THE COW CREEK CANON.
The Copper Mines in That Locality Give
Premise Of Becoming Paying Proper
ties-Report Of Dr.. Mccain on the Out

Dr. T.. j. Mccain, of Waldron

here on a visit to the Cow creek
copper mines. in which they are
interested. returned from that vi
cinity recently. They are quite
pleased over the outlook and be-
lieve that country has a great flu
ture before it. DR.. Mccain, when
questioned about his visit, said:
Il am very much pleased with
my visit to the Cow creek canon
and | certainly think that country
has a great future before it.
There has been considerable mon
ey spent up there and as yet, not
very much of n showing, but the
time will come in my estimation,
when every dollar spent there will
make a showing and the investors
will feel satisfied. That is true of
every new mining country, how
ever. Gold. silver and copper are
not picked mp on the surface. 1t
takes a great deal of development
work to make a mine and natural
ly the first money spent in such
works. unless it brings in returns.
is felt to be lost.
Il feel sure that further devel-
opment there will produce some
paying mines. The indianapolis
is sure to be IA copper mine, |
think. 1t has IA lead that is Is

owners of hal mine are putting

opment vigorously this summer
and it will not surprise me 10 see
the mine turn into a shipper at
any time. Judging from what /

now occupied by lovely, cool lakes
of various depths. The red hot
lava from those vents in Mother
Earth rolled down valley-werd
and swept out Spring creek canon.
Crossing over the divide between
the head waters of the two Spring
creeks, We come to the large lake
at the head of the North Fork of
Spring creek. That lake contains
81 acres of land by actual measure
ment and is of unknown
depth. Not very many months
ago I had occasion to sound that

with a ball of cord and a weight,
the utmost length of the cord
failing to touch the bottom. The
marks of the lava from that lake
are yet plainly visible on the walls
of the canon down through which
it flowed.
NO one knows when these crat-
ers were last active, but it has
doutless been many. many centur-
les since they ceased to flow. do
not think there is even a remote
chance of their ever becoming ac-
tive. The VOLCANOES that are liable
to become active and hat are to
be avoided, lie along the equator
and science has marked them on
the maps with a detiniteness that
no one can mistake. Indeed they

EXTINCT cDATERs.
A Number Of Them in the Continental
Divide. as Well as in the Medicine Bow
Range-No Danger Of an Eruption
From any Of Them.

Some of the inhabitants of the
Saratoga valley and the mining
towns in the mountains may feel
a little uncomfortable when they
learn that they live within a few
miles of several extinct volcanic
craters-but. Just the same. they
do.
In conversation with an expert
enced geologist recently he said
to a representative of this paper:
'Since the eruption of Mont
Pelee every extinct volcano or
sign of a crater is of interest. You
have a number OF extinct craters
in both the Continental Divide or
Sierra Madre range and the Medi-
cine Bow range. Those in the lat
ter range T more ancient. if
there is any difference, than those
in the Continental Divide-at least
they do not Eel SO prominent.
You have n number of craters
in the Continental Divide and. to
begin with. we have one in that

but what that lake is now occupy

there, for it is many feet in depth
in the center.
Coming across the top of the
range to the northeast we have
hat fine sheet of water known as
Cow creek canon lake. The depth
of that lake is not known at pres
ent, but it, too, is quite deep-in
fact deeper even than Battle Lake.
The outlet for that crater was
down Cow creek canon, where the
eruption furrowed "A channel

SARATOGA VALLEY
STOCK ASSOCIATION.
There Should be a Good Attendance at
this Meeting Purpose Of the Asso-
citation.

citation.
In about two weeks from this is
sue of The Sun. there will be held
a special meeting of the Saratoga
Valley Stock Association, on tine
21st of June. Already over three
fourths of the stockmen of the
valley have joined it, or have an
announced that they would do so
at this meeting, and it is the wish
of its members to include in it
every reputable owner of cattle or
horses in this section of the coun-
try.
It's obj ct is to protect the stock
men and further their interests in
every possible manner within the
laws of the state and country. In
some places the Stock Associa-
tions have, according to common
report. violated the law. and as a
result they have been condemned
by public sentiment. This is not
right. and will not be tolerated
here at all. What we want is an
organization that every member
can be glad to belong to because
its objects are plain and above
board in every particular, and will
remain SO.
In case that the cattle or horses
of any member are killed or stolen,
it is the purpose of the Associa-
ton to extend him every assis-
lance in it's power and within the
law to his stock and to
see that the guilty party gets his
just punishment. 1t is often the
case that an individual has not
the time o the money at his
command TO prosecute such a case
without severe loss to himself;
and to help each other in this
way. making the expense on each
one SO light that it will hardly be
felt by any one. is our object.
We all know that if there is a cat
tie or horse.thief located in the
country, he will not confine his
attentions to any IL brand, but
will be impartial about it taking
whatever he can get hold of the
the mos. easily. Especially will
he pick up strays which get away
to some distance from the range
where they belong. We have been
exceptionally free from this class.
hereabouts, and hope to remain so.
With these objects we feel that it
is the interest of every honest
stockman to join. being assured
that it belongs to no clique nor
gang, but to all its members.
At this meeting there will be a
proposition to pay a bounty on
wolves. We want the stockmen
to be present and decide this to
suit themselves, whether they will
pay "A bounty or not, and if SO.
how large and within what bound.
aries it shall be paid. Also there
will be several other important
matters before us for discussion
and decision.
1t costs only one dollar to join
the Association and after that. all
assessments are at the rate of so
many cents per hsad on the num-
Der of cattle and horses owned by
its members. which is the most
equitable way of sharing the ex-
pense that could be devised. and
makes il so light as to be only a
trifling matter to each one. To
the men who have located here in
the past year or two we say, Come

The Colossus ofRhodes.

The ancients succeeded in making that
alloy of copper which is known as bronze.
Among the seven wonders of the world was
the famous statue, wholly made of bronze,
historically known as the colossus Of
Rhodes. It represents Phebus, the national
deity of the Rhodians. It was begun by
Chares, pupil Of Lysippus the sculptor
and was completed by Laches 288 B. c. The
popular belief is that it stood astride the
harbor OF Rhodes, that 1t was los feet high
and that ships could easily sail between its
legs.
Plny said that few men could clasp its
thumb II was cast on metal plates, after
ward Joined together and this process
occupied twelve years. In the interior was
a spiral staircase reaching into its head, and
in great mirror suspended TO its neck were
reflected the coast of Syria and the ships
sailing to Egypt
After it had stood for sixty-four years
this colossus was overthrown by an earth
quake, and its remains lay on the shore for
o23 years-that is, until A. d. 677-when
they were sold by the Saracens to a He
brew dealer The original cost was 800
talents-say $4,000, ooo-and il Is not too
much to say that a similar image might be
constructed now in one-fourth of the time
and at one-third the original cost Rhodes,
by the way, must have had colossus on the
brain, for Pliny relates that the port was
adorned with 900 colossal statues Of the
sun.
