returned and so I remain up in the Ohio. Had a very bad night, with head- sche and palpitation of the heart and did not sleep more than four during the nights. Where one has wonderful sensations. Below us are directions we down into and to the east are appear as a plain and one looks far away into Kansas. Drilling to the edge there is a drop of thousands feet down by the "Gates". To the north at the same depth and farther on is the Otoe Pass through which the Midland R.R. runs to Griffith Creek 35 miles by rail and about 15 by track. Far in the North is Longs Peak and very far in the South one sees the snow caps some of the Spanish Peaks. To the west all is mountainous terminating in a very jagged hard snow covered tops calling up by the Pikes Peak. These extend for forty miles for S. towards the Spanish Peaks.
