IN MEMORY OF LITTLE
DALTON DILLARI).
It was God's will to call our
darling little Dalton to come and
join his band of little angels and
left our home oh! so dark and
dreary. Dalton was too good
for this earth and was needed
to complete the little band that
now encircles the snow 'wihte
throne on high.
Dhlton was born May 28 1910
and died March 12 1921. He
always was a child of a sweet
and affectionate disposition and
did not live for himself but for
what he could do for others
.seldom thinking of himself.
Especially was he devoted to
his little twin brother Alton
who will miss him now forever
for they were always together at
work at play or school and
home is not what it was with
him for the light has gone out
of our home and we are left sad
sad and lonely.
Dalton united with the Bap-
tist church of Althea eighteen
months ago and had lived the
life of a devoted Christian from
then until his death. He had
very tender feelings for every-
thing and just a few 'weeks be-
fore he died he saul "Mamma I
never killed a little bird in my
life; God has a purpose for all
of them." And now God has
need our our ittle darling and we
must bow t ollis Holy Will and
some day ere long we will meet
him to never part no more as he
Has met his brother Lawrence
who preceded him just four
short months ago and they are
waiting and looking for mama
to come and join them in that
happy home where no tears are
shed no more sad partings but
will dwell with God in that home
beyond the skies.
Thou art gone our precious dar-
ling And we will see no more thy
face
Till we meet the o'er the river
In that happy dwelling place.
There we'll meet you precious
dai-ling
There we'll clasp glad hands
once more;
When we meet to part no never
On that happy peaceful shore
His Mother.
Fashion is never folly when
it is used intelligently.

FROM 8ARTLETT
TO COLORADO.
(By T. P. ROBINSON)
(Continued from last week)
The scenery now was awe-inspiring
and bafiles the cunning
pen or1 words of man to draw a
word picture to vivify its scenic
grandeur and wondrous beauty
that would witin the least come
within the comprehensibility of
the reader who has never seen
this country. From the dizzy
heights we began to descend to
lower levels as in our ascent
winding this way then that
reaching the vicinity of tho gold
mines wno.se appearance wc
viewed with interest. The min-
ers in tho construction of the
mine would burrow into the side
of the mountain and pile out
hundreds of thousands of tons
of earth and rock on the moun-
tain side and in appearance
would resemble a small rat hole
in a creek bank so great was
the massiveness of things here.
Our tickets called for a side
trip down into Mary McKonney
gold mine to a depth of 1300
feet a very famous mine.
Upon reaching this historic
mine we detrained entered tho
shaft house were loaded into
the cage whose capacity was six
persons and started on our de
scent. Down down and down
wc went passing lighted hori
zontal tunnels where diggings
had been made until we reached
the bottom. The sensation of
the descent was peculiar be
cause of the speed. You felt
light and buoyant with an un
der weight sonsation. We were
shown nil the implements used
in the mining operations how
they were used given a geologic
lecture on mineral rocks etc.
and instructed in the deposit of
gold as tho present day geolo
dst understands tho inirica-
cics of the matter.
The temperature of this mine
which is nearly two miles above
sea level is 52 degrees F. in the
winter and 53 degrees F. in the
summer. After being granted
a tourist diploma (?) in min-
ing we were ordered to embark
in the cage and start our jour-
ney to the surface. The sensa
tion of this trip was the reverse
of the descent. We were ele
vated 'so fast that we felt like
that wc were heavyweights.
with our pedcstrials groaning'
and trembling under" our body's
weight. Reaching tho surface
once more wc started to our
train and passed a room all fenc-
ed off alone with a play card
hanging by on which were writ-
ten these words "Do Not Speak
to the Operator." Inside this
room stood a lone young man
handsome and intelligent whose
eyes were riveted to the moving
pointers of the indicators and
whose hands were playing with
a wilderness of levers as tho
great drums rolled and groaned
under their task of raising and
lowering the cages loadened
with human freight into the
bowels of the mine.
j This mine has fifteen miles of
underground workings has pro-
duced more than $10000000.00
worth of gold and is as rich as
ever. There is a nice little min-
ing town located around this
mine and is called Anaconda
which is at a lower elevation
than the last town through
which we came. At that place
we had to back the train down
the hill awhile then take a now
forward start. We soon reach-
ed Cripple Creek a town of sev-
eral thousand people. After
spending one hour here we be-
gan our return trip.
A little story of Cripple Creek
vill be of interest at this stage
of our narrative.
The story reads like a page
from the Arabian Nights. Men
for ages had been dreaming
longing and searching for a fa-
ble land but the Gods of Gold
hud flirted and froliced with
their passions until recent years
revealed the Eldorado of gold of
fabulous proportions.
In the early days a man by
the name of Welty homesteaded
the land of Cripple Creek In
1872 Bob Womack and father
immigrated to this country from
Kentucky and settled on a ranch
Jlfteen miles north of Pueblo
thirty miles south of Colorado
Springs and sixty miles east of
Cripple Creek. Along in tho
eighties the Womacks traded for
the Cripple Creek
homestead
vvijJjfcM..aitJLjM.vfi lAaaairf
owned by Mr. Welty. Not being
contented with this the Wo
mackB bargained for Requa
townsight in the vicinity of
Mount Pisgah known as the
Broken Bow Ranch. As time
wore on all this property in this
district had been mortgaged to
liennet and Myers of Denver.
Soon the Womacks found that
ihqv could not even pay the in-
tefist on the loan so a foreclos-
ure by Bennett and Myers fol-
lowed. The elder Womack re-
turned to his ranch near Pueblo
while the son remained in the
mountains.
During these years there had
been some gold excitement in
this district eminent geologists
had been sought and consulted
as to the possibility of gold. The
geologists came and carefully
went over the ground every
nook and corner wrote ex-
haustive reports and maintain
ed geologically that the forma-
tion was not right and that no
gold could possibly exist hero.
