A LEAP-YEAR LAMENT.

The golden year is nearly sped
This year of girlish wooing,
And lol my hope Of love is dead
And fate is past undoingl
When suitOrs came in gentle spring
And proffered their caresses,
Like some coqnettsb, giddy thing,
/ spuTned their fond addresses,
So Minnie Maggie, Maud. and Belle,
Miranda, Jane. and Jessie,
Maria Mamie, Ruth and Nell
And charming bue,eyed Bessie
Went wooing other kindlier men
Too numerous to mention,
And I, by this hsgira then,
Was left without a tentiCn.
But. IN the sere OF autumn, came
That sweetest maid of many,
With wit and beauty known TO fame
The blithe and winsome Jennie.
And, having wooed as woman can,
Protesting she adored me,
She wed her fathers hired man
And that completely hoored me-
o silly eelibate, that spurned
The leap year wooing vernal,
How has thy naughty scorning turned
To self-reproach eternall
I'd give my wealth my life-my fame
If could summon TO me
In this bleak hour those nymphs that came
In early spring to WOO mel

When YOU give it this ration, do not

are further off near the ends OF the

limbs Of the tree, and TO properly fer

area. Then fork II ia and you have

AT THE BRIDGE, DELTA, May l2.-"How

As 1t Is here we are stranded on the north

How ~ This /?

To the Blitcr Of THE CHIEF.
NORTH FORK, Nay s. lsSi.-I have of late
noticed several putiincs and praisings in your
paper of a new town on the North Fork,
called Vineyards, or La Ninia, showing the
car.marks of one Bricc Drake, the "Don" of
THE CHIP. And now comes to us in all its
rcfulgcnt splcndor, the La Ninia San, sup.
posed to be printed in this town. My object
in writing this is to give you some pointers
about this scheme, of which you probab-
" not aware. The town is as yet a myth,
not a house worthy the name, the great oat.
meal factory yet thing of the future moth.
ing in fact but Bricc Drake and his cotton
wood dam. This town scheme, like its orig.
inators, is a fraud of the most magnificent
size. Its situation, on an adobe fiat where
sagcbrush and chico will hardly grow, is a
fraud its prospective mammoth manutac-
tories are frauds; its saw.mill and corn
cracker are frauds and further, its paper is
a fraud of the worst description, being only
a transcript of the Gunnison San, and print.
ed in Gunnison by that most eminent fraud,
Sylvester Richardson, assaycr of grindstoncs
jug.handlcs, etc. My only object in writing
you this letter is to warn the gulliblc tender
feet against these questionable enterprises, as
without doubt the La Ninin San will be thor
oughly circulated through the State and the
east. Now the people of the North Fork
don't want any such scheme laid To their
door. We repudiate it. When a.town is laid
out let it be done lcgitimately, and by all
means take 1t away from an adobe fiat.

RambIinxs From North Fork.

To the Editor Of THE CHIEF:
PAoSIA, May 8. lsS4.-The upper portion
Of the valley is coming out. So much stormy
weather and rain have kept seeding back,
but now every one seems to be at it in full
blast Mr. Wade is still working as though
he meant TO live while he does live. He is
opening a road direct to the bridge just being
built opposite him. Nothing to the super
structure is at hand. Mr.. Meredith is on the
stream alone trying to raft down the timbers
for the same, but the tortuous course of the
stream and the immense boulders scattered
along make it nearly impractcable to float
logs. If this be the case there will not be
much saving done no place on the lower
North Fork.
Samuel Wade talks of putting in a dam
and mill near him. lie has an excellent site
for a water mill. and that is one of the things
needed in country away from market.
People are looking for the "big canal" TO
start. Some have located ranches under it.
The weather brings soft showers, and soft,
melting sunshine. North Fork is rising fast.
every little s;reamlct unites TO swell the big
Gunnisou sweeping westward.
The flowers and wild onions are showing
themselves Ito the olfactory nerves. the
wood-ticks bite, the horned -;oads flee away,
the deer are going higher. Everything is
