VETERANS PASSING AWAY.

The death of X. r. Marsh at the
Confederate Home, being the four
teenth that has occurred there dur
ing the short period of the insti-
tution's existence, shows that the
home was not established too soon
Any one can find place 10 die if
it be only under the friendly shell
ter OF a trees foliage. on the sunny
wayside, or in a hovel, alone aud
friendless; but nobls people kind
ly prepared horae where the de.
serving survivors of the lost cause
could die surrounded by comforts
and friends, being tenderly nursed
during illness aud mourned in
death, seeing TO il, too, that their
bodies find a more fitting resting
place than the potter's field"
Some years ago when Gen. Cor
don was candidate for the senate
he answered the charges that the
ex .Confoderates were monopoliz-
ing the offices with a pathetic as
surauce that sue h complaints
could not long be heard, AS there
would then be no ox.Confederates
to bar tue way and yex the ambi.
ton of the younger and aspiring
elements who seek promotion thr-
ough the thorny paths of politics.
a still more suggestive incident
occurred in Virginia long after the
war There was found wandering
aimlessly about the streets of
Richmond decrepit and dement,
cd man. Some one was attracted
by his U IN o W HI at bent but
soIdierly figure He was taken
TO the office of the late DR. Nc
CURE who was Stonewall Jack
sons surgeon. That famous and
truly scientific physician soon dis
covered that part of the poor fell
lows skull was pressing upon his
brain. He realized at once the
nature of the suffers malady and
lifted that part Of the skull, re-
storing the brain at once TO it's
normal action. The relieved pa
tient looked around in bewilder.
ment for several minutes and then
said, The army was at Manassas
yesterday; where is it today 2"
a fragment of shell had struck
this now old veteran at the second
battle Of Manassas and his brain
had ceased for that moment to
perform its natural functions Not
wishing that he should be taken
10 IA charitable institution his
friends, though poor, had cared
for him; but he had escaped their
yiligance and wandered to Rich
mond.
1t may we'll be asked, Where is
the army today wis ere are those
who so bravely and swiftly follow
ed Lee and jackson anG Johnston
and Forrest and Morgan? How
many survive and how many are
sleeping In their silent tents upon
flames eternal camping groundY"

People who have taken note Of
the old saying that "blood is thick

for believing, if they take note of

TIMING COLUHN.

It is reported that company Is
arranging to get control of several
properties skirting the north east
slopes of Treasury mountain un-
derlying the Eureka group and on
line with the same contact. The
minerals found in these properties
are nigh grade galena and copper
ores carrying we'll in silver values.
The ores will either be packed or
hauled to Crested Butte or possibly
to Marble for shipment.as We are
informed that a lower rate is offer
ed by that route although it is a
longer haul than that via Crested
Butte. This road being broad
guage will do away with the trans
fer of ore from narrow guage cars
- in the case with our ores hauled
over Marshal pass and is then
shovelled into wheelbarrows and
transferred into broad guage cars.
We are assured that the money
has been raised for the mill pro-
position at Gothic and that it will
hot be great while until dirt is
flying ON the foundations OF same.
It il understood that the parties
s,ropose to utilize the water power
TO be had from the main Gothic
stream and a complete concentra-
ton plant is to be built and equip
ped with the latest improved tables
as also the most modern crushing
and pulverizing machinery. The
building of this plant should give
new vitality to the mines surround
the town and vicinity. 1t will also
accommodate the mines in Rust Ter
gulch, Elko, Schofield, Galena
mountain, Crystal basin and Par
adise gulch.
The new smelter at Salida is
pronounced,a a success and they are
already enlarging their plant at
that place. A large portion OF our
ores are sure to find better mar
ket there than elsewhere together
with material reduction in tran
sportation rates. The Taylor park
cutoff will give US almost an air
line to the Beuna Vista and Salida
)smelters. The distance being less
nhan 100 miles or about one third
OF that to Denver from Crested
Butte.
