liuvu for yours, ut Irregular intcrvnls,
tllscotir.'it'd ut Mitno lunfrtli upon tho
wondurn of tho Ulo San .Itian, tun! In
tho category f tho tnarvoloiia this
mountain tributary of tho fjreat 'CoU
orado has talcuti Its placo by tho Mdo
of the far-famud and iiiyhtt-rlous Gila.
Tho cllll ruins of tho San Juan valley
havo been tho center of attraction,
havo been viewed from all sides, and
their wonders havo been told nnd retold
to tho world, time and time again.
.Scientific men havo visited this region,
havo penetrated southeastern Utah,
and havo considered thlsvnlley a placo
of especial interest, becauso theso
cliffs and cave dwellings nro probably
the oldest in this strnngo country, be
ing tho llrst built is that mysterious
journey southward of a great and un
known people.
l'or twenty years the prospector hai
followed this bold llttlo river and
gazed with careless unconcern on tho
rough and broken walls, so full of in
terest to the nrchtcologlstj but tho
mind of tho prospector has no room
for curios, nnd ho has no time for
archteologleal Investigation, says a
Pluonlx correspondent of tho Cincin
nati Tribune, lie seesonly tho glitter
of tho gold in the sand, and thinks
only of tho time when ho shall havo
made his "stake." In November of
18SJ hundreds of gold hunters rushed
madly Into tho canyon north of tho Nav
ajo mountain, traveled three hundred
mllesovcr bleak, desert tablelands, suf
fered terribly from cold, hunger, and
the long, wearisome journey; in a
few days staked off all tho available
land for fifty miles up and down tho
river, and then returned homo without
having obtained so much as color of
gold, and to-day have nothing to bhoiv
for it but the stakes.
Whether this is a region that will
ever show rich pay dirt tho writer
knows not, but ho can bay, without
houltatlon, that It is ono of tho most
wildly picturesque and beautiful re
gions in tho world. Tho bleak old
Navajo mountain rises abruptly and
towers like a grim sentinel over tho
surrounding mesa, while In a canyon
gorge, more than n,000 feet below its
base, tho llio Sail Juan appears like a
slher thread. Tho canyon is several
miles wide, nnd a descent can be mado
to tho river by a precipitous trail, but
as the river approaches the great Col
orado tho canyon becomes more nar
row nnd the walls more perpendicular,
and when it merges into tho grand
canyon it is scarcely more than a deep,
dark channel.
Tho Navajo mountain, tho jutting
buttesthat lino tho ennyon's verge, tho
huge bowlders that nro lodged on tho
canyon's side, nnd the straight walls of
tho canyon proper are all points of
wonderful Interest, for they arc tho
canvas upon which are depicted somo
of tho most strange and beuutlful pic
tograplm that havo ever been discov
ered in this country. Nearly every
bowlder is a picture gallery, nnd near
ly every smooth surfaco is covered
with weird and fantastic figures.
On the mountain theso contlnuo to
tho very summit, and, as tho crowning
piece, a lingo block of sandstone stands
on tho top, the four sides presenting
smooth surfaces. These faces aro more
than ono hundred feet square, and on
each face is n picture of tho sun, with
the figures of suven warriors bowed, as
to the earth, in prayer. Henenth tho
warriors tiro many hieroglyphic charac
ters, probably a prayer to tho sun god.
On a bowlder, by the verge of the can
yon, is the picture of a woman kuocl
lug in prayer to the sun.
On one of tho canyon walls, inoro
than one hundred feet from anything
that could have furnished the barbaric
artist a foot or handhold, there is u
weird panoramic view In three scenes.
Under a tree n child is sleeping. Ono
little hand lies across Its breast, while
tho other has fallen carelessly by its
side. A few feet from tho sleeping
babe, a large snake, evidently a rattle
snake, i-i coiled to strike. Down tho
canyon, toward tho west, is scene two.
Tho snake is crawling away, and tho
limbs of tliu child are drawn as though
in the l;u,t convulsions of death. Tho
snake has done its deadly work. Still
further down tho canon Is scene threo.
A warrior, evidently tho father of llio
ehild, with ono arm clasps his dead
babe; with the other hand ho holds a
club. Upon his faco tho rudo artist
has depicted n look of mortal anguish
and hate. A snake lies dead at hit
feet. Thin Is probably llio most beau
tiful picture ever executed by savujjo
hands.
On ono of tho canyon V. walls a war
rior and a maiden aro represented,
gnyly tripping along, hand in hand,
while two doves are circling tinmnA
their heads. 1'lctographs of tho bear
In ono placo a bear followed by two
cubs tho dog, tho mountain Hon and
tho catamount are all to bo found.
Many of these arc evidently of recent
date, and havo probably been executed
by the Navajos, but. hero and there one
meets with ndimpletograph thatbeara
evidence of great age.

Deadly.
