Dear Free Press h
Next morning we approached the
great wonder. 1t is in a mound
some sixty feet higher than the
surrounding plain and is walled
but not curbed. Inside the wall it
is fully 150 yards in diameter.
The wall is perpendicular and
about 60 feet high from the water
level. Looking from the top of
the wall the water appears of inky
blackness. It's depth has never
been fathomed. In inches, in the
wall on the north and west are
several we'll preserved cliff dwell
ings of an architecture sssimilar to
that of the castle. Fallen rocks
and other debris have formed q
footing at the waters brink on the
south inside the we'll that can he
reached by climbing down trail
to the southeast. From the south
side is an outlet for the waters to
Beaver Creek which runs 80 or 100
yards away. Inside the well and
just above the outlet is a large
cave made use of by explorers only.
Into its dark recesses we fearlessly
went. Soon we were out of sight
of land. The sound of rushing
waters in the hidden depths below
made US lshiver with apprehension
of unseen dangers. If Cerberus
had snarled at us from his deep
kennel we should not have stopped
to inquire whose dog he was.
Under pretense of seeking fresh
air Cope and Dysart led the way
out. I afterward overheard them
telling an innocent looking FROST
bitten old person At Flagstaff about
the Gave. In connection with the
subject Dysart said something like
IA mile and half" I broke into
the conversation and asked "How
deep did you say the cave is T.
Dysart looked surprised and said
GA rod and a half"
About a mile from the we'll is a
veritable village of boiling and
bubbling springs pouring out
mineral waters without measure.
We bathed in the biggest one and
drank much from the cleanest
looking one. The water is so
charged with heavy minerals that
it bore US up. 1t was impossible to
sink in it. Next day after drink
ing, a scientific analysis was not
necessary to convince US that the
water was diaphoretic, diuretic and
exceedingly cathartic.
By the time we were ready to
move camp from Montezuma's
Well Dysart and Cope had all the
spare room in our wagon filed with
relics. consisting of rocks, trunks
of trees and weeds. Sometimes
Cope and Dysart walked ahead of
the wagon up the steep hills. If
you ever meet them you may tell
them there is about half ton of
their rubbish in the arroyo we
crossed just at the foot of the
Mogollon mountains. On the rim
of this range are cedars, jumpers
and few drarf pines not thick
enough, however, to obscure the
view of the surrounding country.
When we were within half a mile
Of the heavy pine forest that rose
before us like black wall further
On we saw away TO the west six
Indian horsemen riding at break
neck speed. They vanished around

the head as follows: The men who
wore the gray remember, and have
taught their sons to know and remem-
Der too, that it was England who en-
couraged them to rebel; EngIand's
promises of assistance on which they re-
lied, and that it was England who fail
ed them in the hour of need. / not on

generally understood, but believe also
in its expansion. This government

The tendency of all civilized ma
tions during the past few decades
has been toward encouraging peace
and settle international disputes
by arbitration; but the tendency
has not yet met with universal
approval. 1t is urged that war is
the great civilizing agent; that it
invites noble deeds; draws people
closer together; creates a love OF
country; encourages advancement
in science and art, and prevents a
people from relaxing into state Of
effeminacy. Judging from the his
tory of nations, it would seem that
there is foundation for this belief.
Greece and Rome were most pros
porous and made the most rapid
strides in advancement while their
people were aggressive and war
like. The later European nations
made more rapid advancement
when engaged in foreign wars than
they have during the times Of
peace. America is no exception to
the rule, and there are many today
who urge that war with some for
eign power would be more beneti-
cial than detrimental. Among
those who hold this view is w. HI.
Henrichsen, secretary of state of
Illinois. In a recent interview re-
garding the possibility of war
with England, he said:
II don't know much about the
question in dispute, but / have al
ways thought our country ought to
assert herself as the protector of all
the American republics against
European aggression. For thirty
years our foreign policy has been
pusillanimous, and the only pro-
lection an American had abroad
was by claiming to be an English
man. Whatever may be Cleve-
lands motive in assuming his po-
sition, | think he is right, and the
great mass of the people, while car
ing little about the particular point
in dispute, viii sustain him. A
war with England would be very
good thing. Our country needs a
war about once every generation.
1t serves to keep alive and intensi-
fy the American spirit, opens field
for the expenditure of a good deal
of surplus energy, enthusiasm and
patriotism; gives employment to a
large number of people who would
rather fight than work, and dead
ems the bitterness between political
parties. OF the thousands of for
eigners who land on our shores
every year large proportion set
tie in communities by themselves,
retaining their national customs,
habits and prejudices. They are
in many respects foreigners always.
A war requiring the services of a
large number of men would draw
many into the army. A year of
fighting and marching under the
American flag and in support of
American institutions would do
more to Americanize these people
than 20 years of peaceful residence,
isolated from the American popu-
lace A war with England would
teach as to depend upon ourselves
instead Of upon English bankers
for financial system. 1t would
prove the death Of Anglo-maniacs
of this country; would paralyze
the A. P. A.; would put an end to
all foreign American political socie-
ties, and would in short, American
ize the American people"

