Stateline, Utah, Nov 1S.-Your cor
respondent has just returned from a
prospecting trip through the lower sec
ton of Nevada and San Bernardino
county, California, on the route of the
railroad, and a few items from that
part may be of some interest to those
who anticipate going that way.
1 found great activity in the way of
prospecting for mineral along the route
mentioned, as the railroad will run
through one of the greatest mineral
regions in the west, consisting of cop
per, gold, silver and lead in great guam
titles, which, with the completion of
the railroad, will afford easy and
cheap transportation, and will make
that country one Of the richest in the
United States.
A. G. Campbell has from thirty to
forty men doing assessment work on
his valuable lead and silver claims
around the Good springs and Wander
bilt country.
The new mining camp of SearcElight,
which is fifty miles south of the Vegas
ranch and forty miles above The Nee
dies, on the Colorado river, is the max
ing of a good camp. They have some
very high-grade gold ore there, and a
sale of one of the claims is now on the
tapis for $I50.000, which, if consum-
mated, viii mean the erection of a
sixty-stamp mill on the river.
At present there are about thirty or
forty men chloriding in that vicinity,
but it is no place for q laboring man to
go who is hunting employment.
The White hills.in Arizona are closed
down for the time being. the cause be-
ing only known to the company. Tenn
pie Bar, forty miles ION the Nevada
side of the Colorado river) from
Bonneville's, is being worked for placer
gold, and gives employment to about
eighty men, including twenty Indians,
the wages paid being at the rate Of %
cents per hour.
While at the Vegas ranch a. party OF
prospectors arrived who claimed that
they had discovered and located about
three-fourths of a mile square, con-
tanning copper, or about twenty claims
in a group, within six miles of the
river, with an open canyon from the
claims to the water, and within easy
access by team, and situated about
four miles from the proposed railroad
now in course of construction. and
about twenty miles from the Vegas
ranch, Lincoln county, Nevada. The
copper is in iron blowouts, associated
with quartZite and conglomerate for
nation The party seemed highly
elated over their lucky find, the cop
per being in such large quantities. This
report is verified, as one of the lucky
Iocators is Mr.. Charles Ohlwiler OF
Mercur, who is now on his way there
with samples. 1 will say again that
this is a great field for prosDectors
The winter months is the best time to
work, there being no snow, and the
weather is warm.
Vegas ranch would be the objective
point to start for, feed being 1 cent
per pound. and provisions reasonable.
From this point you can prospect a
great deal Of rich mineral country

n s peace dawns the difficulties of our situation ~ in regard to Cuba multiply.
 This country must fall squarely back upon the Presidents original ground, upon which he de- sired the right of intervention to that stability of government in Cuba which Spain had failed to bring about.
 Let it be repeated, often, that the yellow journals wanted recognition of the Cuban insurgent govern ment, which the President declined to give
 The world Is in npossesson of evidence nc that the insurgents were a small lawless and dsorderly ee r1ent, which Spain in her decay and self-deception and corruption incapable of controlling Let 1t be understood that did not make war for these de- generates but in behalf of the civilized people of the island who suffering because Spain could no longer protect their personal and property rights
 Abundant testimony has been printed to prove that the first duty of the United States in Cuba will be to do what Spain failed to doprotect the people against the insurgents, and if necessary, wipe the latter off the face of the earth.
 Major General Young, who commanded the Sec ond Brigade in General Wheelers division, adds his that of Ftzhugh Lee and all other honest observers in Cuba. General Young is native of Pennsylvania and regular army officer. He says: "As far my personal observation goes the insur gents lot of degenerates, absolutely devoid of honor gratitude They more capable of sefgovernment than the savages of Africa. They are mixture of the negro, Spanish, Italian and Indian, and inherit only the bad qualities of each The United States cannot afford to turn Cuba over to them. They would loot everything in sight and then turn in and rob each other Most of the leaders of the so- called Cuban army adventurers ready to sacrifice everything and everybody to further their personal ends. It is my opinion that few of them would hesi- tate to sell out to the Spaniards if fully convinced that the United States will deliver the island over cbo hat hear and rich island to lot of degenerates, who not capable of sefgovernment."
 If we fighting for such gang is described by General Young and others, who met the insur- gents face to face and not in the yellow journals, Congressional speeches and pictorial magazines guilty of farce and folly The only justifca ton for the is that had protect the rights of against these very insurgents because Spain had failed in her duty.
