A REVIVAL IN NATURE.

! Friday morning, March 3, we took
the steamer for our return trip. We
ran along the north coast of Hawaii for
about siXty-five miles. Near Hilo the
country gradually slopes to the ocean,
but as we proceed to the west shores
become more precipitous, at times ris-
! ing to a height of several thousand
feet. On our downward trip the
streams We're perfectly dry and but one
waterfall greeted us en- route. The
heavy rains of the two preceding days
changed things materially. The coun-
! try. looks as if awakened from a long
sleep and every patch of cane seemed to
i laugh a kind Aloha at US. Aloha in
| Hawaiian means greeting love-
J added to this beautiful picture was
the gushing of the streams from the
valleys and ravines. These would tum-
bic down from their dizzy heights into
the ocean; again, they would fall as in
terraces. In each case the water would
find its last berth but as spray; and
where. perchance, the sun would favor
it, each fall would have it's tiny rain
, bow covering it as a coFored canopy
over a slumbering infant. At one time
twenty-five falls could be seen along
the shores. The clouds were quite low
and the bluffs were hidden from view.
The sight was very pretty. The waters
seemed as if coming from the dark col
ored clouds Some fell on protruding
rocks Some would vanish only to ap-
pear lower down.
ENJOYED A WHALE SHOW.
But we were to have a grand finale
as a fitting climax to the day AS we
neared Kawaihae bay we ran into three
whales They were about one-quarter
of a mile off our bow. Playful as kit
tens they did all sorts of stunts in the
water One stood on his head for some
time and wagged his tail to and fro for
several minutes. The others were sat
isfied to be more dignified but would
their anatomy. They say it is not an
uncommon sight to see whales here.
TRANSPORTS IN THE HARBOR.
''Of our trip to the island of Maui I
will write later. We are to start on
our trip around this island today. This
morning two transports are in the har-
Dor. the Thomas. bound for San Fran
cisco, and the Logan, bound for the
Philippines The companies paraded
the streets. The Logan had a band and
a drum corps on board. This letter will
reach you about the 21st, so you will
have to send word to the Palace Hotel,
San Francisco. not later than the 25th,
as we expect to arrive there the 1st of
April. Tonight there is a big ball at

THE PATH THE CALF MA DE.

One day through journalistic wood,
A calf walked home, good calves should;
But made a trail all bent askew-
A crooked trail, all calves do.
The trail taken up next day,
BY journalistic goat, they say,
And then a wise bell-wether sheep
Pursued the trail aroused from sleep
And drew a gulsh following, too,
As good bell-wethers always do.
A moral lesson this might teach
Were I ordained and called to preach;
For prone to go it blind
Along the calf paths of the mind,
And boot and howl from morn till night
At things beyond their knowledge quite.
They follow in a hoofmired track,
pat each other the back,
And e Ter their freakish pursue
And think the thoughts they're told to do;
Oh how the local wood gods laugh,
Who We watched the weaving of the calf!
Full many things this tale might teach,
Rnt am not ordained to preach. H NJ AY7

face and with small jets of steam or
larger volumes OF sulphur steam issuing
from its various openings. The only
comparison which I can make is a ket-
tie of boiling soap left to cool, the Ia

We stayed at the crater about two
hours and then returned to the hotel.
The three of US walked and, without a
guide. had no difficulty in finding our
way back. There is but a single path
and that is marked off by means of
stones placed at short intervals. Yet
there was something fearful in that
walk, alone in strange country in the
dead of night with danger lurking in
every step.
The assures along the route would
emit steam and hot blasts. Sometimes
the lava was heated so that one could
not stand on ii longer than a minute
Again, sulphur clouds would belch forth
and in the darkness would assume all
sorts of shapes and forms. It seemed
not unlike the ruins of Karnak in Egypt
by full moon, with Arabians in their
white togas fitting about the pillars and
temples. Weary and footsore, with
shoes entirely spoiled we reached the
top of the ledge and were finally tucked
away in our beds. But the returning
excited tourists coming and departing
very noisily in the dead of night would
not let US go to sleep.

HOUSE OF MAUMAU.

