Immediately after the earthquakes of last fall in Cali- fornia, different people, some miners and farmers who live in the vicinity of this particular butte, for which thero seems to be no ‘name, observed smoke arising from its summit. A party of boys out hunting reported hearing strangoe noises emitted from the same butte and they were afraid to go near it. A majority of the residents in_ the viein- ity generally discredited these stato- ments. Still no one felt possessed of enough curiosity to satisfy himself. Last Thursday a prospector said that when coming from the Omaga copper camp he cortainly saw smoke arising from the top of this butte. Two gontle- men who went out hunting to Arivaca, some three weeks ago, wandered off from their road, and one night camped at the base of this volcanic butte. They heard strange, rumbling sounds in the night, as if water was boiling, or some hard blasting was being done far beneath the earth’s surface. They did not explore the hill, not knowing of the existence of any crater there. These different rumors determined the Citizen reporter #to ex- amine the butte personally for himself, and see if thero was a crater, and if there was anything extraordinary about it. Accordingly last Sunday, in com- panywith 8. G. Overshiner, editor of The Calico Print and C. H. Tully, a small pocty left Tuscon to investigate the al- eged volcano. The drive from Tucson up the Hanta Cruz valley through large groves of ‘tiss: quite and black willow, and fields of hay, presented 03 fresh and 'as rural aspects as ono could see in'any agrienltn. ral country. No particular road was fol- lowed. At last the voleanic butte hove in sight, and after a refreshing lunch at its base, and the investigation of some ruins near by, the ascent of the butte was begun on its wostern side, which appear- ed to be the the easicst of access. Anold Indian trail led up over several well de- fined ledges, till the summit was reached. Here the character of the rock changed to a pumice stone or lava, a varioty that is always found where voleanic action has occurred. The hill rises about three hundred feet above the plain, and is all alone. Descending on the eastern slope & couplo of rods to the northeast there were found two craters. The first one reached is the smaller of the two. Itsdepth is some ten feet by about twenty in diameter. The rocks around the rim contained some warmpth. When the thermometer was applied to them the mercury measured 128" Fahrenheit. On the opposite sido slight issuo of steam could bo detectdl. “A few palo verde trees and some grease wood bushes adorn the butte, but otherwise itis barren,$ Around the hill on all sides there were 1o other indications of voleanic action, After witching the great living curiosty of the Santa Cruz valloy for an hour the party returned to Tucson, | — He Met His Match, Philadelphia Call . ““Yes, sir,” said the weatern man, loy- ingly caressing his long hair and foeling of his hip-pocket to see if his handker. chief was still there, ““I have had some pretty lively times; have beon a prospec- tor, miner, government scout, cowboy, stage-driver, and trapper, and between times amused mysclf gunning for Indians and greasors on my own account, “Been handled pretty rough times!"” ventured a pale-faded man on crutches and sling, *Rough!” some- \ castern with one arm in a replied the westerner, scorn- fully. ““That depends on what you call rough. 1 have heen chawed by grizzlies, scalped by Indians, nearly burned at the stake, shot and knifed dozens of times, blown ap once or twice, and on one occa sion fell into a quartz-mill and was run clean through before it could be stopped.
