FoHr LAHAnIa, n. r., March Ii 1858.
The hbulous acco0nts Of abundance Of
gold Of Pixies Peak and Cherry Greek have
been 90 extensively circulated, that I fear
shall only waste my time BY making an effort
70 correct these erfoncous reports but 40
the interests Of thousaDds are at stake, L
feel bound 70 assure you that the gold is not
saiiciently abundant to pay for gathering il.
A dollar and a-half per daf 10 more than
any miner can average; there has not been
two thousand dollars worth Of dust or lumps
gathered, and in the two towns Of Auraria
and Denver City not more than seven thou
sand dollars in dust or coin can be raised.
The people at the mines are holding ON
with the hope Of selling town lots and rent
ing houses ct enormous rates to the emf
grants that are expected in April, May and
June, and to this end are all the letters
written from Smith, Jones, &c, in the st
Louis papers The authors Of these letters
are well known TO some Of 1ur community,
but even 70 strangers their extraordinary
laudations Of the climate, soil, and agricul-
tural and mineral resources of that region
ought to inspire some doubts Of the truth Of
their statements. The reports Of the Topo.
graphical Engineers and others show con
clusively that this region must always
remain . comparative wilderness, for except
in few spots, the land 10 totally unfit for
cultivation, and there 10 not timber enough
for fire wood.
The motive for circulating the reports of
the richness Of these mines is precisely the
same that caused the false representations of
the great strength and Incorporating
hostility Of the Mormons to be published
throughout the country and the profits Of
the Utah war have only stimulated some of
Missouri river friends to attempt to continue
abundant freights, crowds Of passengers and
o cash market ut home for their cattle, mules,
wagons, corn and other produce.
Young men of no business and rowing
dispositions might probably just as we'll 20
to Cherry Greek as any other place, but it
would be Ut mitigated folly for heads of
families or men settled at q trade or farming
to move to the new territory Of Colona or
Jefferson.
am glad to see that Congress has refused
to supply the Indian tribes with guns, am
munition, tomakawks, &c, and my own OBJ
servation has led me to believe that the
sysetm Of annuities ought to be abolished.
The whole concern is one mass of swindling
and corruption, from the three and a half
per cent levied on contractors for blankets
to the wagon loads Of presents given by
agents for forming and retaining harems Of
squaws.