This particular crater of the large
Kilauea crater is called Halema urnau.
Hale means house, so it is the house
of some god named Maumau in Ha-
waiian legend. Well, Halemaumau IS
1900 feet in diameter and 700 feet deep,
a big hole when you come to look at it
in the dead of night. From it arose a
mass of sulphur clouds about $50 feet
above our heads. The crater had been
quite active, but it was rather tame
that night AT such height it would
have to be quite busy to make an i'm
preston.
Nevertheless, we saw the cone plain
ly from which the lava flowed into
lake of lava about an acre in area. We
laid prone on the ground and peeped
into this vast cavern of the earth at the
bottom of which was this great mass of
burning lava, which, owing to the
drifting sulphur clouds. would assume
all sorts of fantastic shapes. AS the
new lava would flow into the partially
cooled lava there would be a splattering
and the sparks would fly in all dlrec-
lions not unlike one of our foundries.
At times a rumbling noise was heard,

a DANGEROUS SPOT.

Finally. after many Abs we reach
ed Halemaumau and wandered around
TO its farthest edge. Then only were
we impressed with the danger Of the
night before. The immense opening
was before US. and as from two little
pipes came forth smoke and lava. The
lava flowed down in the bottom of the
pit about $50 feet below and there
formed lake OF lava already men,
toned and which I saw the evening
before. We then visited Madame Pele's
smokestack, Madame Pele's throne, and
the Devils Kitchen. All of these
would be very interesting if not SO
near the huge crater. Still they were
interesting. particularly as one could
see what odd caprices the lava took in
cooling.
well, after spending two hours at the
crater amusing ourselves burning pos
tai cards and the like we went back
TO the hotel arriving there shortly after
s in the afternoon. After dinner we
We're informed that the volcano was
very active. But we had nlade>about
twenty miles that day and so contented
ourselves with view from the hotel.
The flames We're reflected in the sky
and at times it seemed quite lively.
The next morning We visited the fern
forests, which we found after a. half
hours walk through sulphur Jets and
tangled tropical vegetation. The for
est itself was very idyllic and as there
was an abundance of raspberries we
enjoyed the trip. Mr.. Graham made
pretty basket of ferns, Mr.. Schultz and
I picked the berries and then I decor
ated it with wild roses.
In the afternoon we departed for
Hilo again. as we wanted to see some
thing of the wonders of that place. We
stayed there two days and took ex-
cursions to surrounding places and
plantations. The most notable thing
was the Rainbow Falls, which must be
grand when plenty of water is to be
had. The legend of the falls is very
pretty

WONDERS Of
VOLCANO
A. P. kletzsch Writes TO
Milwaukee of
Them.

The Evening Wisconsin, of Milwau-
kee, Wis, contains the following long
and interesting letter from A. P
Kletzsch who visited here a couple of
months ago, and who visited the vol
cano during its activity:
The marvellous volcanoes of the Ha-
waiian islands form the topic of an
interesting letter recently received by
Herman O Kletzsch from his brother,
some time there.
UP KILAUEA AT NIGHT
made the ascent of Kilauea at night,
trayersing a narrow path winding
through the lava beds, in order to
reach the edge of the crater. Mr..
KIetzsch writes:
"A week ago Sunday we left (Hono-
lulu) on a special boat for Hilo on the
island of Hawaii, about 225 miles from
here. We reached there Monday after
noon and took the train for the volca-
no, the last nine miles by stage, ar
irving at the crater by Gas o'clock the
same evening, /. E., Monday. After we
had eaten our dinner we proceeded to
the opening of the volcano, where the
eruption had taken place. Kilauea
crater is about twelve square miles in
area and surrounded entirely by high
cliffs ranging from 700 to 400 feet high.
I'VE descended about 1000 feet by
means of winding paths and after
reaching the bottom had to traverse
very narrow paths of dense tropical
foliage. The tropical night was very
clear, and as we looked up at the high
cliffs which arose perpendicularly be-
fore US it was indeed with a feeling of
awe. The shivers passed up and down
ones back to look upon such stupen-
dous problem. But the great sight was
ahead of US and such small matters
did not impress us that night. Ar
irving at the pit of our descent we
struck the lava fields of 1881 and 1895,
fully two miles distant from the open
ing. Gradually we wendell our way
upwards over peculiar formations of
lava. In the darkness of the night the
peculiaritieS of this once black mass
were lost sight of, since our entire OBJ
ject was to see the burning cauldron as
quickly as possible. Our ascent grad
ually took US up 1000 feet again over
an uneven road, winding through small
hills and deep valleys of the old lava,
, or past some steaming crevice or wide
rent in the rocks or the lava. Finally,
after a hard march of one hour and
forty minutes, we stood on the edge of
the greatest active volcano in the
world.

