JUST FROM DAWSON. 



[Deadwood Pioneer.] 



A Dawson City mining man lay dying on the ice, 



He didn't have a woman nurse — he didn't have the price; 



But a comrade kneeled beside him, as the sun sank in repose, 



To listen to his dying words and watch him while he froze. 



The dying man propped up his head above four rods of snow, 



And said, " I never saw it thaw at ninety-eight below. 



Send this little pin-head nugget that I swiped from Jason Dills 



To my home, you know, at Deadwood, at Deadwood on the hills. 



" Tell my friends and tell my en'mies if you ever reach the East, 

 That this Dawson City region is no place for man or beast; 

 That the land's too elevated and the wind too awful cold, 

 And the hills of South Dakota yield as good a grade of gold; 

 Tell my sweetheart not to worry with a sorrow too intense, 

 For I'm going to a .warmer and a far more cheery hence. 

 Oh! the air is growing thicker, and those breezes give me chills, 

 Gee, I wish I was in Deadwood, in Deadwood on the hills. 



" Tell the fellows in the homeland to remain and have a cinch, 



That the price of patent porkchops here is eighty cents an inch. 



That I speak as one who's been here scratching 'round to find the gold 



And at 10 per cent, of discount I could not buy up a cold. 



Now, so long," he faintly whispered, " I have told you what to do." 



And he closed his weary eyelids and froze solid p. d. q. 



His friends procured an organ box and c. o. d'd the bills, 



And sent the miner home that night to Deadwood on the hills.
