No murmur Of advancing foes
Now swels upon the wind,
No troubled thoughts at midnight haInts
OF loved ones left behind:
No vision of the mOrrDws strife
The warriors dream alarms;
No braying horn or screaming ME
At the dawn to call to arms
Glad, glad DER earth in our native land
bends the bow of peace to-day; no soldier
folds his uniform above his manly heart, no
battleflelds, no war; only where King Corn
is slam in Its filthy cellars and saloons We
go forth to-day peaceful people, proud of our
nation, our homes, and thanksgiving in our
hearts for Gods most precious gift-f'ea f.
Sorrow dlms the eye when we think OF our
fallen cOunrymen, OF fathers, brothers, and
many kindred relations that have crumblcd TO
dust, though their vacant places nj home are
known aud kept sacrea--tor such as these we
weep bitter tears. The soldiers in blue are
not forgotten. Memory wanders to-day to the
silent dust where they are lald-a tribute to
our country. The years are passing one by
one and the garments are folded away in the
long, silent years, but they who still remain
in the home circle keep their silent places
their message of love Is written at home--a
sacred place; while abroad they are cherished
as the children of the nation.
Yon marble minstrers voceless atone
In deathless song shall tell,
When many q vanished year has hown,
The story how We fell.
No wreck nor change, nor winters blight,
Nor times remorseess doom,
Can dim one raw of holy light
That gilds your glorious tomb. MARY.

A Vision Of War.

Shadowy as 1t may seem, It was real to me.
l see 1t now, just as it appeared in my dream
and caused me to wonder If such was the
battlefield. l seemed TO be standing between
contending armies, at first not knowing such
to he the case; then suddenly the heavens
were lii up with one lurid sheet Of flames and
smoke. Cannonading commenced. Rockets
and shells fell all around. The scene was so
light could pick up pin from the ground,
and could see the advancing foes on both
sides through the thin smoke, looking like
skeleton figures as on, on they came. In tear
and wonder l said, "Father, is this scene the
battle. field? are these the fields where so much
anguish is known, where so many tears are
shed?" Oh, horror! the tears, the groans !!
Can it be real Still the cannons poured forth
their missiles of death; still the heavens were
lit up with shell and shot Could | expect to
pass those lines in safety. where death was
dealt out SO plentitullyy 1t was so real to
me--the martial strains, the advancing foes.
Mercifully the field Of carnage was hidden,
for after the battle could no longer see. The
groans, the tears, where comrades lay bleeding
side by side as the night faded into full day,
those were now all hidden. When ! awoke
thanked a kind providence that these battle
fields are hidden in the past, and may our
dear American homes never know again the
ravages of war May all nations bow by
peaceful rivcrs, and there be no more contend
ing armies, but all live in the sunlight Of
brave men and loving women, ready for the
freslde charities of home, peace on our Dor
ders, sunlight ia our homes. and no dream,

4 Singular Find.

The railroad company in boring for water at Lordsburg, New Mexico, made 8 mineral discovery of wonder ful promise. The well was dug and cribbed for ninety feet from the sur face. and quite ledge Of excellent ore was developed. From this point the eight-inch drill was set al work and run down 450 feet, bringing up at that depth Tn a vein of almost pure silver, sample Of which was sent tO the CITIZEN office. The well was abandoned and privilege given to the railroad employees at LoIdshurg 10 locate the singularly discovered mine which they did not hesitate to do at once. The lucky boys fully expect to find an immense bonanza in Ihe bottom of the well, and their spirits have correspondingly risen.

The Odd Fellow. Annivsrsary

Every Odd Fellow in town ought to feel proud of the entire success of their celebration Tuesday. It was a highly interesting affair for all who participated. A'ter the parade the further exercises were held in the Park, where appropriate addresses were made by Col. F. Stanford, Messrs. c. H. Wicker. F. F. Miller and Col. c. D. Poston.
 h the evenInO over three hundred invited guests assem bled in the pavil- ion at the Park, where the merry makers were surfeited with dance. The Sixth Cavalry band furnished th e music, which WAS really superb, and until supper was announced there wss a continual round of enjoyment.
 One of tne pleasantest variations of the usual order of dances was the Scotch dances executed by Mr. Wm. c. Calder, in full highland costume. His execution of the delicste steps was faultless and elicited much ap- plause.
 The supper was served in the Park Restaurant by NIT. SorgatZ, and al though preparations were not made for so large a party, every one ob- tained plentiful supply of excellent food. The dance programme after supper was subjected to several un- autkOriZed innovations not entirely satisfactory to many participants, bul altogether every one found as much real enjoyment as one evenings en- tertainment could well contribute. The memory of this pleasant party will remain long with all who were present

The PatagOnIas.

J. McC. Elliott returned Monday from the Patagonia mountains, for a load of provisions, etc, for the new camp at his mines on the trai. from the Trench mlne to the SOnoita river, about five miles from Harshaw. MT. Elliot and Hon. Edward P. Allis, of Milwaukee, own the following mines in that vicinity The Conundrum, Security, Commonwealth, California, Cosmopolitan, Hancock, Iron Cap, Garfield, Alley, Milwaukee, WiscOn- sin and Metropolitan. Good trails have been made to the mines, and a supply of water secured sufficient for all present needs. Contracts have been let for sinking several shafts on the properties, and the camp prom ises to be quite lively one. The ore is said to be very good and is all free milling. Some time has necessarily been expended in discovering the To- cation of several blind iedges upon the development of which actual work will begin at once.

