John Dixon, the well known pros prospector, - pector, prospector, Bohemian and newspaper cor correspondent, - respondent, correspondent, has just returned from a long journey to the Holy Cross. -His trip was replete with thrilling incidents, but none more fraught with interest than his experience inlocating a claim, literally in the Holy Cross itself. The mountain derives its name, as every everybody - body everybody knows, from two gulches or fis fissures - sures fissures crossing at right angles on its bleak and inaccessible face. Dixon had conceived the idea that there was an immense mineral deposit at the summit of the mountain, and formed the project of pressing to the cross itself and there locating a claim. The undertaking seemecT at first full of insurmountable difficulties. The cross loomed at leftst a mile and a half beyond the farthest point to which any prospector had ventured, and lay almost directly above an almost perpendicular precipice. Nevertheless he started on his perilous journey alone, and carrying simply his pickax and a few simple tools and pro provisions. - visions. provisions.

These he crossed by lowering himself down one side with ropes, and then often by aid Gf notches cut in the earth, ascend the other. His progress was never faster than a slow wálk, and ofttimes simply a crawl. After infinite perils,' he finally reached the bottom of a long, precipitous incline leading to the wished for spot. The cross had upon near approach lost all semblance to its appearance at a distance, and seemed only two long ragged gulches filled with snow. Toward the foot of the lowest of these was the point toward which Dixon pressed. For a time he managed to progress by crawling on his hands and knees, and then the cliff became so extensively steep that he was obliged to make a long detour in order to surmount it. Finally, creeping .like a fly along a slender crevice that barely offered a foothold on the face of the precipTce, he reached the foot of the cross, and to his joy observed the out outcropping - cropping outcropping of what appeared to be a fine vein of decomposed quartz carrying free gold.