A MAGNIFICENT VIEW.
"After walking about the edge of this
extinct crater for about a mile we turn
ed our way back to proceed to Lovers
Leap. lookout spot on the big crater
Of Kilauea. A nice walk of fifteen min
utes brought us thither and there we
beheld one of the most magnificent
views I ever gazed upon. One can
only deal in the superlative here. Be
fore US was the ocean of black lava
over which we passed the evening be-
fore with the trail which We followed
winding like a thread through it. In
the distance about three miles from us
was a large opening from which the
sulphur fumes We're pouring forth. The
whole was enclosed by perpendicular
walls rising to various heights.
Looking down into the dizzy depths
was like challenging death. The eye
gradually swept westward over the
most beautiful panorama to where
the lovely volcano Mauna Loa grad
ualIy inclined upward to a height of
IA 500 feet above the sea level. These
heights mean something in this part of
the world as the mountains do not rise
from a wide surrounding country. The
sea on both sides is only a few hours
away It takes time to take in a view
of this kind 1t was divineIy beautiful
in the morning sunshine and satanical-
ly terrible to think that one false step
would mean the end for eternity.
THE MOVING LAVA MASS.
I'm the afternoon we again walked
over to the crater. as the Goddess of
Volcanoes in Hawaiian legend. Madam
Pele, was again showing fresh signs Of
uneasiness. During this trip we had
plenty of time to study the character OF
the lava over which we passed the
evening before. Imagine a huge yes
sci a bout four miles in diameter and
1900 feet deep on the average, then an
opening about two-thirds across the
cauldron, from which flowed a heavy
black mass, the mouth rising at that
point bout 1000 feet and then gradual
" sloping off to the edges.
THE surface of this mass is an I'M
dulating one, with mounds thirty feet
high and then depressions of the same
depth cracked in every conceivable way

KILAUEA IKPS WONDERFUL
CRATER

Next morning we proceeded to XII
lauea Xxi, an extinct but wonderful era
ter about a mile from the hotel. We
passed through dense masses of trop-
zeal foliage and wildwood for about
half an hour when suddenly We We're
brought to a stop. Before us lay hole
one mile in diameter, the sides almost
perpendicular to a depth of 100 feet,
the bottom perfectly black and covered
by about seven small mounds. The
sides We're clothed with foliage. The
whole made a most terrifying impress
sion on me and recoiIed from the edge
of the awful pit as if struck by a trip
hammer. Gradually my breath came
back and I again ventured to the edge
to drink in the fearful situation, as it
were.
What transpired here years ago can
only be surmised. but the grandeur is
so impressive that one feels it must
have been caused by an awful commo-
ton. Being very much like an invert-
ed truncated cone, it reminds one of a
cage in which bicycles used to race on
the stage. What a grand place this
would be for automobiles to contend in
We're it a bit more accessible.

FOUND SKELETON
 OF UNKNOWN MAN
The Bones Appeared Fresh Frightened Mex Fled
 After Discovery

A. Forest. of the Forest ranch in Sulphur Springs Valley brought re port to the city yesterday of the find ing of the skeleton of a man believed to have been either murdered or to have died while making his way through the country.
 The bones were-fOund about twenty miles below the city, in the near vi. cinity of the Cowan ranch. and their condition as hastily judged by the frightened Mexican who made the find. indicated that they had not been lying long in the desert.
 The Mexican first found in the trail a pair of shoes. Later he found sev. eral torn pieces of clothing. and then came upon a jawbOne lying at one side of the road. In the jawbOne were couple of teeth which he says were filled with gold. a circumstance that would indicate the owner to have been white man. Finding of the iawbone frightened the Mexican and when at a little distance he saw the skeleton of a man he fled precipitate- ly.
 In the section where the skeleton is said to be there are many coyotes and in the event of man dying there his body would speedily be stripped of clothing and the bones picked clean by the hungry animals. IL is thought that this is what has occurred in the present case. A party will go out to- day to investigate the story of the Mexican No one has been missed lately who might have gone in the di rection of the COwan ranch. so far as known. but proSpectors are continual ly travelling through that section. and it is not impossible that when search is made some evidence may be found about the clothing the Mexican found in the neighborhOOd of the bones that will throw some light on the identity of their owner.