The coal miners have all retired from the fields near San Carlos, upon information being given them that the Indians would be turned upon them if they dId not leave. The surveying party sent out by ihe Southern Pacific Railroad Company in charge Of Col. L. D Norton, to survey the coal lands and determine their exact location, was ordered by Agent Tiffany to abandon the work. But Col. Norton is not the person to abandon duty upon meeting with such an obstacle, and taking advantage of moonlight nights and the early hours of the morning, he succeeded in surveying the land even 10 the Agency itself, n spite of TiffaGy's orders. The miners from that section do not speak in terms of very great endearment of the Indian Agent at San Carlos.

 Max BOehmer, United States Dep uty Mineral Surveyor, Leaovllle, Colorado-Sir; l sm in receip: or your communication of the 22d u!t., requesting instruction for your guld' ance in certain cases dem8nding your official action as United States Deputy Mineral Surveyor.
 First Can one of the locators of mining claim upon which the neces- sary amount of expenditures for Q given year have not been made felo- cate the same as abandoned property in his own name, and for himself | onlyf
 Section 2s24 Revised Statutes, after prescribing the value of labor Co Oe performed, or improvements to be made annually, upon each claim, ID order to protect the possessory rights of locators, provides tha! upon 6 | failure to comply with these eOndl- | tions, the claim or mine upon when such failure occurred shall be open 10 relocation in the same manner as it no location of the same had ever been made, provided, that the orlgl- nal locatOTs, their heirs, assigns or le- gal representatives, have not resumed work upon the claim after failure and before such location
 From this it will be seen that the ! only question to b. considered m the case stated is whether one Of s num- Der of original locstOrs, whose claim | has been abandoned, would stand upon the same footing ss q stranger | tO the first location, who, by the pro- vision above recited, is expressly au- thorized to relocate such abandoned | claim.
 It is clear that one of number of locators of certain claim can, con. currently with such joint location, | locate a separate claim, independently i of his cO-locators; and as an aban- doned clam reverts to the mass Of unappropriated public lands, and be- comes subject to new appropriation | "In the same manner as fl no lOCa | ton of the same had ever been made, | l can see no valid objection 10 new adverse location of such claim by one of the former locators.
 Second. Such location being valId. can the locator claim the amount of money actually expended by himself for work on the original location as a part of the expenditures required by law to entitle him to receive patent for the claims SO relocated
 AS has been stated, the right Co make such relocation by one of the original lUcators Is founded upon the forfeiture or abandonment of the claim consequent upon his own dere- | fiction. as well as tha. of his assOci- ates. He cannot, therefore, be per mitted to assume the dual character of an original claimant and reloca- | tor.
 Having iocsted the claim in the same manner as if no location Cf tue same bad ever been made, 1t Is not competent for him under existing law 10 appropriate rights whose extin- guishment mutt have been a neces- sary precedent 10 a valid relocation. His rights are the same as those of a party who had no interest in the pre- viOus location, neither greater nor less, Very respectfully,

 Nine months since, and almost IL sight Of our own house, upon pub lie street, ID the light Of day, an infant girl was burned 10 death al 4 o'clock in the afternoon by Der brutal father the unfeeiing mother standing by and making DO Cffsrt 10 prevent the horrible deed. The husband and father was a blacksmith, and his forge served ss the place wherein tU carry out his plans of destruction. Two daughters had come 10 these parents, but both sickened and died. At the arrival of the third, both parents were fully impressed with the idea that the spirit of these two girls had returned and taken possession Ot the third child. Accordingly the father col lected some wood, laid his fire and placed the born babe upon it. The cries of the little sufferer sCOu brought in the neigh bOrs, and in short time more than a hundred per sons had collected around the blazing mass. Some pleaded with the father to desist: others offered money to pur- chase the child and thus save it from the terrible death; but the father repled, Il am determined Co burn it 70 death, for this is the first time this spirit has come 10 us, and If do not burn it we may be troubled with IL again. Fuel was added to the Ire, and soon the little body was burned to 0 crisp, after which stone was tied to it, and while yet smoking it was cast into a canal near by. Had the police been called, the child's life might have been saved but the fear of "the spirit was more to the parents than all else. Thus go on these 200, 000,000 of wOmtn in heatEeE darkness, silent abetters, If not actual perpetrators, of wrong deeds. Each day, no doubt, b -ars Its own stains; and how our heart sickens at the thought of being in the midst of such things with but litile power to break the cloud of worse than Geathly gloom overlapping them.

PeIton

MT. Mark Lully returned Wednes- day from visit 10 the Silver Bell dis trict. He reports matters very lively about Pelton. About sixty men are at work on the Old Boot and Blue Coat mines, night and day. The road to the mines is all graded, and sui ficient water supply has been devel- oped. The grading for the smelter is being made, and as soon as it ar rlves it will be erected. Mining mat ters are being pushed energetically in the district, and rich copper mines are being opened on all sides. The Reardon group of mines are being opened and give great promise. A large store and boarding house have recently been erected iu Pelton, and the place begins to look quite like a village.
