A great cause of the prosperity of Ieaven.
worth is due the Government disbursements
and private expenditures of the troops. Not
less than $4,000 in gold is thrown into it
monthly. The effect Of this unlailing stream
has been, in three years, to expand it from a
single hut to seven Thousand people, with
$3,O00,O00 taxable property. This city has
several elements of stability, and bids fair to
become the largest west Of st. Louis.
