CLOSING CHAPTER (Continued from page 1.) compared to the deposit, which Is about one-sixth of an inch in four days. Any article of iron, glass or any hard substance placed in it is soon coated with a crystallike deposit. Jupiter Terrace, the largest of the group, extend some 2,000 feet along the edge of the high mound of brilliantly colored deposit, immediately south of Mineral Terrace. Two large springs of 100 feet in diameter supply the main terrace seen from the driveway, as well as the Pulpit Terraces, beneath, on the eastern slope. There are a great many of these terraces in this vicinity. In addition to those mentioned are Narrow Gage, Orange Geyser, Bath and Angel. Devil's Kitchen Is the crater of an extinct volcano, and can be entered with safety through a small opening six to eight feet in diameter. When this was first discovered it contained the bones of numerous wild animals and was alive with flying bats. After spending an hour or so in looking at these springs and formations. we continued our journey towards Willow Park, where the first night’s stop was made. From the springs the elevation is 1,000 feet in three miles, but you do not realize the fact until you return over this same road a week later and you wonder how you made the ascent with as little trouble. On this afternoon we passed through the Silver Gate and the Hoodoos. This is called the Silver Gate because of the very narrow passage between high rocks rsembling silver. The Hoodoo are named from the peculiar manner in which the rocks have been thrown up, there being no regularity as to their place and laying in all conceivable shapes. Golden Gate is four miles from Mammoth Hot Spring. It is a rugged pass between the base of the lofty elevation of Bunsen Peak, through which flow the Gardner river. The sides of these rocky walls which rise 300 feet above the roadway, are covered with a yellow mass, suggesting the appropriate name, the pass Ceors. In this same pass or gate rustic falls add a charm to this beautiful spot. This fall is 60 feet and the water is furnished by the mountain snows and springs along the base of the hill. After passing Golden Gate we come into the valley, where we made the stop for the night. The camping company have tents erected sufficient to accommodate 60 to 75 people, with a kitchen tent and dining tents. The tents are large and divided into five compartments; a main hall in which are chairs, table and a stove. At this place the company have built no building in which to keep provisions, and to prevent the bears from eating it they put a pole high up in the limbs of two trees and then place their meats and other eatables in a cagelike box and draw it up with a rope and pulley. To prevent the bears from climbing the trees, they nail tin around the body of the trees. There were thirty-two passengers in our party and after supper in the big dining tent we built a big fire in front of the tents and brought out the organ, and then the party sang songs and engaged in conversation until the gong rang for ten o’clock which meant go to bed. The evenings were cool, there being snow on all the surrounding mountain peaks, and of course we had a very restful night, with the exception of some who were somewhat alarmed at the bears, who were prowling around the camp all night. In the morning we arose at 6:30, breakfast at 7:00 and then oft to Lower Geyser, Norris and Upper Geyser basins, the latter place being our next night’s resting place. Passing up to Norris basin, 10 miles we first met the geysers, being springs bf boiling water which threw the steam and water into the air for several hundred feet and on first sight it reminded one of a real live sac-

tory town, where a thousand steam engines were sending forth streams of steam. Before we came to Norris Basin we passed what is called the Obsidian Cliff and Appoliinaris Spring. The cliff extends along the roadway for a long distance and 250 to 300 feet high and presents a glistening, mir- ! rorllke effect when illuminated by ■ the sun's rays. The greater part of this mineral ■ glass is jet black, with streaks of red and yellow. The construction of the roadway along its base was by building large -fires upon the high blocks of glass, and then dashing cold water upon it shattering the rock, it being impossible to drill it so that powder might be used in blasting it. This is the only formation of its kind in the world, and was “neutral ground” for all Indianas, who used this rock for arrow heads. The Appolinaris Spring is a large spring of mineral water which is cold as you could drink it. While the geysers of Norris geyser basin do not compare with the lower or upper basiij. yet it being the first one seen it seemed more wonderful j to us. There was one place where the steam rushed out In volume as large as a barrel from some subterranean cavern, like the roar of a thousand steam engines, blowing off and keeps on continually, not having ceased a minute since it was first discovered in 1872, and the Lord only knows how long before. Every few feet apart in this whole basin, which covers at least a section of land, there is a stream of hot water flowing or shooting many feet into the air, or a steam jet playing up into the heavens. The Congress, Constant, Black Growler, Monarch, New Crater and Emerald. Pool comprises the chief attractions at Norris basin, while many smaller springs, beautifully painted, contribute to the delight of the visitor. From Norris basin we pass down