here that wisdonn of the ancients
felled. The engineers were giving
.up the problem, when a youth -
despised youth -canoe to the re•
acne. A young man of 21 sum -
mere, sur-
veyed
r-
peers, went over the g
rgun , u
veyed it, planned a route and took
the roadup the Canon to Silver
i
Plume n triumph. This engi-
neering feat is worth going all
the journey to see, ,
The road circles round the left
side ofGeorgetown as you proceed
up the Canon.
As it leaves' Georgetown the
train passes alongside the creek
through the Devil's Gap. The
train proceeds up the Canon for
three -quarter's of a mile and there
crosses Clear Creek and turns
back until it reaches the Devil's
Gap whore it re -crosses the creek
on an iron bridge -80 feet above
the spot wherea fow moments be-
fore it passed through the Gap.
Thus is formed the' far-famed
Loop of Clear Creek Canon.
After passing o'er the Devil's
Gap on what is called the high
bridge, on up the canon goes the
train, and at about a mtle's dis-
tance from Georgetown for the
third time grosses the creek.
Winding in and out for some dis-
tance, it again for the fourth
time crosses the creek. We wind
around for a while until the last
curve is reached. There standing
at the side of the car• we look down
the canon, and we see the four
bridges,the track like an immense
serpent coiled around, and yonder

