the town was built are all idle, and many

thing will turn up. There are few sights
more deplorable than the wreck Of q once

1t is a grand pleasure to be melancholy
to stand on a bluff, perhaps. and watch
from safe point a crew Of storm-tossed
mariners fighting to save their ship and

to see the brave sailors safe and
their noble craft gliding into harbor
under easy sail, mistress Of the deep.
Grantsville, though now in the throes to
all outward seeming, is a place of possibili-
ties. The few devoted miners and pros
