monter, having been raised we believe
in the town of Cavendish As that is
a country from which we hear very
little we thought it might be interesting
TO our readers TO be presented with some
of the statements Of the letter.
The precise locality is called Scamp
at the Rio Mimbres," and is in latitude
80 degrees north, and longitude 1os de-
gTees west. Eighteen miles TO the east
Us the Mimbres mountain range, running
north and south. Twenty-Five miles to
the west is the Buro mountain, running
parallel with the former. These two
ranges, together with the intervening
plain, is called the dieiae, between the
those Of the Pacific. II we rightly I'M
~derstand, there are but two companies
of cavalry at that Post although there
:are other bodies not far distant, their
principal duty being TO guard the over
land route against the Indians. The
usep all live in tents; but Hospital
| Mslding Is IN process of erection,
II We construction being very simple
Tn walls are made OF sods cut from
the hrottOm land along the river, where
the wxaie- grass roots are abundant, and
the ~sds can be cut ten inches thick.
The uatif is fat first a few poles are
laid n sfroas the walls, then layer Of
reeds u,d lastly, a layer of mud. The
ground serves for the floor, and blankets
for door land windows. This arrange

storms or tine States, but there it will
answer ev cry purpose. Men can live
comfortably eot III ene n'ouh'ailis al

five men were killed and ~serai wouiio-
ed. The doctor has an epache arrow
point and two bullets which NE extract
ed from the persons OF those engaged IN
the fights.
There are many curiositie one "
which is Hot Spring. A mot uau rises
from plain to the height OF 's~ ieet'
on the top of which is crater Oh oasii
20 feet in diameter and 20 feet deep
ono <hi-ds filed with water, at a 'eh-
perature of 200 degrees. Steam con-
stantly rises from the surface, and u p0n
lighting match at the edge of the pc Of,
a blush fame flashes over the who lie
surface which is probably due to the
hydrogen that is constantly rising to the
surface. The pool has three orifices
which discharge a sufficient quantity OF
water to fill tube one foot in diameter
The medicinal properties Of the water
are supposed to be soda, ma pesia, IRON
and sulphur. The doctor thinks il can
be made available in the treatment of
certain chronic diseases, and is using
his best endeavors with the Head of the
Department to establish a Hospital there.
They have an abundance ofgame. Deer,
antelope and grizzly bear are numerous;
evenison steaks are an eye,ry day luxury.