that int the West, with which my

on a settle so vast, and appears to
an Bastener, so exaggerated, that
one seems to imbibe that spirit of
vastness and exaggeration whether
d will or so. Yon will therefore
r•et down as tbe effect of ensiron-
anent and climate any statement
which you can't set down as fact.
With this explanation, which
is intended to save my reputation
i will invite you to accompany
"'sin Qn a trip lip ('Hear Creek
t' -lou.
We leave Denver, the Queen
City of the Plains,bythe Colorado
Central is a narrow gauge road,
and well it may bo, for if ever a
railroad had to pass through some
strait places, and carefully follow
the narrow wny, that road is the
Colorado Central as it winds up,
the course of Clear Creek.
For the first fifteen miles there
is nothing particular to attract the
attention, unless it be the prickly -
pear cactus, or the Spanish bay-
onet plant that one sees scattered
over the plains. Forty-five min-
utes after leavingDenver we enter
the Canon. At first the traveller
almost wishes he were safely back
to Denver; for towering above
him for hundreds -nay, at times
thousands of feet are masses of
rocks that hide the sun in a clear
sky as late as ten o'clock. The
thought comes and will not away
-supposing some portion of these one and a -half miles away, and
rock masses should. come tbund- 700 feet below us are the top of the
Bring down upon this train. But houses of Georgetown. Above
the rock does net come down. It
stands grand and sublime, looking
down with contempt upon the
train wending its way serpent -
like along the chasm, as though it
-would not deign to. take the
trouble to crush anything so in-
significant.
Now that we enter the Canon,
we take up a position is the open
observation carat the rear of the
train: If you wish to protect
your eyes from the cinders, you
had better invest in a pair .of
goggles. Just as we begin to feel
at home among the well named
Rockies, we are told to watch out
for the Overhanging Rock.
We thrust our heads out far
enough to enable us to see straight
up beyond the roof of the car -
we see our train passing under a
mass of overhanging rocks, con-
taining many thousand tons. We
begin to wonder what evil spirit
possessed us to start on this dare-
devil trip without at' least first
making a will, disposing of our
sermun$. But it is too late, so
must make the best of it.
But the Canon widens now and
again; the hills slope back a little
more gracefully. What can those
objects be far up on the heights
that seem to move ? •Cattle -can
it be? . Yes; but however do they
manage to keep their footing on
those steep inclines? These,
stranger, are not ordinary cattle.
They are side -wheelers --the legs
on one aide are long ; on the other
side they are short ; so they find
no difficulty in keeping their foot-
ing. Yes ; but how do they get
along on level ground ? That,too
is provided for. Some of the ani-
mals have the short legs "on the
left side. They get together -one
of each -and leaning against each
other walk on their long legs.
What are you laughing at? Is
this not another proof of the
evolution theory l
The Canon closes in again, and
instead of cattle we see something
now in the line of telegraph poles.
There, is po soil to hold wooden
poles. Instead of these,therelore,
iron poles er posts are inserted in
ibe solid -rocks. These iron posts
have wooden crosspiece which
hold the wires.,
But the newsboy warns us that
another sight is in store for us.
We turn our backs to the -engine
and look up at a certain angle,and
as the train wheels round a curve
we catch sight of
MOTHER GRUNDY.
and around us are the everlasting
hills; and in the distance are the
snow-capped giants, that never
to uncover their heads even
in the presence of a July sun.
We would like to stop right here
and drink in the sight; but this is
not an otd time stage coach, but a
modern train. and soon ,we lose
sight of Georgetown and th'ie loop
and find eueselves in the - mining
town of Silver Plume, 9,176 feet l
above sea level, ,
a l and4000 feet
higher than Denver. o
Awaiting the arrival of the
train, is a stage,ready to take any
who wish to visit one of the many
mines of Silver Plume. Four
ladies and a gentleman, along
with myself take our seats, and
aro driven through the village.
As we reach the outskirts, we
notice that a fence has been placed
across the road directly ahead of
us, and surmounting a post is a
yellow. flag. Upon inquiring, the:
guide informs us that it is a case
of .small ,pox. Our curiosity is
not sufficient to prompt us to in-
vestigate Silver Plume small-pox.We take for granted that it `is no
more desirable here than else-
where. Making a detour to avoid
this plague -infested quarter, we
have only half .a mile to travel,
which road might be either better
or worse. After our half -mile
,tourney we find that the road stops
short, for we are at the mouth of
the
VICTORIA TUNNEL MINE.
The horses are tied. Three
lanterns are produced and lighted
by the guide, rho carries one,and
hands the others to the two male
members of the party. We are
now r•eady`toenter the mine. The
guide leads, The ladies are scat-
tered between the lights.
The main tunnel of the mine is
about eight feet high and about
ten feet wide. We proceed
straight into the mountain, walk-
ing on boards laid between the
narrow tracks upon which the
miners run their cars. The main
tunnel is double tracked.
The guide walks r'ap:dly, stop-
ping every now and then to make
some explanation. As we pass
along,we see hero and there a vn
of ore glittering in the light of ourlanterns. As we stand admiring
the strange, but truly beautiful
scene, the words of Job come back
with a deeper meaning and cloth-
ed with a now beauty. (Job 28;
1,2,5 -ti)
"Surely there is a mine for the
silver; and a place for gold which
they refine. Iron is taken out of
the earth, and brass is molten out
of the stone. As for the earth,
out of it cometh bread and under-
neath it is turned up as it were
by tiro. The stone thereof are the
place of sapphires, and it hath
dust of gold.”
"That path no bird of prey
knoweth,neitber hath the falcon's
eye seen it. Tho proud beasts have
not trodden it, nor hath the fierce
lion passed thereby." •
We proceed in a straight line
fora little over one quarter of a
mile, when we come' to the end of
the main tunnel, and aro now '700
feet under the grass.
The guide here orders the ladies
to stand in the centro of the tun-
nel, the gentlemen to stand to
one side and turn down the lan-
terns. We do so, and see an un -
looked foe effect. We thought
we should bo in Egyptian dark-
ness. Not so. The light coming
into the tunnel one quarter of a
mile away is still sufficiently
strong to cast the ladies' shows
on the end of the tunnel.. In order
travel, however, we require the
aid of the lanterns.
Wo retrace our steps a short
ide.
3ora we enter a Wiwi only about,
t
one.half ;as- wide as the QUO we
have left. We proceed a couple of,
bundrecl yards, when a fldavy

