With a split-tailed coat and collar high,
Whose corners lift toward the sky.
With sharp-toed shoes, tight pantaloons,
And socks with colors guy as June's,
A white speeked vest, a campaign hat,
Two yards of silk for a cruvat;

All wrinkled up like cabbage leaves.

And all the kids at Hob have glared.

Tile nijrlit a night 01 loy was mauei
Tho Jiids and maids lurji, the hours
Forgot c'l else but pleasure's bowers.
The singing circle's voices sweet
Went out the midnight hour to greet.
Refreshments crowned the evening's fun,
At midnight, pleasure's race was run!
The lads and lassies broke the ring,
Ron's secret mission now is come,
He arms a love.lv hisaie home.
If all the thoughts that, ebbed and flowed
In Robbie's vl-ion as ho plowed.
Could be brought out and plainly seen.
This after session was supremo!
Ho rode with tearful earclessjspeed.
Of rooks and gulches gave no hoed,
All for these tifter n minute's walk,
And with the little maid to talk.
The dark eloudi haiiK with dullness down,
Inslumberlav the silent town.
The wind with low-pitched accents moaned,
The swaving willows creaked and groaned.
Hob shuffled down the silent street,
To mount his horse with ready feet.
Alas, some wretch with purpose low,
Had cut the rope and let him go;
And now perhaps at home ".shanks'' waits
For ISouiuo at t no Maine gate-'.
Ah Hob! Ah Hob! Your sorry plight
Will drive your mother wild to-night!
She told you of the live long miles
Retwoen vour home and Ella's smiles.
Your sturdy sire with long drawn face,
Said, "Homo for vou sir. is the place,"
Your brothers said: "Your night-hawk

Would end in sorrow's wary plights."
In gusts and fits the wed wind (lew,
The rain soaucd Robert through and

His high raised collar lod its starch,
His white vest lo-t its portly ureh.
With downcast hoad and solemn face
Hob to..k ihe road with manly pace;
Knee-deep in water yonN he stepped,
Then gained the edge and softly wept.
With long-drawn breath und secret smiles
Hob measured fust the weary miles,
lie gained the canyon's gloomy way.
Unguidod by a single ray.
Here, sombre caverns broad and deop,
Far back into the hill-side creep.
The old-time stories tell the tale.
That here the mighty phantoms wall;
That ghosts und ghouls with horrid paco
At midnight walk this haunted place;
That everv rock bus glaring eyes
And slugs some dcatn-liko melodies.
Ail these come into Hobbie s mind;
Ho hears the liiiKCilng songs behind,
As carefully he Meads along,
Afraid lest ho should do a wrong
To his high ghostsbin In the durk
Hob sighs for the old fl replace spark.
Tin trfrm he thimbles what alioikel
Ugh! Heavens! what was that dreadful

His derby hat stands out aghast,
His br. at'ii comes Milled, thick Mid fast.

