at an angle that makes the beholder
sure that they are about to give way and
plunge into the deep and dangerous
gorge 1000 feet below But they do not
plunge. Month after month, and year
after year they rock and toss their green
tops in the mountain breezes, bowling,
nodding and then wildly gesticulating
to the mad chorus of sound from the
rushing waters far below. Emerging
from the wonderful chasm, the bed of
the gorge rises gradually, until the road
way is but few feet above the level of
the river. Soon the train rushes into
Bakers park and on to Silverton, pic.
turesque and hourishing mining camp
in the heart of the San Juan district.
From this point the swing around the
circle is continued by taking the Silver
ton railroad, which climbs the steep
grades of Red mountain to Ironton.
Division &c" of the Denver q Rio
Grande system extends from Pueblo to
Trinidad and Alamosa.
The Rio Grande Western road, run
ming from Grand Junction to Salt Lake
City and Ogden, is the favorite route to
California, connecting at the above
mentioned points with the Central Pa
cific and forming the shortest route to
the Pacific coast. 1t is divided into
three divisions, all standard guage, and
is equipped with all the comforts and
conveniences of modern railway travel,
running through Pullman sleeping and
buffet cars, without charge, to the Pa.
cific coast.
Leaving Grand Junction. the road
leads along the north bank of the Grand
river until the Utah line is reached. At
this point the river turns in southerly
direction, while the railroad continues
westward across the plains of Utah.
Just beyond Green river and Castle val
ley we commence the ascent Of the
Wasatch mountains, and are once more
in a region Astounding in all the varied
forms and aspects of scenic beauty. At
the entrance of Castle canon stand two
towering sandstone shafts, which, ris-
ing to height of 500 feet, look like cas-
ties, with battlements, bastions and tur-
rets guarding the way. and just wide

between. Reaching Castle Gate two

Mormons erected tabernacle with

Next to this a Tithing House was
built, and then followed the Endowment
House, and that unique structure known
as the Bee Hive" and lastly the Grand
Temple costing $4,00O,0O0-all located
on Temple Square.
Eighteen miles away is Great Salt
Lake the Dead Sea of America, with all
area Of $500 square miles, and situated
1000 feet above sea level. OF late years
it has become popular bathing resort,
and thousands travel to Utah annually,
for no other purpose than to enjoy its
invigorating waters. From Salt Lake
to Ogden the road traverses narrow
plain, bounded for some distance by the
Great Salt Lake on one side, and the
Wastach mountains on the other.
Upon reaching Ogden the western
terminus of the Rio Grande Western,
prompt connection is made with the
Central Pacific (Which was built by the
Government and presented to com
pany of California millionairs), and the
traveller is whirled rapidly on across the
plains of Nevada to the, metropolis of
the Pacific & San Francisco or the

through which the railroad runs upon a
shelf, blasted into the solid walls Of
Gods masonry, over 1900 feet above the
rocks below.
Marshall Pass is also interesting. 1t
crosses the main range of the Rocky
Mountains at an elevation of 11,OOO feet,
and runs close to the cone of Mount
Ouray. an extinct volcano $4,000 feet
high.
A trip of great interest on this system
can be made from Salida or Denver to
Santa Fe and Creede. Leaving Salida,
the route lies through the Arkansas
Valley as far as Mears, where it COM
mences the climb to Poncha Pass, which
is reached after three .fourths of an hour
extreme exertion on the part of the
engine. In the descent scene is wit
messed that years will not efface from
the memory, and which to the artistic
soul comes as one of the most pleasant
surprises on this whole journey of rare
and rugged sights.
A sharp turn in the road brings into full
view the great San Luis park, It's miles
long by 80 miles in width. Once an in

After pleasant ride down the valley
we reached Alamosa, located on the
banks of the Rio Grande del Norte-
grand river of the north. Here juno
ton is formed with the Veta Pass route,
replete with beautiful scenery. From
Alamosa we run south to Antonito, from
which point we branch off for Espanola
and Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The chief interest Of Espanola lies in
the fact that it is the nearest railroad
point to some of the most interesting
pueblos and cliff ruins to be found in
New Mexico. Within four miles of the
quaint old Spanish town are the pueblos
Of San Juan, Santa Clara and San llde-
fonso. Here are ruins Of cliff dwellers,
the history of which exists only in un-
certain traditions. Santa Fe, the second
oldest city on the American continent, is

A Vast Empire.

