to Honolulu to prepare for photo

ing bit of tropical island scenery that
had ever pleased our eyes.
The talk at table naturally turned to
means of transportation to the wind
ward side. Mine host Hay had been
for many years pioneer coach driver
in Dakota and Montana. He also drove
coaches on the Island of Hawaii, where
he demonstrated to his employers that
a white man could drive the japanese
out of the stage, coach business, make
money, and induce people to travel at
low fares In fact, Hay s motto as
coach driver in Hawaii was to reduce
fares twothirds and carry a dozen pas
sengers where only two were carried
before.

He declared he had given up the bev-

the package from which it was made,

it proudly, took one sniff, and exclaim-

PUNALUU VALLEY.

From the moment we left our motor
behind, the beauties of the trip began
to open up. Punaluu valley spread out
before us for miles and miles, print
tive forest, an almost untouched bit of
Oahu where, beyond the ricefelds only
native woods and shrubs seemed to
grow. AS we began the climb it was
dreamlike to look down upon the green
through which wound a silver stream,
while beyond were the mountains, even
to the Nuuanu pail AT our feet as
we looked makai was the shining sea,
the glistening canefelds and the rice
swamp, but more beautiful still, the
native forests of tree and fern about
US on either hand. Through the dense
forest of puhala we made our way,
friend Leckenby stopping every now
and then to examine the fiber of leaf
stem or root. The long multitudinous
aerial roots of the puhala seemed to
fascinate him. "What an opportunity

It did not take US long to unpack
our belongings at the Hauula Palace
Hotel and start out for Kaliuwaa val
ley.
Kaliuwaa means Waiting Canoe y
and there is a tradition of king or
queen who fed up this valley, sealed
the heights and left canoe upright
against the cliffs. The impress is still
there. The canoe was about FIVE hun.
dred feet long We did not see the
owner.
1t is a pleasant mile walk through
a canefeld to the valley and then an
other mile through the long grass to
the mouth of a gorge that closes in
until the sun may be seen only at mid
day above the green walls that tower
hundreds of feet. A mile more along
the edge of a stony torrent and through
groves of ohea and you stand facing
the waterfall at the head of the gorge
"a stream of flowing silver that
tumbles down, a hundred feet perhaps,
from the end of another gorge above.
High mountains surround you, steep
and precipitous. On one side is the
stone canoe, great stone gully that
rises perpendicularly from the edge of
the stream to the very top of the cliffs.
Look down stream and you have a bit
of South New Zealand opening before
You, gorge filed with ferns and
MOSES. Ferns cling to the cliffs from
top to bottom until the rock is com
pletely hidden. Moses abound every
where, the trees are covered with
them. 1t is bit of fairyland that
has its counterpart nowhere on the is
land of Oahu, and is worth coming not
miles, but across the sea to revel in.
A ladder, or better still stone steps,
such as they build up the face of the
cliffs at Capri, Italy, would lead you
above the waterfall to still another
gorge, and a half mile walk along this
/ believe to the trail that J. B. Castle
IS cutting across mountains from Puma
luu to Kaipapau-a trail that affords
par excellence the finest ten miles of
scenery to be found on this island or
perhaps any other in the group. A
path through a fairyland of ferns,
MOSES and tropical growth that those
who have merely done Tantalus and
the cliffs of Nuuanu little dream exists
on Oahu. Native palms are seen here
in all their 'bristle glory, forests of
puhala and groves of mountain apple,
to say nothing of forests of koa and
vanilla vines running riot in the wild.
We started out for the Punaluu Kali
papau trail shortly after daylight, the
gasoline car being put at our disposal.
A dollar would charter it for party
of five to ten wishing to cover the
three miles to the mouth of Punaluu
valley by this means.

A GARDEN OF THE GODS.
AS we wound our way along the mar
row trail that clings to the side of the
mountain our wonder increased that
this part of the island has never been
exploited in any of its descriptive lit
erature. Situated near any city of
New Zealand or Australia, it would be
advertised TO the world, excursionists
directed to the trail and the way thith-
er made easy. For six miles we wound
our way upward until we could look
down sheer two to three thousand feet
to the valley and sea below. In some
places we gazed down a perpendicular
wall of fern. We touched rocks with
our feet and sent them over the edge
of the trail and listened for seconds
to hear the first sound of its striking
any obstruction. We gazed at the
pail, many miles away, turned around
the corner of a mountain and saw the
sea down a distant valley, crossed
saddle, passed over a ridge and looked
down into still another valley Here
the beautiful native palm of Hawaii,
one of the most majestic in the world,
burst upon our vision. A half hour s
descent and we stumbled upon two
grass houses built upon the edge of
turbulent mountain stream, the bed
of which was here 1000 feet above the
level Of the sea. Another hour s walk
and we had reached point where the
trail became impossible, but there was
the glory of that eight-mile walk back
again-and we tackled it eagerly. 81

FLUSH TIMES ARE IN
STORE FOR CAMP
BUCKSKIN
Buckskin. March Is. 1908.

Ed Mollart and myself returned from
the West Cornstock on Saturday and
thought few remarks ON what we saw
at the new camp might interest the
readers of the Times.
There is no question of doubt in NV
mind and others that talked with. who
are expert mining men, who have not
pronounced it one of the richest gold
strikes made in Nevada for years. I
found If was no small strata, but saw
some well defined veins that have been
sunk on all the way from 50 to 100 feet
and was shown ore that would run from
g to s6 per pound.
Messrs. Selby and Warner and several
others have some very rich properties.
z. Ullman and George Hassett and
Mr.. Harmon sold claim not long ago
for several thousand dollars.
An ideal townsite has been laid out
and patented. An abundance OF wood
and water IS close at hand, and as The

While in Virginia / heard OF the big
find in Buckskin on the claims owned
by Montague ana Ballenstein. The re-
port was such fattering one that |
thought, like the Missourian, they would
have to show me. When / arrived in
Buckskin l met Mr.. Gates, who is oper.

teal mining man and knows when be

Gates IS sacking for shipment will mill
up IN the hundreds. Several assays have
been made of samples which have run
over 5000 to the ton. Quite a number
of people have visited the property and
pronounce il the richest and largest vein
they have seen on the coast.
/ still have the same opinion in re-
gard to the surrounding mining country
of Buckskin. and that is that Buckskin
will be one of the greatest mineral pro
ducers in the country. All this camp
needs is few more men like Mr.. Gates,
who is not afraid to put in his time and
money TO extract the precious metals
that are hidden in the hills around
Buckskin. Yours respectfully,
