THE CAP OF LIBERTY.

North of Yowiye is a magnificent dome which rises two thousand feet above the top of the fall, and four thousand six hundred feet above the valley. It resembles a cap of liberty and bears that name. It is also called Mahta and Mt. Broderick. This dome is shown in the photograph as it is seen from the west at a distance of a mile.

XVIII. Mahta, (Cap of Liberty) Mount Broderick. 4,600 feet above the Valley. Yowiye. Nevada Fall, at the right.