"A WORD TO THE WISE"
Clifton Herald.


 There is a little squirm and scrim- mage going on in Graham county pol itics over a controlling interest in one of it's most prominent newspapers. It takes pluck and energy to run an up- to-date newspaper, supplemented with a fair amount of coin of the realm. Besides, there are the grounds upon which a newspaper stands in it's home environment. Democratic today and Republican tomorrow, according as to how strong the hot air blows the greenbacks, will have little weight in the hearts of the common people, who are at the present time looking toward the Democratic party for their salvation. The Democratic pulse is neither above nor below normal, but slowly and surely pulsating toward the goal of true American independ- ence, which means reform of present Republican graft and corruption. Let oy-gones be by-gones and the shade of Mark Hanna rest where they be- long in the history of American pol itics. To us, the Democrats of Ora ham county, there remains a mission to perform Only by thicker and chi canery have we been turned down. Now be wise and not listen to the smooth-tongued Republican with his can of nuggets who would inflIse dis cord and sedition into the ranks that cannot be broken. There is much that can be said upon this subject, but a word to the wise is sufficient.

LICENSE MONEY IS
 RUNNING HIGH
COLLECTIONS FOR THIS YEAR WILL EXCEED ALL PREW-
 OUS RECORDS.
Win Go From s12.ooo to SIS. 900 Over Previous Years-coIIections for oc- tober the Heaviest of Year-Much Prosperity in the County.

Sheriff Hunt spent yesterday in the city on official business, returning to Tombstone in the evening with a Mexican prisoner sent from here for burglary.
 While in town Sheriff Hunt said that the licenses collected by his of. flee for October in the county and turned over Jo Treasurer Gaines made a larger total than had ever before been marked up on the books of the county for a single month. $6,27I was the sum.
 For the entire year the sheriff ven tured the opinion that the total col lection of licenses through his office will make total in excess of the record of any previous year to the important amount of from $12,OOO to $15,000. Collections have been made closely and with care that none from whom license money was due should be overlooked. All the money coL lected has been handled in systematic manner in the office of the Sheriff, and has gone without delay into the office of the treasurer. The increase in amounts collected for the several months the Sherltt attributes princi- pally to very largely increased busi. ness throughout the county. No DOT. uon of the latter has lately been found wanting in activity, advance. ment and prosperity ruling all along the line.
 While the collections made in Octo Der were the largest of the year, the collections for November made no mean figure, totaling s5,75O, or only about $500 less than the collections for October. The collections in Oc- tober were S1,950 for gambling H- censes, and S4,327 for other licenses. In November $2,50O was collected from the gamblers and $3,2OO from other licenses. Bisbee paid license during November on 4S gambling games.

INSPECTOR WILL
 COME TO CITY
Postmaster Cassidy Receives Notice From Washington
 Changes in Office

Postmaster Cassidy 'yesterday re- ceiyed from the First Assistant Posi- master General a letter in response to that which he recently forwarded the postOffice department with regard to The need of larger quarters for the Bisbee pOstofice and increased help. The reply briefly acknowledged re- ceipt of the letter and accompanying proposals to provide suitable quarters and stated in conclusion that an in' spector would be sent to Bisbee from tho pOstoffice as soon as practicable.
 From the manner of the letter the opinion is gathered that the post of. fee department will act speedily and that an inspector may be looked for on the ground within short time. The need of his coming and Of definite recommendations for improvement in the Bisbee postOffice quarters and equipment grows daily more appa- rent. Every day crowds jamb the present pOstoface, and every cay the clerks in the cramped quarters to which they are now confined with their heavy work are becoming less and less able to satisfactorily handle tAFli HbIhs flAutl lD llfilbtlFto OI the public.
 In order 10 improve the situation to an extent, If possible, Postmaster Gas sidy yesterday gave notice that com mencing on the 10th, the money. reg istry and package windows at the of flee would be kept open until s p. m Commencing next Sunday morning the registry and stamp windows will be kept open on that day from 10: 90 to 12. These rules will hold good until the first of the year. They will be found particularly agreeable by those sending out holiday packages and mail. This increased business has already set in heavily. and the outlook is that it will crowd the post office heavier this year than ever be fore. The public is reminded in this regard that the earlier in the day that mail Is got into the office the more certain it is Of going out on good time and getting to it's destination promps ly.
