—— e Y0 SEMITE. The [Stage Route from San Francisco. Some Monntain Fastnessos of Pios turesque Amerion Rarely Visited. Correspondence of the St. Louis Republican. Yo Semite Vauuey, Cal,, Sept, 28, — Leaving San Franciscoand its many attractions at 3 o'clock p. m. by one of the large ferrics that connect at Oak land with the Oakland train, we are soon seated in the earand rapidly passing through the rich and fertile Sacremento valley, our objective point being the great Yo Semite valley, A Stockton our party rests for the night. The party consists of four males—the uninitiated would think we were friends of many years’ standing, while in real- ity “‘we met by chance, the usual way. To the professional traveller | these friendships are as convenient as | the loose stitching of the sewing ma- | chine that rips so casily is to the fash- | ionable young lady of the present day, | enabling her to make her dresses over at will. Although fivm friends for tho time being, no useless tears are shed reappears a8 o glistening, silvery thread. Almost overy minute thos remarkablo changes appear. We arc rapidly descendivg: to our right are nothing but frightful precipices What if a wheel of the should break’ Visions of those shirts appear before our cyes LANDED, At lnat the valley is reached and a pleasant ride of three or four miles fands us at the hotel tired, dusty. woary bodily, from the hard trip, but cager to seo more. Night comes on quickly, and at an early hour the narrow val ley is enveloped in the dark shadowsof (he towering mountains. We have letters of introduction to Mr. Hutch- ings, the commissioner of tho valley, who receives us kindly and gives us much valuable information, The en- tire length of the valley is eight or ten miles. Its width from one-halfto one and one-half miles.. The mountaing extend in seemingl; wch side of the ength, gradually cle The great peenhiarity is their abrup! 8t loy, its cntire g up cach end, f the mountaing The valley itself is four thousand feet above the level of the sca while the mountains ar additional three to five thousand feet. Even on top of these mountains the weather is warm cnough at present to at the parting, a parlting in most cases forever. In the morning an y | start is made for Milton, vhirty miles | distant, at which point the staging | commences. A erack of the whip and | away we fly over the few miles of | ins and are soon in the foothills of | Novadas. The iches, at first, soon deercase i numbers, while trees androcksincrease proportionately. At noon we dine at COPTEROIOLIS, The mines of copper at this place were supposed to be inoxhaustivle. But, alas! The name is all that remains to indicate the former presence of eop- per. The mills still stand, but de- serted—abandoned. The pretty chureh, so inviting without, is o h low mockery within. Stores and resi- dences are alike deserted. Many hizh hopes have baen erushed here, where the bitter cup of disap- pointment has been evidently full to overflowing. After aking a hasty lunch, a special coach is made up for the Yo Semite visitors and the stage branches off from the main road into the mountain road that leads to the valley. Chinese Camp, Big Garotte, and one or two other places that ap pear as rough to the eye as the names sound to the earare passed, when sud- denly we see before us a perfect little paradise. Itis “GooDWIN'S,” A place celebrated for the varicty and quality of its fruit. Here we sce on one ranch the finest peaches, wrapes, figs, plums and apples grown i the state, One of the curiosities is the largest hie tree in Californ: There are also several trees with ripe oranges arge size but they do not bear plentitully enough to it-pny to cultivate tnem, At “‘F v halt 18 made for the might. Next day we take an early breakfast and make early start to accomplish the last fifty miles over the roughest country we have yet met. Houses ave scarcer; few people are met with, We are in the midst of wild mountain scenery, A hlack bear, startled at the approach of the stage, is seen making his way into the forests at an casy trot. To- day one fact strikes us; the great feel- ing manifested everywhere for our president. Here, where pcople are dopendent on us for the news of the day, we arc everywhere greeted with the question, How is the president? Away in these mountain recesses the same great interest is taken in his re- covery as in the great cities. We pass along some frightful precipices and climb steep hills, making frequent changes of horses, 8o that we reachi the top of onc of the hills overlooking the valley an hour before sunset. I o country is feartully rough and broken. Asign”is posted near the road; it reads: “Hight miles to Pioncer laundry. How would “you feel to . break your neck and have a dirty shirton?” We involuntaily shudder —at the thought of our shirts, for the roads are dusty. A turn 1s made and the valley suddenly opens below us, THE VALLEY. Ob,; how grand! How Dheautiful! This then is the great Yo Semite val- ley. There is not the feeling akin to disappointment 8o often felt i sceing celebrated objects when one has hac his expectations raised to the highest, but on the contrary you become en- thusiastic --almost excited. Incom- parable, indescribable is the view we now have. We descend at break- neck speed a distance of 3,000 feot down the sidesof the mountain, The valley is not hidden from view for one moment. Oune glance reveals every mountain on either side. No matter how much more we may see, nothmg is grander thanthese first impressions. To the left is El Capitaine, the mon- ster rock of the valley. Think of it! a solid, single rock more than 3,000 feet high and nearly a mile wide—as wide at the top as at the bottom —the walls perpendicular, or at