ing that when theyai-pcmbleiri Red Cloud

wishes of their cont-tttucntd to tho letter,
and place in nomination men whom tin
wholo people of tha county can conscien
tiously support at the polls noxt Novem
ber. We believe '.he delegate fully real
ize, the duty they owe to themselves and
to the county; and will act in such a man
ner that, when they have finished their
work the people of the county will nay,
"well done thou good and faithful ser
vants. "

hillside and ravines as to lead to the mi
pre.mion that heie is a huge granite
quarry.
Southwest of Republican City fourteen
miles,
OX PltAiniE POO CItEEK,
is found the largest of thcc singular de
posits They are naturally called ''Gran
ite bluffs" from their cloe resemblance
to the lighter varieties of gray granite,
and it is not easy to change tha popular
verdict that this is a veritable granite
formation. It is a bold bluif of solid rock
rising almost abruptly tn a height of
eighty feet on the eat, with less precipi
tation use toward the north, on which
side it is exposed in i circle norly a mile
aud a half in extent. Fragmeut-i, large
aud small, are distributed around the
base, mi inly due the hreaktnc and cruh
ing power of tho glacial agency. The
creek makes
A CIRCUIT OK SEVKN MILES,
and renders the rocky area almost an is
land, showing that it existed as an isolat
ed mountain of rock before tho valley of
the creek was established; nnd when this
water course of the glacial area ws estab
lished the dome of "granite," as it is
called, compelled the stream aud valley
to make here a grand detour.
The rock contains silica soda, potassa
and irou, with but very liraoor ut-ignesia
It it very hard and brittle, easily breaking
into straight lines of aoy required size.
It is good for almost any cae that may be
required of it none of thedisjut grating
forces having scarcely any effect upon it.
It will serve for foundations of all t-truct
tires, or super structures for the railway,
the citv, or the common house. The farm
ers of Knnsas and Arkansas haul the Ioomj
fragments many miles, indicating the
uses as anuve described The material is
homogeneous throughout, leading to the
theory that it is the result of one, instead
of a series of hot spring", who.-e periodic
overflow ha, during long ages, deposited
these alkali rocks.
The central chimney or tube through
which the water once holding these rocks
in solution wero conveyed will probably
be fouud from one to seven miles south
of the northern curvatiou of the bluff
To many of my readers this will appear
as an asxumptinn or "begging the ques
tion " that this or the foregoing instance.-
are the result of geyets or hot springs.
But wo cau examine one ot these springs
in actual operation near Cawkcr City, in
Mitchell count, Kansas, thirty miles
south of the Nebraska line, This noted
spring is called
MANITOU, OR GREAT SPIRIT SPRINGS,
so namedby the Indiaus, who from time
immemorial have here held their meet
ings with song and such ether incantations
as i elate to their "big medicine" business.
It is a huge stone basin near five hundred
feet across the top. In the centre is a
ircular pond of warm water, which pours
over the rim of the-basin and escapes to
the Solomon river near by. The water is
alkaline, salt being predominant. At
tempts to find the depth of this boiling
sprinz have not been successful. It prob
ablv extends downward several thousand
feet, and communicates by cleft or fissure
with the thermal waters, warmed by the
interior heat of the earth.
The great mass of rock enclosing these
briny waters is about seventy feet ib.ive
the Solomon river. 1: appears to bo the
summit of a chimney built up from un
known depths by depoi s from the over
flow of this alkaline spring. The roe is
a concrete of lime, magnesia, silica and
potassa, which are all soluble in hot water,
and which will precipitate on cooling
Fit ages these waters baturated with the
above utatertals, have risen by subterra
nean force, and deposited layer after later
of this composite rock, thus silently build
ing thee huge walls to their present
height, when the lorce gradually ceased,
and the work is now nearly stopped.
