THE MEADOW VALLEY WASH.
The Meadow Valley wash presents a
peculiar condition of affairs to the en-
gineer. The wash Is nothing more or
less than a splendid canyon that winds
down from Calientes until II broadens
out Just before the Muddy river IN
reached. This canyon is comprised NJ
fantastic craggy cliffs on either side
piles of limestone, granite and lava
mixed up in q manner that would bring
Joy TO the soul of the artist and the
geologlst. At the bottom Af the canyon
there is a bed of pure Sandstone peo-
pie might truthfully call 1t dust. Pc
meath this sand 10 or 10 feet below the
surface, flows the creek. At stated in.

rises to the surface and here bubbles
