A GREAT CROWD WAITED FOR 1T

The Whole Idea Looked Upon By

Generous Feelings of Our Citi-

especially who contributed the bios

realize the warmth of the
greeting we received, and the pleasure
that the Coloradians derived from the
distribution of the flowers, 1 am sure
they would feel a glow of satisfaction,
and that the custom followed now for
two seasons would speedily become a
settled one with US.
"Over there they looked upon the
sending of this car as an act OF court

Gus feelings of our people. They look
upon Salt Lake as one of the most per-
feet home cities in America, and we do
not realize how many of our citizens
and how much of our wealth has come
from the Colorado mining camps. Many
of the business blocks and handsome
homes of Salt Lake were, so to speak,
dug from the mines over there. We
were received everywhere with open
arms, and l feel that the idea was a
most happy one. The chamber of COM

who originated the plan, then TO the
Rio Grande Western for furnishing us
with the car and finally to the people
for filing il with blossoms.

The Car at Leadyille.

The Leadville Herald Democrat of
Monday contains the following:
There were lilacs for everybody who
chose to come for them. The perfume
laden train from the beautiful Jordan
valley rolled into the depot promptly at
1920 yesterday afternoon. 1t was the
pretty little compliment the chamber
or commerce, the Rio Grande Western
railway and the Colorado Midland paid
to the citizens of LeadVille. There was
an immense crowd present when the
train arrived. The car was first side
tracked and Mr.. Senior and his party
took dinner before they commenced
to distribute. The throng was hungry
and thirsty for a blossom from the
blooming fields of Utah. Perched up
among the snow drifts and icebergs
it is seldom that fresh flowers from
natures own lap are seen here. Lii
iacs especially appeal to each person
who has lived in the east, where the
great tall bushes in the front yards of
the old home perfumed the air all about
the premises. 1t is one of the first
of the spring flowers to shed its fra
GRANGE, and is peculiarly a home bios
som, and the welcome it received yester-
day was a most genuine one. For al
most an hour the gentlemen in charge
were kept busy distributing the little
bouquets, and none of the ladies and
children present went away empty
handed.
The train left Salt Lake at 7:4O p. m.
Saturday night with its precious
freight load of flowers. These flowers
were gathered in a somewhat unusual
manner, and make the gift all the
more touching and sentimental. Dur
ing the week notices had been. sent to
the school children by the Salt Lake
chamber of commerce and the Rio
Grande Western road. that they should
gather all the lilacs they could find,
and bring them to the depot, with their
names attached to each bunch. They
were told that they were for the ladies
AMI little girls who lived away up on
top of the mountains, close to the blue
sky, but in a region where no flowers
grew. and where people lived the year
round and saw no trees or beautiful
green things. The little ones Of Utah S

to send little memento TO children of
the land of ice palaces and snowbanks,
seemed overjoyed and over 500 of them
were on hand at the depot, each with
immense bouquets of the fragrant bios

TBE SWANSEA MINE.
Renewed Activity in and Around the
Old Camp of Silver.

Old Camp of silver.
Encouraging reports continue to come
n from the Swansea, at Silver CITY
The Swansea shaft is now down 5ou
feet. from which level VIM has been
e,,,,l, for eighty feet, the bottom being
a large body of ore that averages
about 40 to so per cent lead and 100 ounc-
Is in silver in carload lots. The swan
sea is the first mine in the Silver CITY
country that has cut through the py
rites. and the body of ere disclosed
below the iron crust is sufficient in
size and quality to justify the belleI
and opinion that this mine is desuhed
to develop into one Of the greatest
mines in the district. The South Swan
seq shaft is distant only 10 feet from
The swansea workings. and at a depth
of $40 feet is going down on the Swan
sea vein. and. beyond all doubt. 1t will
catch the same grade and class OF ore
now found in the Swansea when 1t
has cut below the pyritic zone:
Silver City is now the scene of great
activity and a large number of old
and abandoned producers in that local
ity are now being re-opened ana oeNel-
oped. and there is an active demand
for undeveloped ground IN desirable 10
calities. In Dragon Hollow and in the
near vicinity of the old Dragon Iron
mine a good deal CT work is going on at
the present time, also in and around
the Sunbeam: and developments are
even in progress almost within a stones
throw Of the Silver City flag pole.
It is with great satisfaction that old
Tintic miners note this awakening in
and around the once almost deserted
camp of Silver City. and those who
were heartsick with long years of
waiting feel that at last there is some
thing worth living for; and of the few
Silverites Who have waited with pa
tience for years for this day to come,
none are more deserving that G. H.
Blanchard, the efficient and veteran
prospector of Tintic district; and to
him the noise of the blast as it is WALT
ed or the air into his office from every
direction IS sweeter than any music
he ever heard.
