IDYLLS
AND OTHER POEMS

Blinded by Il premature mining eX-
plosion. Alfred Castner King. of on
ray. Colorado. threw wide the doors
of the inner temple to receive the
flood of spiritual light that ever
awaits the poets soul. and the result
is a handsome little volume entitled
Mountain ldylls and Other Poems, ''
from the press of the Fleming H. Rev
ell Co. Chicago.
One does not have to read many
pages before realizing that Mr.. King IS
loss is the worlds gain, and finds
consolation for the seeming cruel ac-
cident in the singers own words
LAS the shifting sands OF the desert
Are born by the simOon's wrath,
And in wanton and complete confus-
ion.
Are strewn on its trackless path;
So our lives with resistless fury.
Insensibly and unknown.
With a resistless vacillation
BY the winds of fate are blown;
But an AllWise hand
May have changed the sand.
For purpose of His own
Scanning the pages of this new
book. we find the tenderness of a
Tom Moore. and the sublimity of a
Milton. All shades of the deeper
moods of feeling are expressed with
true poetic instinct and in perfect
measure. 1t is remarkable that the
work of one of such unripe years
should bear no impress of worldly
joys 1t is evident that his expert
ence as a miner has taught him that
the richest gems lie beneath the bios
som rock. In "Unknowable" his delv-
ing soul is manifest:
20, Sun, resplendent in the smiling
morn,
AS thou dost view the wastes of
earth and sky.
Canst thou behold the realms of the
unborn.
Canst thou behold the realms OF
those who die?
Where dwells the spirit eer its mortal
birth.
Fer yet 1t suffereth
The pain and sorrow incident to earth?
Where after death?
The sun gave answer with refulgent
glow:
Child of feeting hour. thou, too.

In his poem Grandeur" dedicated
to the San Juan mountains. Mr.. Kings
descriptive power is as gigantic as Its
subject, from which must suffer by
comparison the pens of many who
have attempted word pictures OF
mountain grandeur.
The book is beautifully illustrated
with mountain views. and would
make an ideal holiday gift for east
erners. In his preface the author

How Citizens in the Western Part of
the County Are Served.

On every hand one encounters fu
sion incompetency or neglect. not
only in state, but in county affairs.
Yesterday two responsible citi-
zens of the western portion of the
county. Thompson's Park. Messrs.
John Sponsel and Gus Gilbert, called
at The Herald office to express their
sentiments concerning the way the
commissioners have treated that sec
ton. In the first place the roads
have been entirely neglected and in
many places are impossible. Last
year the commissioners spent some
thing like 1925 in constructing a road
over Mancos hill. So far so good,
but after investing this large sum
they neglect to make it available.
The melting SHOWS last spring. wash
ed out and made quarter of mile
impossible. Not lick of work has
been done during the year to repair
the damage. and this is fair sample
of the way other roads in that section
have been treated by the commission
ers and those in power. it being the
next thing to impossible to haul a
threshing machine any distance.
Both Mr.. Sponsel and Mr.. Gilbert
have been lifelong Democrats, but
they say it is time to call halt and
elect men who will attend to business
and work for the interests of the
county, and this is what they are go
ing to do henceforth. No more pull
ing the wool over their eyes by push
ing silver into the fight Home pres
ervation and home interests demand
the election of men who will not
squander the taxpayers money on a
personal organ.

the roads of Thompson's Park dis

that would tell the tale. Which ever
turned first would have a wonderful
advantage. Every effort was made
to reach this fateful spot in advance
and the tacking to get the exact angle
was superb and set all yachtmen wild
with delight. The Shamrock, how
ever, had it. She turned beautifully
at 1926 and 30 seconds. A little more
than half minute later the Columbia
went around the point and the two
vessels made a glorious start for the
home line. Thus far 1t has been the
greatest yacht race ever seen. and
now the contest is more exciting than
ever. There is plenty of time to
make the finish within the time limit
The run home is intensely exciting
and it is a magnificent display of sea-
manship.
Half an hour after the turn the Col
umbia caught up with her rival The
struggle was close and bitter. Inch
by inch the American forged ahead,
cutting through the water at ire
mendous speed. At o'clock she
passed her antagonist length and
this was. maintained for nearly an
hour Then another length was
added. and another. The light ship
loomed up in the distance. six miles
away. Home was in sight. Capt.
Sycamore. of the Shamrock. changed
his tactics. altered his sails. The
Shamrock responded beautifully and
caught up to the Columbia. They
ran together for ten minutes like two
great white-winged birds. Captain
Barr. however. had something in re
serve. He altered his mule sail and
the Columbia took the lead by a full
length and home was only two miles
distant. In this way they ran to
within a mile OF the finishing line.
Inch by inch the Shamrock again
pulled up to her rival. but she could
not quite catch her. Both yachts
were sailing finely and We're handled
superbly. The finish was magnifi-
cent 1t seemed impossible for the
Columbia to lose. Half a mile from
home the Columbia is still in the lead.
The Shamrock is right on her. The
most intense excitement prevails
among the watching thousands. II
is a glorious race-the finest ever wit
messed in American waters.

only emolument to be expected is the
qualification of an Inherent and inde.
Unable impulse. which impels one to

ultimate result be affiuehce or a dun

full commentary on that class of liter
ary work which is considered the
highest form Of art and conceded to
be the breath of the gods But
we predict for Mr.. Kings work. which
he so hodestly presents, a better fate
than that of the puny poet. for his is

THE RICO DISTRICT.
Mining Business in Dolores County
Beginning to Look Up.

