There is a freshness and a quality to the at- Digitized by Google AND MARBLE HALLS OP OREGON. 75 ftiosphere that is most enjoyable and is entirely wanting in the valleys below. Pursuing our course still to the west for about six miles we come to the "Big Red mountain," so called from the distinctly reddish cast of its formation. It Is perhaps seven thousand feet high, with rugged peaks, pinnacles and high cliffs where one may sit and look into dizzy depths almost directly below him. This eminen...ce is three or four miles long and seems entirely distinct in its character from the main granite mass of the Siskiyous of which it is a part. It is largely of serpentine and about it are found fine prospects of cinnabar, where a number of claims have been taken and considerable development work has been done. This old mountain breaks abruptly down to Beaver creek at the south and is a delightfully grassy slope almost to the stream a mile away. If one were out for pastime and a summer outing a finer place for a week's indulgence in hunting and fishing could not be found than on the banks of Beaver a couple of miles below the summit of Red mountain.
