The Most Wonderful Scenery in the World 925 Miles of Canon and 303 Waterfalls-Roc Walls 400 J Feet High Shooting Rapids and Cascades Hair breadth 'Scapes -Loss of Three Men An cient Indian Towns Fa: cinating Story. Colonel J. W. Fowell, in a letter addressed to the New York Tribune, gives the following vivid description of the marvelous scenery of tbe Colorado river: In the great southwest region of the terri tory of the United States there is a belt of country that has long been the region of myths. Gorges with cliffa overhanging to shut out the day; under-ground courses of a groat river that carries the melted snows of vast mountain cisterns; groat cataracts, whose plunging waters make roaring music, hoard on the distant mountain sunnttitswitha thou sand iumginativo embellishments, have been given as the characteristics of this region, known vaguely as the Grand Canon of tho Colorado. Jinny stories of wild adventure have been told by Indians, trappers, and prospaetera stories of walking along tho brink of the canon walls in search of a passage down to the waters, but vainly travelling for days and then perishing for thirst in sight of tho river below, which roared its mocking iuto dying ears. Other stories are current of men who have entered the gorge only to be over whelmed in an abyss of n alers; still others, of boats, and boats' crews gliding, down tho nwit't river into underground passages, to be lost forever from tho light. Such are tho legends told in tho hunter's cabin and pro specter's camp away out among the moun tains, and now and then these have found their way into public print. Expeditions sent out by the Government to explore tho Colorado and region around about have reported the canon inaccessible. Tho traditions of the e.uly Spanish adventurers make it a land unknown and forever to be unknown. The Indians of the countries nd jacent have woveu tho mysteries of it into the myths of their religion. So, Indians aud Spanish adventurers, hun'ors and prospectors have all united in telling fabulous stories of its wonders and terrors. For two or three years I have been making some geographical studies in the mountains to the east aud north, and while pursuing them, tho thought grew in my mind that these canons would be a book of revelations in tho rock-kaved biblo of geology. The thought fruited with a deter mination to read the book; so I sought for all the available information with regard to the canon land. I talked with tho fndiaus and hunters; I went among the Mormons to learn what they knew of this country adjacent to the ''Kingdom of God,'" the home of the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints." I read the report of the surveys, and I explored canons of the tributary streams that I thought would represent somewhat tho . .u. j-ru,! C'anrjn. on accounted Uuull'O Oi Wll .... - . .4. ',. ( similar geological and physical charaCl'l. ,US. From these fabulous stories and reports, facts, and from a knowledge of other canons, I came to the belief that tho "Grand Canon of tho Colorado" could be explored by descending Ihe river in small boats. I also arrived at the conclusion that what was known as tho "Grand Canon" was 5n fact a series of canons, forming the banks or walls of the Upper Colo rado, and the lower portions of tho Green aud Grand that unite to form it. These two streams unito in canons, and some persons Jield that the vaguely denned "Grand Canpn" was continued up the Green, and others that it was continued up the Grand, while others still asserted that theso streams united in a valley. One mau assured me that he, with several others, had laid out a city at the junc tion, but was driven away by the Indians. With this end in.viow, I tame from the mountains to Chicago last spring, to procure outfit and build boats. Tour of those wore made on a model devised for tho purpose of navigating canon streams; and taking them out to Green River Station, where tho Union Tacifio Railroad crosses the Green, I was ready to embark. There I had a party of nine men awaiting my arrival, and anxious to enter the "great unknown" with mo men all experienced in the wild life of the country, and most of them in boating on dangerous Streams. On the 'Hth of May we started. For a few days our way was through n river of low canons, and small, green valleys, until we reached the Uintah mountains. Through this range the river has cut a wind ing channel, forming tho Uintah sys tem of canons. Near tho lower md of this series Yampa river enters the Green by a canon. Further down, in a valley portion of the river, the Uintah and White come in. llelow this point, nbout ISO miles, we enter still another series. Low walls of grey, butt', and rust-colored sandstone shut us in. These walls slowly increase in height as we advance. The grey rocks are