It U only about rive; hours travel, from tue city to the summit if the highest peak, most of wlikli distinct can be made Vert coniforlal.ly ou horseback. There Is it pHid lrll leading from lbs base to the summit and one can leave the ciu iu the morning, ascend to thn top, spend three or four hours there and reach home by dusk. The trip is b) tut mrnns n wearisome nno and wheu once aloof litis towering piece of na tuie's wot k, the limrNt can gaxn. foi hours on some of the most niagnifiretii scenery the ee ever looked upnit. One cull Miami on the summit and aee California, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico. Tim walls of the Grand Cannon are very perceptible, and the smoke from llio machinery at the Jerome mines can be seen. The lake aud valles suriouiidiiig the mountain affoid a delightful picture. A few years since aud ihc-se moun tains were believed to be rich iu min eral, and at one lime quite an excite ment was created by the discovery of what was believed lo be a licb gold ledge, but no developments have ever been made, aud whether the Skylight City Is at the very base of a rich min eral field will no doubt remain in mys tery for many years to come. On the north side of this mountain is located one of the lltiest springs iu AiUuiia. It is known as the Jack Smith spring, aud affords water onougfi to supply a cily of twentt thousand inhabitants. Here Is the fountain fiom which Flagstaff will soon obtain her water supply. The water works system which will be elected at once, and is ono of the greatest needs of the cily, will be con structed from this spring to Flagstaff, a distance of seventeen nnles. Theie are other points of interest surrounding the 8kyligl(t Cily. About tweuty miles south of' bore is Oak creek. It is a nice clear stream of living water and has many objects of,' interest to the pleasure seeker. It abounds in mountain trout aud many PMfifuijra "pant1 bvjoiJipcltlz'ens and 'visitors augllng-in tb'is Vtream'.. JtiNt southeast of the city about eight tulles is one of tbe mysteries of the iiinieeutb century. After a pleasaot drive of about one hour over smooth mads, through valleys and pine lands, oii are unawares at the brink of an awful chasm. Alighting from your vehicle of cnnvetaiics a short walk dowu a narrow antl precipitous path tilings ton to I lie horatt of a pre-his-totic people. Here tire situated with in cliffs of rock tliien mid four liun dikd feet In height, oavt-8, which no doubt have been inhabited by a race of people, ulme histtir) is a lilauk. 'lliere aie several bundled of these cave-, many of which are sepal ated from each other by nieaus of walls built of rock and cement. Pieces of crockery and oilier Ittiicles are jet to be found, and one canspeud hours at these caves poudeiiuif over their his tory. Tlime Is only one way of going in and out of the ca;i)iiii where ibese caves alesilUiitfd, and how tbe race win once made these ruck houses their homes and what they subsisted ou is as gieat a conundrum as the race itself. History fails to give Any ac count of this people, bul that some lace once lived iu these isolated and di so led homes no one will deny who visit these tuiiis. To the tioilh of these cafes about ix or seven miles is another curiosity an if teat iu ils ms leiles as ihe cae dwellets. It is what is known as die cliff dwellers. These caves aiu situated in'llio side of a mountain, and ate sbuilaily construct ed to those of tlmfccsve dwellings. The lace which once dwell hero are of im unknown qiiauiity.ut everything would indicate, owiug tolbe situation of iheir homes, that Imv were of a warlike tribe.' Built these 'places of curiosity are visited by huudteds ot people evciy J ear. The caves ale fsht (feuajing and id the course of time will dually go to luiu, mid mail ing be left to mark the homes ot a bj-gono peojile. PEOK'S PEAK. Mle Peek's A Lady Who Dotee on Dlzsy Heluhts. Miss Annie S. Peck, representing the New York World, was in Flagstaff annul three weeks ago and tis'ted tbe Giand Canyon, spending four or live dajs there. She left for Southern Califuroia, and on bcr arrival In Lns Angeles was Interviewed ou the sub ject of nitiuntain climbing by a rep tri er for the Herald, with the following result: Miss. Annie S. Pck, the greatest woman mountain climber in the woi Id, J was In 'lie cily testerday on her way home to Providence, B I,, after ac I'omplishing the most venturesome feat in her caieer iu funking the ascent of Ihe Mexican mountains, Popocate petl and Oiizaha. ..Miss Peck drat at tained prominence as a mountaineer when she ascended the heights of the Matterhorn iu Switzeiland, the most difficult ascent in the Alps. Miss Peck enjoys tlm destiuction of being ihe tbiid woman who succeeded iu safely returning fiom its summit. Her more recent achievements with tbe precipltom mountains of the torrid zone in Mexico aiu of even greater in terest than hor experiences in Switzer land. Miss Peek Is a special cotru Kpoiideni for llio Ne.w York World, aud msde the tiip to Mexico in the interest of i hat journal. The iuiiepld climber was seen at the Van Nuys yesterday before leaving for San Diego und related some of her expei lend s ou the Mexico trip. Miss Peck said: "I climb mountains because I love to do it. There is excitement iu achieving fe.tts that no ono else has Hticceeded in accomplishing