While visiting the little old time cross
roads town of jug Tavern, in middle
Georgia, few days ago, ! strolled out
into tho country near the village, and
while following a winding country road
through patches of woodland and fallow
land my attention was attracted to an
humble cabin that stood near the road,
with small field, apparently carefully
cultivated, surrounding it. In front Of
the cabin sat an aged darby weaving q
basket of white oak splints, while an an
oient ''auntie" sat beside him, doing in
the afternoon sunshine, and keeping her
withered fingers busy mechanically knit
ting pair of coarse wooden socks, such
as the country people wear in that section
during the winter.
In front of the cabin was u tall pole,
with number of martin gourds' at
tached to its branches, but the nests were
deserted, and the gourds swung idly in the
wind. There was Il well to one side, with
an old fashioned sweep and hand pole,
and big gourd attached to the latter, and
visions of other days came up before me

low gate and asked if might have drink

HAPPY!

His youthful years had withered in the slum
Where lie and his were bred.
He was burden, and, though lips were dumb,
Hearts wished that he were dead.
And 10 wished he; for in his weuried sonl
There WAS but one desire
To slip away, to reach Il strange vague goal
Where time would cease to tire.
But on u day some one with grave, sweet face
And tender, skillful hands
Came to his side and bore him from the place,
1t seemed, to faroff lands.
Yet, after all, twas but whirling hour
Out Of the smoke blind town
To where the sky shone with unblemished
power
Over fair, broad down.
And he, the cripple, whose sad springs were
more
Than one who watched him knew,
Had never seen so much green grass before
Nor skies so big and blue.
&c was so softly glad, so full of peace,
Ho laid him back and sighed
And watched the deep sky and its floating
fleece,
Dreaming that he had died.

Stratton, whom this same mine has made many times a million1ire, one day knocked off piece iron. this out cropping, had is assayed and obtained values running several hundred dol ars. He immediately stal1ed his claim ! while others ridieuled him for havingl taken up worthless tract. The mine is selling on the London market ats about $l4,0e00O0. And so the story might be heightened in. Cripple Creek.
 Here are some instances: An exchange recounts the fact that the Congress mine was considered a fraud when down 150 feet, but was bonanza at 800 feet and held at $3,0OOl 00O.
 The Fortuna at at 15o feet was. bought for $l4O,O0O, but at depth of. 600 feet it could not be bought for $, ,OOo, 900.
 The King of Arizona was sold for s3O, GOO when down 100 feet, while to- day it is held at sl ,oOO, 900 and only 5O0' feet deep.
 The Crowned King mine was little thought of by it's owners when it was down l65 feet and $23, GOO in debt. Now at depth of 800 feet, all it's debts paid and regular dividends being declared, it cannot be purchased for less than sl 900, ,OO0.
 The Pierce mine was sold for $275,- 900 when down 100 feet, was not con sidered of much value and to all ap- | pearance was closed down in 1881. It was first prospected for gold. It has sin ce yielded millions, and its shares would bring millions more if placed upon the market.
 The prospect of to-day which is mak- ing poor showing may be the pro- ducer of a million within few years. No one can tell. Calling of names is poor business anyway, and mine has been set back years because of the over confidence of those w6o pron ounced it worthless. While it is unsafe to make predictions when there is apparently nothing to predict about. yet there are many good mines in all sections of our country deser ving at least of the char ity of our silen ce. All credit to the prospector and m iner who will not give i up because of ridic ule or black sky.

The Charity of Silence.
fFrom the Denver Record. l

Mining is largely a matter of future conditions. That is to say, mining is an industry where there is larger per centage of possibility of future reward as the result Of faithful honest endeav- or in the present than almost any oth- CT business undertaking known to civ ilized man today. There is much of abuse and calumny heaped upon the mine operator and his proposition which is undeserved, and many a good mine is set down as fraud or worth less which has, when developed in fu- ture years, turned ont to be bonanza.
 There is that element about mining which makes it more or less lottery at all stages of the game, but mining operations in Colorado, and in fact throughout the well-established min ing camps of the west, are being re- duced to business principles with an increasing assurance of reward for in vestments put in them as in any other 1 line of business undertaking.
 How often have all of us heard such and such mines decried and branded as worthless properties or fraud which we now know as among the wealthiest properties in tue mining west. It is interesting to note a few examples close at hand, and in fact 1 the Cripple Creek district furnishes a budget of such instances. The his- l tory of this camp is of such recent date that the history of every one of its heavy producers is known to almost every man, woman and child in this city. Referring to worthless mines, of those at least of little value, one has but to recall that one of the lead ing mine owners of this city to-day not over six years ago sold the great Gold Coin claim for $l,200 because he thought that was great price at that time for 10 acres of ground located be- yond the supposed mineral belt of Cripple Creek. The mine is held al over SIG, ,Ooo, ,OOo to-day.
 The Gold King mine, the first ship per in Cripple Creek, was sold in its early stages of development at $8 ,000 It is now valued at sl ,000, 900.
 The great Elkton was offered few years ago for $25, ,0O0, and was not sole because the money was not forthcom ing. Later it was almost sold for $50, 600. To-day it is held by its owner at s1 ,s75,00O.
 5 The ledge of rock outcropping iron the surface of the what later becam the Independence mine was pounde
 by many prospector and many sam
 pie was knocked off to be assayed au
 to show up absolutely noyalue. ". s

Short on Silver.
lFrom the Tucson star,l

Advices from the east say that the next boom in mines will be in silver, that the supply is about exhausted, and.that consumption is far in excess of the production. Thus it seems that Arizona is to be again favored. Copper, our largest product, keeps firm at good prices, and hundreds of mines are being developed which will double the output during the very near future. Now, make demand for silver, and our mining industry will double, and the output of values likewise.
