Prospectins-Ris Strike Expected.

Prospecting-Big Strike Expected.
Bill Stake struck out for the hills
beyond the river last Sunday on
prospecting trip, having made ar
rangement for an extended campaign.
His example is well worthy of imi-
tation by others who have the leisure.
particularly at this time. The terri
tory hereabouts, which is known to
abound in rich ore veins, has as
yet hardly been touched and even
thousand prospectors turned loose in
this vast expanse would be like unto
a drop of water in the ocean, let
alone the possibility of overcrowding
the field or OVERRIDING the thing.
Bill was buoyant with hopeful ex-
pectancy-the prerequisite of the sue
cessful prospector-and declared that
he was going to make a big strike
eAS o0AO oo AAO AaAhS Is OCdhO, opCAl-
ed with a final e. the red bristles
on his bare breast and forearms
fairly writhing and wriggling as he
spoke, as though pulsating in ecstatic
unison with his enthusiastic cogita-
ton. 1t is to be hoped that his most
Sanguinne expectations may be fully
realized, and though the letter Sc"
seems to be the most unfortunate
character in the English alphabet
because it is always out of cash, for
ever in debt, never out of danger
and in hell all the time, there is yet
comfort for him in the fact that the
strike he contemplates making
would not be complete without it,
and that it is the beginning of ex-
istence, the starting point of earn,
the commencement of ease and the
end OF trouble, despite the fact that
it was long ago put in hades, there
TO remain forever and forever or as
long as that Internal word is spelled
that way And it might be added,
en- passant, that without it there
would be no editors, devils nor news.
Start Made on the American Eagle.
start was made to open UP the
American Eagle property, near Vidal,
last week, and the pumps were put
in action to unwater the mine. but
it was found that the timbers in the
old works were so badly rotted that
operations We're suspended tempo
rarily, or at least until such arrange
ments as the exigencies demand can
be made.
Building Road.
Owens & Simons, owners of the
recent rich strike south of Vidal. are
building road leading out from their
mine to Grommet station on the San
Ia Fe railroad. This road will be me-
cessary to take out ore and for haul
Ing in supplies and equipment to
further operate and develop the mine.
