appears in the N. Y. Tribune of the 14th con.

irrigation; and those who have the requisit cap
ital and sagacity, can reap richer rewards
in gardning than elsewhere on earth. Every

mand immense prices for years to come. Mr..
Greedy describs the Hockey Mountain region
as follows:
"And the Rocky Mountains, with their
grand aromatic forests, their grassy 81 AIDES their

brightest sweetest water, their pure elastic at

men will gradually unearth it. | shall be mis-
taken if two or three millions are not taken out
this year, and some ten millions in 1850,
though all the time there will be, now; a
stream ofrash adventures heading away from
the diggings, declaring that there Is gold
there, or next to none. So it was in California
and in Australia; so it must be here, where the
obstacles to be overcome are greater and the ia
elites for getting home decidedly better All
men are not fitted by Nature for goG-dggers;

Mining Is pursuit akin to Fishing and
Hunting, and like them, enriches the few at the
cost of the many. This region is doubtless pre-

disappointed gold seekers that the ''Rocky
Mountain humbug" has exploded and every
body is fleeing to the States who can possibly
get away; the next report will represent these
diggings yellow with gold. Neither will be
true; yet each IN its turn will have certain
thin substratum of fact for its justification.
Each season will see its thousands turn away

failed. Yet feel strong conviction that each

field of mining operations and diminish the diff

across the gold-seeker's path and that, ten years
hence, we shall be just beginning fairly to APP

the Rocky Mountains.