lost; dark red sandstones appear; the walls are broken dowja by lateral canons, increasing in number until we are in tho heart of the "Canon of Desolation. " Sometimes theso lateral canons are so crowded that the rock between them stands as a narrow wall, hundreds of feet high, the end toward tho main canon. Some lateral ranons have their own lateral canons a third series cutting the wall into sections, whose towering summits, though large enough to support cathedrals, seem scarcely to fur nish footing for a man. Two thousand feet three thousand feet over head is the summit of the walls, while rocks and crags and peaks rise hicher, aud still higher away back from the river, until they reach an altitude of nearly live thousand feet. These rusty, grey, and dark red sandstones have no beauty of color. A few greenish-grey cedars are seen, lookinff not like pyramids of evergreen spray. Imt like clumps of knotty war-clubs bedecked with spines. Iheso, with a little sage, con stitute all the verdure. We next ran through Coal 'Canon, and passed the mouth of Little White river, then a valley region, passed the mouth of the Han., Rafael, and we ontor Still Water Canon. The river winds through this with a quiet eurrent, as if in no haste to leave this beautiful canon carved out of tho orange 'sandstone. All along its walls domed alcoves and amphi theatres have been cut out of the solid rock; grottoes and caves abound, narrow lateral canons, channels of rivulets, born of a shower and born" again of a shower, are cut as clefts in the rocks, and at every curve on the inner side is a spot of willow-bordered meadow. Then the walk grow higher, .the river THE swifter, and we glide around to the junction of tho Grand and Green. Hero tho walls are nenrly thirteen hundred feet high. Hut away back from the river are lateral canons and canon valleys, the floors of which are at about the same altitude as the immediate walls of the main canon, and the walls of this upper set are hundreds of feet high. Lateral to the second there, is often a third eries, with floors at a greater altitude hau the floors of the second; then tho country back is cut into a labyrinth of canons. The main walls at tho junction are not vertical, but have tho slope of broken rocks tumbled down, while the lateral canons have mostly vertical walls with a sloping talus at the base. We re mained at this point several days and then rowed out into Cataract Canon. Soon we heard the roar of waters, and came upon a succession of rocky rapids and cata racts. Oversoine ofthese we wore compelled to make portages; usually only the cargoes wore carried over the rocks, and tho boats were lot down with lines; but now and thon boats and all had to be carried. When theso rapids and cataracts were unobstructed by rocks,or whore there was any passage, we were ablo to run thena, never finding any fall greater than nineteen feet in this canon. Sometimos the waves below would roll over a boat and till the open part, but they could not sink it, as each one was decked fore and aft, and so hud a water-tight compart ment at each end. Now and then a boat would roll over, but clinging to its sides until they could right it, tho men would swim to the shore, towing it with them. We found much difficulty in the whirlpools below; it was almost impossible to get out of them nt times. They would carry us back under tho fulls; they would dash us against the rocks, or they would send us whirling down the river. For twelve days we toiled through this canon, stopping oucc to mea sure the altitudes of its walls near the highest points, and finding it nearly 'J'OO feet. This was at tho axis of a vast fold in tho strata,and from that point tho upper rocks slowly camo down with a gentle dip to tho southwest until we reached the foot of tho canon, -1 ." miles from its head. A rocky valley canon was found hero on tho left, and the river made a bend around a sharp point on I ho right, which, point v,u set wiiu ten thousand crags' and ragged rocks. We called it Mille-crag Lend, and sweeping around this in a rapid current our boats shot into Narrow Canon, down which we glided at almost railroad speed, the walls rising verti cally from the water thirteen feet high at its head, and coming down, to high-water mark at the foot, seven miles below, where tho Dirty Devil, a river of mud, entered from tho right. - Now we had come again to tho red and orange sandstone, and tho walls were of beautiful bright rock, low at first, but, as wo cut down through the strata, rising higher and higher. Now and then, on this aud that side, the rocks were vortical from tho water's edge: but usually they were cut iuto mounds, and cones, and hills of solid sandstone, rising one above the other as they stretched back in a gentle slope for miles. These mounds havo been out out by