"Curley Bill Rogers has return
ed to. st. Elmo, and will probably
remain during the winter. He re-
ports having discovered, near
Ouray, one Of the most miraculous
ly rich veins ever heard of. Mr..
Rogers was doing the discovery as
sessment for an eccentric sort of
fellow who had staked the ground,
when he happened to strike into
this marvellous body of mineral. 1t
consists of white quartz, through
which run broad sheets of pure
gold, bright and shining. with here
and there chunks of pure ruby sill

virgin gold. In fact, he says gold
and silver are as thlckly intel
spersed and in much the same for
nation rs the galena and iron
pyrites combinations of this camp.
From the rock thrown out by one
single-hand shot, which Mr.. Rogers
put in himself, as much pure gold
was pounded out as a man could
hold in one heaping handful The
walls are thirty feet apart, and be-
tween them is a soft gouge of red
porphyry, which has been washed
away, leaving the walls stand as
smooth and regular as masonry.
The golden ledge is about two feet
wide, lying next to the foot wall.
1t seems that the ground there
abouts was not appropriated, and
Mr.. Rogers promptly caught on to
the extension.-&. Elmo Noun

The last we heard of Bill Rogers

glad to hear that he has struck it

PINE LANDS IN THE SOUTH.

These writers who are always
urging that the lumber and timber
lands Of the United States will soon
be exhausted, should tisit the pine
lands of the South. Taking st.
Louis as starting point, by follow
ing the Iron Mountain railroad into
Arkansas, you soor strike an i'm
mense forest of yellow pine, which
extends nearly across the State.
This has hardly been encroached
ON. except for local purposes. Pass
ing across the Texas line We reach
the Texas belt, which stretches
across the eastern end of the State,
md is from .seventy-tive to one hum
dred and fifty miles in width.
These lands have supplied the vast
prairie region of Central and West
ern Texas with lumber for years,
and although the rapid settling up
of that locality has created 9 great
demand for lumber and builGing
material, and many million feet
have been shipped over the Texas
and Pacific Railroad, yet the in
roads made are scarcely apprecia-
BILE. in view of the supply remain
ing untouched. Passing eastward,
Louisiana and Mississippi each have
large tracts of unbroken forest of
the finest pine in the world. While
Georgia and Florida have long been
prominent as lumber. producing
States, from Florida aorthward
there stretches line of almost vir-
gin forest TO Virginia.
All this land is now being brought
into market, and there is a large
excess over the amount required
for local purposes. The railroad
system now being SO rapidly de-
veloped will soon be called upon to
transport this to Northern and
Western markets. The coasting
trade, already large, is increasing
every year. What is needed TO
more fully develop this source Of
wealth is men with capital, brains
and energy. to build mills and bring
buyers and sellers together. There
is enough pine timber in the States
south of Mason and Dixon's line to
supply the markets of the United
States for many years North and
South.

Pomeroy's Democrat. He says:
Satisfied, after six years of hard
study and labor, that the Green

itself into dominant party. and
that all reforms needed to keep
pace with progression can be
brought about within the Demo
cratic party, and that they never
can and never will be by the Re-

we hope effective battle for true
Democratic principles, such as are
terminated in the Constitution

We learn that the parties who had
the contract for cleaning out Pear
River have left that stream in q
worse condition than it was at first
1t seems that during high water they
cut the trees along the banks, but
did Lot remove them, and the conse-
quence is n number of RATS have
been formed in The river. rendering
it impossible to navigate the stream
or float logs. Instead of improving
the river, it is sail they have ruined
it. We are also'informed that they
left a number of stumps standing.
and that it is actually dangerous for
boat to ascend the river. II this
is true they should be required to
undo their work and fulfill the
terms of their contract, by removing
all snags and stumps from the river,
before receiving the money which
was appropriated for thai purpose.

brown corrugated paper was lying

If she wanted to try one of them

walk up stairs, the swelling was
