It cites slow growth as market optimism fades and emphasizes reluctance by Mackay and Vanderbilt to publicly fund, while Mrs. Garfield may wait for President Garfield to recover and consent to any sizable gift.

Mecca of Life Giving Waters and Missouri Growth
A newly described city in Missouri features over 15,000 residents, spread along a broad valley and mountain slopes with orderly government and a calm, picturesque setting. Its springs are claimed to aid many ailments, first reported as curative in 1879 when a rheumatic man improved after a week and fully recovered after a month. Professors Patten and Riggs analyzed the waters, listing minerals and compounds. The region hosts a railroad linking Wichita and western states, with Joplin as a mineral hub for galena and zinc. Southwest Missouri benefits from climate, agriculture, and renewed emigration, as new buildings rise and prosperity grows across the area.
