Our parcy was joimed by Don Jose Barrera, Alcalde in Ciudad Guzinan, and Padre Pugaro, We had four ozo, each having the care of an extra mule joaded with provisions. Pour leagues soutl- west of Cindad Guzman we reaped the celobrated Pedral Colorado section of country, which is the most diienlt of passage of auy level road in all Mexico, For alx leagues of our route we had to walk our horses carefully over the Pedral, and thea, when crossed, ali of them liad evidences of the passage Ip sundry cuts and bruises made by the rougu, jagged stones which make tie Pedral. ‘Tiese stones, as we found, extended to a depth of 160 Teet, and are the same m chemical com- position as those which form the slopes of Mount Colima—puldice-like, aud yet Aimost as resisting to a blow as iron ove, Upon this Pedral feild are smooth spots mdicating deposits of java which bad flowed there wile in & molten state, Nor upon te whole l’edral, some wx leagues in lengin by three leagues in width, is there any sign of vezeiation; and yet, between Mount Colima and the Pedral, m- Uervenes a tract of fertile country, with quite a depth of ciay aud sandy soil, extremely produciive. Nor beside Mount Colima is there any evidence of the existence of volcanic action in this region, which leads us to beheve that at some date of time Mount Colima in one termbie couvuision has sent the material which composes the Pedral field from its vast crater, which, accompanied by & great convu'sion oF oscillation of the Contineni, has caused this strange phenomenon of deposits. If not from tie depths of Mount Colima, whence comes this tield of volcanic deposits? ’ Across the Pedral, and we camped the night of the 26th at the Barranca Zital, the frst of seven wich intervene between Cludad Guzman anil Colima, aad which 18 in the State of Colima and at the very edge of the slope of Mount Colima, yet distant at least forty iuues from the peak or crater of the mountain, From Barranca Zital we had a fair view of turee craters—the original—and ten of those which opened suddenly on the night of the 25th of June. ‘Tuese smaller ones are avuut 2,000 feet from the summit of the mountam, and though apparently one-fifth the extent of the crater at the summit, seem to our vision to throw a flame much higher. The smail crater, the one nearer us, exhibited a sight at nighttime which defies the de- scription Of any pen. From three sides it poured forth one moiten, lurid, crimson streain of hissing Java which flowed downwards In three different streams, while upwards, till vision tired in watch- ing, a Name as steady as shone the stars grew paler and mere pale, wile throughout its upward course huge stones or cinders were Sung from oul the giar- lug current, Our view of the crater on the Zapotian side was somewhat dinmed by the smoxe or steam, or both, which, cooling as sent forth from we oid Chee aud smaller one near us, formed quiie dense clouds, ‘The following morning we started for Colima and mage the ascent and descent of the six other bar- ratcas, each succeeding One greater, wider and deeper than the preceding one. The jast barranca on the Colima side 1s one of the great wonderments oi the republic of Mexico, and uniess it becomes filled by the current of-lava now flowing from the volcano of Coilma must become one of the prumiaent won- ders of our Contivent with the opening up of Mex- ico to travel.

Its sides are nearly perpendicular, and tt iioasures from edge to edge 16,090 feet, or three miles, Its begtuning 18 at the Immediate vase of Mount Colima, and it 18 thirteen miles ia length. What wiil excite the study of the geologist most is the evidences on all sides that this fearful gorge at the base of this gigantic mountain bears ali ihe evi- deuces of having ocen washed out by @ curvent of lava from the mountain at whose feet it commences. But more of the barranca at another date, MOUNT COLLMA, After crossing the last named barranca (Beltran) we hastened forward into Colma. We found that a number of Mexican scientitic genvemen were w- ready there. Some nad come froin the city of Mex- 1co; others from Morelia and Zainora. It was pro- posed that we should ail join tn an investigation and endeavor to obtain more particular facts concerning the recent eruption of the voicano and the wouder- {ul phenomenen of the opentng oi four craters in the sides of the mountain, from Which angry and terri- bie currents of volcanic mutter had dowed con- scantly since the 25th of June. ihe iwountatn is 12,034 feet above sea level, ac- cording to Humboldt’s measurement, Ht is insulateu in this plain beariug the same name, and is on the westeru deciivity of au extended plateau, which from ie volcano’s base slopes gradually to the Pa- cic ocean, Walch 18 eigity miles distant. ‘he vol- cano is seventy miles from Jorwilo, Which rose sud- deniy irom tue plain on the night of September 29, 1/59.

Should Mount Colma keep up tue present expul- sion of internal matter for many montis it is feared that this wealthy city wiil become buried beneath 11s outpourings. I said that Colima was twenty leagues from the volcano, which means from the original crater, not from the mountain itself, for in reality the city ts bull’ upon the lower edge of the extended siope of the mountain, The the required by the tourists who have made the journey to we crater during the last ity years has been three days, One day’s journey on horseback brought them to the verge of red puinice stone, from wiete they had to proceed siowly and cautiously on foot, Unlike the road up Popocatepet! and Orizava there ts uot @ tree or shrob tw make the way cheerful, only rugged voleante rocks all the way. Birds and wild turkeys, which ure to be iound on all the other peaks of the Cordilleras, make no homes upon the seared slopes of Mount Couma. Bearing m mind that volcanic matter composing the Pedral has been thrown fifwen leagues from the great crater of Colima at some dute in ages past, it cannot be denied that there 13 just appreheusion entertained by the people of this Iruitiul palin tree valley that they will some day see all engulfed by @ storm of internal up- heavings, and perhaps thousands of the inhabitants find the doom of Herculaneum, Now there are five vents, eimitting vast volumes of material, which grows hourly into vaster proporttous. The smaller craters, being lower on the mountain, show more Bialy the vastness of the volcanic bodies thrown out, From the neighborhood of Jorullo we have the in- formation that strauge rambling sounds are heard, and that both steam aud smoke are being emitted from 1s crater. It has been long acknowledged as a scienufic fact that nature has established a chain of volcanoes (earth vents) acroas the Conument at this narrowed point, and ubere is every reason to believe that this series or line of volcanoes, which cut the Cordilieras in two places, reaches down deep be- neath and uuder tae entire ranges of mountains and are closely connected py # chain of volcanic elements which cause, at one vent or another, @ constant activity, Facts establish this theory, for when Jorullo rose from a ievel plain and opened its crater Colima ceased to be active.

