The ..Hen Hole.

Willard county has a number Of curl
os.ties in the way of petrihcations, old
craters, hot and cold springs and caves.
Last spring had the opportunity Of
exploring one of the latter. and have
been asked to describe it.
1t is known as the Hell Hole or
the Old Spanish mine and is located
east Of the Saw Tooth mountains, in
the western part of the county, about
three miles south of the Margin Pass
road. and perhaps a mile from the foot
hills 1t is a large hole in a gently
sloping plain, with no brush, stones or
any other natural marks by which 10
distinguish the place, ano 1t Is not
easily found. The hole cannot be seen
more than 100 yards. We drove quite
close to it before we knew we had
found the place we were looking for.
AS we came near and looked in, one
of the party pronounced it the Hell
Hole" and 1 thought it very well
named 1t has very treacherous APP

We had brought a cable and tackle
and we rugged it to let a man down
the middle of the shaft to avoid fall
ing rocks. None of us cared to go down,
so it fell to me, being the lightest,- to
make the descent. took notes and
measurements that show it to be 81
feet in diameter at the top. For 20
feet below the surface the formation is
coarse gravel, cemented together by
lime. The sides slope in, so that at
this depth the diameter is 80 feet. Here
the formation changes. A little more
sand and clay, and less lime with the
gravel, making the earth looser, SO the
sides Stops out for the next 10 feet,
making the diameter at 60 feet below
the surface so feet. Here is black sand
and gravel for about 10 feet. Immedi-

When at the bottom one can see the

feet west of line let fall from the
west side, and 35 feet below the base
of the east wall, making the perpen-
dicular depth 112 feet.
There is quite romantic story told
by those who think it is the Old Span
ish mine. Years ago, when Fillmore
was young, the MeXicans used to
come in from the west at regular in
tervals with gold dust to buy pro-
visions.
There is an old Indian now living
near Fillmore who has told of pool
of water on the south of Saw Tooth,
where the MeXicans brought the gold
to wash. They packed it in every day
from the north on burros. These Mex
leans finally stole a squaw off the In
dams, for which they either killed or
drove off all the Mexicans, and none
ever came back.
The Indians do not know where the
mine is, out believe it was less than a
days drive north of the pool. There
are no water drains into the hole, and
its origin is still mystery.

had 'prospectors' luck" The best

There has been hard feeling for a
long time between the cattle and sheep

cattle men asserting that the sheep
drove the cattle from the ranges.

lessee of the Wyoming penitentiary, and
the state authorities. was passed upon
today by Attorney General Fowler who
rendered an opinion to the effect that the
contract held by Marsh for the control of
the penitentiary could not revert TO his
heirs. Marsh had a fifteen-year contract
of great value, which after his death
his heirs sought to retain. The attorney
general states that the contract with
Marsh was for his personal services and
could not revert to his heirs without the
approval, of the state. During the con-
troversy, the penitentiary affairs have
been badly disturbed, a number Of
prisoners have escaped and there has
been a number of unpleasant scandals

One WAY to Put II.

Many of the sayings and doings of
the Southern negro, that find their way
into print, may be apocryphal, but
enough are known to be true to make
good his claim to humor. A gentleman
discussing coon-hunting relates an in
cident, in Forest and Stream, that illus
trates. this characteristic drollery.
The party, consisting of hunters,
dogs, axes and torches galore, had been
hunting for good part Of the night
without any luck whatever. Finally,
the dogs freed a coon. 1t would take
some time to fell 80 large a tree, and
one Of the negroes volunteered to climb
1t and ascertain the whereabouts Of the
coon.
All agreed to this, and sat around to
await developments. Soon after the
negro had disappeared among the
branches, a peculiar sound was heard
from the top of the tree. 1t was a kind
of mixture of negro and coon dialect
Some one ventured the remark:
"Bill, have you got that coonT
"Yes, sah," was the reply, Use got
dis here coon; but / wish you'd send
some o. dem darkies up here to help me
turn him loose"
