For Denver and the dwellers on the eastern plain the sun is an hour high; but the hamlet mining-camp of Argentine, with its dovecote railway station and two-pronged siding, still lies in the steel-blue depths of the canyon shadow. Massive mountains, dark green to the timber line and dazzling white above it, shut in the narrow valley to right and left.
"Susan Wingfield is avenged!" said the farmer, as he arose, drenched in the blood of his opponent. "Susan Wingfield!" exclaimed the wounded man "what was she to you?" "Much," replied the farmer.

When we get below, we shall find BAQUEANOS, Argentine shepherds, who will guide us through the Pampas, and swift horses accustomed to gallop over the plains. Let's go forward then, I say, and without a moment's hesitation." "Forward!" they all exclaimed. "You will not go with us, then?" said Glenarvan to the CATAPEZ. "I am the muleteer," was the reply.

There's a job offered me out there."
General Vedia, having ample room at his command for a metropolitan experiment, has laid it out in long avenues seventy-five feet wide, with a view to its future magnificence when it shall have become the outlet of the northern regions of the Argentine Confederation and the emporium of the Brazilian province of Matto Grosso.
No sign of decrease appeared on the surface of the immense lake, yet the flood seemed to have reached its maximum height; but the violence with which it rushed from the south to north proved that the equilibrium of the Argentine rivers was not restored. Before getting lower the liquid mass must remain stationary, as in the case with the ocean before the ebb tide commences.