feel my hat ai oat lil

heafrt males a desperate effort to
got through my throat, at the
same time the mountain seems to
tremble,
Before we know what has hap-
pened there conies auother4Boom t'
andthe same "phenomena are re'
peated with intensified effect.
The guide quietly explains that it
is merely a blast going off in an-
other part of the mountain.
Ile proceeds to open a door that
stoles the passage, but he closes it
immediately for there rushes out
a volume of air so strongly loaded
with sulphuric acid gas that I
quite agreed with the lady of our
party who said, that, all put to-
gether suggested the 'Infernal Re -
pone.'
' After a few moments the door
opened and the air seemed clear.
This was explained by the fact
that there were numerous air
shafts leading from ono mine to
entthor, by means of which the
air was kept in circulation'.
After proceeding about 500yards
we return to the main tunnel and
pass along to another by-path in
the mountain, where we •find some
ore ready to be conveyed from the
mine. The guide breaks oft' a
sample for each of us. The mine
yields silver, lead and copper.
Leaving the mine we drive
back through the village to the
hotel for dinner, t'or which I and
ready. .
Now ata mountain mining vil-
lage hotel you must not expect a
neatly dressed waiter to come and
stpnd beside your chair and say
This is an overhanging mass of
granite on which may be seen the
outline of faces in the rock.
We have been passing places on
the road ; but as we started out to
see rocks and scenery we have
paid no attention to places. We
note some of the names, bearing
in mind that all you can see Of
some of these pluses is a sign
board at the side of the track.
We pass, first of all, Golden, a
town of some size. Then we
strike tiueh romantic names as
as Chimney Guy Gulee, Beaver
Brook, Big Hill, Forks Creek and
Flayd Hill.
Then comes the better known
health resort, Idaho Springs. Af-
ter we leave Idaho Springs we be-
gin to feel at home, for the next
is at Lawson which sounds fa-
miliar. Then we strike a town
of some sze, called Georgetown-
-which was of course, named after
the enterprising commercial cen-
tre of that name in Ontario.
Now let us pause a moment to
take our bearings.
At Denver we were 5,170 feet
above sea level. Wo have one
station more to reach. That is
Silver Plume. Silver Plume is

TIT FOR TAT.
Communicated.
To the Editor of the ()Unfelt Neta Erct
I./we SIR.—A gentleman, desirous of
catching the train that leaves Wing-
liam at 7 a. m. for places south,stepped
hurriedly on the platform just as the
train from the east which leaves a few
minutes earlier,was leaving the station.
These trains commonly called the
Toronto and the London, run on the
same line as far as the junction, where
the one turns east the other south.
Coming thus hurriedly on the platform
and anxious not to miss the train, our
traveller took what he supposed the
quickest method of ascertaining the
destination of the slowly receding train
by suddenly accosting a large man -one
of the type so often -seen lounging on
station platforms and other p ublic
places, with large expanse of waistcoat
from which dangled a heavy chain and
numerous seals, with large hands
thrust deeply into breeches-pookets,and
eyes made preternaturally large and
round by staring boldy at every woman
that comes within his range of vision
as•he slowly paces to and fro, expector-
ating to the right and left with much pre-
cision and regularity by way of accom-
paniment to the movement. To the
breathless query of our traveller. "Is
that the London train ?" the fat man

But now lost time must be made

trhottle clear back into the tender
and as it is all down grade, in a
short time the telegraph poles
looked to be as close together as
railway ties, and the suction drew
all the water out of an irrigating
ditch along the track. The rails
began to curl up behind the track
and the water in the tanks froze
up. A tenderfoot dared to put
his head out of a window. He
immediately became bald. His
bat, however, was caught in the
suction, and so firmly held against
the rear end of the car, that it
took three men and two boyo to
pull it off.
When the train at last came
to a stop at theUnion Depot at
Denver, it was exactly five min-

his heel, expectorating again with ap-
parently much satisfaction. Our
traveller made no reply, but going into
the station ascertained from the oblig-
ing official that his train would be
in in five minutes. A. little later he
was seated in a comfortable car on his
way to Blyth where some pressing
business would detain him for some
hours, and looking up he saw his fat
aegnaintanoe of vast extent of wateh
chain and seals, sitting a few seats in
front of him. "Confound that fellow"
thought our traveller, "why he was
waiting for this very train, and could
have told me, the bear." An hour later
when turning the corner of a street in
Blyth he came soddenly face to face
with the "bear",who before he had time
to recognise the victim of his rudeness
thus accosted our traveller, "Could you
tell me hocq many hardware stares
there are in thie place?" while speaking
he was attracted by an odd expression
in the eyes of the man he addressed,
an expression of amusement, beneath
which lurked danger, as our traveller
gnisically replied, "I aint a city direc-
