e of the water mountsnearly to the top of the pidlure, under a bright bluesky partly veiled by light, fleecy clouds of a fair dayof summer. Its steep side which contains the mine, isa fascinating ^udy of color—gray and red rocks andbrown earth, the light green of gathering mosses, theyellow ru^ of disintegrating iron in the great labora?tory of the earth under the influence of wet andweather. Near the top, and low toward the water sedge on the left, trees and bushes grow, where vegeta*tion can gain a foothold on the ^eep inclines, and atthe border of the water a dead tree, leaning, adds itsbrown shadow to the many coloring the limpid ^ream.At the foot of the mine runway is a small, white, framehouse, and near by a white canal boat with a greenband lies alongshore. There is a story that this picture belonged to Boss Tweed who owned the mineand wished a portrait of it. The canvas was injured by fire and is repaired at theedges.
