An article in a recent issue of the 
Enterprise recalled to Mrs. “Dick Cal¬ 
vin. wife of our former state senator, 
who is now United States marshal, 
living in Denver, a visit which she 
and her husband made in the east last 
summer, and of her accidental run¬ 
ning into a reminisensce of the visit 
to th[e Mount of the Holy Cross in 
1873 of the Hayden geological survey 
—the first survey to have been made 
of this famous legion. Mrs. Callen 
has written the Enterprise of her visit 
and it revelations and we reproduce 
it as follows, as of local interest:

18. I was reminded to write yoa of 
my pleasant experience of last sum¬ 
mer. In September I accompanied 
Dick to Washington, D. C., and, after 
a few very delightful days there, wietot 
out to my old home in Hopedale, 
Ohio. On my visit, at the home of 
one of my cousins, she showed me 
a colection of wonderful oil paint¬ 
ings—said they were from her broth¬ 
er’s collection at Washington, D. C. 
One wag of the Mount of the Holy 
Cross. I said, how come this one. She 
told me her brother was Dr. W. H. 
Holmes, a noted geologist, and was. 
with Dr. Hayden in 1873 and 1874 
when he made his geological survey 
of that district. She then told me of 
a very infleresting experience which 
her brother had on that first trip to j 
the Mount of the Holy Cross. “-He 
wag lost -for three day from his party 
a»4-itt-4ws wanderings tailed a bear. 
Thinking his companion would not be¬ 
lieve him he cut off onie of the paws 
and brought it to camp.” Dr. Holmeg 
made the maps and painted the pic¬ 
tures for the Hayden maps. He is 
now over 80 v^ars old and has had 
and now has charge of the art ex¬ 
hibit in Smithonian Institute in Wash¬ 
ington. He is growing old and is giv¬ 
ing his collection to his friends and 
family. I told her o fthe efforts on 
the part of Father Carrigan and Dr. 
Randall in behalf of the Pilgrimage, 
and I think it would be fine if they 
could send some of their literature 
to Dr. Holmes, and I am sure he 
would be inteUeisted. He can be lo¬ 
cated by addressing him, Hon. W. H. 
Holmes, care of Cosmos Club, Wash¬ 
ington, D. C. 
I am sending bis sister the clipping 
from your paper of January 18. 
We are all fine. Mr. Callen likes 
his position, but wie miss seeing our 
old time friends of the Western Slope, 
and we wish them all well. 
Sincerely, 
Mrs. R. C. Callen.