THE WEALTH OF UNION COUNTY
The Opinion of an Able Writer ami .Miu
tag Expert.
Editor Orboon Scout:
In my firt and lust communication
from tiiis point, I s-poko in general
terms of tho mineral supply of Cornu
copia and adjacent districts, promising
to in a future letter specify tho prop
erties that are still in the hands of tho
original locators. I will
take those !
that have been first brought to my
notice. ' 1
Thn "Stnio" minn ia situated ono !
mile north of town, and is the proper
ty of Bolles it Senor and 11. Brown,
three bueinass men of this place. Tho
ledgo is sevon feet wide between the
walls, with throe feet of solid ore. The
oro is dark, like black silver sulphurets,
containing, however, but little silver,
but using a common expression, is
"lousy" with freo gold. Tho wall rock
of slate also carries gold in paying
quantities. The average of all tho
ledge matter assays or rather mills
if.lO per ton. 1 have just been shown
tin assay from this ledge, of ore which
was not considered worth saving, which
reached $2!).2o. This ledgo runs, in
direction, a little east of north, directly
over the mountain, and work can be
commenced on tho ledgo, increasing
in depth six inches from the. surface to
each foot of tunnel. It is most favora
bly located, as a good wagon road runs
to the hiouth of tho tunnel. Water
power in a small stream lies within
fifteen foot of tho tunnel, with timber
on tho ground suHiciont for an almost
endless exploration of the mine. This
location is about three fourths of a
mile from tho O. Cr. M. Co's mill which
drops twenty stamps. Thirteen hun
dred pounds of tho "State" mine ore
run through this mill, left on tho
plates $73.50, and had the oro been
roasted a much larger result would
havo been obtained. There is no use i
in denying the fact that roasting elim
inates the bitso element that accom
"panys the ore, giving a much larger
return of tho precious metal. 1 ho
mine can probably be bought for sixty
thousand dollars, which, if your cor
respondent were allowed to j ml go of
its value, ho would call a good invest
ment. Its accessibility with its sur
roundings of wood, and water power,
make it really a bonanza for some ono
with capital. Ono piece of oro reached
by assay tho enormous sum of $20,000
per ton. I don't dusiro to carry the
idea that thcro is much of such oro in
tho "State," for that class of oro is
found only in pockets, while enongh
is distributed through tho ledgo to
mako it of great value. At tho depth
of fifteen feet from tho surface a "lime
hor&o" was encountered which is grad
ually diminishing in size, hut has all
tho way carried gold on an average of
$17 per ton, so it may bo safely said
that all inside tho walls carries gold in
paying qunntitios. Tho samo descrip
tion and romnrks will apply equally
well to other minus in its immediate
vicinity, among which aro tho "Com
et," "Way Up" and "Gorge," which
were referred to in my previous lottor.
The "Comet" U three fuct between
wall of fcolid quartz carrying gold,
with sulphurets carrying two or three
dollars in hilver. Twenty sacks pro
duced twolvo dollars of freo gold, be
sides tlio metal loft in tho tailings
which aaay twenty dollars por ton.
It is gonerally shown that about ono
half, or one-third is tnvod on tho
plates. Thu oro from those mines all
requires roasting, but tho working
without roasting loses none of tho
gold. Parties are now flutling in
chloriniition works similar to IIioho
now in operation at Deor Crook, Nova
da City, California. This process has
proved Eutihfaotory and is generally
adopted where the oro is accompanied
by rebellious or refractory olomontd.
Tho oro is exposed to thu notion of
ohorina for forty-oight hours.
It is no
oxporiment which tlio Cornueopians
are trying, hut simply obeying scien
tific touching. Even tho freo gold in
these mines is shown to bo in sufficient
Wiit of Wait oho?, CI
quantities to justify the wihKst antVi
pations of the owiure.
Cornucopia has evidences of refmo
mont nnd civilization which strongly
mark its material prosperity As 1
write the sweet tones of a piano are
waftetl. through the clear mountain
air inspired by the master hand of onu
of our fair daughters, and 1 recognize
the music of Dipie and the more ditli
cult strains of tho German Opera. 1
am told that there are three pianos in
town. The tcrpsichorian deity has
has also it 8 worshippers two dances
having taken place during my short
sojourn of ono week.
There was a meeting of citizens held
the other night to consider a proposi
tion to shorten the road between here
and Union. In ono place a distance
of eight, or ten miles can be tmvpd,
which, beyond tho pemdventuro of a
) . A i ! it .
doubt, will make union, oy tar, tne ,
nearest und most nmcticablo route. !
V t,l..,U v-,v.. -,f M,n vl. mohW
of tho commissioner that they will
take steps to materialize tho proposi
tion. Cornucopia will in a few days
report progress in tho project.
Six or seven miles east of Cornuco
pia is tho new district of Oknnngon,
which has of lato attracted considera
ble attention. In this district tho
walls of tho ledges aro the familiar
porphyry which is so welcome to the
eyes of the old California prospector.
Tho ledges aro mammoth in size and
well defined. When more develop
ment is made and assays aro reported,
I will send you the results. Yeiily
this is a rich land rich in hardy, en
terprising men lieh in healthy and in
telligent women and rich in tlio
precious metals. Good-bye until next
week. Baxiun.
1 S. Since tho above was deposited
in the mail, I learn of important de
velopments in tho "Bed Jacket" mine.
A body of rich ore has just been reached
in the lower tunnel. This is '100 feet
from the surface, thus dispelling all
doubts about the depth of tho ore de
posit. The surfaco showed two veins
of which tho ono just struck is tho
smaller. It was found just where it
was expected to be found, and thu su
perintendent, Mr. Smith, has no doubt
but what tho two veins will eomo to
gether in about 25 feet more. The
oro contains both sulphurets and freo
gold.

Editor Ouuao.v Scout:
Looking over your itsue of March
1-1 th, I seo a correspondence from
Centralia, W. T. It appears that u
young blood from 1'yle canyon was
traveling through this country nearly
out of stamps. Tliero aro plenty of
men here in the samo fix. I have
lived in tho vicinity of Summorvillo
for 20 years, from tlio first sottling of
Grande Hondo valloy, and novor saw
as many destitute peoie in that time
as I havo seen horo since the 9th of
February last. Thero aro from six to
ten men walking tho railroad track
ovory day, hunting work and begging
something to cat. Some of thorn well
dressed, respectable, and intelligent
looking mon, but without money or
employment, and moro nro coming.
The west hound trains aro full of emi
grants comiug to 1'ugot Sound, 1
can't seo what thoy aro coming for.
Thero aro throe men for every job
now. This iB a country with nothing
but fir timber, poor boef, hard work
and saw mills. Jt looks about tlio
samo compared to Grande Bondo val
ley that chalk would to choeso for eat
ing purposes. Kor humanity's sake
stop all tho emigrants in Grande
Bondo you oan, where tliore is plenty
to oat, and work at somo wagon.
There thoy will not go hungry. There
aro plenty here that will do anything
for a little grub and sit down on a log
and oat it. Some that will pick up
tho scraps that are thrown out of doors.
I would advise all to stay thero that
aro thinking of coming here to labor,
if thoy oan get board, for a man with
out money does not fare bolU-r than a
good dog doua there. I would toll you
i nloro btit fesr your space would not
admit ofit. I hopo the people of Un
ion county will ruino tho subsidy to
build the Hunt railroad.