through Elk Park into Gibbon River Canyon. The roadway passes along the bank of the river, along which are numerous waterfalls, for the three or four miles we traversed it. The most beautiful falls is called the Gibbon, which has a height of over 80 feet, and is in volume equal to the St. Marys river at this place, but the water is clear and pure as ever flowed down the mountain’s side. Below these falls a short distance we stopped for lunch and fed the horses, resting an hour and a half. From this place we left the Gibbon river and crossed a range of the mountains to the Fire Hole River. We did not at first comprehend why it was called the Fire Hole, but before night we concluded it was well named for when we struck the lower geyser basin, we saw thousands of boiling springs that were emptying into this stream. This lower basin has a general elevation of about 7,250 feet and around it are hills 400 to 800 feet higher. Here the hills or elevations in this basin covered with a limelike formation, which has been deposited by the hot water flowing over the ground, which prevents any vegetation from growing, and innumerable hot springs sending up streams of hot water, the like of w’hich could not be described, and which if described would not be believed by those who have not seen it. The most interesting sight in this basin are the paint pots. These are basinlike spots, where the rock and earth have been melted and boiled for centuries perhaps, until it forms a perfect paint. It is said that this material has been used in calsomining a room in one of the hotels and is pronounced the finest ever seen. From this point we drove to the upper geyser basin, where we stopped for the night. Several other sights along the road is worth mentioning, viz, the prismatic lake. Its dimensions are 250 by 400 feet. Over the central part of this spring the water is of a deep blue color, changing to green toward the margin, while that in the shallower portions of the lake surrounding the central basin has a yellow tint, gradually fading to orange. Outside the rim there is a bnTlfant red deposit which shades into purples, browns and- grays, all seemingly paneled on a groundwork of grayish white, which forms the mound built up of layers of silicious deposits upon which the spring is built. This coloring is in vivid bands, which are strikingly worked and distinct The water flows off in every direction, with constant wovelike pulsations over the scalloped and slightly raised rim of the lake, has formed a succession of terraces each a few inches in height, down the slopes of the mound. It is impossible to ex-

I aggerate the delicacy and richness of the coloring in and about this wonderful phenomenon of nature. From this point to our stopping | place for the night, which is five | miles away, we saw similar sights, more or less interesting The morning glory geyser is another on this road that deserves mention. It can only be described as a huge morning j glory 30 feet in diameter, set in the ground, and of a depth which nobody knows and out of which flows or gently boils, the water at a temperature of 146 degrees Fahrenheit. Concluded tomorrow.) IN THIRD PLACE (Continued from page 2.) the crowd, but his royal nibs says out and it was all over. Umpire Thompson narrowly escaped being mobbed at Decatur and on account of the feeling of the fans was transferred to Bluffton. The work of Thompson was so unsatisfactory that the Decatur audience rushed from the stands and threatened violence. The j police went promptly to his protection and saved the fans from disgracing themselves. —Van Wert Bulletin. Betz was slated for release, yesterday. but by a change of arrangements, made at his request, he will cover first base. Betz is a real base ball player and a man of excellent habits, but he has failed lamentably to show his true form here. For his own sake and that of the team, it is hoped he will again shine as he did when a member of the Portland team. —Van Wert Bulletin. Harry Hay was released by Manager France yesterday, but later in the day was reinstated after he had signified his willingness to abide by the club rules, and also, some special rules adopted especially for his benefit. Hay is a magnificent pitcher when he confines his efforts strictly to pitching and there is no reason why he should not make good here. —Van Wert Bulletin. We must get to hitting the ball if we are to win games. Admittedly Bluffton has the best corps of pitchers in the 1.-O. lague, but they can’t win games with four and five hits behind them. Carmichael pitched a beautiful game yesterday against Portland and was well backed up in the fielding department, although the score shows three errors for Bluffton, but the hits necessary were not forthcoming to win the game. As a result of this weakness we find ourselves the cellar champions, being clear at the bottom in the percentage column. Will we get out of it? —Bluffton Banner. Jack Smith will not play in Bluffton this season. He has financial arrangements with the Shamrocks that will keep him in Ft. Wayne. The reeeipts from the games are all pooled after each player has taken out $5 at the end of the game. The balance forms a pool to be divided at the end of the season, and if a man quits he gets only half instead of a full share. Up to last Sunday the pool was over S9OO and it is increasing about $75 a game. This is to be divided by about fourteen men, so that Jack would lost SIOO or better by leaving. —Bluffton News.