least so near to it that the several hundred feet (a distance of nearly one block) which the top of the mountain ex- tends beyond the base are scarcely perceptible to the naked eye, One eye ranges across the valley and the nearest object is THE BRIDAL VEIL FALL, How fortunate to enter the valley at this time. We see a silvery stream six hundred feet in length descending over the square top of a mountain;the cntire stream is now gently swaycd from side to side by the wind. A portion of the stream next forms into spray, in which are reflected all the colors of the rainbow. Isn't it beau- tiful? **Just wait a minute,” says the driver. Now the wind forms the en- tire Jower portion of the falls into a spray and gradually wafts it to one side, carrying with it the stream. The coloring is extremely beautiful. Now the spray is lifted upwards; it hides s streamn from sight; the wind has dispense with heavy clothing, The number ot visitors thisscason has been about two thousand, Total number since the discovery of the valley than fifty thousand Less than one hundred St. Louisans have visited the valley up to the present time, Por- haps those who have not done so need not care, for they do not know what they have missed. TAKING VIEWS, o088 Early in the morning our guide ap- pears with his mustangs to up to the top of one of the mountains, Pike, (so called, though that is nc name) our guide, ne of the oldes mountaineers on this coast. He can answer any question without turning a hair. Ttis anaccomplishment in a guide never to say “I don't know,” Pike ecomes from Missouri, though not from Pike county. All Missourians are knownamonyg the guides as coming from Pike. No doubt some one of our eminent citizens formerly from Pike was out here and made it appear ‘that Pike county was a higger thing than Missouri. Our first visit is to THE VERNAL AND NEVADA FALLS, On strik the mountain trail the scenery at onev: beeomes most pictur esque. Time and again we turn sharp curves, thereby changing a cowse that sccmed to lead directly over abrupt precipices down, down, thous- ands of feet. At Vernal falls we rest for a couple of hours, At the foot of the falls 18 “Snow’s,” where we take lunch. Mrs. Snow, the hostess, a sharp visaged Yankee lady, nearly six feet high, having a good natured hus band a foot shorter, relates to you, as she has done to each one of the thous- ands of visitors who have preceeded you, that at Snow’s there are always televen teet of Snow. She had rather miss & meal than miss the op- portunity of getting off this pun, An hour is next spent at the fout of the falls. The waters, after dashing down a distance of 400 feet, strike a mass of broken rocks, and are lashed into whitest foam. Here is such majesty as cannot be pictured words; it must be seen. The guide shows us a narrow footpath, down which we go while he brings the horses to a meeting place arranged with him. By walking we reach a place which seems to be theend of the valley. We have walked down so far that it seems we ought almost to bein the valley. The Vernal falls are seen at a great height to the rear. Sud- denly we find ourselves on a_large flat rock several hundred feet wide. The view to the front is entirvely shut off by a natural solid railing of rvock in front, Peering over the same we sec the valle all its beauty below us. Mirror ypears like a duck pond, while the beautiful Merced 1 twisting and winding its w the valley for many miles, rather re- sembles 8o many yards of silvery rib- bon. Fifty fect to the right of where we are standing the Merced plus off the vock on which weare standing, a distance of six hundred feet It then gradually descends into the val- ley forming Mirror lake, a sheet of water so tranquil and clear that plhoto- graphs taken of the mountain reficcted in the water and the mountains them- selyes above the water appear like a single mountain suspended in the having the same forma- tion above and below, and the sky surrounding it entirely. The descont by means of ladders along side of Nevada falls is a thrilling un- dertaking. At one point the trail gives out ontircly and a single log resting against the bare side of the mountain aflords the only means of continuing the journey. Will you cross or will you return and stand the good-natured jeers of the bravest of the party who has already crossed? The latter requires the greatest cour- age, 5o the crossing is at empted. leaning against the w straight ahead you cross in safet ling that it you ever ain the longest road will be the best in the end. We eet the guide and horses at the toll-house, pay one dollar toll for use of the trail and in another hour I the hotel in time for a hearty supper which is pur taken ot with such relish as only the hardships of the ride and the knowl- edye of having spent the most inter- esting day of our lives can impart. Next day the objective point is GLACIER ROCKS, which from the hotel seems to be the highest pointin the valley. On the way a large clearing or path ap- pears, a half mile in length and twen- ty feet wide, caused by an immense boulder weighing fifty tons rolling down the mountain side early last spring. All the trees for the entire distance were levelled o the ground while rocks twenty feet square were crushed almost to” pebbles, A large tree about five feet in diameter re ceived the force of the descending stone in such a wanner asto cut ed the mastery over the stream and as fast as the “water flows it is | formed into one mass of spray, which now floats to the left, then strives downward, as if essaying to assert it self asa stream again; next floating high in the air again, the formation | and coloring changing every moment, | More beautiful dissolving views have never been scen by the eyc of man.

