of the Grand canon of the Colorado, two
gentlemen OF Denver have been visiting
Salt Lake. Their names are John Hislop
engineer, and j. A. Mccormick, photog-
fapher These gentlemen, associated with
Six other persons, started in two substan-
tial boats, on the 18th of July last from a
point on Green river nearest to the Denver
d Rio Grande railroad, their objective
point being the Buckskin mountains, be-
tween four and five hundred miles distant.
They were provisional for journey of
three months duration, and their outfit en-
braced almost every article desirable for a
soiourn in wild and uuinhabited regions.
Pushing their boats from shore, and bid
ding goodbye for a season to civilization,
our adventurous voyagers were one week
making the trip to the mead Of the Colo
rsdo river, 12O miles, This famed water
course is formed by union of Green and
Grand rivers, either of which above the
junction. appears 10 be as large as the
Colorado, the bed of the latter being no
wider, but twice as deep.
IDLE PASTURE LANDS.
In every bend, On the short side, there
are fine bottom lands. 40 to 800 acres in ex-
tent which now lie uncultiyated, but
which could be readily irrigated with river
water put in motion by wheels, so that they
would respond to the care of the husband
man with abundant harvests. The walls
OF L9byrinth and Saltwater canons rise
TO varying heights from POO to 1,200 feet,
but back of them the country would make
a fine cattle range if il were possible for
stock to get to the river for water. The
boring Of artesian wells or the establish
ment of reservoirs to furnish water sup
plies, would make this magnificent graz
ing region. 1t is now paradise for the
hunter, being literally provided with deer
and other game.
ANCIENT CLIFF JEWELLERS.
On the summit of peak in one of the
bends of the Colorado, below Mormon
Fort, the party discovered the first evi
dences Of pre- historic habitation. Cobs OF
corn, preserved through perhaps tens Of
scores of years, were found here, to-
gether with arrow-heads of flint, etc.

A FAIRY-LIKE GROTTO.
Bowers Of TranscendeEt Beauty and Wild En-
cbantment.


The Bright Angel grotto, as described, is
a most enchanting and lovely spot 1t is in
q side canon which is apparently 800 feet
wide, stretching back some 500 feet The
walls of this great cavernous gulch are of
granite and close in to sort of dome-like
alcove with a tesselated ceiling latticed
with ferns. The explorers attention is
attracted 20 a green fiat formed by erosions
which, being kept wet or damp, produced a
growth Of small cottonwood and cane some
fifteen feet IN height-a veritable Jungle,
obscuring miniature lake. Such retreats
seem to be formed by nature for deer and
mountain sheep, where they so to drink
The sight of them is made striking to the
human eye by the enhancing contrast with
the nude and barren mountains.
NATURES DECORATIONS.
From the far end of the chasm above the
grotto narrow streams and threads of lin
pid water issue, with sheer fall of from
fifty to sixty feet, whilst from the moss
grown wall little drops exude and trickle
sparklingly down the side Trailing vines
swing with the wind in graceful festocns,
and delicate ferns embroider the shining
rocks with beautiful tapestry.
FOUNTAIN OF LIQUID DIAMONDS.
The constant flowing and percolation Of
the springs ON the side ef the wall of the
grotto have formed basin beneath, in the
extreme end Of which stands what NAV be
called an immense stalagmite, three feet in
diameter on the top, and spreading out at
the bottom to width of twenty feet The
cascade from the shelf above, where the
little streams unite, falls upon the rock,
and is dashed into myriads of cleaning
streams that dance and bubble upon the
surface Of the tiny lake below, the overflow
of which courses down the canon and
slakes the bit of vegetation at the en-
trance.

cliff side dressed in the varigated colors of
wild flowers moss and fern, but within the
charmed grotto the bell-shaped honey
suckle and mountain pink flood the un-

perfume, where the tireless wings of the
humming bird flutter all day long Such q
scene is like the realization of a fairy tale

where the traceries of the most vivid fancy
