gold il larger than this | have seen some
about the size Of common white beans; but
it 10 impossible to do anything like work In
winter but o. soon as spring opens we will
be in certain. You win NO doubt see some
who have returned from here dissatisfied
with the country and every thing out here
but such persons would not be satisfied in
any place. This can assure all my frisnds;
that any one that viii work, can make money
fast bot there are some here that will not
DO well in any place But here all that is
wanted is industry to insure fortune.
While am writing to you half dozen
Arapahoos are sitting beside me talking
their language and calling me chief have
been elected Director Of the Town Company
and President Of the Claim Company, and
the indiana seeing the whites come to me
on business, think ! certainly must be
Chief and have dubbed me Chief accordingly.
One thing want you to be sure and tell all
our friends that come out in the spring, that
ed Californians have no advantage over the
rest of US, from the fact that the diggings
here beats them out-they are not confined
10 anv particular location but are scattered
all over the country, for distance Of over
two hundred miles The whole country ap-
pears 10 be impregnated with gold.
We have organized claim laws for Farm
ing and Mining, which | think are very
good and liberal We have preaching every
ether Sunday by Methodist brother by the
name Of tisher-a very clever and good mao;
tho Fisher for Souls he is here like
the rest efus fishing for the filthy lucre."
Those who come out should start early in
the spring
There 10 about eight hundred persons in
this country.
Ii the girls could only be here to see the
Rrcky Mountains in the morning or evening,
when the Gun is shining-they would see
one Of the most beautiful sights they ever
Leheld 1t is about eight miles to the noun
tains The first tier is covered with pine
timber. and looks as black as can be- The
second tier is covered with snow the whole
year round; and looking at both, with the
sua shining upon the peaks Of snow, the
craegy rocks, and upon the plains below
forms the most beautiful sight ever saw.
Ii costs fifty cents to get letter from here
to TT Laramie, and the same TO get one bac
there. 1t used to cost dollar.
We are going TO have train come in in
July, and bring out our families. Ifany
one comes out soon, write me letter and
send by tbem--if not send your letters by
Mail to Fl Laramie.
