TO THE CHILDREN OF HILLS
BOROUGH.
BY A. d.

Dear children, four months the Day Of
Memorial
My dear one has gone to his rest,
With tears I'm bewailing my absence
But my friends thought that absence was
best:
1t would bring back the sadness of parting,
Slow but sure is the healing of Cod
But my heart is left there in the church
yard
With the one who sleeps under the sod.
There's rose DER the lattice entwininS
OF our home: we both tended with care,
He wished SO much to see blooming
With the fragrance to pc ~fume the air;
The last was there it was budding
The roses are white and are rare
will YOU twine wreath of these roses
And place on his grave, fresh and fair
know the G. A. X. will remember
The flowers to strew over his sod
But the little brown hands of the children
With their offerings, would please him and
God;
90 far away quite contented
That you children will work in my stead
Strew flowers for the sake of the living
As well as for that of the dead.
Under the sod in that graveyard
We have laid the good and the true
Honest hearts wore the grey and as noble
As our brave boys who wore only blue;
Their silvery voices all mingle
For their spirits have returned to thelidod
Around their faults let charity cling
As with flowers we cover the sod
DKMtNo, New Mexico.

THE GREAT APEX.

sill yer Cit. Enterprise.
This interesting ease was brought
here on a change Of venue from Sler-
ra county. The case has been on
since Friday last, and owing to its
peculiar complexities, has proven of
more than usual interest to the min
ing fraternity of this section. The
question at issue was, whether or
not a claim located in a lime for
nation had any right to follow ores
extending beyond the slde-lines, as
also the existence of contact veins
In the Kingston district, and If they
do, if such vein exists in the H.
lnois mine, and The location made
upon the Apex, and if the mineral
can be followed out of the side line
of that mine into the ground OF the
Calamity mine. A jury was empan-
nelled Thursday last and the case
proc eeded to trial Friday last. fully
half of Kingston camp, or at least
the mining portion of it, is directly
interested In the result OF this suit,
and the contingent present proved
conclusively that the case In ques-
tian had vital interest for all con-
in mining IN lime formations. Both
parties to the suit came fully pre-
pared for the contest, and pains nor
expense were spared to prove the
right of the contestants. The ILL
inois Silver mining company, the
defendants in the suit, produced
among other things series OF maps
charts and diagrams -as well rs a
plaster model of the surface ground
of their claim. The model had
been built in sections, 50 as to
show the intricacles of the interior
workings of the mine.
| Expert testimony was introduced
on behalf of the defendants to
prove continuity of ore, as well as
to demonstrate the contact contin-
uous ore theory. The model pro
duced in evidence was the work OF
William Harris, the superlntend-
ent of the Illinois, and was a mas
terpiece OF mechanism, showing
as it did all the workings of the
mine In their various sinuosities
and demonstrating with mathemat-
ical exactitude the exploitation as
conducted under his own and for
mer arrangements. A large num-
ber of samples of ore taken from
different portions of the mine were
offered in evidence. A cloud of wit.
nesses, differently interested, were
called and examined at length and
all the questions and answers were
taken down 10y strenographer, II
gave grand opportunity for the
counsel to interfere with objections
And they stretched the limit, as the
court was very frequently called
upon to settle disputes as we'll as

case. The plaintiffs on the other
hand, who had no expert testimony
to introduce relied solely upon the
evidence and testimony of practical

with the geological construction OF
the country, and who had years OF
experience in their business. Many
