and prevents tho accumulation of Tdrfer,

COUNTERFEIrERS CAUGHT.

CoNCoRD, N. H., Aug. "a, 1888.
The retreats of the counterfeiters, who
have for the last three years flooded the
States with spurious bank notes and coin,
were invaded last week; y we have reason
to believe the business is etfectually stop
ped for the present, since it resulted IN
the capture of tzrenty1four cct"teyelters
with their plates. engraving tools, print
ing presses, and instruments for Gaining
money.
The particulars Of this business we
have from Joseph Butter6eld, Esq. of
Tyngsborough, Ms, under whose direc-
ton the operations were conducted.
The enterprise was started at Boston.
in the latter part OF July, on the iaforma-
tion of person connected with the gang,
who had been apprehended for "A differ
ent offence, of which he was not guilty,
and who has aided the civil authorities
in breaking up the establishment with a
zeal and fidelity which would hardly
have been anticipated. This person, who
was respectable mechanic, and appears,
like many others, to have been drawn in
the business by the deceptive misrepre-
ssntations Of the leaders Of the gang,

try, as level as any we had passed, until
we imperceptibly found ourselves at the
head waters of Colorado of California, a
river leading to the Pacific. In this re-
gion, about the first Of July. we passed
snow drifts. We doubtless we're 10000
feet above the ocean, for having taken the
elevation of the place where | now am,
| find It to $500. The highest peaks are
probably IA or $1,000 feet above the
level of the ocean. We travelled more
thnn one hundred miles along the head
waters of the Colorado. This river
with the Platte, the Yellow Stone, and
| the Missouri, rise more to the northwest.
Vegetation is here rather stinted. We
found frost every night, even in the latter
days of June.
On the 4th of July we came to the
waters Of the Lewis River, and on the
9Th arrived at this place. 1t is a rendez-
vous, being of previous ppointmenteacb
year. After we arrived at the waters of
the Lewis River we found unusual diff
cultes TO impede our progress, arising
from the roughness Of the way, which
here was greater than we had expert
enced in any previous stage of the jour
|ney Here for three days we toled> up
and down the most difficult sleeps, and
through ravines and Aeep passes. The
last range we crossed. is about as high as
any part of the mountains. One night
the Indians at midnitht fired into our
camp with guns and arrows, and with a
great shout; but by tie time we were
reused and ready for tlem, they were off
aud took eleven of our horses with them.
Where we now are, there are many of
the Flathead Indians. They own i'm
mense numbers Of horse; and are fair
honest set Of peopl:. We expect their
company hereafter.
In two days we are again to start on
our way. 1t is supposed TO beyet about 700
miles to the mouth of the Columbia River;
but ! am hot confident that We shall go a
direct course. We talk of turning aside
to the Salt Lake. Yours, &c.
