Elder W, 5. Reborn rendered his res
ignation as pastor of the Christian
church at this place last Sunday. He
intends locating in the new country,
we understand. The church will at

Geo. Thorp, our blacksmith, has
struck it rich. For years he has been
sending money to his brother in Color
ado to defray his share in the expenses
in prospecting and sinking shafts for
the seductive silver, and their labor
and outlay has been at last rewarded.
Mr.. Thorp received word from his
brother the other day that he had struck
a lead of silver foot and a half thick
and which he estimates will "pan out"
from twelve to fifteen hundred dollars
per ton. Some of the ore was sent to
Mr.. Thorp here, piece of which he
brought to this office for our inspec.

j. l.. Troutman returned the first of
the week from the Usage country,
where he spent some ten uays in leas-
ing pasturage for W. II. Brooks, a
Texas cattleman, from near Corpus
Christi. They leased 5000 acres, and
Mr.. Brooks will at once send some
1900 cattle to occupy it. lie says he
has cattle upon his Texas ranch
which have not had a drink of water
for four months, depending solely upon
eating prickly pears to quench their
thirst. There is probably only one
country known to history or tradition
that is dryer than this.-Nep Era.
The fact that the Strip is full of cat
tie cannot be successfully disputed.
Train load after train load of Texas
cattle are being unloaded at Ponca,
Chill Occo, and other stations on the
Santa Fe, under the pretext that they
are to go on the leased reservations,
but for the ostensible purpose of being
grazed on the Strip. Theo Horsley has
600 head of fine steers on the line
which will be ready for shipment in
month or so, but his son Frank, who
has them in charge, entertains great
fears that the dread Texas fever will be
contracted among them from the new
arrivals from Texas, before they can
be shipped. The leasing of those res
ervationS to cattlemen was rank fool
ishness, or worse, as predicted at the
time, and asresults have clearly proven.
This utter disregard of the wishes, and
utter neglect of the interests Of the
people along the border will continue
until something yet will be done that
will be regretted by all parties concern
