2 Graph (#5), lies a stratum of volcanic ash, which by comparison with the tunnel height will be seen to have a thickness of about 4 feet. This volcanic ash, so light as to have been carried hundreds of miles from volcanoes in the Rocky Mountain region, during the period of geological formation, has become hard rock. Near the top of the zig-zag trail, which the draw lying north of the bluff through which the foot-tunnel , there stands a storm-beaten pine, not large, but full of character, its of branches attractively following the contour of the bluff-top beyond, when viewed from precisely the right point. The buttes on the summit again appear in this photograph. (#6) Constantly we are reminded of the geological instability of Scott's Bluff. A mere handful of Brule okay -say ten or twelve tons -let go one day quite recently, and painted a light-colored streak on the talus slope. (#7) Frank H. Shoemaker Gering, Nebraska March 9, 1936
