MANANA
(A Tnlo of the Lost San Saba Mine)
Qrcgor Dugan cursed tho heat.
"Polks 'low I'm a fool t' waste
Most my life with pick 'n' spade
Burro win' ..." But Hope had traced
Tunucity in drooping lines
Around his' mouth. His bleary eyes
Were sanguine wih the fire. of something
Changeless as the summer skies.
Grub was low when winter came
Howling over Reagan Draw.
But Dugan stayed with pick and spade
And worked his diggings till the thaw
Pushed red water from the hills.
Each day he shouldered river silt
While it was hot enough he swore
To mako a desert yucca wilt.
His shaft was sunk into the spot
Of ground marked "X" upon a map
That showed where once a Spanish mine
Was worked just north of Bullis Gap
In Reagan Draw. And off and on
For nearly fourteen years his wife
Had washed and mended overalls
And lived a lonely miner's life.
"Yessir" Grcgor would reply
When asked by jesting ones how soon
He planned to make the find "I guess
It won't be long today at noon v
I got a whiff o' stagnant air.
Know whut thet means f Shore yuh do!
Th' ole mine shaft ain't fur off now.
Say thar Mike . . . uh . . . gimme a chew I"
Perseverance marks a man
Witli stubborn ways and mukes him look
Beyond the dark to vision light
Where light is not. But Gregor took
No stock in shattered hopes that fell
Upon his wife. He kibsed away
Her tears and laughed: "Aw brace up Bett
Tomorrow is another day!"
Evening in the wasteland makes
Pcuciliugs of light and shade;
Silence blends with somber tones
Of twilight till the shadows fade
From Reagan Draw' to usher night
Through Bullis Gap. But Qrcgor chewed
And tongued his cud against his cheek
To drink the dregs of solitude.
"Grcgor come to supper now.
. The bread is cold. Whj' do you wait!"
She paused and then "I understand. ..."
(Her words were soft) "We'll call it Fate."
River silt and gravel fill
Gregor' Dugan 's diggings now.
Forty miles from Bullis Gap
He rents a farm and milks a cow.
When on drizzly winter nights
Gregor bends above a map
Strange lights flicker in his eyes
"Somewhar Bett ... in Bullis Gap. ..."