RICO, Colo, Sept. 27. 1901
The ordinary observer at first see
ing Rico might presume the camp in.
active, but closer investigation will
prove the contrary.
The vast body of low-grade zinc,
lead and iron ores OF the Atlantic Ca
Bile mine is being treated successfully
by the means of magnetic separators.
The lead is first taken out by concen-
tration. stamps and Wilfely tables be-
ing employed. The zinc and iron

ID. Swickhimer is again operating
extensively at Rico. having the Well
ington group of 100 acres. Much
comprehensive work is being perform
ed here for the recovery of greater
qualities of ore. The product is ship
ped to Durango.
1t is understood that the Rico AS
pen, Enterprise and Newman groups
of mines have been consolidated into
one group. Such a oonsummation
will constitute one of the greatest
mining enterprises in the west. and
will better enable the owners to op-
crate at the minimum expense, and
under the new plan there will be
largely increased production at Rico
There is some prospecting going on
in different parts of the. district, and
there is promise OF nelS areas being
Jed to !. .prodection. ssra ffse.- Familiar
with Dolores county, it appears that
the section has not been half pros
pected. 1t seems that everybody has
not gone out far enough to miss their
dinner when prospecting. Sizing the
camp up. one must say that there is
much promise of it doing better than
it has done for a long time. The
town has some empty buildings. but
these may be filled up at any time.
The Pro Patria people are building
"A mill in town and tramway of a
half a mile to carry the ore down.
This enterprise is soon to assist in
increasing the production of the dis.
trict.
No mining district was hit harder
by the decentralization of silver. but
some of the properties with gold as a
by-product have been able to continue
production. Since it has proven diff
ticult to smelt at Rico, the district is
confronted with the necessity of mill
ing its low grade ores, and 1t Is likely
that the consolidation of the three
largest groups of mines win result in
the largest practical concentrating
enterprise in the San Juan country,
as each group possesses vast areas of
mill product, as well as shipping ore.
Mine investing capital is learning
that Rico is an inviting field for those
who can provide for the recovery of
the values in the lowgrade or mill
ing ores. and an Increased production
is thus assured Further prospect
ing may result in added discovery of
properties which may be mined at a
profit. since there is progress of
economy in milling

The breaking-in of the driving
horses, however. is not considered by
the occupants of the top rail of the
fence as the most entertaining of the
performances in the corral. They pre-
fer the spectacle of a bucking mustang
being trained to the saddle Mr.. Lewis
has added somewhat to the merit Of
the performance by soliciting the Ser
vices of volunteer broncho riders. Re-
Gently a big, burly negro applied at

Can you ride?" he was asked.

fence from one to another of the men
who were seated on the top board OF
it. The negro was told to get ready
for business Fun was anticipated
The negro stood grinning confidently
While the men on the fence nudged
each other. and a wiry little brown
broncho was driven into the corral
There was a singing sound in the all
as the rope swirled over Mr.. Deselles
head. and the loop fell over the mus
tang's head. Then there was a tug
of-war. The forefeet of the bronche
pointed out before him. and he became
as rigid as iron, looking like two sticks
followed suit, but less aggressiveIy
ready for a vigorous kick toward any
rear interference. The slack rope was
drawn in, and there was a lively
scrimmage. Another lasso was thrown
about one foot of the pony, passed
under and over his body, and a quicE
jerk threw the captive off his feet. The
men advanced and began the process

Meanwhile the proprietors were dis
cussing the advisability of Harvesting
Satan" to a breaking cart. Satan is
vicious dark sorrel that has insp;- ed
his owners and all the men about the
corral V It'll a wholesome respect for his
inGiVid aality. He was lassoed with
great d:l'iculty in the wilds of a Ne
vada pasture, and driven through a
chute into a car with other horses for
shipment to San Francisco, causing a
lot of trouble en- route by his ugly hab-
it of biting and kicking. He was trans
ferred to a sailing vessel and started
on his journey to Hawaii, and right
there was where the trouble began.
Each horse was assigned a stall, and
Satan" was placed in one as far re-
moved as possible from the rest. The
first time the keeper made an attempt
to feed him the animal bit one of his
fingers nearly off and savagely grab
bling for his shoulder, tore his shirt to
tatters After this his oats were pass
ed up to him by means of long board
and every one was warned to stay away
from his stall. Upon landing the vicious
animal was taken in charge by Mr.
Lewis, and the process of breaking
him began. 1t is still going on, and
from present indications will continue
for some time to come. He has been
repeatedly hitched In the breaking ap-
paratus and driven until exhausted
but is always ready for trouble wher
taken out, and his keepers are COMPEL
ed to muZzle him before Harvesting the
feat of muZzling him being accomplish
ed by the throwing of a lasso loop over
his nose. One day last week Mr.. De
Selle was indiscreet enough to pass toe
closely in front of Satan" and his coat
was Immediately grabbed in the teeth
of the animal, which endeavored tc
throw him under his feet and stamI
upon him. The prompt assistance OF
Mr.. Lewis saved him from death. Mr.
