EVERY MINE TOWN SHOULD HAVE
 MONUMENT, PROSPECTOR, bURRO
 AND FAILING WIRE, READER URGES

overhead in illimitable space, and wondering what message they might tell and the meaning of it all, and of life, we closed our eyes in blessed sleep till another day might come.
 A glorious newborn day came forth, heralded by the joyous songs of the birds and all true nature re- joicing, the great beauties of which only we three know how to appre- ciate, for, sad to say. men who live in civilized CD haunts and worship the false creed of self and wealth dered forth along the mountain side searching carefully for signs of min eral and at last we found in crevices of the rocks the beautiful green car bonate of copper, perhaps the out cropping of a great copper mine. Days of hard work were spent dig ging here, (and later a great hole was opened in the mountain side at this spot), claims were staked, and news of the discovery travelled fast and far away and cross the plains and mountains. Time passed and men came and saw and went and came again; and men dug and bur rowed in the earth, and soon tents dotted the wilderness. Wagons held together with bailing wire and drawn by scrubby looking mules, broke trail into the new camp, loaded with the makings of saloon and faro layout; and a little later entered the sQueaky violin, and the battered piano with it's uncertain tin-pan sounds, and the dance hall was born; and with the music came the rustling of silks and the waving. of ostrich plumes, aid with saucy toss of head entered the scarlet woman all smiles and wiles eager to lure away the gold and souls of lonely men, and who on occasions, tenn porarily abandoned habits of vice, and with gentle hands ministered to the wants of the needy with woman ly tenderness in times of distress, suffering and death. Came later the pretentious four horse stage coach with swearing driver and cracking whip, and seated alongside was the Wells-Fargo man with sawed-off shot gun.
 Time passed and men dug deeper and deeper into the earth and bur rowed with tunnels here and there urdorgrOupd avar op tho caarob fOr. permanent ore values. Scattered be tween the tents, wood houses and shacks began to go up slowly, and it is related that a man who was considering the question of the paint ing of his house asked the mine captain if sufficient ore was in sight to insure a permanent camp, and was advised not to paint his house for a while; the time passed and men dug still harder. and one day and paint his house, for a wonder ful ore body had been struck
 The pendulum of time swung back and forth, and entered the railroad carrying most varied assortment of human and inanimate freight; came the reduction works and all kinds of mining machinery; there was heard the sounds of the hammer and saw as business houses. were erected, and banks, and schools and churches, and soon there had sprung up a thriving city, where but a short time before there had been only a wilder ness. We three, the prospector, the burro and the baling wire were there and saw it all happen, and we were glad. But we three are now widely separated and have travelled different. and let us hope, more peaceful trails. The spirit of one of Us is supposed 10 rest in Evergreen, but who among the living can ever know of the more precious and more wonderful and more glorious discoveries since made? Thus ends the allegory.
 So it will be seen by thinking men that we three, though of humble mein, have played many leading parts in the ever changing drama of Western life. There have been times when our efforts have been loudly applauded, and we have even received boquets and small emoluments in the coin Of the realm. At other times we have received only frowns and icy stares and perhaps a glance of pity. It is true that we are human and have our faults and failinss the same as men who live in towns; but the men in towns have taken on a very thin venee of so-called civilization and so feel themselves qualified to criticisc we men of the hills and the jungle. We admit with shame. that when if has been necessary for us 10 go to town for supplies, that we steercd q course to the nearest saloon and
