LOTIMATEB OWEN ON ALL KINDs OF tvOitit H \A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.\ Some years ago. shortly after tis return from a trip in the Yellowstone , National Park, the late Judge A. J. Elder. of Boulder. wrote for the Hele- na Herald an article having the above title which attracted much attention throughout the country and which was copied by riti. - 4 riekspapera. THE AGE, believing that the article will be interesting to many of its readers, having never been printed in thia.:ooenty, takes the liberty of re- publhthing it this week. The article was prefaced with elaboratebeadlines. of which the following is weepy: A WONDEFRUL DISCOVERY. The Bodies of Me Dead ..Vo Longer Food for Worms. Nor Will They Again Turn to Duet.

After remaining at the lake for a few days to rest our stock, we started on a trip of two or three weeke acrosts the mountains in a southeasterly di- rection, descending • the same to the east on a divide between two great gorges or basins. In the earlier part of our trip we had encountered great patches of snow drifts on the higher mountains which we either had to plow through or circle around; but there was no snow on this divide, and what seemed strange to us, as we - made the descent, it appeared to lay in great patches at: the bottom of the gorges. When, however, we at length reached the bottom, we found that these white patches, instead of being snow, were really beds and mounds of pure 'silica, some of them resem- bling glass and others white quartz. These deposits of silica bore no re- semblance to the dikes and lodes seen elsewhere throughout the Rocky -Mountains, but . were _mere_ Iturfaee, deposits, apparently of recent forma- tion, the face of some of them being almost as sleek and smoeth an ice. Indeed, it was with difficulty we made our way over them with our bare- - ted ponies:es - we int\ down the now united gorge,.

After we had pre - meal, and while seated around the camp -fire, the person we had 'seen and saluted in the • door of the cabin - came up, accompanied by a decrepit old man, and joined the„eirele around the fire. I then discovered they were Germans. and being of German birth myself I addressed thenrk that lan- guage. They seemed really glad to see us. and asked us many questions, especially about their native land and the Emperor William, in whom the young man seemed to take great in- terest. On taking their leave for the night they expressed a desire that we should remin near them for some time, and if they -eould be of any ser- vice to us in our search for gold they would cheerfully render it. We continued -our camp at this place for a week. and of course during that time our acquaintance with the occupante of the cabin became more intimate dity - by day.

On -the-sixth day of our **ay the young man invited me, for the first time, patty MP Int' the interior, and met with a half -bred Crow Indian, who had been employed as a scout by the American Ortierinnent=-1-le wetted quite intelligent for an Indian, and was recommended am faithfuf and re- liable by the officers at Fort Abraham, -Lincoln. On explaining to my guide that I had no particular place to go to, but was 'in search of and would prospect about for a sectión of country where the greatest number of petri- factions could be found—at the same showing him a sin li number of fossil specimens procured on my route through America—he said he knew a land far away beyond the country of his tribe, full of sienimens of that kind. He then described to me in his simple way the place we are now in, and of 'course, with my ,object in view, it was the very place I was seeking. I have- now been here over- two years. The few articles that I have requiïèa have been brought to sue by 'faithful guide. I was very fortunate in finding this locality.
