RIGHTLY VISITS TO A SPRING IN

Strange March Witnessed by q Pros

Canyon of Tres Alamos.

Canyon of Tres AIamos.
No region in the world possesses as
much of weird grandeur as the lava
beds of Arizona. No portion of this
wild district Is so weird, so fantastical-
ly wild as the narrow canyon of Tres
Alamos. Securely hidden in the noun
tain Businesses. it is the most forbid
ding of all the many gulches with
which the region abounds. Vegetation
Is almost absent. Bun three evidences
Of what more favorable ground might
do are present. These are the three
cottonwood trees which give the can
yon its name. The rocks which CON-
pose the sides and floor of this strange
canyon are what are known as con-
glomerate among prospectors. They
contain a badly mingled mass Of mate
rials, including the precious metals,
but they are so fearfully mixed that
they are useless for any scientific pur-
pose. Few men have ventured into
the canyon, still fewer would care to
remain longer than necessary to drink
OF the spring which gushes out of the
rocks at the roots of the trees.
No man who has prowled about Ari-
zona has seen wilder sights than L. j.
Court. He is prospector who has
passed many years wandering about
the Territories in search of pay dirt.
He is known all over the Pacific coast
and has been in every nook of the
dreary region where the earth vomited
out its floods of lava rock. He put in
several days and nights in Tres Ala
mos and witnessed the wild animals
on their nightly visits to the spring for
water. He recently made visit to
Phoenix after having remained in the
canyon for time. He relates an in
teresting story of his observations
while out in the lava beds. He de-
scribes the canyon and then continues
as follows:
A Wonderful Country.
A cold spring pours out of the solid
rock and chatters its way noisily down
the narrow canyon. Here, at the dead
of night, come the beasts of the barren
| mountains for miles around to drink of
the running waters. And here, lying

at is a wonderful country, and no
man ever set foot into wilder region.
There are three cottonwood trees,
where the spring pours ou. Of the rock,
and along the banks of the creek are
many willows. Near the spring is a
level spot of ten acres. The first night
| camped there was tired. But after
that / stayed on for two weeks because
of the wonderfully weird charm of the
place. The walls of the canyon are
marvels of conglomerate malpais or
lava. There's gold, iron, copper, cob
blestone, granite, marble, sandstone
and silver ore all ground up in a noun
famous mass that is as bare of vegeta-
ton as the cay it poured from the heart
of the earth. 1t was vomited forth in
the most 'Iideous shapes Imaginable,

travelling miles to see, and you can
reach it in days lope from Congress.
Buck Acts as Scout.
''But the average man who goes there
~ill not see what l saw in the moon
light. I'll tell you how the deer come
to drink-it's the prettiest sight in the
world. The first night was on the
point of going to sleep. when | heard
a snort from the TOP of the bluff above
me. looked, and there vas big buck
with magnificent antlers standing on
the very brink. his dusky figure sharply
outlined against the sky. In moment
his snort was answered by the patter
of many feet, and he was surrounded
by pack of deer. | counted eighteen
in all. The big buck yentured cautious

way down he halted, tossed his antlers
about as he shifted the air, and then
gave another musical snort. At this
signal on came the rest of the pack.
They halted just behind him. Then he
ventured further down, and presently
stood so close to me that | could have
hit him with pistol shot. Here he halt
ed again, again tossed his head up and
down. right and left, then gave another
snort and the rest of the pack came up.

one advanced till he gave the signal.
Arrived at the water, the buck waded
In a few steps, then signaled for the
others to advance and drink. And
while they drank he fell back of them
several yards and stood there as guard
until they had finished. Such an alert
scout no human being ever made. And
there was world of pride and dignity
In him as he stood there ana watched
and waited Surely. he realized that
the fate of the entire pack depended
upon him. and his hnnors and RESPONSE
bilities sat heavily upon him. 1t took
the pack perhaps ten or fifteen minutes

to satisfy Its thirst. Then 1t moyed
back from the water and stood near the
buck. Now 1t was the bucks turn to
drink. He strode forth, bent his head
and drew in great draughts of the cool
water. But he drank with his dignity

him, and when he was once more at it's
head there was Wild scramble up the

Other Animals Seen.
Il was fascinated by the spectacle
and resolved to witness 1t again. So
l stayed another night. The perform
ance was repeated exactly. Again on
the third night they came to drink in
the same way, and the next night and
the next, and so on, till 1t dawned upon
me that | must quit loafing and get
ba TX to work. OF course, the deer
scented me at once and knew all along
just where / lay, but kept very still
and they did not seem to mind me.
THE smaller animals came at all
times of the night, and the smaller they
were the more noise they made. The
foxes were the slyest of all and the
most timid. They go on dead run all
the time, with their heads always wrig-
Cling from side to side. The first time
they shifted my presence at camp they
made wild scamper back to cover be-

There isn't an animal in America, be-
lieve, that will touch man unless man
makes the attack. He came within
few yards of me, stood still and stared
at me. | met his gaze calmly and, /
believe, fearlessly. Then he went on
to the water, waded boldly in and
drank his fill. OF all the animals that

has, after almost three years of dramatic
history, at last paid the penalty of his hor-
ribe and revolving crimes. Durrant was
hanged Friday in San Quentin prison, and
when the hangman sprung the trap he
rung down the curtain on what has been
one of the longest, most exciting, sensa-
tional and sharply contested murder trials
in the history of American criminal law,
While Durrant was convicted of but one
murder under the law, he was held re-
sponsible by public opinion for the muir
der of both Blanche Lamont and Minnie
Williams, and it is felt that his death
expiates one crime as much as the other.
He kept up his remarkable nerve until
the last and died protesting his innocence.
On April 3, 1895, Blanche Lamont, a
member of the Sunday school attached to
the Emanuel Baptist Church, suddenly
disappeared from the residence of her
aunt, with hom she lived. Nine days
later MinIie Williams left her home in
Almeda to attend meeting of young peo-
pie. and, like Blanche Lamont, she failed
to return. The following day, April 13,
the body of Minnie Williams was found
in the library of Emanuel Baptist Church.
1t was terribly disGgured, and gave evil
fearful battle before she yielded up her
life.
The machinery of the law was put in
motion. Detectives, with hardly any clew
to work upon, set ont upon their task. In
some way the finding of Miss Williams
body was linked with the disappearance
of Blanche Lamont. A diligent search
was instituted. Every nook and corner
of the church was searched, and on the
following day the police discovered Miss
Lamont's body in til dusty belfry of the
church. The method and manner of her
death was Identical with that of Miss
Williams. San Francisco was Mortified.
The police were astounded at the enor-
nifty of the crime, but kept to their work
assiduously.
They learned that Theodore DurraDt
was friendly with the two girls. and that
Blanche Lamont was last seen alive in
his company. 6e was promptly arretsed.
From the very first he assumed d cool de-
meanor. Hardly less surprising than the
murders themselves was the arrest of
