The cloudburst was one of the heaviest in that soctiim ami soon the river, swollen by mountain torrents near Canon City, had risen eight fret six inches. The trains of the Denver 4 Rio (■ramie and Colorado .Midland railroads were blocked at many places and scores of tourists were delayed at Pu eblo, Salida, Grand Junction and other points. The magnificent Royal gorge, where tlie Arkansas river rushes through a canyon nearly 3,000 feet deep, was a scene of wild fury. The water had reached a level of the famous hanging bridge. Many of the nearby canyons were washed clear of tracks. At Pueblo last night the water was splashing over the levee at the state asylum grounds, and with a six-inch rise the grounds of the asylum a» well aa a largo jortien of th« resilience por tion nearby will be under water.

For two or three days past there have been indica tions of an eruption of some kind near Fountain hotel. Yellowstone park. Yesterday a new geyser broke out in full force about 100 feet north of the regular Fountain g-y«—•, •>••»’ ’he tel. Today this new geyser, which does not appear to affect any of the others in the vicinity, played to a height of 150 to 200 feet, throwing immense quantities of hot water ami steam. The new geyser does not play regu larly, as does "Old Faithful, ’but at short Intervals, eruptions occurring Ave or six hours apart and lasting about one hour. The crater of the new geyser is large and the quantity of water thrown similar to that of the great Fountain geyser, located some two miles south of the Fountain hotel, though the water from the new one is carried to a much greater height.
