Col. G. VI. Thatcher, a promi nent
mining man from Denver, has spent q
week in our camp as the guest of Sup
rintendent 81. Church and says. 81 am
well pleased with your camp. You
have all the formation necessary for
making good mineral and plenty of It.
Your ground is astonishingly we'll mi
neralized On the surface, and your
leads and immense iron Gaping will
justify the expenditure of labor and
money in going down on them. What
you want is depth; go down and through
your iron cappings and in my opinion
you have the chances largely in your
favor for encountering large bodies of
very desirable ore.
''Whst surprises me most however,
is that Ell Paso people have not seen
is q growing city, Her business men |
understand are enterprising and pros
porous and amply able to prove this
camp to the point of attracting mining
capital, and by being interested they
could iD great manner control the
business
"Such thing is possible at this
stage of your camp as Colorado, St.
Louis, Chicago or Kansas city capital
is coming in, seeing the advantages,
taking them in and shipping the out
put to other points. The products of
this camp should be smelted n Ell Paso
if Ell Paso wants the full benefit, for it
is liable to mean, in few years, the
employment of several Thousand men.
But l suppose it ia the same old story.
Too near home to be believed or even
investigated by them
A. W. Clifford, manager of the Orion
Mining company, accompanied by A.
w. Susep, j. J. Bruck, H. M. Neill and
Charles Beisweinger, spent Friday and
Saturday in camp inspecting their
holdings and the camp in general.
They were jolly crowd, making the
best of all conditions. They were
very.positive.in their statements 'You
can't prove by US that this is dry
camp and no water, for we have seen
and felt more water in a shorter space
of time, than in any past experiences.
In going from camp to the junction 4,
distance of four miles, a heavy rain
storm kept their company, which end
ed with a severe hail storm and the
boys had to build a big fire to get warm
and partially dry their clothes. The
sayings of the crowd as they stood
around this fire will be of interest to
some of your readers.
A stranger who has been several
days in camp said: "dere are a dozen
passengers waiting for train, what's
the matter with the Ell Paso and North
eastern having a station building,
shed, box can, or any old thing here to
amuse it's patrons while waiting for it's
trains" While all hands were giving
expression to how many hours late the

Songs for the old and young;
Songs TO stir ike a battle cry
Wherever they are sung.
Not for the clashing of sabres.
For carnage nor for strife;
But songs TO thrill the hearts Of men
With more abundant life.
Let me make the songs for the weary.

Till hearts shall relax their tension,
And careworn brows forget
Let me sing for little children.
Before their footsteps stray.
Sweet anthems OF love and duty,

Music to soothe its sorrow,
