A RICH FIELD.

Doc Milligan returned last nigh
, from trip to the Rio Hondo coun
try, in Taos county, where he anC
Gardner Lay are interested in som,
mining ventures. The doctor il
feeling in first.class spirits over his
trip, and thinks he has struck it very
rich. The camp is on the Rio Hon
do, eight miles west of Elizabeth
town, just off the Maxwell grant and
almost on the summit of the range.
There are so Colorado prospectors
in the camp and six from this terri
tory. The mineral extends for miles
in every direction, one lead being
traced FIVE miles. There are gold,
silver, copper, galena and iron in the
camp, and all of the richest character.
The Las Vegas delegation, so far,
have located five leads and four
placer claims, and altogether there
have been over 100 locations made.
OF all their claims, so far they have
had assays on only one, the Little
Fleece, which gave IL ounces of
gold and go ounces of silver. This
vein is 10 feet wide, and where the
ore is taken ont is at the base of the
mountain, which rises perpendicu-
larly 5000 feet, and the vein can be
seen on the face the entire distance.
The assay was from surface rock.
This alone would seem like bo-
nanza. The Colorado prospectors
all say that Creede and Cripple creek
cannot begin 70 compare with this
camp in richness. AS soon as it is
heard of on the outside there will
likely be big rush to the camp.
The Frazer properties in the same
district, which have been partly de-
veloped, have been bonded for $780,
600.
In addition to the above, the Las
Vegas parties have located town
site, and there are now 10 houses in
course of construction.
The above camp is the same place
where Col. Preston, Chas. Shirk and
others located claims last year.

A RURAL THANKSGIVING.

"The past rises before me like q
dream" as Pob Ingersoll said. We are
back in the good old times before the
war, in the middle section of the Wa
bash valley. The glorious, mellow, yell
low, late autumnal days have come. In
dian summer is past, it is true, but it's
aroma still fingers on the brown mead
ows and in the gloriously varicolored
woods. At least one year in three we
have slate springs and late falls" as the
farmers say, and this is one of the years.
The frost is on the pumpkin, but lightly
as yet, and the fodder is in the shock,
though the cattle still browse little
and are fattening in the stalk fields. from
which the yellow corn has just been
gathered.
"This is the time of year when every
thing tastes good" the boys say. This
is the season when the. game is at its
BEST" say the hunters. Sand this is the
season when our bones hurt us the least"
the old folks say. The milk is cool and
rich. All the vegetables are at their
best, perfectly ripe, but not yet withered

Thanksgiving in India.

The native servants of India are said
to be courteous in the extreme, and when
they learn of any particular festival
which their masters desire to observe
they always make it point to offer
their congratulations, accompanied by
presents of flowers, fruits and sweets
tastefully arranged in fantastic baskets.
They know all about Christmas and
New Year, but it was the United States
consul at Calcutta who first enlightened
them regarding Thanksgiving. There
after the diplomat and his successors as
well have been appropriately honored

Thanksgiving Gives Joy and Comfort


Some beautiful thoughts regarding
Thanksgiving are embodied in the fol-
lowing paragraph published by Harpers
Bazaar some time ago: when the heart
is sorest, grief the bitterest, loss the
most extreme, the giving of thanks brings
relief to the spirit like that of rain to
the thirsty earth. To give thanks to
heaven that we have had the lost to
love, that they are ours, since we love
them still and we cannot love what is
not; to give thanks that they ever ex-
listed, that we knew them and had to do
with them, that we had pride and JOY in
them-to do this is to put ourselves into
such close connection and conversation
with the all giving power as to receive a
new joy almost as precious as the old.
1t is like the breaking of sacramental
bread still with the beloved; it is shar-
ing with heaven still their possession.
1t is lifting the whole being to the spir-
itual plane where the beloved are. 1t is
without meaning it, without knowing
it, saying THY will be DONE 1t is en-
tering into the close intimacy of that
power dark with excessive brightness.
1t makes heavenly joys real, and all but
renews and revivifies the earthly"

nable, so that the ladies laughed until
they cried. And the musician fairly
surpassed himself in singing that touch
ing ballad of his own composition,
"When Mary to the Dentist Goes, !"
which is now of world wide celebrity;
and the professor discoursed so admira-
bly, of the foibles and idiosyncrasies of
the second Ramesis that he was voted
the most interesting speaker who ever
enlivened Thanksgiving party; and
the editor of The Gazette recited his
famous article with unusual fervor, so
that some of the ladies wept again.
The dinner lasted two hours, and
when it was over there was heard a
ring at the doorbell, and who should
have done the ringing but the foreman
of The Gazette, whose doom had been
pronounced. He had come to call the
editor away on important business, and
it was quite affecting to see that able
man embrace his subordinate and say:
"Your wages are raised two dollars a
week. By one of your plumbers you
caused Mr.. Wardwells dinner to be a
misft, but there never was nobler
dinner than have had today"
