For ages past these hills have stood
Monuments of Gods creative hand
For years and years the torrents food
Has washed their sides to canyons
grand.
The rising peaks that now We see,
Like watch towers scattered Ger the
plain,
Conceal rich treasures for which we
And anxious thousands strive to
gain.
These fields were once vast hunting
parks,
Where roamed the bison. elk and
deer;
Here ancient races left their marks
In homes hewn in the cliffs SO
queer.
Here are the forests turned to stone
That claim the students closest
thought;
And the rare gems of mines hare
shown
Vie with those from Orients brought.
And now a wondrous change has come :;
Where once the packers rugged
trails
Wound to the miners humble home
Giant engines climb on iron rails.
No more do slow arastras grind,
But stamps and rolls now echo loud,
While livid smoke from smelters wind
And circling join the clouds so
proud.
Nor will the end show to sight
Until the wasting powers that flow
Give unto man their giant might
In vital force or electric glow.
And looking to the plains below
We view barren. desert field.
That waits the irrigating flow
To give a bounteous harvest yield.
With flocks and herds on plains and
hills,
From every side. we count our
wealth;
With homes so free from common ills,
We see on all the signs of health.
Our laws, with liberal wisdom plan
ned,
Guard and protect each common
right;
Now. to the world. with heart and
hand
We say "Come. " all nature doth in
vite.

temporarily. This action was ncessi
tated by the fact that the treasury il
without funds. The company was con.
templating raising capital for the
erection of concentrating plant but
the depression in financial circles
caused the directors to delay action.
The sulphide ores, particularly the
body of the sulpbides on the south
level are holding out we'll, running
from four to fourteen per cent copper
and yielding an average of little
better than seven per cent. There are
40, 900 TO $4,000 tons of ore on the
dumps.
The Corona Consolidated Gold and
Copper company have from GOO to 800
pounds of ore for shipment to the st.
Louis exposition, brief mention of
which was made in Thursdays issue.
The pieces of ore range in size from
a few pounds to oyer 100 pounds. 1t is
in quartz showing copper sulphides in
large quantities and runs high in gold
and silver. 1t is a choice lot of sam
pies, and there is an abundance of the
same kind of ore in the mine and on
the dumps, these being genuine sam
pies of the quality of ore found in
the property and not specimens.
c. b. Genung, superintendent of
the Orc Concentrating company's
property, brought in some rich speci-
mems of gold ore Saturday. Local
mining people are very much interest
ed about the new strike Specimens
have been horned which show a long
string Of coarse gold in the pan.
Prospectors variously estimate the
value Of the ore at from s25 to 500
per ton. The strike is growing in i'm
portance since the first report, because |
continued work has opened up the |
vein and shows that this rich pay
streak is about two feet in thickness. |
Mr.. Genung is enthusiastic about the |
now. If this vein proves |
and even if it should not |
increase in size, the Orc Concentrat-
ing company will soon be one of the
most noted companies in this section.
With an ore body carrying such high
Falues and all other conditions being
30 very favorable the property can not
fail to be worked.

The water lifted here is perfectly

regularity at the bottom of the shaft.
The depth at which the shaft was
stuck for several months was 968 feet,
but this is now being gradually in
creased and there will no doubt be a
strong feeling of relief with the stock
holders when they realize that there
is a strong probability of the 1850

weeks. If the other shafts fail to

Naval Bureau Report.

The annual report of Admiral H. c.
Taylor, chief of the bureau Of naviga-
ton, recommends the creation OF a
general staff of the navy. the appoint
ment of two vice admirals, one for the
Asiatic station and one for the North
Atlantic station, material Increase In
the number of officers and the addition
OF number of cruisers to the navy.s
AS affecting the personnel of the nas
Wy, Admiral Taylor mentions a defeat
which he says is common to most mill
tary services, whether at sea or on
land. namely, the advadced age at
which officers reach the more impor-
tant commands. The duty of command
ing battleship and fleets of battle
ships. he says, is one which requires,
together with large experience and
ability, the energy and nervous endur-
ance which is found as rule among
men much younger than those who will
command your battleships and fleets
for some years to come. AS remedy
for the present defect he urges the re-
tirement of officers when they have
reached certain age in certain
grade. He suggests that an officer oil
fifty years. who has not attained the
rank of captain, retire, and that a cap
tain. who is fifty-five has not reached
the grade of rear admiral, retire.
After urging an addition to the SER
vice of thirty lieutenant commanders
and fifty lieutenants. Admiral Taylor
says that at present lieutenants are do
ing the duty which should be done by
lieutcnants commanders.
