 ED CIrIzES:-I suppose you were dls- appointed when the caravan arrived, and Jumbo was missing. We started all right as Der programme arranged for line of march; reached Woods stati On all O. K, where We stopped to take a dose of ambition. At the corral we met handsome Charlie, the stage drIver, who sat on the top rail of the fence showing his tine teeth, betting a silken nous tache and making eyes at the pretty girls of our train. As We never miss chance of swapping narratives with snyone we meet, We Gccostsd him with hello old pard."
 Hello Jumbc." Where are you Gc- ing?to Tucson?"
 "Yes: heard the proprietor of a grO- cery store enquIIins about us, hey? said something about an attachment for us, did he? well We always knew be had a rattlIng regard for us, but attachment We seriously object Co, particularly the kind that HiicEeS Cn to your horse and wagon, Ur house and lot. Travellers would not kick, II they would attach a lot or two Tn Logan, but If they should go for our trunk and lall our good clo;he-, that would settle 1t. Take your advice and steer clear Of Tucson, hayl Better cut cross lots and take in Casa Granada, Well, believe We will; might strike some thing there to make a grub stake. What small things sometimes turn the whole current cf oa- lives! and the lit- tie conversation with handsome Charlie turned our face toward Casa Grsnde, in- stead of the aged and revered pueblo.
 On an unlimited amount of cheek and trunk have secured comfortable quar- ters m 'Jerry's Hotel" Found the boys here we'll, gay and happy, and ready to bet theIr bottom dollar on the new water scheme, and Mineral Hill being the coming camp of the Territory. But our hopes still cling to the mouldering past, and the QuuOtoa mining district that holds our hearts as we'll as our de nero"
 Ohl here comes Jerry, with the letters | One from Logan that we open with l trembling fingers. It IS from our old l friend Archie" He ssys-well we will l just forward you his letter and that will | explainEtseli.
 ARCHIE's LETTER.
 LOGAN, Jan. 26.-FRIEND JUMBO: Since you turned your back upon the | Bonanza Camp several little incidents of interest have transpired in our midst, | and as I promised faithfully to keep you posted. will endeavOr to do SO to the I best of my ability, although letter writ ing IS out of my lIDe of business. and | nothing would induce me to attempt 1t l but the friendship and regard l bear you, knowing your interest m all that belongs to the camp and anxiety to hear all thst Is going on.
 About the time of your departure the few remaining inhabitants were astound- cd by the arrival of live minister, a young man by the pane of Gill from, sent by the Missionary society l as We all knew. We did not need to be and was ever noted for being a christian and purely moral community | and the presumption, was that he was sent out to bury us. But soon there was rumOr floating about that there was to be a wedding m town, l watched and long every move cf the suspected parties and the minister The gang tor what Is left of them, had the-r tin cans and horns ready to be used at d notice, A few evenings since our young minister could have been seen wandering aimlessly along Rs for an evening, stroll, over the trail leading to the Bonanza Co.'S works. About the same time the before mentioned couple were noticed on the road leading to the same point. 1 thought there WAS something up, so I followed at a safe distance. The parties all reached the works. The Mir. Magrew, and wi were there with lights. And beneath the shadows of the engine that Johnny Sutherland had run Tor the past ten months, his marriage with Mrs. l.. A. Henry was sOlemnized. I. of course, kept shady and silent, and I know you will not give me away.
 The last stage took out a load of adies. Of the number were Mrs. Por- Ter and her llttle son, also Miss PaytOn. | Mr. Marks is packing his stock of goods to ship to Tucson. Goldschmidt, with the Pioneer Book Store. leaves to-day.

 Each day our number grows beAuti- 'ully less, and the proposition" now IS there will be very few of us left to hold he camp.
 If anything turns up for our benefit, will let you know at once and then Fou must come back. We miss you every day and every hour, old fellow, md still hope to see all the old familiar aces back with us. With best wishes or your welfare and success, am ever
 Yours faithfully,
 ARCHIE.
 We'll, 1t makes fellow kind of blue to near from the place, and who would Isve "thunk" 1t, our old friend and Itsnd-by falling a victim to the tender passion at this stage in the game.