tho showers from the bright orange rock, and glitter in resplendent beauty under the mid-dny sun. Hour after hour we gazed entranced on them, as they faded in the perspective and retreated to the rear, i i .ho river was gentle though swift, and we had but to steer our boats, and on we ivent through this land of beauty and glory. On tho 21st of July wo reached the month of the San Juan, at tho foot of Mound Canon, and went into camp for day or two's rest. Then wo started again. Wo had now run once more into the dark red and chocolate-colored sandstones, with slate-colored beds below; theso usually formed vortical walls ocJ"':'on(luy toi'ract-' or broken down, and i'ronTthe C't of these tho orange mounds sloped bu; but variegated by monuments, now vertical, now terrace, worn in steep slopes; others still combining these forms, aud set with towers and pinna cles. These mountains stood alono or in groups, and spread over the landscape as far as tho eyo could reach. Tho little valley of Taria river terminates this c.anon, making it about 100 miles, iong. Wo named it Monument Canon. Here the river Jiad cut through the sandstones and reached the limestones below, tho same geological formation as that of Cataract Canon, and as we advanced the channel was cut into these new strata. We entered between walls low but vertical, that gradually increased in alti tude to the foot, where they were 21MJ0 feet high, terraced and broken into crags above. Half way down the canon we found tho lower I strata appearing as marble; they were white, and grey, and slate-colorod, men pinn auu purple, and brown, and other strata variegated with these colors, until at last we had 400 feet of marble walls, mostly vertical from the water's ednre. These were fretted by the waters, embossed with strange devices, and polished into beauty. Where there were patches of marble floor left bare by low water, basins havo boen carved out by the whirl pools of the flood season, and were filled with pools of clear wnter in beautiful contrast to tho red mud of the river. Cool springs gushed from the rocks, sparkling, foaming cascades plunged into marble fonts, and in contrast to theso, after every shower, cascades of red mud noured over the walls from the red saudstono above, with a fall of hundreds of feot. Wo called this- Marble Canon; it terminated at the mouth of the Little Colorado, and was about :) miles long. Here a short rest, and then we pulled on tho homo stretch not a very short ono either nearly miles by river to the mouth of the Virgin. The lower members of this car boniferous formation are of dark, rust-colored sandstones, sometimes almost black. We soon ran through these, and through Silurian red sandstone, and about fifteen miles below the mouth of tho Little Colorado struck tho granite. From tho mouth of that stream to the mouth of the Virgin, our objective point, the general course of the river is to the west ; but it makes three great curves to the south, and three corresponding :urves to the north. At the extremity of the southern curves the walls are granite at the base, reaching to an altitude of )0 feet. This usually rises from the water in almost vertical cliffs, set above with ragged crags; then a sloping terrace 100 to f00' yards wide; then walls of sandstone and marble tohering 200 or lioo feet tawards tho heavens. In the northern, bends the marble comes down to tho water's edge. In the southern bends the liver runs raging through a narrow gorge filled with rapids and cataracts, often falling at a plunge from ." to 20 feet, the greatest being 22 feet. Over these we usually had to run, as the granite walls rarely gave foothold, though some port ages were made. The roar of a cataract could always bo heard for half a mile or more, so that we never came upon them unapprised of danger.' In the last great bend to the south, we came upon a series of cataracts and rapids crowded together into a distance of three-fourths of a mile; a stream came down through a narrow canon on either side, and above their mouths we . found a foothold to land; so we stopped to examine. On the river there seemed to be great dan ger, and no portage could bg mudo. Coining on in tho morning, tho day was spent in ex ploring and trying to docido some method of getting over tho difficulty. I found that wo could climb to tho summit of the granite 800 feet hif.;h, and, passing along the terrace, could dtscend to a point below; but it would require ten days to get our boats and cargoes over, and we had scant five days' rations. When I returned to camp at night, I an nounced to tho men that we must attempt to run it. After supper ono of tlioni came to me and asked if I was willing that he and two others should leave the river and walk out over the mountains; they thought that they could climb out of tho canon, up