Rio Arriba Mines.


7. G. Erb, writing to the Las Vegas OPP
tic from the new mining district of Hope
we'll, Rio Arriba county, says.
Hopewell is situated twenty two. miles
northwest of Tres Piedras. Tres Piedras
is ninety-six miles north of Santa Fe, on
the Denver q Rio Grande railway. There
is good wagon road from Tres Piedras.
There has been placer mining going on
here for several years, but the placer
groond is most all worked out and the
miners have turned their attention to
lode mining and are making some fine
showings. The mineral belt is about ten
miles long by i've miles wide, and is on
government land. There are about $50
miners working and prospecting in the
camp. We have one hotel, two general
stores, one butcher shop, one barber
shop and one assay office and a number
of new buildings are being constructed,
making in all over twenty five buildings
In the town.
The ore bodies are continuous and 60
nearly straight down. A few Of them
have pinched out in length, but not one
has run out in depth. The rich gold is
found in iron ores and all the ores in the
camp carry good per cent in iron.
Through the kindness of E. @. Sterling,
the asssyer at this place, We give you a
list of his assays made last Thursday and
taken from his books. Az he can not fur.

Immense Fortunes In Trees.


The timber wealth of the United States
gives yearly product Of over billion dol
lars, or twice the value of the entire ousput
of all the mines put together-gold, silver,
coal, iron, copper, zinc, and the rest. This
is resource worth keeping, and yet We are
cutting into our capital at the fearful rats
of 70 per cent. each year, as only about %
per cent. of the timber marketed is repre-
scented by new growth. As for losses from
the fires that are started by locomotives,
cattlemen, berry piekers, hunters, and in
cendiaries, it gives q sufficient idea of what
they cost US to be told by the Forestry Com
missioner of Pennsylvania that his State
alone probably suffers to the extent OK
$50, 600, 600 annually from this one cause.
Not only the trees are lost in these mighty
conhagrations; the vegetable mold which
would supply fertility to the soil for future
agricultural purposes or food for the roots OK
a second growth of forest is burned, and the
first step is taken on that easy descent to
landslide or flood bed.

Some Things She Did in the Service of the
Union under Brave Commanders.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your
Issue of Juue 10 / read from the pen OF
Shipmate William Simmons the doings OF
the West India squadron, among which the
Connecticut is mentioned. l have gentle
remembrances of the old Connecticut, and
hope that they may be noticed by some of
the crew. / will say that from Jan. l to
June 10, 1868, while cruising III The Car
ibbean Sea, under command of that able,
kind, and gentlemanly commander, George
III. Cooper, the ship WAS never at Anchor,
except when coaling ship.
From Aug. 10, 1863, TO Oct. 6, 1864, while
in command of that most vigiIant and eff
Gent officer, Commander john j. Amy, the
Connecticut, perhaps. covered more distance
than any other ship in the feet.
/ herewith inclose a few items Of what the
vessel deserves credit for, being the sole
captor of the following: 80 bales of cotton.

as we did not dare to travel by day. We
took nap in grove of oak sapliDgs. That
night we travelled about 10 miles above
Americus, and the next went to a slave
cabin near The railroad for rations. We were
informed that several train-loads of Yankee
prisoners had passed there going toward
Albany the day before, and that 1t was
believed the Yankees were at or near Macon.
After some consultation one of the darkies
said if we would stay about there a few days
he would try 10 get the news. He told us
to go back of the plantation, about quarter
of mile, and hide in big swamp. That
night the darkies told us the Yanks were at
OF near Macon. For three or four nights
thereafter they came with news of the same
nature, and that the Yankees had been as
far as 0.lethorpe which was about Is or 90
miles below Apdersonville. This was good
news, but we doubted its truth, as the
daTkies were ignorant, and, as we thought,
had probably misunderstood the talk Of the
family who owned them.
We babe them good-by, and set off with
their best wishes Tor our safety. AT Ogle-
thorpe we should have liked to stop over to
find any of our men, but were afraid of re-
capture if no Union men were there. The
second morning after leaving the darkies we
came to Flint River just before daybreak.
There we held a counsel to decide whether
we would cross at once or wait until the
next evening. Our conclusion was to cross
Immediately and remain in the woods on
The other side during the day. The bridge
appeared like long trestle with board in
the middle.
We were stopped on the other side of the
bridge by colored man. Knowing that
such served as soldiers in the Union army,
] called back TO my comrades, THANK God,
boys, we are all right now!" The darby
said, Maybe yo' is," and called for the

appointed, and my joy iurned into sorrow,
