COVER THE RANGE.n
Origin of One of the Commonest Elk
pressiOns That Is Used in the
Great West.

lover the range" has become an ac-
cepted synonym for death throughout
the west. In fact, it is now familiarly
understood as meaning death in almost
every part of the United States, but
there are few indeed who know the sad
origin of the expression. The few sur
viving early pioneers of Colorado the
men who endured the mountain hard
ships of california gulch days" of $50
and '60-know why lover the range"
has come to mean death. They know
when it was death in reality.
According to these old-timers in the
mountains the expression originated
soon after Bakers expedition into the
southwestern part of Colorado, nearly
40 years ago. At that time gold excite
ment was rife in Colorado. The unex-
plored regions of the Rocky mountains
only added to the miners dreams, and
every report of new "strikes" became
exaggerated many fold. The finding
of single nugget frequently caused a
stampede of prospectors.
During these fevered and visionary
times it became whispered throughout
the mining camps of the eastern slope
of the mountains that cover the range"
were stored away fabulous fortunes OF
virgin gold. No one knew the exact
spot where these strong boxes of ma
ture were stored, but the keys by which
they were to be opened each miner con.
fdently believed to be in his own pos
session. The whisperings multiplied
and every word from the new Ell Dorado
famed the minds of the eager fortune
hunters.
An exodus began. Whole caravans
were soon trailing through the noun
tain passes toward the west. In their
eagerness men travelled night and day.
each following his own reckoning will
o'-the-wisp that his dreams had told
him would lead to the treasured ore.
The paths became widely separated.
Few were prepared to weather the
mountain hardships of the new coun-
try, but still they journeyed on. Hun
ger at last overlook many, and these
turned about, in hope of again reaching
the camps of the eastern slope. The
way was long and hard, for many had
lost their bearings. These became an
easy prey to hunger and the relentless
Ute. The suffering which ensued is
one of the distressing pages in the his
tory of the Rocky mountains, Thou
sands Of prospectors passed ''over the
range" never to return. A few, enact
ated, came back, but the majority of the
eager searchers for gold had disap.
peared forever.
Thus was brought to sad close one
of the largest movements of prospec-
tors ever known in Colorado, and thus
the expression cover the range has
come to mean death. Chicago Times.

Where far away the two long tracks
Seem running into one,
watch, and watch for fathers train,
At setting Of the sun.
i seem giant as stand.
My shadow at my side;
The engine just a tiny dot,
Upon the prairie wide.
But, oh, 1T grows. and grows, and grows
Into monster high,
Flying silver banner out, 5E
Against the eastern sky.
My father tits the engine drives.
He looks out sharp for me,
And whistles by the willow trees,
To let me know it's he.
He takes me on the engine tall.
M ride while it goes slow,
Backing about from track to track
Taking on freight, you know.
I love my father very much,

never mind that he is black,
And leaves the black on me-
When I go home my mother dear
speak$ soft and sweet tome,
And kisses mel wonder why
Just where the black spots be-.
