the land, that none dared ever as
cend to its summit; as we look out
on this magnificent night scene we
wonder what those primitive red
men would have thought if they
might have looked down upon the
glittering show under modern con-
ditions.
Marin County, of which this
mountain is the apex, is one of the

and it is a remarkable coincidence
that the first cow MIXED in Califor-
mia was MIXED at the base of this
mountain. When Kotzebue, the
Russian explorer, landed here ne

had succeeded in demonstrating one
of the wild COWS and started the
milk industry in the Golden State.
The twelve thousand acres OF
woodland, including primeval for

thousands of deer and other game
animals. One may sit and watch
