The Grapevine Swing.

Jus, hack of the school house, pace or two.
Close down by a bubbling spring.
Their, hung from the boughs of birch tree
that grew
Near the brook this glorious swing
Twas there that we swung when the days were
When the breszes were soft and low;
II was the re we swung in the summer air
In the days Of long ago.
When the recess came how we'd laugh with gee
And many song would we sing:
And madly we'd race to the old birch tree
And Chamber up into the swing.
And gently we d swir when the days were tair
When the breezes were soft and low;
Ave, gently we'd swing in the summer air
In the days of long ago.
Rut never again, in the years to come.
Will stand by that sparkling spring;
And never again will those songs be sung
The songs that we used to sing
But. oh, how I'd love, when the day vas fair'
And the breezes were soft and low,
To swing once more in the summer air
With the friends that l used to know.

Eyan range of mountains, near the

The mines of this district were,

~ From the surface indications and

this district It is the Judgment of many
thatthere are two ore veins that are
separated by Robinson canyon. The
vein on the north side CT the canyon
contains ore that is valuable largely
In silver, lead and very little gold,
while the vein on the south side OF
ths canyon contains ore that is valua-
Die largely in gold and very little

IN each instance as the mines that are
situated next to the canyon on the
north side are, some of them, very
SIMILAR to those on the south side Of
We canyon This is especially true
Of the mines located east Of the Great
Western, while those lying further to
tbs north and higher ON the mountain