Tho glln monster Is a rtllo co.
corning which much has be, said and
' lots of llttlo stories havo be written,
, but Its habits, ncverthclc( nro not
, well known, even whero Ittnost fre
quently found. It wan no icommon
i bight In former years, bal tho San
! l'raiiclhco Chronicle, to scMexIcan
and Indian boys trailing tl hideous
things at tho ends of strlngsjong tho
streets of towns and setthents of
Arizona, taking enro nlwal to keep
their bare feet out of tho ty of tho
uncanny-looking lizard. Sactlmcs,
too, glla monsters, strapped a board
llko planked shad, would b offered
for sale ut prices rnnglnir from medio
to a toston (fifty cents), wlj few or
no buyers. In tho event tin nobody
wanted to Increase his tnennwie with
ono of tho wicked-lookingfasts, It
was generally stoned to deili by Us
owners as a protcbt against ifgcncrnl
usclcssncss.
Several years ago glla moitcrs be
camo somewhat in demand U eastern
collectors, and stuffed or inJiollesli
they command better prices nw, largo
specimens, presumably wntcd for
zoological gardens, being pat for at
good figures. Strangely enouh, blnco
tho interest in tho reptllo hns.rown It
lias become boniewhathcarco. In fact,
the capture of ono nnd its tinsition
to n wire rat trap in the shop f a taxi
dermist in an Arizona town ilconsld
orcd worthy of an item by thot.cnl ro-
porter. No sooner has tho nev
of tho
distinguished arrival been
frnldod
thnn it is gravely inspected
tenderfoot In town, who pc
every
!rs its
owner with so many "darn fod
' ques
hls tic-
lions that ho is glad to hid
qulsltlon in tho backyard.
Most of tho fabulous storM
clrcu-
latcd about tho glla monster lJvo had
their origin in tho minds of tit curio
sellers, who were thus bored death
by tho seeker after lnformaion who
was not willing to buy bometfing nnd
thus recoup tho business man for his
loss of tnno and tho cnnuljthat an
swering greenhorns produced
Whatever may have been sd about
the looks of tho glla monst.;, It Is a
fact that It is a repulsive, era Hug, un
canny reptile, perhaps not m ugly as
many another lizard tho iyiana, for
Instance but instinctively ibhorrcd
because it is so slow. Flightlbeing a
matter of impossibility with tho glln
monster, and as it lacks tho cuinlng to
feign deatli, It must necessarily ns
buino a bold front when threatened
with capture or Injury.
Tho length of tho monsters usually
captured vnrles from ono foot to two
feet nnd a few inches, but specimens a
foot nnd a half in length nro those
most generally brought in. Of this tho
big, conical tall forms one-third. Tho
weight will average from threo to five
pounds. The head Is moro lanec
shaped than that of any other lizard
found In Arizona, the consequence be
ing that tho narrow neck is very pro
nounced and imparts to tho head
while It moves something very much
like tho rattlesnake's performance.
When attacked tho glla monster re
treats about half his length and
crouches close to the ground, but rear
ing head nnd neck in a fierce manner,
while fi black, forked tonguo over an
inch in length, darts swiftly out of a
mouth abnormally wide and cavernous.
At tho same time it emits a hiss, joint
ly with a creaking noise, which is
mado by scraping either its claws,
which nro pointed and sharp, or tho
rough scales of its body upon tho
stones or gravel beneath it. If this
demonstration falls to repulse tho ag
gressor tho glla monster will not hesi
tate, when thoroughly angered, to
make a snap ut tho foe, bo It man or
beast. Hut It will never attack any
thing that it does not require for food
unless first interfered with. If escape
bo near In tho shape of a burro In tho
ground or a hole in tho rocks large
enough for its accommodation, tho
monster will discreetly retiro from
view and remain hidden uutil tho
enemy has retired.
If tho reptile manages to get a grip
with Its horny mouth, as hard and cut
ting as that of a snapping turtle and
filled with sharp needle-liko teeth,
upon tho yielding flesh of an aggressor,
tho vice-like Jaws can only bo pried
apart by great muscular action with
somo instrument. Tito wounds show
all tho indication of blood poisoning
by means of venom, tho limbs bwell,
failure of tho nervous sj'stcm becomes
apparent, and death may ensue, unless
prompt niedleal assistance brings re
lief. Tho story that tho blto of tho glla
monster Is incurable Is not true, but
help must be obtained quickly, assov
cral well-authenticated cases huvo
proved. Cutlously enough, in the cuso
of men who havo been bitten, it was
found that thoso who wero strictly
temperate recovered fur moro quickly
than thoso who wcro in tho habit of
taking stimulants. It turned out also
that, unlike many cases hi which bites
had been tnlllctcd by venomous snakes
of tho North American bpccles, whisky
did not act as an autidoto at all, rather
aggravating the bymptouis.
A taxidermist of Tucson who has
dissected many of theso lizards, says ho
has been unable to discover where tho
venom which they undoubtedly Inject
into tho wounds they produce comes
from. In .poisonous snakes it exudes
from sacs ubovo tho fangs, but in tho
glln monster tho closest investigation
has failed to bhow any such glands con
nected with tho tcetli. Undoubtedly
It is the Etilivn of tho monster, lubri
cating its sharp Incisors, that produces
tho chemical change In tho blood, l'or
that reason it is believed that in the
salivary glands tho venom will bo
found, but that is tho extent of what
is known of tho glla monster's danger
ous power.
