For the last half century them-
can residents of Tucson. Ariz" have
becoming to solve nmyotory‘ in the
ohopoiof what appears to be a hole
through a mountain peak in loin
light of the town. In the rarefied air
it looks .tohe only o short distance
am, when, in reality it' iii at least
tortymlleii. The earliest residents na-
tlced the phenomenon, and the only
dlfiionlty thatlay in the way of finding
out just; what it was was the fact that
it was inaccessible, and when they
came anywhere near the spot the hole
dwappeared from night. In fact, it can
anlylio soon from within a low miles at
Tucson. and this has led many people
to believe that’ it is not a hole at all.
By the aid of a good marine telescope
the mountain can be brought to within
a few. miles, but not near enough to
tell the exact nature of the roek tormnr
hon. An astronomical telescope can
not be focused on it, as the mountain is
so near. A iirstpeop through the glass
would lead one to believe that there
was no mystery about it. The hole
appears as plain as possible, but several
days’ study of the spot will develop the
{net that the hole does not always look
the some.
’lllany days when the sky is dark be
llltld‘tllc mountain the hole' will appear
a brilliant white, like a anowdrift, and
on days when the sky is blue it Will
otton look so dark as to be almost in.
Visible. These facts have led many to
think that it is an immense pieco'ot
mica, lying with its polished surface
toward the sky and reflecting the cloud
formations of {timber part of the hori-
zon instead of being the light seen
through a hole. Viewed with! the
naked eye. the hole simply appears as a
white spot, but the telescope rovenli
pine trees and other details, although
‘\'ery indistiiit'tly.
The range of mountains in which the
strange poikciii be soon is known as
the (.‘atalinaa and numerous parties
have made the attempt to climb it, but
all have failed on account of the steep
and rugged preeipiccii in tho vicinity.
The peak in a high one, and can be noun
from any point in the journey toward
it. but when ten mics outof Tuciiou the
hole can no longer be neon, ei’en with
the aid of a glass. This can be ex
plained on the mica theory. an; aunt--
t’neo of that material would not reflect
a ray of light toward a mrnon'e eye
