T0SSOF HONEY.

There is enough honey in The brakes

who will get il TO market, according to
the Del Rio correspondent Of the Chi
cago Record. There are tons OF II; in
clefts in the rocks, in hollow trees. in
caves and in the famous Devils
Punch Bowl" which is a great sink in
the Devlfs valley, and out OF which
bees swarm always in clouds SO thick

miles. il has the appearance of a great
sigma. smoke. The hills and valley
land along the river are covered for
great part OF the year with an end

to freeze the bees. there is an abun-
dance OF decaying fruit-cactus-apples
and berries OF many kinds-so that they
never have 10 stop working on account
OF lack of material or bad weather. and
thus go on ping up their wealth
throughout the whole year.
The business OF gathering this honey.
while fairly / rofitable IS not followed
TO any great extent. for the reason
there IS httie tn the work OF the
honey-huntcr which Is anything like
sport, and everything connected with

country .s so rough that IL is impos-
sible to get anywhere near the honey

ing his camp equipage on his back or
on a burro; water is not overplentiful
and much OF that to be 1bund Ia unfit
for use, and besides all mis-, the ac-
tual getting of the honey is no easy
task. Sometimes the caves are in such
inaccessible places that the hunter has

made up of Kansas City men went in

game, for there are plenty of deer in
there even now and ait that time bears
were numerous. When they got up in
to the honey country they began fig

Punch Bowl locally known as Devils
Sink Hole" they decided TO go and see
IL and. If possible. devise some scheme
whereby they might get the tons OF
honey it contained
When they reached II. like every one
else. seeing IL for the first time. they
were amazed at the proportions OF hhe
wonder; a hole forty feet i'm diameter
yawning open in the middle of a wide
valley, with a perfect torrent OF bees
rushing up from it like dirt blown
from some mighty blast and all the
while a roaring loud as that of a great

honey hanging there which the bees
had strung along the sides 81 their
