yellow desert was ties greets the eye. Al
far AZ the eve may range not green thing
In nature may be seen.
Yet there is scarcely anywhere q com-
munity where the per capita income Is
larger than that of jerome. Some eight
hundred men are employed In the United
Verde mines and in the enormous copper
.mel,ers. Tho weekly payroll ranges from
$1,000 TO 500 600, and 20 per cent. OF It Is
quickly spent in the little town.
The streets in jerome run up and down
the steep mount ain. The mines are further
up in the interior Of the mountain. While
there are a few neat. homelike cottages
az the upper end Of Main street, the town
i, largely made up. of primitive, rough
hoard structures, houses with canvas
sides and shingle roofs and cloth par
titions. There are few Wcll-buiit storts
and frame lodging houses
Along the east side Of Main street there
was until the recent FIRE row OF big hem-
lock and pine buildings interspersed with
tents with board foors. and here were
pioneer stores saloons, dance halls. Chinese
rest aurants, lottery houses and wash
houses.
-Up here" said a man waving his hand
toward the cottages scattered over the
bleak upper moun,ainside "is where decent
folks live. but down there on Main street
is where other folks live at night and where
the moneys made Oh this is the hottest
camp in the Territory.
Ths blowing Of the steam whistles at the
United Verde mines marks the beginning
Of each chapter in the life OF jerome.
Presently squads Of stalwart men come out
Of the mining tunnels and up from the
shafts, and, coats on arm and dinner pals
in hand, hasten for home or lodging houses.
while a small army Of grimy faced men
issue from the smelters. The narrow
streets which climb up and down the
mount tainside are congcsted with noisy
miners, and all the eating houses are soon
thrcnged with hungry patrons.
F3y the time the lamps are lighted and
the moon is rising over the San Francisco
peaks the new chapter in the life Of jerome
"a we'll under way. The night shift of bar
tenders and gamblers In the saloons have
come on duty the dancing women are

sula, as the ice conditions prevented him
from reaching the New Siberia Islands,
where he had hoped to winter. The geo
graphical results Of that winter were very
valuable. He mapped the unexplored
coast line, crossed the peninsula and studied
its conditions in the interior and discovered
several new Islands. He proved that the
deep indentation known on all the maps
as faimyr Bay does not exist, As the coast
extends in ,olerably straight line to Cape
Chelynskin. the most northern point OF
Asia
In the summer Of 1891 he reached the
New Siberia Islands and penetrated the
ice sea far north Of II, but did not find San

Bennett Island, but the ice prevented him

ton he went hack to Kotelnoi, where he
spent the winter Of lS9l-92, and started
In May last by sledge for Bennett Island.
One Of the most remarkable explor ations
OF Baron Toll was in 1893, when, in the
New Siberian Islands. he discovered evi-
dence that in the period when the mann
moth hourished trees grew In "a degrees

tude north Of their present limit. He
made most important and significant geo.
logical discoveries: and on his homeward
