Digging the Long Ditch

A legend: In the long ages ago,
when Florida sank low from its lofty
mountain throne and the seas began
to adjust themselves around her
slender form and the rivers and lakes
drank their fill OF the fresh water,
a tremendous whale rose in Mayport,
east, and crawled slowly; and the
first hundred years he hailed Cow
Ford, where Jacksonville now stands,
and the following fifty years this
whale wiggled and crawled under
ground and opened the ditch to the
Bone Yard" That was as far as he
steamed" He lost his rudder and
fms here and in the 156th year he
died at the Bone Yard" The deep
one-mile course from the Bone
Yard" popped open like dew water
melon a year later and it left for the
New World the marvellous blue grot-
tOs.

fish and turtles, alligators and all
living things therein seem as If sus-
pended in air.
The region of the Oklawaha is
rich in fossil remains OF the masto-
don, the hippopotami and other va
rieties of animal life, and at the
Bone Yard" Silver Springs, so cali

of whales. the verterbrae OF which
were nineteen inches in diameter,
and the petrified remains OF a marine
monster 80 feet long and FIVE feet in
diameter. There are many Indian
mounds along the river course. con-

tiful Oklawaha river has no counter
part in the world.
These unique Hart passenger and
freight steamers, especially built for
the peculiarities of this winding and
treacherous river, ninety feet in
length. have two saloon decks Of
light, airy and comfortable state
rooms for fifty and sixty passengers,
and are equipped with modern ap-
pliances for safety and comfort. The
pilots and captains are of long SER
vice.
These trusty steamers, nearly free
from vibration, glide smoothly over
unrufiet mirror waters in a narrow,
winding course, thru tropical jung
les and picturesque river v:stas,
fringed with lillies AMI 5ordered by
towering palms, entwined and fes-
tooned with towering vines and with
pendant, waving tresses Of Spanish
moss, panorama of wild scenic
beauty, past hills and orange groves
visited by the passengers, thence for
seven miles up the swift, simmer
ing Silver Springs river of indescrib
able charm. In glass bottom boats,
thru deep, transparent waters OF
changing hues of blue, Of emerald
green and other tints, one peers into
the marvellous bridal chamber" Of
the spring with rapt amazement.
The fantastic torch-light illumina-
ton of forest and river, unknown
On any other tourist route in the
world, is an impressive and mystical
scene never to be forgotten. The
whole excursion covers some go
miles of water and on the Hart lin
ers it requires about AZ hours time
to cover it. On board the yacht it
takes some Is hours for the round
trip.

W inOnah

The mysterious transparent wa
tiers OF blue covers a submerged din
ner plate with iridescent glow.
Winonah, the Indian maiden, bright
eyed was she, bathed in the waters
of Silver Springs in the time of long
ago The clear, sparkling stream of
youth cleansed her eyes and made
them radiant stars, and her raven
black hair the waters toned to silk.
Just before shutdown on all fair days
she advanced to her mirror, near the
Gardens of Arden, and could be seen
gazing into the mysterious, legended,
deep blue, watching the millions OF
sparkling, scarlet wavelets playing
over the rocks below. Then it was
that her lover, Chuluotah, would
steal away from his chief and glide
down into her mirrored drawing
room and beg her to go far away
with him out in the western seas.

Silver Springs

The marvellous, the beautiful, the
largest in the world. Silver Springs
are the outlet of an underground
river that runs under Ocala, that dis
charges into the Oklawaha river
four hundred million gallons of wa
ter. These springs have a surface
area of some three acres and are con-
tanned in five basins bearing
names suggested by the hues of the
rock and the yarigated moses there
in. The largest basin is about eighty
feet deep by two hundred feet wide,
and the water is so transparent that
a dime thrown TO the bottom can be
clearly seen and all objects placed in
this water Immediately take on an
irredescent glow. To look into these
mysterious depths forcibly reminds
one OF Jules Vern's Ten Thousand
Leagues Under the Sea-
But no pen can fully describe this
natural wonder OF the American con-

eral development in the country, and
that means better business later on for
the railroads. They are showing their
interest by giving such low rates that
almost everybody will be enabled to
make the trip