A white spot on the side of the wountain, secmngly two or three teet square, shows where the immense muss started from. We reach Union point, which from the valley scemed to be only a very short distance below a straight line on rating it fearfully, | Gla On looking down the perpendicn distanco t, we have one of the g views to be had in the val ilacier rocks are still a thous set above ns, this showing how little one can comprehend the im mensity ot the heights of these solid [ rocks, since in the valley the two| pomts ehowed very little difference. | The top of _this mountain is finally | roached. The top itself conmists of & dome-ghaped mass of white rocks so slippery that no trail exists on them, and man and_horse clamber as best they can. While it is safer to remain on the horse, it feels safest to be off | at this point. To have the horse slip while on these slippery rocks ata dis- tance of 4,309 feet above the valle suggests such a horrid descent that nine out of ten visitors prefer to clamber on the rocks themselves. An examination of the pulses ot the par- | ty of four at this point showed re spectively 106, 112 and 120 pulsations | to the minute, while one was simply fluttering.

The | writer's mustang had the tantalizin habit of stopping at many of the turns in the trail. This would bring his head and shouldeas away over the precipice. He seem@f to enjoy the view of the valley below a great deal | more than the rider. The view from Sentinel dome is one never to be for gotten. 1f a person were a milo high | up in a balloon with the most inter esting and beantiful spot in the Sierra Nevada moumtains immediately below him, the effect wonld not be more startling. A deer, started at our ap- proach, and a rattlesnake further on, gave proof that civilization has not yet robbed the neighborhood of the charms 1 which nature rthed it. Among St. Louis visitors at this wonderful place this year were Mr. Bailay, the veal estate man, and lady, Chas. Rebstock, J. W. Donaldson and lady, and T. G. Greer. Within afew years the railroads will pass within fiftcen miles of the valley, when it is to e hoped that a greater number of St. Louisans will be able to enjoy the rich treat in store for all who visit the valley.

To muke timber plentiful and to render our climate more genial we must reclothe all rugged’ broken land and rocky —in fact, every that is not cultivated or is cultivated ata loss —with valnable fore:t trees. First—All ravines and steep hill sides, all land too rocky to be thoronghly cleared of stone and plow- ed, should be devoted to trees. Sccond- - Protecting belts of timber should be planted wherever buildimgs, orchards, gardens, ete., are exposed to cold, sweeping winds. =#=The, banks of streams, ponds,} open ditches, ete., should be planted with trecs that they will ve protected from abrasion by floods and rapid currents. Fourth---All public roads should be belted by graceful stately trees. We should preserve, improve and extend our existing forest by keeping upa constant succession of young growing trecs of the best varieties. To this it is necessary: First ~To allow nostock to run in wood-lots for the purpose of forage. This should be a rule inflexible and relentless. Second —Young growth in fovests “[should be “thinmed moderately and judiciously. Worthless varicti should be cut out, and the valu sorts trimmed up so that they will grow fall, forming trunk rather than brandhes Third intellizent. refere Valuable trees th pagate should be cut in Timber should be eat with to future growth, t you wish to the spring. e that you wish to exterminate should be cut in Aungust.
