and seemed. 30 TO say. to have learned

How this was done, 1 will briefly
state. In the first place my fellow emu.
merator. Mr.. Rice, paved my way to
success. He il was who through the
Knowledge of the precinct and the in
strumentality of his friends. made my
stay In that town very pleasant and
was the ways and means committee to
send me from one place TO another on
a complimentary ticket.
In the second place l must mention
the efficient postmaster, Mr.. Quinn,
and the gentlemanlv operator of the
Gable company. who were always
ready TO lend me their assistance. Hav-
ing done up Gallup. l went to Manuel
ito, a mail station on the santa he Pa
cihc, and is miles west from Gallup.
Here l had the pleasure of meeting
Mr.. TAR. the station agent, who re-
ceiyed ms very kindly. and bid me to
make myself at home. 1 did 50 and 1
felt myself taken back 10 the old coll
lege days, when 1 uscd e spend my
vacations in that beautiful garden vii
lage Of Ldttletown, Pa. After an ele-
giant dinner. | played for the company
an organ solo. which ELECTED applause.
After having spent, very pleasantly, an
hour in Mr.. Farr's office, l took the
train back to Gallup. which was dead
v time"
The next day at 5 A.. m. / left for
Clarkville. The mail driver had a
beautiful srsn OF bay horses, gentle,
but magnificent travellers. In less than
no timhe we were in Clarkville. l pre-
scented the credentials. which Mr.. Rice
had the kindness TO give, to the sup
erintendent, Mr.. Bretherton. In him
l found a gentleman in the full sense of
the word Easy OF access and accom-
modating, he made my stay In Clark
Vile very pleasant. At the foot Of hills,
rises the beautiful and picturesque lit
tie village OF Clarkville. called in honor
Of Senator Clark, OF Montana, who
owns these mines. The majority of
h houses are built of adobe, with
shinsle roofs. cool and comfortable in
summer n war in winter. Here are
roomed the many miners with their
families.
A beautiful ~two-story building is now
in course of erection. and il destined
for a hospital. In this camp coal 10
mined by electricity wherever pract-
cable. The electric plant and power en-
gtne are superb. In taking the census
l had the opportunity TO come in con-
tact with all the worlingmen at this
camp. From the first 20 the last I
head nothing but words OF praise in ia
Nor OF the management. At this camp
no distinction b. made between the dir
fereut nati0nalities. and merit. and
merit alone. IL the only rule to promo
