A Successful search for Health In Beaver
Valley.

Valley.
On the overland route from Custer to
Buffalo Gap, one PASSES this nnromantic
valley. Descending the steep hill the
valleys length il lifted easily into Wis
ion. Its western walls of variegated
marble, too scant.for commerce, thrusts
the valley from its feet which thence
measures the distance to the Mime
pajuta Springs. Its hatter parts are
green with tillage, while its uplands are
rich with nutritious grasses. Several
farms Of determined industry crowd the
ever places, gladdening the owners by
sure gains. The farms of Messrs. Par
sons, Dickover, Streeter, Scott, Reed and
Tunley stand for progress. Their situa-
tons and successful growths would
justify specific mention. The Tunley
ranch, recently improved by the cree
ton of Il new residence, strongly built
and well finished, invited and received
our baggage through it's generous doors.
Mesdames q. w. Reed and b. VI. Tun-
ley, Withdrawing to their town residen-
ces, left house and furnishings. horse
and harness to our convenience, and
these, increased by the kind loan Of
Judge Feay's easy phaeton, brimmed a
cup Of undiluted pleasure. The Tunley
and Reed ranches, well fenced and dis
posed, with a spring on them which,
once l am told. in the days Of its repair,
watercd 500 head of stock daily, will
well repay patient retention. The Min
nepajuta Spring a boundary and blessing
of Beaver Valley, a liquid materia
medica, is well able to bolster the re-
putation and secure the future Of that
whole region. Without a superior, ae-
cording to authoritative official analysis.
its medicinal qualities are manifest even
upon tardy irregular trial. Sicknesses,
~obstinately chronic, have been removed
by lis use. Its effect on the a!lment of
Mrs. Shingler were similar in character,
as % in appearance, and as perman-
eht in duration as were those Of the
Hot Springs. The virtues Of these
waters cannot safely be longer unheed;
ed or disused. The great middle class
Of American citizens, many Of whom
have gained wealth but lost health. will
be driven by physical necessities, accel-
Grated By local climates, to seek snch
Bethesdas of healing. Nature. in scoop
ing the path for the ample springs, left
the lay of the land, both valley and
table, in perfect position for a well
equipped sanitarium, livery barn, hotel,
and every associated expansion related
naturally to such a project. The all
ments of sixty two million people will
rescue these waters from oblivion and
promote them to activity. Some Col
umbus, medical or otherwise, will lead
the migration Of money and patients
this way. The auditory nerve, sanguine
with reason. catches, even now, the
movements of leading feet. Mr.. Schoon-
maker, intelligent and affable, 10 ! am
told the %presumptive owner Of 2S0 acres
of this choice property the prey 10
worth the grip. To Mrs. Booth for the
careful conveyance of Mrs. shingler 10
the Tunley ranch, and to MIR. and Mrs.
Tunley for their unmeasured kindness
es, together with the many warm friends
who s. seasonably contributed to our
comfort We tender our most grateful
appreciation.
