ed every canyon in the mountains
for the nearest route by which to
tap the largest one of the carth's
blood vessels possible, we decided
on lonely but picturesque little
cove in Spring Gulch, facing out
upon the great Pecos Plains, about
about a mile below Ross's we'll
perhaps better known as the Jica-
rilla Spring. Here we set our
pick and shovel to work, about the
first of January, 1887. For our
winter quarters, while working, VIC
constructed us casscta of pine
poles and puncheons, set up against
a centre pole, chicken-coop fash
ion, with huge rock chimney at
one end which WI would fill with
pine knots, get our literature and
rear back as comfortable as a bug
in rug. During the winter we
had many severe snow storms, but
it mattcred not how cold it was it
was a perpetual Spring inside our
shack if we wished it to be so.
Ofteu we have risen in the morn
and found the snow to be 9 or 3
feet deep on the ground, while a
round our shack would be a well
beaten path made by the mountain
lion, where they were seeking q
place to share our fresh meat so
tempting to them. One dark and
stormy night, very late, the roar
ing of lion outside my shack,
near the head of my bed. turned
me into an iceberg. 1t was sew

fit me. began to think that an
unhealthy locality for a civil man,

ly we concluded to stick it out but
we would get very lonesome some
times. as our neighbors were not
worry thick, and on Sundays we
would visit among the camps to
hear tell of the discovery of the
wcck's work and experience in the
Territory and Lincoln County.
Billy the Kid and the Lincoln Co.
War were familiar topics of dis
culsion with many other important
subjects, such as future prospects,
so bright for the Jicarillas, White
Oaks and other adjacent mining
districts, besides the vast and va
ri0us resources Of the entire Terri

We carried cur we'll down through

when We struck a good flow of
cold water. Never were hearts
prouder than ours, nor faith and
courage stronger.
This was about the latter part of
February. In II short time we
sold the well to a stockman from
the plains by the name of James
lbelion, as we had no stock of our
own. We then left the energetic
miners of the .Jicarillas, for the
beautiful mountain city of Vi hite

A business engagement called the editor
of THE TIMES to Alpena last week, and
perhaps few notes relative 10 that section
of cur state may be of some interest TO our
readers.
The city of Alpena Is the county seat Of
Alpena county, and has a population esti-
mated at $4,000. 1t is exceedingly pleas
antly situated at the head OF Thunder Bay
and along the Thunder Bay river for a mile
or more on either bank. 1t Is easily reach
ed from Detroit, $50 miles south, via the
fine lines of steamers making tri-weekly
trips, besides daily line TO and from Bay
City, and by Gov. Ayers finely built and
equipped railroad, the Detroit. Bay City IL
Alpena. The county OF Alpena comprises
an area of some $50 square miles, and while
the most OF it was and still is covered with
a heavy growth of both soft and hard
woods. Is said to have some as fine farms
and rich agricultural lands as can be found
In the state, on which can be produced in
rich abundance all cereals and vegetables
adapted to that latitude. though the manu-
facture of lumber I'm Its various departments
is at present the principal industry, 2,000,-
900 feet of logs have been cut i'm the eleven
mills in the city OF Alpena during the year
1880.
The population is decidedly cosmopolitan
and peoples from all countries thrOng the
streets of the city, in which on every hand
are indications of wealth and business pros
perity, and in which the prices paid for
labor are said to be the highest i'm any lum-
Der city In the country, which accounts for
the general prosperity so apparent ON every
hand. During our stay in Alpena we were
quartered at "The Churchill" hotel of
which any city in the state would be justly
proud, and which has few equals, and very
few superiors, in all that goes to make
public house, home for the weary traveller.
The city has three able weekly newspapers,
of which the Pioneer is the oldest, has the
largest circulation, is ably edited and is the
organ of the Republican party. 1t is, also,
the home of our popular State Treasurer.
Hon. George l.. Maltz, who is president of
the National Bank, proprietor of the best
Opera House, for city of its size, we
remember to have seen anywhere and the
acoustic qualities OF which could scarcely be
improved, and secretary and treasurer of
one of the largest lumber companies in the
state.
Our stay in the city was made exceeding
ly pleasant by courtesies extended by Hon.
Andrew Harshaw, one of the efficient merI
chants of that lumber metropolis of North
eastern Michigan and whose personal popu-
larity has secured him two elections to the
state senate in district largely against him
politically, Mr.. Joel X. Parker, whom many
of our citizens will remember as the hustling
agent of the Singer Sewing Machine Com
pany who some years ago had an Office OH
Main street west, where is now the boot and
shoe store of Messrs. Murray e Terbush.
and i'm general by the brothers and sisters of
Beulah and Alpsna lodges of the Indepen-
dent Order of Odd Fellows, at whose invita-
ton we visited their city to take part in the
list anniversary of the establishment of the
order ii the United States.

HE TIMES does not like the non-action
of Congress on the pension question. The
one thing which Congress must not forget
or ignore this session is the Republican
pledge to the soldiers and sailors of the war
for the Union. A long line of Democratic
Congresses have set down on the veterans,
despite their pledges, while we have prom
ised to deal justly with them, and they only
ask justice. and that very mOdestly, when
they ask for pensions in their old age.
Thus far in We way of special bills, and the
dependent pension bill, the present Con-
gres has done well by the nations sayi0urs.
But service pension is the one bill that
will do full and perfect justice to the war
heroes, and the only bill that will be satisfac-
tory to them. and the bill that will equitably
redeem the Republican pledges made TO the
brave boys in blue. AS important as we be-
lieve the pending tariff legislation to be. as
necessary as is the passage OF a law to in
sure equal rights to the coored man with a
free ballot and fair count of the votes
actually cast imperative as Is the demand
for financial legislation, none of these bills
should be permitted to obscure or delay the
promised pension legislation. The Bour-
D0ns will make desperate effort to secure
control of the next House, and base their
hopes largely on the failure of Congress to
properly look after the interests of the SOL
diers and the wage-earners. III the Demo-
erats should succeed in carrying the next
House. all hope OF securing honest pension
legislation would be ut an end. 10 be Just

The Supreme Court has decided that the
act of the legislature of 1889. regulating the

somewhere, but we do not know that there
was anyone specially i'm fault. But we dc
know that the result is unfortunate, and we
fear will tell against us in the coming cam
paign. AT least this lesson should teach us

In and out Of Congress the Democratic
workers and the Democratic press have been
claiming that at the recent election i'm Butte,
the verdict OF the people was against the Re
publican claim of fraud in the notorious
Tunnel district But what are the facts?
At the state election the Democratic major
ity in Butte, in total vote of 1000 was
800. At the spring election the total vote
in Butte was $500. and the Democratic
majority was only 257. That is with an in
creased total vote of just 500; the Demo
cratic majority was reduced los. TO have
held their own the Democratic majority
should have been 457, but that is exactly
200 more than it is. showing Democratic
loss of about As per cent. Of the increased
vote 304 were Republican while only 1876
were Democratic. Just how this vote is a
oensure Of the Republicans in the Senate in
recognizing the Republican Legislature, in
Montana, and admitting to their seats the
Republican senators elected by that Legis-
iatare. is very difficult for us to see. Per-
