JOLLY MINERS FROM
LA PLATA DISTRICT


Neither the prospector or burro care
much for the difference between rain
or shine. If they have plenty to eat
and drink and do not get too cold.
What do you fellows in Durango
care whether 1t showed In La Plata
or not?' asked Jack Bradford. 1--WE
are getting more ore and making
more mines whether 1t SHOWS or not"
Seward s. Merry and Johnnie Stray

that the gold camp was all right,

feet on another vein whore they are
getting ore worth from s25 to S71 gold

People may sit in a warm place in
town and watch the storm through the
window. but they can never know the
real thing till they get out In one OF
the mountain storms, perhaps without
snowshocs, when they may have to
tear up their clothing to get strings
to fasten boards or sticks together
improvise snowshoes to get over more
snow than can be waded or "bucked"
down.
The La Plata people always LOOK
good in Durango. for they always have
