Afemor,cs Of 10y, why come ye pack
TotrcnbIe o'cr the heart like pain
Recalling many II sunny track
ON footsteps ne'cr shall trace again;
,ovod f,rns now greet us on :hc stair,
Loved voices tremhle in our ears
And phantom pleasures everywhere
Laueh at the spccter of our fears.
I'VE ser bright faces nj! agIow
Will youth and pleasures brightest
beam,
Iichoing footsteps come and go,
And visions Ger the fancics glcam.
They come like some melodious dream
Whose varying cadence Gibbs and
flows,
Or, likc the shodows on a stream
Ger which the south wind gently
blows.
Only quiet lane we see,
The sunlight glance in dimpled
| smiles;
Approachng it, perchnncc, may be
a simple flower our step begiios.
AnIeldcr brush, whose blossomc white
Recall the freshness of our youth;
The happy heart, the sweet delight,
The soul, whose atmosphere was
truth.
We hear the cow-bells on the hill,
And, blending with their tnkling
lays,
We hear within our memory still
The songs of long-forgotten days.
e suddenly an odor flows
From some sweet flower remember
ed well.
Che trembling heart strings feel re
IL pose
balm--froiu whence? We cannot tell.

Worth Remembering

One day last week Mrs. Edward
Walker, of Towanda felt q peculiar
and uncomfortable buzaing in her
head and told her daughter, Miss
Walkor, that it felt as if some insect
was in it. Tho latter having heard
that in casos whore there is Al in
sect hidden in tho head light will
sometimes bring it out, tried bold
ing light to Mrs. Walkers ear, 10
a short tme small black spider
came out and Mrs. Walker was at
once relieved. 1t was a narrow escape
from danger which would been
serious if not fatal, and the simple
expedient is worth remembering.

Fred Schwartze and Thos. Farthing got
into an alteration about some land which
Farthing lately purchased from the rail

exciting scene, in the midst of which
Schwartze drove his fist through a large
pane of ground ornamental glass, smash
it into pieces and cutting his wrist very
severely with the glass, The wound bled
p%rofusely and painted the sidewalks red

it to be dressed.
DIR. Maynard finally bandaged it and
found that two arteries were severed. The
left wrist is the injured one. The broken

CHEYENNE, Wyo,i July 90, 1856
70 Or. y II Co'ohiek.-DEAR sIR-Ir
answer TO your inquiry as to the value O.
the King David mine, Idesire to give my
convictions as follows:
l.. The mine is one OF exceptions
value. Under proper management thii
property could be made to pay large divi'
dends on a capitalization of $500, 900,
My reasons for this conviction are the fol.
lowing:
TAI The lode occurs in a true assure,
and like most true assures is of variable
breadth. but ranging from 8 to II feet in
breadth
(b) In this fissure occur several streaks
of high grade mineral, consisting mainly
of copper glance, but having also smaller
streaks of gray copper and other forms OF
copper ore. The copper glance contains
IS per cent. ofmetallic copper and all the
ores carry more or less silver, the average OF
my own assays giving l6s ounces of silver
per ton, and 4Gi per cent of copper, On
the north drift and lower level the foot
wall contains an ore streak of copper
glance 80 inches thick.
(c) | have never known in all my min
ing experience Al ore body of this char
acter to run out with depth. On the
contrary, all such mines invariably increase
in quantity and quality as greater depth
is reached.
.. Taking the position of this mine
geologically and geographically, its already
well prospected character and the needed
water supply close by, the conviction
must be forced on the minds of mining
men that the prospective value of this
property must be very great. Truly yours,
SAML AUGHEY, Territorial Geologist
will simply state in addition to the
above that since the date of Prof
Aughey's original report on the mine, all
the development done has in every par
ticular substantiated the probabilities in
Dictated in that report In other respects,
Prof Aughey's report needs no endorse
ment of mine.

Brutus Buchanan, a young man who
works at Woods & Potter's saw mills at
Laramie City, has built a boat and is
going to make a trip down the Platte to
the Missouri river. This IS a feat never
before undertaken, and one that is full Of
peril 1t is 1856 miles from Laramie to
Fort Laramie, the river making a wide
detour to get around the Black hills.
From there it is about 500 miles to Platts-
mouth. Mr., Buchanan says he makes
the "trip in this way to save money and see
the country, that he has more time
than money and has his craft well pro
visioned for the trip The bold navigator,
who built his boat in the mountains, was
capsized once in making his way to Lara
mic, where the craft is now lying, and il is
hoped that the old rule. "a bad begin
ming has a good ending" may preserve
him from more serious accidents along the
route.

The Northwestern Railways Intentions
Ia wyoming.

For some time past there has been con-
siderable talk Of the advent into Wyoming
Territory Of the Northwestern Railway
company's Nebraska extension, known as
the Sioux City and Pacific railway. This
road crosses the Missouri at Blair, a few
miles north OF Omaha, and follows up the
windings Of the Elkhon river, penetrat-
ing the full length of Elkhorn valley, one
of the richest portions of Nebraska. After
leaving Valentine it was pushed on to a
station named Chadron, on the White
river, in Nebraska, and about fifty miles
east of the Wyoming line, and due east
OF Fort Laramie. The iron is now down
as far as Chadron, and hat place, two
months ago, containing a single house,
now has nearly a thousand residents,
three banks, substantial mercantile
houses, and the country about it along the
White river is settling up with great
rapiditY, while already the corn is waving
in the valleys, where a year ago there was
not a solitary settler. The road will be
completed to Deadwood, a distance of l25
miles from Chadron, this year.
The Northwestern people have sent a
company of prospectors over Wyoming to
examine the extent and value of the coal
fields near Fort Fetterman, and if they
make a favorable report on their return a
branch will Immediately be built from
Chadron to Fort Robinson, thence across
the east line of Wyoming to Fort lara
mie, thence to Fort Fetterman and thence
by the most available route to the coal
fields. The importance of such a move on
the part of the Northwestern will be seen
from the fact that there is no coal along
the entire Nebraska line but what is hauled
from Iowa, Kansas or Wyoming. They
would thus be enabled to mine their own
fuel and to supply the vast country tribu-
tary to their line, and now wholly de-
pendent on the Union Pacific.
