EDITORIAL..
The long-looked-for rains have
as yet failed to materialize. The
continued drought of the present
season is uiiprecendented.
A great portion of the Glen
dumps are still in the original. A
few days rain would enable the
boys to sluice a few thousands
more towards their summer ex
penses.
The trails across the divide are
now in better condition than in
any former year. While wet places
are numerous, a detour to the
right-hand side will always allow
one to get by without getting wet.
The celebration of the Fourth of
July this year in Rampart is going
to be a good one. The boys on
the creeks will take advantage of
the present good trail and come
into camp and celebrate with us.
The practical joker who takes
advantage of the forethought of the
miners who place a sign board
along the trail to aid the new ar
rival to reach our diggings, by
turning the signs in such a position
that the board is worse than use
less, ought to be ashamed of him
self.
