C. W. Craighead, of Iowa, the "Pil
grim" printer, editor and prospector,
dropped into Columbus Thursday even
ing last on his way west to again engage
in the fascinating and exciting insnh
for theprecibus metals in the mountains
of Colorado during the summer months.
He has several claims located in that
state and lives in the hope that some
time in the near future he will make a
rich "strike," and then retire to live on
the interest of his wealth. The "Pil
grim" tells many interesting stories of
the lives of the mountaineers, snow
slides, etc., which if put in book form
would make very interesting reading; as
he has spent much time in that section
and thoroughly understands all the
details.
