have on the Grand Junction colony

camps of wonderful promise have
been discovered and started and the
whole state is on fire with the pro-
gress of substantial development.
Nevada is getting on wonderfully
which nothing can stop. The produc-
ton of gold is just beginning to get

the greatest field OF gold mining in

DEAR ARcADIANs. Our war

knew as soon or even sooner than
we did. A good many persons
here feel that the insurectos beat
the government and the United
States also; we feel a good deal
that way ourselves, but / suppose
the commissioners thought peace
at any price was better than war.
Giving the rebels their stolen
horses and letting them all off scot
free is only another bid for an
other war as soon as few Office
holders get out of Job. Of
course we do not know what
Uncle Sam proposes to do with
Cuba, If it was made a territory
under a governor general with
military rule it would suit me best.
1t is evident that the Cubans are
not capable of self government, as
no country ever had a better
chance to try and failed utterly.