SILVER AND GOLD.
Considerable of Each Ras Been Taken
from Michigan Mines.

Considerable of Each Gas Been Taken
from Michigan Mines.
Michigan has long been famous for the
great extent and purity of its iron and
copper deposits. but it is Il fact not gem
orally known outside the mining district
that the state has also produced large
quantities of gold and silver. a single
gold mine, the Ropes, near Ishpeming,
has been in continuous operation for the
past fifteen years, and III that time has
produced more than $10O,000 worth Of
gold. The mine has never declared Il
dividend, but has managed to get along
somehow and has never been closed. AT
present its main shaft is over 1000 feet
III depth. There are other gold mines in
the lShpeming district, but at present
none of them are working.
1t is as Il silver producer, however,
that Michigan is foremost. Enormous
amounts of silver have been taken from
the copper mines of Houghton, Ontona-
gon and Keweenaw counties, and though
no silver mine has ever been opened in
the state, Michigan stands credited on
the books of the directors of the mint
with Il silver production OF nearly So
100000, at least 80 per cent of which
has been taken from the copper mines.
Although the mines of Houghton county
which are richer in "copper" have long
since closed the mines of Ontonagon and
keWeenaw counties. the mineral proper
ties of the latter counties were the richer
in silver.
While the mines of Houghton county
are not rich in silver as those of the
other counties named they are by no
means deficient in the white metal
Twenty-Five years ago q "wash-boy" who
gathered the Jumps of silver from off the
wash tables could make more money
than an average miner if he cared to
steal enough, as most of the boys did
At the present time a number Of the
mines saveconsiderab amounts of silver
every year at the mills while the min-
ers manage to secure some very hand
some specimens as the ground is broken
in the mine. The silver is always found
in it's native state, as is the copper, while
in all other mining districts in the world
both of these metals are taken from the
ground in the shape of ores which re-
quire smelling to get out the pure metal

Try Smelling Oysters.

''The best oyster experts that / know
of, said the captain of an oyster boat to
a Washington Star reporter, Judge an
oyster by the smell instead of by the
taste. There is something about the
smell of an oyster that indicates its con-
ditiOn to me much palmer than does the
taste. People buy them and eat them
probably on account of their taste. So
also do they buy tea. coffee and the
various grades of whisky and brandy
for their taste, but all experts on those
things pass upon them entirely by their
smell The professional tea-taster or
whisEy-taster, SO called, never tastes
them. but simply arrives at their taste
by their peculiarities of flavor, or, to
speak plainly, smell.
Il can tell what price load of oys-
tiers will be rated at when they arrive
ut the wharf here by opening up the
hold of the boat and smelling. In eight
cases out of ten [ am right. 1t strikes
oystermen as strange when they see per-
sons going about from boat to boat as
they lie at the wharf tasting oysters be-
fore they conclude to buy. Taste is all
right, but if they don't smell right they
Will never taste right"
