n q

by geologIst and mining expert OF
worldwide reputation. Professor Ben
jamin Silliman. who spent several
months there, then being connected
with the United States surveying corps,
and in his official report says;
Here are countless millions OF tons
of rich gold quartz reduced by the
great forces OF nature to "A condition
ready for the application OF the hydraul-
ic process. while the entire bed OF the
Rio Grande for over forty miles Is a
sluice, on the bars OF which the gold
derived from the wearing away OF the
gravel banks has been accumulatlng
for countless ages, and now lies ready
for extraction by the most approved
methods Of river mining. The thick
ness Of the Rio Grande gold gravel ex-
ceeds in many places 900 feet, or nearly
three times that OF the like beds In
California. while the average value per
cubic yard Is believed to be greater
in the New Mexico beds than in any
other such accumulations yet dlscoY-
cred.
II have made a reconnaissance Of the
whole Of this gravel along the
Rio Grande and have examined with
all the care possible In the time at my
command the character OF the gravel
and its contents Of gold. Nothing,
am persuaded. since the discov-
cry OF California and Australia Is com
parable for It's immeasurable resources
Of gold available by the hydraulic pro-
cess to the deep placers Of the Rio
Grande."
Other reports from eminent mining
experts Of national reputation pro-
nounce the property OF this company

THE SUNDAY LESSON.


let him rejoice who hath employ
ment aud family and a home: who
spendeth his wages with care who
loveth his wife and children and max
eth his abiding place like unto heaven.
Let him rejoice thrice over II he hath
no thirst for office. no lust for power
and knoweth not the evil yclept politics,
which is an abomination in the sight
Of the Lord He is. indeed belessed II
he wot not Of the strife which gceth
on at Salem. where the sons of men
oms deep in inquity which passeth all
understanding, and availeth not for any
righteous purposes, Whosoever know
eth not the guys who are making merry
at the councils of the state who hath
the wisdom Of serpents. who toll not,
neither do they spin-verily is he
lucky dub, for they have cards up
their sleeves and guile is in their hearts,
and their steps take hold on hades.
Happy only is he who hath so pull,
but voted at his own expense, His
sleep will be sound and his waking
moments full Of peace, anu his credit
at the market place without limit He
will be able to look his wife in the
face even in the daylight, and the well
coming smile of little children will give
him JOY when he goeth to his abode
as the evening faneth. Election
whisky and campaign cigars viii not
make him smell like a consolidated
tannery and glue factory, and his wife
will not beseech her Father which art
in hesven that the next time her liege
lord shall come home on shutter he
may be dead, instead Of only dead
drunk.
And so I say unto all men; Keep
out Of Dclitcs, repress all desire for
Office. avoid acrimonious argument
about those who lust for office. Tear
not your hair nor miss your meals nor
quarrel with your man servant or
your maid servant. nor bet your money
nor your horse nor your goat nor your
ass IN wicked contention with your
neighbors. Save your ducats to make
beautiful your home. enoble your lit
tie children pay your bills and mind
your business; for that is the straight
and narrow path to peace and joy.
Only the politician lamenteth his lot,
reproacheth himself for living and in
quiretE why he was born. Bit no man
maketh reply, for no man knoweth the
riddle thereof.
