THE BABY OVER THE way.
bY wAsHINsToN -eLApDEs.


There is the window over the way
That was 1T with babyss face by day si7t -
But the shutters are closed, and at the door
The doctors gig for an hour has stood
And they tell us-the little gnssips four, HF
Who bring US the news of the neighborhood-
That the doctor is coming every day e7e4Ef
To see the baby over the way
The terrible scarlet scourge has come,
And brother and sister are sent from home.
Each day they come to the gate to hear f1l q
. From the mothers lips how the baby is,
And the face is blanching with trouble and
i-- fear - 7s-f-I - ss4ii
That drops from the window mournful kiss (;
For. in spite of the skill of doctor and nurse,
The baby over the way grows worse.
When the midnight bushes the city's noise
We hear the cry of feeble voice, sir55s.f5t
And know that the room where the light burns
Holds hearts that watci, for the morning light;
What the day shah bring, if they could but
They would cling to the lingering hours of
For hearts viii break with the breaking day
When the long watch closes over the way 8
The baby over the way is dead. llJs- Il
And the mourners will not be comfOrted.
o, desolate ones no strangers voice
May break your silence, for words are cheap
But your gTiefs we tell by our tenderest joys;
q Our four little gossips are fast asleep: fll
That here in the dark we were crying with you?

WOMEN IN, CoNvERsArIoN.-It is
their eminent domain. There is a
good deal of banter afoat on the sub
ject, and one. might easily suppose
that our women were given to talk !;
but nothing is further from, the truth,
Their fault in society is that they do
not talk. They are timid-noti social
ly,. but intellectually. They are afraid
to imbibe, Or to cherish, or to ,enun-
ciateg ideas. They mistrlst their own
capacities and requirements, and have
mistrusted them SO long and SO sim
cerely that the. .mistrust presently be-
comes final and fatal. .7sThey have too
much sense to be iIly,ntand too little
power to be -forgetful, SO. they
take q secondary place when they
ought to be in the yan.. 1t is not op-
preston ON the one part nor SUPERIOR
ity on the other, but the natural effect

and cedar timber is abundant. Water is furnished by numerous springs.
 About three miles north of this camp, some very rich discoveries have been made. Great excitement has been created by the discovery of 8 vast ledge some 20 or 30 feet Ill thick ness and showing all across the vein quantities of horn silver. This ledge, it is stated, will eclipse the famed Tiger lode in the Bradshaw district.
 The lodes are found in granite rock and run northeast and southwest They can be traced a long distance. The walls are we'll defined and the body of ore increases in thickness and width as it goes down.
 Experienced miners are arriving daily from White Pine, Pioche and other districts, and all concur that in no place have richer and more ac- cessible mines been found. Supplies are obtained at reasonable prices at Hardyville, on the Colorado river, a point reached by steamboats at all stages of the river. At this place a depot will be established for the shipment of ores and bullion.

LETTER FROM NEW MEXICO.
How Splend1dly the Reservation System Works Against Citizens and Protects Thieving Indians.

The annexed letter is from prom inent business man to one of our very best military officers, who kindly forwarded it to us with permission to use its substance. As we cannot abridge it without weakening the strong points, we give it in his own language. It shows bad state of affairs over in New Mexico, but we do have confidence that General Granger will turn loose on the public fed thieves and murderers and bring them to a realizing sense of the enormity of their crimes. But to the letter:
 RIO MIMBREs, N. M., July IS, 1871. For several weeks past the Indians have been very regular in their visits to this settlement, and each time got off with a few head of stock. A few days ago a party of our citizens fol- lowed their stock to the Alamoso Res ervation; found the stock they were in pursuit of, and also saw ten or twelve head of horses that had been stolen from this place, but they could not get the1r stock back. The Agent could give them no satisfaction, but he kindly gave them permission to buy their stock from the Indians if they could do it; but the Lo family asked more than the owners could raise, and they were compelled to come off without anything.
 Now, you know there is something radically wrong about this reservation system. The Indians regularly draw their rations, and then get passes to go out and steal, and have safe place to take their stolen property, too, and are then protected by government officers from the owners of that stolen property.
 A state of open war would be pref erable to this; but what can we do ? There are not citizens enough here to clean them out, and there is no law that will take hold of them. I wish you would extend one of your scouts this far and make a good killing, you would receive the thanks of every good citizen of New Mexico. There are about 500 Indians on the reser- vation.
 We may add that under orders is- sued & month or two ago, the military are authorized to pursue hostile h. dians to and on their reservations, and here is a fine opportunity to exercise the right.

THE GALENA HEDGES.

At Mineral Park, distant from Cerbat in a northerly direction about five miles, very rich belt of Hedges have been found. These crop out chiefly ln a large flat covered with cedar timber. The ores contain chlo- ride and sulphide of silver with but little base metal. They are exceed- ingly rich.
 The Keystone, a wide ledge, has a shaft about 40 feet in depth; the ores assaying from two hundred to two thousand dollars per ton. The Fair field, an extension of the Keystone also promises well, but not so much work has been done on it. The Lone Star, the Setting Sun, the Dexter Putnam, Norwalk, War Horse, Tele- graph and numerous other claims, all open well. There are about sixty men at this camp at present, all busily engaged in opening their mines. A five stamp mill is now being erected and it expected to be in working order about the middle of August.
