The sun is now setting, and there are a few clouds above the summits into which look some little islands than clouds. To the left of this Peak is the one and you Gl- nadle Springs in the shadow of the Peak. It resembles a wide cone and the shadow does not lie so much upon the line as projected on it. In five minutes it is gone and thus we have a clear and sharp outline of the jagged Mts. The coloration is intense and blends beautifully. The atmosphere is cold and the thermometer shows a temperature of 29 degrees Fahrenheit. Later the moon rises and skies are as clear on the Peak the Mts in the distance cannot be made out. The electric lights of the Cities show clearly and those of Denver can also be seen 30 miles down. The Keeper of the Summit House and a press P. F. Gleason of South Omaha
