AN OVATION AT CHEYENNE.
Alice Richards, Daughter of Wyo.

Wonderful bursts of speed were made
during the daylight hours yesterday by
the riders of the San Francisco Examiner
and New York Journals continental re-
lay.
Erswell and Dietrich, famous riders,
who carried the packet from Rawlins to
Fort Steele Sunday night, were precpi-
tated INTO a rushing torrent twelve feet
deep. 1t is miracle that they escaped
with their lives. The night was pitch
dark. Erswell went in first and Dietrich
on top of him. They foundered about
and managed to Chamber out and save
their wheels, Erswell's head was cut and
his face bruised by his partners wheel.
The following Examiner specials from
Laramie tell of the run over the noun
tains:

went like fash. Townspeople hardly
realize it, as the relay was not expected for
hours.

cloud bursts. 1t is a miracle that such good
time was made.
LARAMIE, WYo.. Aug. 31.-"Bug" Erswell

from Rawlins to Fort Steele last night,
just got here on freight. They are covered
with mud and bruises. Both men rode clear
into torrent, the bridges having been swept
away. They rescued their wheels with diff
Guilty.
The gallant wheelmen arrived at Lara
mic at 1923 yesterday morning, having
made wonderful time. Mrs. Rhinehart,
the crack lady rider with record of CEN
turtles, made a wonderful uphill ride in
the mountains. She arrived at Red
Buttes. Wyoming, at 11:07. accompanied
by Mcclure and Choffin.
SHERMAN, the summit station of the
Rocky Mountains, $40 miles west of
Omaha, was reached at 1910 p NJ. yester-
day. The riders were due there at 8 30
A. NJ, so, according 10 the schedule, the
packet was three hours and nifty minutes
late al this point, where the altitude is
S242 feet.
Going down the eastern slope OF the
mountains the speed attained was remark
able. Buford was passed at 1927

AalzoNA's MOUNTAIN PUZZLE.


Ok Only . S9fOH81 mtffoIS
For the last half century the A-aeri.
can residents Of Tucson, A. T., hayo
been trying to solve mystery in tho
shape of what appears to be hole
through a mountain peak in plain sight
from the town. In the rarefied air it
looks to be only short distance away,
when in reality it is at least 40 miles
The earliest residents noticed the phe-
nomenon, and the only difficulty that lay
in the way of finding out just what it was
was the fact that it was inaccessible,
and when they came anywhere near the
spot the hole disappeared from sight
In fact. it can only be seen from within
o few miles of Tucson, and this has led
many people to believe that it is not q
hole at all
By the aid of q good marine telescope
the mountain can be brought to within
q few miles, but not near enough to tell
the exact nature Of the rock formation.
An astronomical telescope cannot be TO-
cused ON il. as the mountain is too near.
A first peep through the glass would
lead one to believe that there was no
mystery about il. The hole appears as
plain as possible, but several days study
Of the spot will develop the fact that
the hole does not always look the
same. Many days when the sky is dark
behind the mountain the hole will ap-
pear brilliant white. like snowdrift,
and on Gays when the sky is blue it will
often look 30 dark as to be almost in
visible. These facts have led many tc
think that it is an immense piece of
mica lying with its polished surface to-
ward the sky and rejecting the cloud
formations Of another part of the hori-
ION instead of being tho light seen
through hole. Viewed with the naked
eye the hole simply appears as white
spot, but the telescope reveals pine trees
and other details. although very indis.
tinctly.
The range Of mountains in which the
strange peak can be seen is known as
the Catalinas, and numerous parties
have made the attempt to climb it, but
all have failed ON account Of the steep
and rugged precipices in the vicinity.
The peak is high one and can be seen
from any point in the journey toward
it, but when ten miles out of Tucson the
hole can no longer be seen, even with
the aid Of glass. This can be explain
ed on the mica theory, as q surface of
that material would not reflect a ray of
light toward a persons eye after they
got out Of its angle Of projection. San
