WANDERINGS.

The world is cold, and dreary, and dark,
No song of pleasure, or voice Of lark
Comes to the ear in the weary din
OF toll and turmoil, and woe and sim
We all are full Of trouble and pain
Our weary strivings seem all in vain;
For all we find that our heart approve,
Slips from our grasp as we onward move.
We wandered once through quiet dell,
And all that we found there pleased us we'll.
Contentment and peace filled all the air,
And tho sweet perfume Of flow rcts fair.
But a cloud came DER the landscape fair,
And though very small, was full OF care;
We felt its shadows around US fall,
Thoguh much we tried to avoid them all
And as the shadows around us fell,
We wandered out of the quiet dell,
And into forest, dim and DID,
Where all was dreary and dark and cold,
Where loathsome serpents around us crept
And pale white spectres their vgils kept
And with homcsick tears our eyes were wet,
For our bright past, we could not forget.
So we wandered on with purpose bold,
Throughout the forest SO gray and old,
But ne'er again saw the quiet dell
Whehein were all things that pleased US well
But near our path, even close at hand,
As We wandered through this weary land,
" The shade of great rock DER us hung,
And in its shelter our songs we sung.
And after these hours of sweet content,
Lifting our burdens, our way we went,
But we'll ne'er forget where'er we go,
The friendly Rock, where we rested so,

l was in Utah in September and Octo-
Der 1872, with Mr.. Anderson, president
Of the company. attending to the litiga.
tion. In the latter month we visited the
mine, and it then looked we'll. Mr.. An.
derson expressed himself as fully satisfied.
He said that he and his friends in Glas-
gov owned largely in the stock, and that
he had come out to see for himself. This
was year after the sale Of the mine in
London, and the stock was then selling
at Is to 20 per cent. premium. There
never was fairer transaction than the
Emma mine. The English people knew
the reputation OF the mine, and what was
more important, they knew of its great
production by the receipt Of its ores. They
came to us to purchase. We sold subject
to examination by party selected by
them. Three English directors visited
the mine at Intervals February, July
and October, 1922 and all were salts
fed, and each gave as favorable report
as the one given by Prof Silliman. The
stock was above par for over year.
Our subsequent relations with the COM
pany may be best understood by the fol-
lowing resolution adopted at one of the
meetings of the board of directors, on the
10th day of December, 1872:
December 10, 1872.
To Hon. W. M. Stewart, Washington:
DEAR Sm:-I have much pleasure in trans
mitting to you the following resolutions passed
this day at the board meeting of the directors of
this company:
vote of thanks was unanimously passed to
Messrs Park and Stewart for tho very able and
valuable assistance afforded by those gentlemen
in the successful prosecution of suit against
the Emma Hill Consolidated Mining Compan Y,
and for the handsome way they have devoted
their time, and incurred expenses free of charge
t. the company, during the continuance of the
| litigation
trust We have now seen, thanks to you, the
last of thes, wreichei lawsuits.
Shall we haze the pleasure of seeing you here
again at our board' Y'ur presence would I as
sure you, be great qualification to all.
Yours faithfully,
W. II, TookE, Secretary,
1t is not our fault that the stock fuc.
tuates in the market, or that the mine
does not pay now as we'll as it did at one
time. Mining property is subject to great
fluctuations in value. The Comstock vein
is good illustration. The Belcher aud
Crown Point mines, in 1868, were brough,
in the market at about one thousand dol.
lars per lineal foot After that time the
ore bodies failed, and these mines had no
market value, and could be bought for a
nominal sum. 1872, new ore bodies
having been discovered, the stock of these
mines rose to about fifteen thousand dol.
lars foot, and they have produced iu
the last twelve months over ten millions
each. Every mine of the Comstock will
show similar fluctuations in value.
do not think the Emma Mine has
failed or been worked out. A small por.
tion only of the ground has been explor.

couraging in its prospects.
Yours truly,