and satis faction iu reaching a goal which issep parated from you ny dangers aud diffi culties. Then the scenery and the view one gets from standing on a high mountain Is recompense for all the enemy which is expended in reaching the summit. '' ' " I'There is a fascination ' In braving tbe dangers of -the 'Alps and scaling their lofty pyramids of rock and snow which is indi"piitable. Every moment of such climbing is a' pleasure to the hour when one returns triumphant aud happy even tbougb weary and footsore "It was wilb some trepidation that I made plans for Ihe ascent nf Poise calepetl. I started out with live In dians aud a Mexican. The Hist-pa it of the tllp whs made on horseback. The leal climb began at Las I'litcc. "I started at a very moderate pace, making ftvqiieui balls as I zig.g d up that long snowy incline, fiisi over black Volcanic sand and then nt-iors fields of snow. At last I leached the crater, which is really a splendid sighi. It has almost perpendicular wall, which rise to a height of fiom live bundled to a thousand feet. The miueis heie aie let dowu to proruie tbe sulphur by means of a bucket and windlass. I was forttiuate iu having a tine view exceptionally clear foi the season. My guide informed me tbat in reaching tbe summit of Mi. Po pocatepetl I have achieved iu itioun taiu climbing tbat which no othei woman has ever done. I am fully satisded with Ihe expedition, although I confess that I am not anxious to te peal ii, for a lime at least. While iu Mexico my highest ambi tion was to conquer the heights of Ml. Otizaba, 18,300 feet HboVe sea level, and 600 feet higher than Ml. Popocat epetl. I left the City of Mexico ou the 27th of last April. This was the hat dast climb that I have ever made. All the violent exet liou of the ti ip was made under the hot sun of a torrid cli mate, making one beware of sun stroke. As we neared the summit the atmosphere was so very light that we proceeded with difficulty. After tak ing ten or a dozen steps we wele com pelled to, -lop and lest. Tuone.n nl)t were in the patty give out liefoiu (b.-i leached the summit, and waited until Ibt, rest of us it-turned I'lm descent was the hardest part nf the journey, but we reached tbe bottom at last. Now that I have climbed tbe high est mountain in Mexico I do not know where I shall go next. I do not think that I shall do any more climbing in the torrid zonp, however." Miss Peck is net a woman of remark-. able prnpnitions, but she is KSessed of wonderful vitality. The secret of my success In mountain climbing," she said, "is n good heart, a strong pair of lungs, and plenty nf detei initiation." Some Comfort In Thte. The prospector who fails to strike it rich this' season can take a crumb nf com foil in the old supeistition that finders of bonanzas always come to violent ends. In the minds of many old lime gold hunteis ibis idea is ac cepted as an undeniable fact, and the many instances conliimitory of this view will, perhaps, interest many of them. Of the original disenveiets of some of the richest mines, two were shot. three were killed by tlm caving in of their mines, several have dlstppnared never to be beard of nir.iln. Dutch William, who discovered the Cariboo gold field, tiled a piupi-; Maisliai. who found the first gold in Oillfoniii, at Sutton's mill, depended upon char ity for some, time before In died; "Mortona Plumnier," discoverer nt the richest mine iu the world, was hanged; Doughnut Hill," "Old Eureka" and "Nlnevlll Chirk" were nil three killed LEVI STRAUSS & GO.

Again the camp is agog with excitement over new strikes. Yesterday the Wedg mine opened up a four-and-a-half body of rich ore. the cottuiei ptrt of the rich strike made three weeks ago In the Keiiyou mine. The rock fait ly glitters with gold, ami much of it shows the value of a dollar an ounce. This is on Ihe 316-foot level, and every blast shows i icher ore.

The Piutes certainly knew the morning ot the outbreak that something was going to happen, as each one who bad been wot king around the canyon did not show up aud the olbeis had taken to the hills. It Is said that the Indians want to drive the whiles away from El Dorado can yon, und to do it without drawing government tioops into tlm country it is agreed tbat nno Indian will go out ami kill all the whites he csn. If ho m tkes his escape be will be heap big Indian. If the whites go on the war path the liibe will go out and kill tbe Indian. This will satisfy the whites. A few at ranged forages will soon ftighten the whites so badly tbat they will pack up hag and baggage and leave the country. It is now asserted that Steve, one of the Piutes who shot Abvntn, has been selected to locate a number nf whites and kill them off. He can get six or seven and thn whites will only got one Indian in return. In case another Indian goes out there is sure tn be a band nf sodthern Piutes trimmed up for a trip to the happy hunting ground. No "heap bad In dian" will avail them. The whites want peac, even if it lias to bo g.iined by exterminating every redskin in the country. u The Missouri River and Los Angeles Railway company has been organized with a capital of $42,000,000. The company proposes to build a road from Sioux Cite, Iowa, to Los Angeles. MARK. '. UARANTEEO. 300 Olltl-S. , "" "'iiamsmwiniiiisMHw ' THTfflTanwJ&iyiiWT'iT'rir'r""" '"""' i n ht l"' H : Mrr
