attention he had so far recovered |
from his very dangerous attack as tojp ;
luapiro almost certain hope of a|
speedy restoration to Ids usual health
Evidently he was on the high road top
health and the resumption of hL-|j
usual heavy duties as a member of)'-
the bar of the Cherokee circuit, thus"
relieving the minds of his family andl
rrieadsuf the great anxiety which f
nis disease had created.
While sitting alone iu his library;
room on Sabbath last he was hearu
to make an unusual noise, as if o!
-j
suffocation, when on some of hi
family entering his room lio was-1
found struggling for breath and in a I
few moments after being laid dow’b |
jeeased to breathe forever.

FROM A WANDERER
.Letter from an old and familiar citizen
who is now out West.
La Junta, Col., June 21, ISBI.
Dear Neil: —lt has been almost one
h eai ago since I left your little peace
jiul town with my brow burning hot
vith the westeren fever and it has
een almost that long since I wrote
vou last. During that time I have
visited iki, principal mining camps,
Silver Cliff, Ruseta, Leadviile, Rob
uson, Ivokoneo and others of this
-stale hut have not been siizvd by the
nining fever yet. Mining seems to
pave no attraction for me, I am daz
|zled for a moment when I am told or
ead of some magnificent strike, sold
>ut for some enormous price, but
when I meet a d< zen poor heart bro
ken, careworn, poor fed and hardly
ised old prospectors who tell me
hey have been pro-pectiug in Cala
oruia ami Colorado for the past fif
teen or twenty y ears and that to-day
itiey have no better prospects than
he first day they began buoyant
vi h hope. I must say I feel some
i hat discouraged in that direction.
And again, I know at precent there
is only some forty or fofty-five pay
! ng mines in the Hate of Colorado.
|£ do not mean holes in the ground,
I >oid for fabulous prices, but paying
mines. Now I know the state of
Colorado lias been prospected ever
•ince ISSO, thirty years, and that,
luring that time there has been at
he least calculation, five thousand
prospectors at work each year upon
oi average. Now, with these facts
erore me and with no reason to be
ieve that I would be more fortunate
ban the average prospector, I had
•ut littie encouragement to go pros
>ecting, Mining proper, in a devel
>ptd mine offers no higher wages
nd hence no superior inducements
o ang other occupation; A mine,
when dsseovertd, is sold to some
eastern Company or capitalist and
worked by them with large ma
:hinery and hired labor. For these
easons, besides numerous others, I
lave not, nor do I intend to engage
in mining pursuits. I have no con
iidenee whatever, in the permanency
it any of the mining camps of the
State. Should you and I live out
ur allotted time we shall see, in my
lumble opinion, tiie prairie dog and
the eayote resume their sway on
Garrison avenue. 1 will talk to you
husly and ttie next man you may
ueet, who has bee'ii here equally an
lung andjprobably has had as good
m opportunity to know such tnings
.a I, will tell you exactly to the con
rary. You never will, in this coun
ry, meet.a prospector or old miner
vho will not soon inform you of his
xcelient prospect holes and tell you
he large assays they have from it,
he length ayd breauth of the ‘’Hue
usher vein, but they never can i-ay
hat tiny ever were offend, or ever
\ ill get ten dollars for the hole.
I have told you what I have not
lone and why I did not do it. Ii
uoyv behooves me to say vvluyt X have
lone and why I did it:
1 will first preface what I may say
with this, that I have not, as m>
inends in their letters seem to thins,
been accustomed to plenty to tat,
and feather beds or spring mattresses
sleep upon lut my dear sjr X have
with a good grace munched the
“hardstock” and slept upon the bor
rowed overcoat spread upon the
great American desert with no other
covering than “the blue canopy of
heavt u.” There I have rented mv
weary limbs aud dreamed, O! happy
|d reams, of the sweet bygones which
Sure oniy mine to remember, j have
ihowever been very fortunate in se
curing good positions at good wages.
I was for three months engaged in
'he forwarding bussiness at a salary
of seventy-five dollars per. month
and after that was ticket agent and
hill clerk at the Denver and Rio
Grande depot in Canon City for
about five months at a salary of $65
per month, besides a commission on
coupon tickets. On account of the
very close confinement my health
became bad and I was forced to re~
■Jgn, since that time I have in the
true sense of the word “roughed” it
until withiu the last few days, I have
secured the position of express mes
senger with the Adams express com
pany and run from this place, La
Junta, (pronounced La Hoouter) to
Doming, N. M., a distance of five
hundred and severity-eight miles
Detning is the junction of the A. T.
& S. F. and the Southern Pacific and
is but a short distance from old Mex
ico and the Arizona line. I have
made but one trip, as the scenery
and the Mexican and Indian towns
are something so entirely new to me.
KfThe Indian is seen in his original
dress, living in the same house they
occupied a hundred years ago. An
Indian adobe house has an appear
ance of neglect and poverty no ne
gso’s house in Georgia can possibly
assume. It is amusing to see the
larger ones, with the little naked
ones, climb out on top of their little
flat-roofed houses and sit there in
the sun gazing at the train as it
passes. The larger ones carry the
little ones strapped on their backs in
the old fashioned way. I did not
know the Indians ever met to wor
ship their God, but evidently they
do, because they have their churches
in their larger towns, with its two
or three bel’s and spires. An ludian
town has more dirt, more bed-bugs
and more solid discomfort, jndging
from their looks, than any man in
the world can imagine unless he can
see one in the lower part of Mexico
near the Arizona line. A Mexican
town is is but little better.
The weather is intensely warm in
Doming and the dust is from four to
eight inches deep. The smallest
wind will rai-e such a dust that you
cannot see twenty feet before you,
and during a gust of wind you must
breathe through your teeth, I run
from here to Doming in 34 hours,
get a sleep of eight hours and run
back iu the same time. That consti
tutes a week’s work, hence, you see
1 have three nights to lay over here
aed rert up. In goiug from here to
Doming we cross the Rio Grande
river just oe tl ;w Albuquerque (pro
nounced Albukirk) and run for two
hundred miles on the west side of
the river. Deming is some ninety
miles due west of El Paso, and west
of the Rio Grande about the same.
I try to locate it for you, for unless
you have a very recent map you will
be unable to find it, for it was not in
existence until very recently.
Mrs. E. still remains in Canon
City, She stands the hardships of
this country admirably and, though
born to greater things she does her
own cooking and washes the [smaller
pieces without a murmur, like the
true little heroine that she is.
Hoping that I have not tired you,
and that I will receive at least one
copy of your sprightly paper, I re
main as ever, J, A. Baker.
