EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The interest
you have taken in building up the Sons of
Veterans Order has created in me q love for
your paper, and / think that no member
of the Order should be without it. The in
teresting and encouraging articles which are
printed each week from brothers, though far
away, quicken the heart-beats and stir up
feeling of patriotism which means work for the
noble Order of which we are enjoying the
privilege of being members.
1t is with great longing that / look forward
to each issue of your paper as it brings to me
many new ideas of the way in which Camps
are managed in other places, and has q magical
way of causing one to get down to work"
i am believer in longer term of office than
one year 1t would be to the interest of the
organization to have officers elected for a term
of two years. and thus do away with the annual
electioneering and scramble for Office. No
officer can learn perfectly his portion of the
work in less than a year.
do not believe in changing the name of our
noble Order. | do not think that we should
ask for the bestowal of name like that of the
Junior GAR" We have done nothing to
earn that title. The name we now hold cannot
be bettered. Let Us work to raise that name

members may well feel proud of the Order,

"Reminiscences of the Last Survivor of
Bunker Hill-One Drummer Boy Who
Recalls Another.
The article on Bunker Hill, which appeared
some time since, and which called forth addi-
tional correspondence from friend in Massa-
chusetts, has been the means of bringing to
light an interesting bit of personal reminls-
cence. At the same time it serves as reminder
of the fact that one year crowds upon another
very fast, and that the day is not far distant
when the little boys of the Goth century will
stand and gaze with wondering eyes upon the
heroes of the 10Th century just as the boys of
the 10th stood to see the honored remnants of
the 18th century passing by.
We should all make the most Of our vet
Grams while they are with us, and treasure all
Blessings brighten as they take their flight"
and not till the survivors of great battles, who
are passing away in ever-increasing numbers,
have answered to the last roll.call, will all the
splendor of their great achievements be re-
fected back upon wondering world.
The letter to which we refer was written by
Comrade George N Hill, Drummer Boy at
Antietam and Gettysburg" addressed to Mrs.
Sara E. Cain, East Weymouth, Mass, and is as
follows:
"Your sketch of the hight of Bunker Hill

in 1899. He was Chairman of the Senate Com.
mittee on Pensions for six years, and one OF
the authors of the Disability Act of June "a.
1890.
He easily takes front rank among the Sen.
atofs, and his ability in various lines of state
craft caused him to be prominently discussed
for the honor of the Republican nomination for
President last year. He took firm stand in
support of President Clevelands course in send
ing the troops to Chicago, and is always found
on the highest ground in everything that looks
toward patriotism and the assertion of the Ma.
tional dignity or the maintenance of our insti-
buttons. He has recently won much praise by
his mastery management of the Arbitration
Treaty. He is second on the Committee on
Foreign Relations, Chairman of the Committee
on Territories and member of those on Judi
ciary, Pacific Railroads, and the five Civilized
Tribes of Indians.

Where is He?
The Russian Count Suddenly Diasppsrs.

Two weeks ago The BLACK RANGE
spoke Of a stranger who had appeared
in our camp. and who had 'Deen seen at
different tunes in earnest conversation
with two Of our prominent miners, but
all efforts thus far have failed to dis
coyer his identity: further than that
he is a Russian, "a man of rank. The
two gentlemen seen in company of the
mysterious man are very reticient re-
gardlng the whole affair and claims to
know nothing of the RUSSIANS present
whereabouts. THE BLACK RANGE,
however, has learned from a reliable
source that a foreigner is here to in
vestigate the truthfulness OF certain
old church records wherein 1t ia aver.
red that the Spaniards worked a fabuI-
ously rich mine somewhere in the
Black Range not far from Chloride,
and that vast sums Of both gold and
silver were shil ped to Spain from the
property. The most important part of
the whole #ifair is that a large amount
of very rich ore is said to have been
put into leather sacks and stored in the
rcesses of the mine for safe keeping
until the 1eturn Of the Spaniards from
Old Mexico, hut that during their alb
senCe on the trip the Indians and slaves
rebelled and they were never again
able to return TO the mine.
Speculation is rife among those on
the inside as to the location of the won-
derful mine which for so many years
has been lost sight of and yet all the
time within easy reach 0f this city.