the channel of ' tho right hand creek. Of course I objected, but they woro doterminod to go. An hour's talk failed to shake their re solution, so I sat up all night, made observa tions for the latitude and longitude of that point, and then walked up and down a littlo snnd beach until morning. On the morrow they were still in mind to go, and I hastily fitted out the littlo party with guns, ammuni tion, and a small store of rations. In the mean tinio those going down the river were ready to start. Not being ablo to man it, I tied up ono of tho boats and abandoned it. When all was ready we shook hands, and some tears were started, as each party thought the other was going to destruction. "Good bye," and away went our boats over the first cataract, then among tho rocks, and over the second, to tho loft of a huge rock and whirlpool, and over tho third, and shot into an eddy below. Tho boats were half filled with water, but that had happened many times before; we really found it less dangerous than a hundred we had ruu above. The party that was left sat on tho cliffs and watched us over, and wo went into camp and waited two hours, hoping that they would join us with tho boat left tied to tho rocks above; but we never saw them ngnin, and they arc yet unheard from. The names of these men were O. G. I lowland, S. I lowland, aud W. II. Dunn. That afternoon wo passed ono more dangerous rapid, and then hac. fair sailing to the foot, where tho river debouched into Mormon Valley, so named by our party. This ended the 'exploration of the.Graud Canon of the Colorado; its head at the contin ence of the Little Colorado, its fot at the entrance of tho river, to Mormon Valley its length nbout '')X miles, its altitude from 2.V)0 to 1000 feet. A number of clear streams flow in from either side; the largest coming down from the Buckskin Mountains on the north, which we named Right Anglo river. I have mentioned the terraces of tho southern bends: these have been sites of ancient In dian villages, inhabited by a race of diminu tive people now almost extinct. Their littlo clusters of houses found on the south side of the river were M)0 or loot) feet above tho water. They were built of stone laid in mortar, and seem to have had reservoirs of water. Fragments of their pottery are found, scattered about in great profusion, and deeply worn foot-patliB leading from villago to village, or down to tho rivor or up to the summit plain, were frequently seen. On tho northern bend their dwellings were near tho river. Some of these ruins seem to bo cen turies old, and others to have been inhabited by the present generation: tho latter were found near the mouth of tho Littlo Colorado. Other ruins and fragments of pottery were found in the canons above, and away up in the valley of the Uintah. Only a few villages of theso interesting people now remain in tho country to tho southeast. Lelow this canon the river and adjacent country had been explored by Mormon par ties, and here ended the "Great Unknown," no longer thus to be designated. Ono party had crossed through Mormon Valley; another had brought a skiff down the Grand Wash, just below, an(l descended with it to tho mouth of the VirgiU, to C"U'a Landing; and still others havo passed through the country, and I found their reports quite correct, ex cept that they a littlo over-estimated the dis tances. Alternating valleys and canons wero passed till we reached tho mouth of tho Virgin, where wo came upon three white men dragging a seine. They proved to be Mormons, who had been sent on to prepare for a 'large settlement of people which will be sent hero by tho Church to build up another of those wonder ful villages seen only in the "Kingdom." The whole region was one of great scenic beauty and grandeur; the constant change in geo logical structure made a constant change of Scenery. Tho high walls inclosing a tortuous river shut oft' the view before, and, as we ad vanced, it opened out, ever bringing into view some new beauty or glory. The impression of this scenery was the rather accented by a little anxiety, the shadow of a pang of dread ever present to the mind. ' Of mv nartv. I should like to sav that some left mo at the start, cutting the number down to ten, including myself. One left )UG at the mouth of tho Uintah, three left me as men tioned above, and the went through. These were Captain W. 11. Powell, John ('. Sumuer, George Y. Bradley, W.

While a part of tho re mainder of the land Is of little value for agricultural purposes, there Is another part from which a con siderable sum 111 be re ilized. The value cf the Land Crant Is largely enhanced by the extensive coal mines, which are now being worked for tho supply of the stirrounllr.s country, as well as for tho railroad, and by other valuable mineral deposits, especially of copper.
