"He had sand in his craw,
 But was slow on the draw, So we planted him out in the dew
And on the opposite side:
John Doe, New York; To fresh-42 caliber.
 May 6, 1881. Kilt by old Hall and a Gun

John Doe, New York;
 To fresh-42 caliber,
 May 6, 1881.
 Kilt by old Hall and Gun"
 This is a succient history of the mans fate. The name, John Doe, plainly indi- cates that the man was unknown. It is definitely settled that "he had sand in his craw," which, in miners parlianee, means that he was brave man, "but he was slow on the draw" and "Old Hall and his gun" blew his light out. Would that all obituaries were as brief.
 In May, lSS0 tragedy occurring over in Gunnison City by which ''Dutch Bill" a noted desperado, was sent on the final trip to that bourne when no despsrado eyer returns. Out had killed a man at Buena Vista and fled to Gunnison He was lying in a tent, with pistol on each side of him, when Q Sheriff arrived and woke him. Dutch did't like to be dis turbed and opened fire upon the officer, who ran, bat, shooting back through the tent as he fled, he killed his man by d chance shot. Dutch was buried with im- posing ceremonies on little knoll near the Tomichi river, and withered branch was thrust into the ground to mark the spot. On this stake was written in pen cil "Dutch Bill"-only this and nothing more.
 Away up in the mountains in Summit county, near the present site of Robin son, lies the old deserted town of Ten Mile, which hourished in 1859 and died soon after The wash from the noun Undiscovered it up, and it lay buried for years, until people drawn by the Lead vile excitement disinterred it. The records of Ten Mile are somewhat ob- scure. It was up in the wilderness of mountain craigs and ravines, away hun dreds of miles from the outposts of civ ilization, but it's graveyard tells a differ ent story. It is a very healthy grave yard, and must have run the town very close i'll numbers and inhabitants.
 In this grave yard, on the principal headstone, is the following epitapy:
 Jack Crane was good fellow
 Who drauk his whisky mellow;
 But he fell through, on mountain dew,
 And now has gone to hello.
 On another small stone, shaped with a rude attempt at artistic style, is
 "oursallie aged 9O died 1882"
 Perhaps this was one of the charac- ters so often seen in the old mining camps, but now almost extinct. Some lost woman who wandered out beyond civilization to hide herself-but spacu' lation is useless, for '62 is a long ways back-for Colorado.
