Mr.. Edgley, the father of the two
young men who were murdered near
here last summer by, as is generally
supposed, Robert Breckenridge, called
at this Office last week and requested
us to contradict the story being pub
lished in the press Of the state that he
has become raving maniac. He says
he is far from being crazy, yet We be-
lieve the old gentleman's mental fac
ulties have not regained their equilib-
rum since the terrible blow they re.
ceived by the horrible murder of his
boys. Mr.. Edgley informs us tina,
John Resoner has Colt revolver be.
longing to one of his dead BOYS,
and that Officer Roberts, of Gunnison,
has the burros, tent, blankets, &C.,
also property of his sons. He says he
has tried to get these things, but the
holders won't give them up. If the
old gentleman's story is true the mat.
ter should receive the attention of the
proper authorities. He also says his
sons were interested in two claims
somewhere in this district, but as they
were not recorded he can't find them.
Any one knowing anthing concerning
these claims Of the late William and
James Edgley, will please report al
this Office.

1t is reported that the {: bottom has
dropped out" of Bonanza City, and
that more persons are leaving that
place than are going in. We are sor-
Try to hear this for we like to see every
mining camp in the state prosperous.
The success and prosperity of any
camp in this state helps every other
town within our borders; while the
adversely and failure of any of our
camps in like manner Injuries all the
rest. There is not town in Colo
radc but what to-day is suffering more
or less from the stock -jobbing steals of
Leadville and Silver Cliff, and not
withstanding both camps are now
producing more bullion than ever be-
fore, yet eastern parties will tell you
they want no Colorado property be-
cause they have lost money IN the
two camps above named. OF course
this hurts our entire state-and yet it
is not our fault. Thousands of schem-
ing tenderfeet infest our mountains
looking for opportunities to start a
boom" whereby they can rob the
unwary by selling them worthless
properties. They often create these
booms where there is the least cause
for them, and oftimes without mineral
enough to make a decent mill run.
Bonanza is but few months old and
its affairs have been manipulated by
unscrupulous parties, as we under
stand, who got up an excitement ; but
now that persons are pretty we'll ad-
vised as to the true inwardness of
the place, it is dying natural death.
If all the stories told of Bonanza are
true, the sooner it is dead and forgot
ten the better it will be for the legiti-
mate mining camps of the state.
We fear there are efforts being
made in various parts of this county
to get up such another boom as the
one above referred to, and it is the
duty of every good citizen as we'll as
to their interest, to frown down any
such scheme.

The Elk Mountain pilot., 1881-05-12

A few days ago the PILOT man was
located in a chair by the side of a
stove in one of our saloons, which is
nothing unusual for the individual
above mentioned. Around that stove
were seated a cluster of old time
miners, and as could be expected their
conversation drifted on the merits of
our camp. One old fellow with a
highly colored dudeen clenrhed be-
tween his worries, said he had pros
pected and mined from Alaska to
Mexico, but he says "Boys, this is
good enough for ali Of US. There
is enough here for all of us provided
we do not get impatient. You must
remember, boys, that it takes time to
open up these true fssures. Where
is there another true fssure camp on
the whole western slope that has pro-
duced as much high grade mineral for
the amount Of development as has
been done here7 Why the Comstock
only showed up about ten or fourteen
ounces when 1t was first discovered,
and yet these tenderfeet prospectors
in here if they can't strike, fifty or a
hundred ounce ore on the surface they
are kicking. There are now at least
hundred prospects within four miles
of where we are that has got mineral
in paying quantities, and yet there
amt hundred foot shaft in the camp.
Some of these men here are skimming
along a few feet from the surface with
tunnel, whereas if they could only
set their tunnel up endways and gain
some depth on their vein they would
very soon have mine"
just then an old gray headed fellow
on the other side of the stove, logged
out in rusty miners suit and wide
brlmmed S0mbre,0, seemed to rouse
from a snooze, and jumping up from
his chair, commenced to pace the floor
/
and said, "Boys, l tell you what it Is
this is good enough for me, right here
in this camp" (The boys COM
menced to laugh and one nudged us
to know if we knew who that was. and
when we answered in the negative,
"why," he says "that is the boss
prospector of the San Juan country.
He could sign his check at one time
for couple hundred thousand and
think nothing of it."
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1881-05-12

Irwin is attracting more attention
from capitalists than all other camps
in Gunnison county combined. Not
only this, but more capital is being
invested here, and by next fall we will
show more bullion than a great many
older camps that are now being exten-
sively advertised as bonanzas never to
be equaled. We have the true fssure
veins, which are inexhaustible, and
in time will open them and give an
ore output which will astonish the
mining world. Capital is at work
and soon we will see the successful
result of that work.
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1881-05-12

You can't sell your claims by idly
sitting on dry goods boxes, talking.
Go to work on them and show them
up. If you have not the money to
buy grub, powder and tools, give
some one an interest in your claim to
buy them for you. But don't lounge
about on the street corners asking
fifty thousand dollars for an assess
ment hole with fair indications. The
day tor this kind Of business is past.

We would be pleased if miners and
prospectors would call at this office

concerning their properties. If you

Parties coming in report immense

They will come here if they do have

An Arkansas Dog Story.

Captain PEGS Pritchard owns a dog
that he would not part with for the
world. The world is Il pretty large
offer, but he would not accept it for his
dog Bruno. When in Memphis not
long ago, Bruno got separated from his
master in the crowded street, and when
the Captain went on board II steamboat,
on his return TO Little Rock, the dog
was nowhere to be seen. The owner of
Bruno was much affected by the failure
of his faithful follower to stay with him.
They had Travelled many times from
Little Rock to Memphis and back, both
by steamboat and cars. The wheels of
the Marlin Speed turned the requisite
number of times, and Captain Pritchard
found himself in Little Rock. He
mourned the loss of his dog almost rs
much as if he had lost child, but that
evening, us he sat in his room, there
came scratching ut the door, and
when it was opened Bruno walked in,
wagging his tail with the most frantic
and evident efforts TO wag it off. How
he got home was n nine DAYS wonder.
Captain Pritchard saw Il conductor of
the Memphis IL Little Rock Railroad
day or two after. who said: did your
dog come home?' Yes What do
You know about it?'' He rode over
from Memphis with me. That's all"
''Who put him on the train? want to
thank him." He got on himself,
went into passenger car, sat down.
and whenever the train would stop at
any station would shrink back under
the seats. He did not try to get off at
any station until Little Rock was
reached. When the brakeman opened
the door and shouted Little Rock
out popped Bruno and made straight
for home. "-Littie Rock (Ark.) Ga

Greenhouse and Window Plants.

Insects, when found on the plants.
should be destroyed at once by using
tobacco water, s~oapsuds, etc. Plants.
if neglected, may be ruined in a short
time. Success in the fight with insects
depends largely upon ones promptness
and perseverance.
Climbers, like English ivy, tropeo-
lum, German ivy, ETC., add very much
to the beauty of a greenhouse or win
dow.
Hanging baskets should be placed
where they can have an abundance Of
light and sunshine, and not near the
stove OF register. If the light comes
from mi side, the basket ought to be
turned every day.
Watering: The successful culture Of
house plants depends largely upon tho
care in watering. The pots should have
some pieces of broken pots or oyster
shell put in the bottom to provide pro-
per drainage; with good drainage there
is but little risk from overwhelming
A thorough wetting when water is need

Hanging baskets may be dipped into .

A gradual change: We should have
much fewer complaints of failure with
house plants il they were less subjected
to sudden changes, both when they are
brought in from their summer out-of-
doors. and while in the house in winter.
When the air OF tho room is changed il