New Mexico is a country large in its
extent and magnificent in its domain. 1t
reaches through five degrees and forty
minutes of latitude and six degrees of
longitude. 1t is 3i5 miles long on it's
eastern boundary and 800 miles on it's
western, while it has an average breadth
of 1856 miles. 1t lacks only 1851 square
miles of being as large as Denmark, Ba-
varia, Belgium, Greece, Hanover, Hol-
land, Saxony and Switzerland all COM
bined; yet these eight celebrated coun-
tries have a population of 24,041, 122.
against 225,00O people in New Mexico.
1t is more than half as large as the en-
tire German empire, with it's 41,O5S,2OO
people; and it lacks but 1900 square
miles of being as large as all England,
Ireland, Scotland, Wales and the ada
cent islands, with their 81,Sl7, 1OS popu-
lation. In addition to this great extent
the difference of altitude between the
mountains on the north, which rise over
10000 feet toward heaven, and the
plains on the south, which sink down to
less than 1000 feet above sea level, gives
variety Of soil, climate and productions,
which can scarcely be equalled in the en-
tire Mississippi valley from the lakes to
the gulf By this means every variety
of taste can be gratifed in climate and
every variety of production can be Sc
cured from the soil. But even this range
of altitude and extent does not exhaust
the remarkable variety offered by the
territory to the choice of the immigrant.
The valleys and river bottoms invite the
farmer, the gardener and the raiser of
fruit; the mesas or tablelands are the
paradise of the sheep man and the cattle
baron; the mountains offer occupation
to the lumberman on the surface'and to
the miner in their bowels; the cities
supply with labor the mechanic. the
merchant, the lawyer, the doctor, the
teacher and the parson; the railroads
and other improvements offer employ
ment to the skilled engineer and the I'M
skilled laborer by the day. In a word,
every man can find home and congen-
ial employment. For the variety of its
interests and the multitude of opportun-
tiles which it affords to men of means,
mind or muscle, New Mexico can not
be equalled by any other part of this
great American country.

what if it should be Bernardo"
The question flashed across Viardot's
mind, and completely took away his
breath. He had half expected some
such denouement as this, yet he was not
prepared for the reality.
Almost at the same instant he caught
sight of a familiar figure crawling la
borously up the cliff side. 1t was Ber-
nard, all unconscious of the presence of
the fierce brute crouching above him
awaiting his advance little nearer be-
fore making the fatal spring. Then it
was that Niardot emitted that blood

"Look out!-he's going to iump!"

sound, sprang up and glared at the new
intruder, safe on the opposite rock,

snapped Viardot. IN see to it that you
stay with me, gun in hand, at re-
spectful distance, when we go to look
up those sly cats"
The conversation on this particular
subject was dropped by the party after
the college boys had asked for and re-
ceived minute description of the place
where the lions had been seen.
Bernard said nothing more that night
about lions or snap shots, but he
turned in for snooze with mental res
ervation.
ii was two hours after sunrise the fol-
lowing morning when Viardct, tired by
long tramp the preceding day, awokc
from his sound slumber. He rubbed his
eyes, and, without turning over, eX-
claimed:

There was no response, and when vi
ardot shifted his position SO as to COM
mand a view of his surroundings, no
one was in sight.
"Now, where in the deuce DO you
suppose that fellow is?" he calculated,
addressing some imaginary parsonage.
Then he arose and took an inventory of
the tent Demands hat and rifle were
gone.
''Yes, and his camera, too," growled
Viardot.
Then u sudden idea struck him. "The
lions! He's gone to photograph those
beasts!" he fairly yelled.
His anxiety for the safety of his com
panion was so great that he forgot his
breakfast, and, snatching his rifle and
revolver belt, started on a run down
the canyon.
After a rapid chase of three miles, he
