THE COCONINO ICE CAVES.
One of the Wonder of Arizona Nature's
Cold Storage System.
Arizona is known chiefly to tho
world at lar0 as tho hottest placo
in Uucle Sam's domain, and hero tho
information of a great many other
wiso' intelligent peoplo ends. ' But
Arizona is uot all hot, nor are tho
hot spots hot all tho time, says the
I ban x raneisco Call. Arizona is a
country of extremes and contradic
tions. For instance, tho southwest
corner, near Yuma, approaches to
within 100 feet of sea level, while
tho Saa Francisco peaks tower 13,-
000 feet above. In tho south are
I treeless deserts, but tho up-laads of
I tho central and northern sections
aro covered with magnificent pino
forests.
Tho ico cares, ono of Arizona's
natural curiosities, are situated about
ten miles south of - Flagstafi and
not moro than sixty miles north of
tho geographical center of tho ter
ritory, and may bo reached by a de
lightful drivo through tho pine
forests, over smooth and level roads.
It is the last place iu the world
where ono would care to look for
caves, for there is not a mountain
within a dozen miles, and the roll
ing country is densely wooded.
The entranco is from tho level
plain, and is down throush an open
ing apparently made by the caving-
j in of the crust which formerly cov-
ered the subterancan caverns. This
' S'ü. or Ias'n s probably seventy-
fire feet in diameter and twenty
fire feet deep, and the bottom is
filled with large irregular boulders
of black rnalapai or volcanic rock.
Admittance to tho cares is gained
by crawling through, and under
these boulders, the opening being
low, narrow, rough and precipitous.
Nono but small men and new women
may enter, for ono must crawl back-
wards through a passage just large
enough to squeczo one's body
through, and then drop six feet in
darkness and faith to tho floor of
the first chamber.
Hero the air is decidedly cooler.
: and a lit! In icn is Kn in ihn pno!n
of tho irregular walls. Wo continuo
i our acseeni aewn a siecp cieciirity
and over hugo masses of rock to
residont of tho
room No. 2, where a
vicinity is discovered filling his pail
with pure ico for uso at home. Here
is considerable ice oa the floor and
in tho crevices, but not in solid
masses. The air is cold and damp
and wo are reminded of tho regular
professional ico house.
Tho passago to the third and low
est chamber is even moro perilous
and difficult than any yet encoun
tered. Tho exit from tho room
aboro is through a narrow crovico
in tho wall, which inclines outward,
I
5 so; e u ! and immediately over a perpendicu
3 4pi 4 ua ! lar drop of five or six feet, and con
siderable ingenuity and agility is
required in both descending and as
cending to avoid getting stuck in
tho jagged opening. But ouo is
well repaid' for his efforts and risk,
for tho room below is a veritablo
palace, although not moro than eight
by twelve feet.
Tho floor Í3 of solid ice and thj
walls aro wainscoted with sheets of
pure ice that sparkle in tho candió
Ught like diamonds and Crystals,

It
was tho first opportunity I had over
enjoyod of sitting down on a real !
livine icebenr to cool off. and havinc '
spent fifteen summers in Southern
Arizona, 'where icebergs are rare, I
gladly embraced tho opportunity.

than a few feet, unless it should be
melted. If it melted at the surface,
why chold the water freeze again in
the lower levels?
Lnliko all others well-regulated
openings in tho earth's crust, tho
cold increases as greater depth is
reached, and ice is apparently form
ing continually in the lower cham
bers. Aboro the warm summer sun
smiles down through tho palmiest of
atmospheres and the mercury marks
eighty-firo degrees in the shade.
This is tropical Arizona. One hun
dred feet below is tho perpetual ico
of tho Artie regions. That is the
other extreme.
Undoubtedly this ' subterranean
fissuro was ruado by tho seismic dis
turbance that cracked tho earth's
crust in that region aud formed tho
Grand C&ñons of tho two Colors'lcs
eighty inile3 distant, Cation Diablo
and Cosnino Caüou, which all show
tho samo general characteristics.
. Tho ico caverns aro but a few
miles distant, and I am of tho opin
ion that they are "but a continuation
of Cosnir.d Cation, cad that thoir
subterranean passages find an outlet
in its depths.
Taken all in all, thesa ico caves of
Arizona aro Iho most wonderful
natural phenomenon that I have
ever witnessed.

It is generally beliered that light
and fresh air aro absoluto necessities
to human existence, and that if the
normal supply of either bo cut off
men cannot long exist. It appears,
howerer, that there is at least one
spot on tho globe (or, rather, in the
globe,) where a cirilized community
of humau' beings not only manage
tocxist, but which live in a flourishing
condition in a place where sunlight
is totally unknown. Wo refer, says
tho Republic, to tho "City of tho
Salt Mines," which is situated several
hundred feet below the surface at
Wiolicska, Galicia. This wonderful
! subterranean city has a population
of over a thousand men women and
children, scores of whom have- -never

This remarkable city has

church, decorated with statues, all
being fashioned from puro crystal

' streets and spacious squares, all well
ligntea witn electricity. As men
tioned in the foregoing, there are
isolated cases in this underground
city, where not a single individual
in threo or four successive genera
tions havo ever seen the sun or hare
any idea of how peoplo live on tho

salt houses aro said to bo perfect

THE CANON CANAL.
The Great Reservoir South
be Built.
of Town to
.For several weeks .the directors of
the St. Johns Irrigation company
hare been quietly at work getting
matters in shape for tho commence
ment of work on the proposed new
reservoir. During this time careful'
surveys were made by Engineer
Stafford, who prepared plans aud
drafted maps of tho work according
to the land office requirements. For
tho purpose of meeting tho expense
of constructing the dam aud making
a canal to carry tho water around
tho mesa to tho south and west, of
town tho capital stock of tho irrigar
tion company has been increased to
10,000 shares, at a par value of S10
each.
The promoters of this enterprise
wero further encouraged by a dona
tion made by the authorities of the
Mormon church amounting to$5,030,
It is now believed that the resources
of tho company are ample enough to
insure that work can bo carried on
this winter without a halt or break
of any kind. The situation being so
encouraging, the directors felt justi- '
Cod in puitiug a forco of men at
work last Monday" morningj under
the charge of Joseph O. Stradling.
At the point where the dam is to
bo located the width of the cañón is
160 feet. It is proposed to build an
embankment of earth faced with
rock work. The masonry will be
seventy feet thick, and will be
backed by earth for 100 feet more,
makiDg the total thickness of the
dam 170 feet. The height of the
dam will be forty-four feet. Two
outlets aro to be provided, twenty
four by twenty-four inches each, and
are to be placed side by side end
constructed in limestone cement.
The capacity of the resorroir will be
18,000 acre feet. Some idea of the
body of water to be impounded may
be couceired when it is stated that
while this resorroir is located about
a mile below the present largo reser
voir, that tho water will bo-twenty
feet higher than tho top of the old
reservoir. - . .
The entire work, including the
dam and ditch, are to bo finished
this winter, and enousk water, in
cluding tho old reservoir near town,
will then bo at the disposal of the
irrigation company suincjent for
watering 20,000 acres of land at St.
Johns and yicinity. - .; -
This will be enough to support
more than double our present popu-r
