FR8M IARTLETT
TO COLORADO.
(By T. P. ROBINSON)
(Continued from laat week)
. mma here curve somewhat u
left yet with a general lead to
The road here curved somewhat to
the northwest nnd directed us by
Gienville Staunton and' Grande all
of which wcro situated in a semi
-'plain or more practically sneaking
very large valllcs. To our right and
to u' cft "Janv "0""!a'n caks wcr?
visible while the further we went
tho larger they were. Among the
prominent peaks to our left were
Tripod peak wo wcro passing while
far in tho distance Bald Blanco Antl-
lopo and Laughtins peaks stood out
against thp western sky. On our
right) Dcvoy's Peak Emery's Peak
and Mount Copulin stood out in bold
relief all of which were of moderate
statue save tho latter that to us tow-
ered skyward in the distance yet
was tho peak we had been travelling
towrds and observing for miles. On
wo travelled with restful and vary-
ing scenery over roads that alter-
nated between plains faint and prom-
inent lava beds and rolling hills.
Reaching Dcs Moines we replenished
our larder gasollno and oil supplies
nnd left in a westward direction for
Headman fourteen miles distant
The semi-rocky country here soon
cave way to a atonoless declining
plain thnt ended in a valley that
pointed to the southwest. Presently
to our right a ledge of very dark
trrevish rock appeared more rescmb
liner rustv iron in color thnt stretch
ed far to ttho nortnenst and south-
west nnd appeared perfectly defined
about six feet high yet in reality was
in places seventy feet high. Three
mllea back of this ledge of luva Mt.
Copulin lifted his head to an alti-
tude of thirteen hundred feet above
the plnin on which it stood. Thickly
scattered over this grassy plain large
and hlch boulders of lava were scat
tered for miles nround but dwarfed
into insignifiennce by the mas' ivc
mountnln mountain. Mount Copulin
is the mountnln wo have- boon travel-
ling towards for fifty miles and con-
forms In outline to any person's im-
agination of a mountain who has nev-
er seen one for this mountain rises
by :asy angles from all side to its
apex directly from tho plain nnd
stands nloft wiles from any other
mountain. It has a flat top possibly
a quarter of a milen cross with a
enter six hundred feet deep in its
center which gives postlve evidence
of a volcano
of having been a volcano thnt scatter-
ed lava over tho country for ten mll-s
around. Visitors who have visited ex-
tinct volcano districts in the United
Stntcs say that Mount Copulin is the
mC3t beautiful extinct volcano they
havo seen. Tho Scant dry grass the
very few farms with drouth-stricken
sun-scorched crops gnve evidence of
scarcity of forage and food. The.
g.'nss however was evidently good
for the oattlc were fat and happy.
Tho country nil through Now Mexico
was n ninety per cent stock country
Tho few farms that wo parsed were
growing Knfllr corn Milo Maize and
pinto beans or rather attempted to
for the drouth was so severe that the
crop3 were ruined beforo fruiting.
Dcadmnn a town of less than two
dozen houses nil told sat majestically
likft a lost child in a valley six miles
southwest of Mount Copulin tho
tnlct volcano and was famous for Its
many doby buildings. Doby buildings
nro made of mud brick. The brick
are in ado of a certain kind of soil
that is of a very clammy or riticky
nature andl is not given to being eas-
ily washed away with rain. Into this
soil or mud is worked a good portion
of wheat or straw and brick are con-
structed therefrom something like six
by eight by twelve inches which nro
finally fashioned into the walls of all
horts of houses for the nbodc of stock
and man the walls of which are al-
ways low. Wc were told that these
dwellings would cost something like
six hundred dollars for a six-room
house were dry warm comfortable
and ninny of them were beautiful
within nnd that they would last for
bbcs some jbeing forty years old and
snowed no sign of deterioration.
This class of buildings wero very
common through this country and
southern Colorado.
Wc left Dcadmnn to the west fol-
lowine well eroded smooth roads in
broad Innes thnt turned nt right an-
irels to the south nnd west. A great
storm secmicu to be forming in tno
v.-est. Great thunder clouds with
flowery crests were spitting forked
toncues of sparkling lightning and
sending down shafts of dark and
blinding rain nnd tho thunc':r peals
could be distinctly heard. In addi-
tion to the nervous strain caused by
tho Catherine storm tho ignition sy-
tern of uor car gave way reducing
our spticd to fiftcn or less miles pci

moderate mountain in hclghth but
many times larger appeared to our

ley like country nnd finaly for miles
at tho very bnso of tho mountain on

base we were travelling should haw