Asxiteulturn! Resources of Nebraska—Extent and Physical Conformation of the State—Al- Juvial Soil and Sulubrioes Climate. Omana, Sept, 18, 1469. Nebraska is but an infant State, Yet there is pro- bably no other in the Union in which higher hopes of futare prosperity and greatness are entertained, You will meet with some exuberant and boastiul speculators in landy and lots, and will bear some ex- travagant opinions; but these are natural and can easily be pardoned ina State so young. But even if all the dreams of the most sanguine citizens shall not be realized there ia in truth aglorious future for Nebraska. No more prolific soll for the production of the staple article of human food than exists within its limits has yet been found in the whole of North America, ‘The total area of Nebraska, stated in round num- bers, embraces some 76,000 equare miles, or about 49,000,000 acres. Of these It may be said that 16,000,000 acres are susceptible of the highest and most pro- Guctive cultivation; 10,000,000 acres are less produc. Uys, Dut sull cultivable land; 16,000,000 acres form & magnificent grazing ground, of which it is belleved 10,000,009 acres may hereafter be mado avallabie for general agricuiture; and last, 7,000,009 acres are a great sandy desert waste. Each of these divisions ts situate 10 aseparate belt, well defined, across the State, and Hes in the order named as you journey west. ‘The broad, swift, shallow current of tne Platte Proper, as distingaished frem its forks, lows down through the better portion of the State, curving something in the shape of an elongated tetter S, ag itruns from west to east, It is along the valley of this river on its northern bank that the Unton Pacific Ratiroad track 13 lata. North of the river Platte the Loup Fork, with its sproading branches and humerous tributary streams, courses down, partly somewhat parallel with the Platte, into which it eventually flows, Stull further to the north and east the long and lovely Elkhorn winas its way in a southeasterly direction, until its waters also mingle with the waters of the Platte, Southward the Little and the Big Blue, the Littie and ihe Big Sandy, the Littie and the Great Nemala, together with the forks and part of the main tide of the Ke- publican course through the southern section of the State, the Littie and the Great Nemaha Cae With the Missouri at separate points and the others crossing over the Kansas border, whence they flow on to their contluence with other streains, Whose accumulated waters finally dnd their way down the Mississipp! into the Gulf of Mexico. Besides these more important rivers there are hundreds of tributary water courses in the different sections of the State. All the streams are deep and narrow tn comparison with the Piatte. The surface of the country 1s naturally divided into bottom lands, table Jands and desert, The bottom lands, extending from the banks of all the cousiderable streams, range from a mile to @ dozen miles in width, At in- tervals along the Missouri, the Hig Blue, the Great Nemaha, the Piaite, the Loup Fork, the Eikhorn and 8 few other sireains there Is a heavy growth of timber. Atsome points this forest growth covers the bottom lands where they are narrow, and even extends over the biufts vw the tabie lands. ‘tus, however, is exceptional; for, generally apeating: wood everywhiere in Nebraska is very scarce, and iv chiefly limitea to the thin tines of trees aiong the margins of the sinaller streams and to tie wuicker growth that darkens all the larger river banks. Among the native trees are cottonwood, wiich stows in most abundance; black jack and black walnut, red and white oak and eim, hickory, lack- berry, an indigenous, half-hard wood, familar only inthe West; willow, and, along the clear water Courses, cedar. The soil of the arable portion of Nebraska ig a rich black vegetable loam, slightly impregnated with lime. It ranges from two to ten feet in depth, It is deepest on the bottom lands, which receive all the washings from the bluff. It is, save im some uneven sections, free from stones and gravel; 18 par- ticularly pliabie, bemg easily ploughed as decp as nay be required; resists alike unusual wet and drougat; and, while perfecily available for ali general agricul- tural purposes, it 1s peculiarly adapted to the growth of corn and wheat. ‘Ihe wheat grown in Nebraska is of superior quality, and commands the highest prices, All the garden vegetavles grow large and Plentiful; wild plums, grapes, chersies and hops ave Jound in prodigal abundance, and in many piaces, but in {emaller quautities, several varioties of ber- ries, Cultivated crops shat usually mature before the 1st of August are raised with uniform success, Apples, pears and peaches ripen in some lovaitics, especially in the southeastern section of the State, where they have a more genial atmosphere aud are sheltered from tue winds by groves of native or cuiti- vated timber. But Nebraska tg essenitally an agri cultural aud grazing State. While many miliions of acres of the richer lauds are available for food forman the native grasses on millions more afford natritious pasturage tor cattle, Great herds of tiese are being duty driven over here from Kansas to fatten on those grasses. Some of the eastern and especially the southeast- ern counties contain useful minerals. Tuey are not found, however, In either great vameties or quanti- ties.

But by means pf the Pacitlc Railroad all the coal Nebraska needs for ordinary purposes can be sup- plied from the inexhaustible resources of Wyoming, whence it is now being furnmsied.
