Bound FOR SAN FRANcIsco.-Two
small children reached Rochester the
other day from Albany; they were bound
for San Francisco. Several attempts had
been made by Central railroad officials to
assist them, but they would listen to no
one, nor take any advice, until one Mr..
Strnble offered his help. In him they
placed entire confidence, and did as he
requested. Their baggage consisted of a
basket containing nearly one hundred
pounds of food The little boy asked
for postal card. One was given him,
and he quietly sat down, and, with his
knee for a table, filed the blank side
with an account of his experience thus
far, and then mailed It to his uncle in
Albany. When Mr. Struble had placed
them safely upon the train for Salamanca,
and asked the conductor to see that they
boarded the right train at that point, the
little hero extended his hand in grateful
acknowledgment of the services in his be-
half. When allusion was made to the
weight of their lunch basket, the little
fellow remarked: "Oh that will be
getting lighter" The father of the chill
dren lives in California, whittier they are
bound, and their mother recently died.

Enlalie McGirlygrit sat silently by the

laden clouds up 10 the Western horizon,
hnrving in their cold bosom the golden
drowned sun that erstWhile CLEANED

beacon light of his love my life would
be starless blank-a mere chaos. No, L

soul with the thought that he could be
untrue to me"-and with these words the
girl stepped into the conservatory,
plueked blush-rose, and placing it in
her nut-brOwn hair, walked slowly to her
boudOir.
Seating herself on damask-covered
fauteuil. she touched bell that stood on
q table near by, and scarcely had its sill

pushed aside the damask curtains that
hid from view an alcoVe and entered the
room. Give me my volume OF Tenny-
son S poems, Nannette,' said Eulalie.
The book WAS handed her-an elegant
bound work Rising slowly, Eulalie
placed the book under one corner of the
fauteuil, and saying to herself, well, L
guess have fixed that pesky, short-leg-
ged sofa now, lay quietly down and was
soon wrapped in the sweet slumber of
innocent maidenhood. Such is the power
Of poetry.

The Gunnison people are very
much exercised over the advent of a
steam whistle in that burg. If they
we're in Irwin at the usual hours, they
would think old Gabe himself had
broken loose. Here six or eight
whistles blow at the same time and
Jerusalem ponies "jine in +" the
chorus. Kinney, the little Irish doc
tor, is also to be seen around town at
any hour in the day "tootin' his
hon." Next month the iron horse
will be whistling around the curves
coming up Coal Greek canon, drawing
a string of coal dumps to go back
loaded with black diamonds.

The east bound train out of Gunni-
son leaves at 1880 a. m., and the
west bound train arrives at 1855 p. m.
This will give ample time for our peo-
pie to make connection without stop
ping over night at Gunnison if this is
to be the schedule time. The coach
can leave Gunnison at 1890 p. n. and
arrive here at 7 p. M, and leave here
at 6 a. m. and connect with the east
bound train. By this means we will
receive our mails one day sooner it
the mail is made up in a separate
pouch on the train as it should be.

THE WELL.


Work on the Hopewell is looming
"way up" To see the tents now
stretched and buildings going up one
would think that a new town was be-
ing built. The Hopewell buildings
in course of erection are credit alike
to the magnitude of the mining prop
erty and the push and enterprise OF
its managers. The boarding house,
building 24x75 feet, two stolies high.
is rapidly approaching completion
The roof is covered, floor laid, build
ing sided UP and the partitions being
put in. The building is not only
commodious but as comfortable as ii
can be made. A room 13xs4 feet, at
the front of the first story, has been
set apart as reading room, and MIR.
NJ. NJ. Pomeroy, the president of the
Standard Mining company, has prom
ised to furnish il with library. at his
own expense. The dwelling house is
located on knoll about $50 or 200
feet east of the boarding house. This
building with its handsome bay win
dow and inviting piazza, command
ing beautiful view of the falls Of An
thracite creek, just above the Hope
we'll vein, will present both nobby
and picturesque appearance. The
Office Of the manager and superintend-
ent is being erected little in advance
Of the two buildings just described and
between them, and distant about 70
feet from the Hopewell dump and in
full view Of everything going on, in
and around the shaft house. The ex-
cavation for the shaft house is going
on as fast as the pick, shovel and drill
can move the rock. As this is to be
done partly on the vein large guam
tity of beautiful as we'll as rich miner
al taken from the excavation will pay
the cost of the shaft house. This will
be when completed 75xo5, "a feet
high. All the buildings on the Hope
we'll property are being put up in the
most substantial and workmanlike
manner and Of the best material that
can be obtained. The shaft is now
about 70 feet deep and is being sunk
as rapidly as men can do it. Consid-
erabse ore is On the dump and one lot
has been sent to Denver for treatment.

Among the gentlemen in Mr.. E. A.

Among the gentlemen in Mr.. E. A.
Bucks party is Mr.. H. G.. Tombler
of Pennsylvania. Although Mr.. Tom
bier brings down the scales at 22o
pounds he is as active as a black-taiied
deer. While being entertained by
Gen. John W. Singleton at Quincy, a
foot race was arranged between Mr..
Tombler and Mr.. Young Of the party.
Mr.. Young weighs about five pounds
more than his opponent. Mr.. Tom
bier won the race by about six inches.
Since entering the mountain region
Messrs. Tombler and Young have
gone through course of practical
training by clambering over the foot
hills and visiting the coal and silver
mines owned by Messrs. Buck, Tom
bier and other Eastern capitalists.
This has improved Mr.. Young's pow
ers of endurance to such an extent
that he believes he can now show the
way to the Pennsylvania in long
race. Mr.. Tombler declares that he
can't, and as an evidence of his belief
has backed himself against Mr.. Young
for three hundred shares of Bullion
King, in a race from the Windsor over
Mount Owens and return. The men
will start at 4 A. M. tomorrow. Mr..
Tombler is slight favorite in the bet
ting from the fact that he is believed
to have the most bottom.

The road bed of the D. & r. G.. is
nearly completed from Gunnison to
Irwin via Crested Butte. The ties are
cut and mostly distributed along the
route, and bets''are being freely offer
ed in town that the road will be COM
pleted to this place in less than 60
days or by the first Of October. In
stead of setting banquet for the rail
road officials when the cars arrive
here, our people propose to load sever
al trains with ore, take it to Denver
and then make the railroad do the
honors.
