Tho same company performed on Saturday night but I did not remain. re-main. My trip was a pleasant one, all seemed to bo in good spirits in anticipation antici-pation of a prosperous as well as an early spring. When tho weather moderates and. the 'zootio disappears, I will look up further items. In oon- I elusion I will mention that all aro in high spirits about the railroad which will soon bo completed through this valley, when means of cheaper transit are once brought to the mouths of theso mineral productive canyons labor will be quadrupled and now almost worthless prospects will then become luorative property.
