Mineral Resources.

Mineral Resources.
The more extended inquiry we
make about the minerals Of our own
section, the more surprised we are to
learn of the many valuable deposits
within short radius Of Shepherds
town, lying yet undeveloped. and I'M
dreamed of by some who walk over
them daily. Closer investigation,
however is now being directed this
way, and we venture the assertion
there are some surprises in store for
our people, in the early future.
There is no more bountifully blessed
community anywhere, than that In
the midst of which we live, If we can
only wake up to a proper appreci-
alton of it, and an earnest effort to
improve and develop what We do en-
joy. That time is coming now, and
near at hand.

How TO Succeed.

HOH ~ OULIsrS
If YOUR seat is hard to sit upon,
stand up. If a rock rises up before
you, roll it away or climb over it. 1t
takes longer to skin an elephant than
a mouse, but the skin is worth some
thing. II you want confidence, prove
yourself worthy of it. Do not be con-
tent with doing what another has
done-surpass it. Deserve success,
and it will come. The boy was not
born a man. The sun does not rise
like a rocket, or go down like a bullet
fired from q gun; slowly and surely it
makes its round and never tires. Ii is
as easy to be leader as wheel horse.
II the job be long, the pay will be
greater: if the labor Is hard, the more
competent you must be to do it.

For the love OF home again.

And OF faces cold and strange.

With an aching sense OF pain
But there'll b. JOY in the coming,
When 40 home again.

That will never die away,
And It seems ike hands OF angels
On mystic harp, AT play,
Have touched with yearning sadness
ON beautiful broken strain
To which my fond heart is wording
When 20 home again.
Outside OF my chamber window
i the great worlds crash and din,
And slowly the evening shadows
Come drifting. drifting IN.

To the IA n OF the April rain;
But dream of the glorious meeting.
When go home again.

A ToUsh Story.


The following yarn comes from Ha-
gerstown. You can believe it or rot,
just as you please Harry X Recher,
in order to test his swift cushion-tired
bicycle, proposed to scale the roof OF
the German Baptist Church now in
course Of erection. He placed a wide
plank on the caves of the roof and
commenced his perilous ascent. When
the roof was reached he found that he
had but the width Of foot between
the laps in which to ride. He reached
the top safely and began the descent
on the other side, which he accom-
plished without accident. The angle
of roof inclnes to forty-fye degrees,
and the distance covered was 100 feet.

Regulations for Camp-Supplies to BIO
Purchased on the Grounds.
The following general order has been
issued from the Office OF the quarter
masters department OF the State
troops, AZ Detroit:
1t is proposed by the brigade quarter
master to establish canteen similar to
those in operation in the United States
Army for each regiment while in camp,
At which cigars. tobacco, pipes, bottle
beer, ginger ale and soda water will be
for sale to the officers and men at cost
prices. No liquors will be supplied,
and it is earnestly hoped that the
troops will not take any into camp.
The canteens will be under the imme-
date charge of the brigade quarter
master and, as mentioned above, will
not be run for profit. but any balance
remaining over and above expenses
will be divided, pro rata, among the
different companies of the command.
Soldiers will not be permitted to take
bottled beer 10 their quarters without a
written order from their commanding
officer.
There will also be established in camp
n meat shop, bakery and grocery store.
at which all that is necessary for the
mess can be purchased at market price.
Meat can be procured for each meal
from refrigerator car on the grounds,
IN any quantities desired, so that it will
be fresh at all times. Milk, butter,
eggs, potatoes, garden products, and in
fact every article needed can be bought
IN camp, and at no profit over actual
market prices as quoted from day to
day. These stores will also be under
the immediate charge of the brigade
quartermaster, and will be managed
entirely by HIM. and 1t is hoped the
companies will not 60 to the extra ex-
pense of paying freight or express
charges on stores from home, that can
be bought as cheap and in such Quanti-
ties as is needed in camp. Tie brigade
quartermaster has gone to consider
able trouble to secure the above for the
troops, and believes that the company
qlartermaster sergeants will appreciate
them fully, and feels that he can safely
promise them just as good, if not bet
ter. service than ever before, and at
less expense to the companies. Ali
authorized store keepers will be sup
piled with duplicate receipt books and
will leave an invoice with each lot of
goods delivered, receiving receipt for
the goods in return, thus enabling
quartermasters to check all invoices
correctly. In case any overcharge oc-
ours for any goods on the grounds, re-
port it at once to brigade quartermas-
ter, ana it will be rectified Immediately.

the above can be obtained by address

ventures, and at one time II
looked as IL they were about 20 be
hemmed IN by the various sioughs
through which the water Is passing
from the Colorado river To the desert.
Mr.. Carter reports that the water leaves
the Colorado river ar a point miles
from FL Bio and flows through sew
eral channels from 10 feet
deep and from 80 10 90 feet wide.
IL flows westward along the sand
hills on the line OF the old overland
stage route through Alamo Mucho sta.
ton. The channels at this station join.
making a stream 100 yards wide or
more and having q current of
miles an hour and gaining. The river
here was too deep 20 get the depth. but
the old slough at this point was for
merly % feet deep. This is about
IS miles from the river
The party followed the stream Q
miles farther in the direction Of Indian
wells The water here all the way is
from onc-haH mile 70 miles wide and
from 2 to feet deep, having q velocity
OF miles an hour. The main channel
passes Cooks well. sevea wells. Gardi-
ner's station. Butte station. then on TO
Alamo Mucho. making distance of SO
miles from The Colorado river. This is
the point a. which it enters the desert
for >alton.
The old stage route. with the excep-
ton OF or miles. is all covered
with water. The only way TO reach
this point Ia over the sand hills and
mesa This proves concluSively that
the theory as 10 the source Of the
water in the first place was correct
and proves further that permanent
lake will not be established from the
present break. As soon as the Colorado
river falls few feet the source of sup
ply will be shut of and then it will
take but few days for evaporation
TO get in its work on the lake, even
should the whole of the Colorado river
make its way TO the DESERT which is
not at all probable, as the bed of the
river is much lower than the new river
channels or sloughs, which are dry. ex-
cept where there is an overflow from
the Colorado.
The Southern Pacific Company has
sent out party of engineers under the
command OF Assistant Engineer Swain
with instructions 10 make q careful ex-
animation and ascertain whether IL is
necessary to attempt TO check the flow
of water to the desert They do not
believe at present that the Colorado
river Is liable to change its channel.
but they want TO be on The safe side in
case 10 should become necessary to
throw the water back in the main
