IN THE LEAD.

An EAGLE reporter was talking with =
commercial man yesterday, who has trsv-
eled in many state. Of the union this season
and has lately visited number of towns in
Kansas, ard of the states, reports Kansas
standing at the head in business. he had
no hesitation in pronouncing this state more
successful than any other in competing with
the hard times. This encouraging fact, he
thought. was due both to the superior nat
ursl resources of the state and the unparalleled
energy and business activity OF the people.
In speaking of the towns and cities be hsd
this year visited he ssid Wichita WAS in
the lead. The state he considered no
farther ahead of other states than this city
ahead Of other cities. On approaching =
man here with view Of selling a bill OF
goods he net quite different look from
that presented him in other places The
reply generally made is cant cell en-
but here it is "will they SELF" or sis that the
best offer you can make." The difference
he thought was easily rAccgnized by nsn
Of his profession. The one gave hope while

The following is taken from the LaPlata
Miner, published at Silverton, Colorado:
speaking of gold mines on Kendall, q
claim which has heretofore escaped our no.
tice, but nevertheless one Of the most valua-
Bile in the country, is the Star of the West.
situated on the south slope of Kendall and
about one and half miles from town. The
property is owned by H. Burson, Z. L.
Adams, E. j. Harlow and z. Parker, of
Wichita, Kss., and I. Boyd, Of Ohio. Two
men have been working the mine for sew
eral months, and as result of their labors
have shown up the property in a splendid
manner, and succeeded in piling upon the
dump a car load Of 500 quartz. The mine
is developed by tunnel run in thirty-fve
feet, at the breast of which shaft has been
sunk thirty feet. A cross-cut at the bottom
of the shalt to ind the width of the lode il
now in sixteen feet, ten feet of which has
been run in gold quartz, the rest is vein mat
ter. As the work was done frequent mill
runs of twenty-five pounds were made,
which efectually demonstrated the fact that
the deeper the shaft the richer the ore. We
have been shown the returns Of the different
samples, which were as follows: From the
cropping g Of the lode the first sample runs
ozs. silver and 6-l0 oxs. in gold; at the
point of starting shaft, OF ozs silver and
1870 oze. gold; at bottom of shaft, the
last sample returned, 20 ozs. silver and 10
ozs. gold. The quantity of quartz in sight
i. simply immense, and the Miner is the first
to announce another bonanza opened.
Glory. is Silverton, the great gold camp;
the great carbonate camp. and the biggest

concerning tho genuineness of the ore, and

liant over their almost unexpected success.

Piled that not one cent less than good, big

To tn. Editor of the KaxIe.

To the Editor Of the Eaxle.
This enterprising and growing city Is situ-
ated in the eastern part Of Harper county,
and is surrounded with we'll watered and
excellent farming country. The city was
first laid out less then eighteen months ago,
and has already . population Of more than
1000. All lines of trade are we'll represent
ed, with about fifty business firms. while the
territory tributary for their support will ~.
ersge distance Of from fifteen 10 twenty
miles in every direction, which insures .
very substantial and increasing trade.
The Santa Fe R. r Co. owns large amount
of land adjoining the town. and it is the
opinion of many that the city, will at 10
distant date. be division point for more
than one branch Of this system Of roads.
and that within two years time it will also
become an important station on the grand
through route from Kansas City and Wichi-
Is to FL Paso and Southern California.
Among the many advantages of this section
is the unlimited supply of pure soft water
which underlies the city and the surround
ing country for miles, and is easily
obtained Ut depth Of from ten
to thirty feet During our last visit
here, through the courtesy of our friend G.
G. Hancock, the gentlemanly clerk of the
National hotel, your correspondent en-
ioyed the pleasure of drive over the city,
and out to what is known as the Balkin
spring. This magnificent spring Of pure,
soft water is on the Bslkin place half mile
west Of town, and SO valuable is it to the
railroad company that they have a pump
ing engine here, which carries the water to
their supply tanks st.the station, distance
of several thousand feet
Quite a mug Der of handsome business
blocks are being erected here this season,
the most prominent of which is the Peoples

aGood-bye. and God be with you"
At last the words are said
And the hopes that once We cherished
Are lying cold and dead.
And 1 did the deed, dear,
With . simple word and smile,
But the pain Of . breaking heart, dear,
Wa maddening me the while.
Sometime afar in the future
You will bless me for the blow
That now seems cold and cruel,
That bids you from me 60.
And u All well, life will go on
And years hence they will tell
Of time when too loved, perhaps
Not wisely, but too well.
Goodbye, the pain 1 suffered
None but my God can know,
As quietly stood before you
And said, "Its better So"
