lines embodying my views oil tiliS'
to you, far distant West, in what IS
known and called the Gold Religion
OF Colorado Territory, and for that
purpose | now sit down with pen,
in hand, am, and have been since
my return, enjoying excellent,
health, with one exceptien-with
the mountain fever. fgs
On my return here, I found busi-
ness generally, very dulb as every
person here are awaiting with daily
increasing anxiety the natural and
probable success and final result of
what is here denominated "The
New Processes and, as far as ]
can learn, the Scientific men from
the continent Of Europe, who have
but recently visited our Territory,
have come to the unanimous con
clusion that we have the richest ores
and the best Gold and Silver, &c,
Minerals in the world and as to
the result of my opinion and expe-
rience since my return to this ter
ritory, l have arrived at the con-
clusion that our "New Processes
have proved at last, a final and per-
feet success, and that we are all Of
the opinion that the day is not far
distant when our infant Territory
of Colorado will be classed, as the
Commissioners at the Paris Expo
sition have in their report pro-
nounccd it, "The richest Mineral
Region in the world" For my
part, | am happy to say that l have
some Of the finest and about as
well improved and thoroughly de-
velopcd Gold and Silver mining
property that can be found in the
Territory; and that I have made up
my mind to bide my time instead
Ofselling or disI osing of my min
eral property for q mere song or
trihe. Since my return, l have Ia
ken quite an interest in the prose
cution of "The New Processes"
and at last / am satisfied that our
Scientific men have found the Phi
losopher's Stone of saving all our
precious and most valuable min
erals, gold, silver and copper, &c,
by the Swansea and California pro
cesses .ult.s H. j.. u.f
Last Spring, shortly after my re-
turn here, I embarked in what is
called the Electricity Process of
saving gold, silver and copper, &c,
| in connection with one Rosebrook,
which resulted in an entire failure !;
and the failure so wrought upon the
mind Of Rosebfook that he attempt
ed to murder his whole family and
then to commit suicide. He { Rose
hrook) succeeded in numbering his
two little children, but failed in his
attempt to murder his wife, and
even Of committing suicide, by adj
ministering an over dose Of chloro-
form. Said Rosebrook is closely
con lned in our county Jail, await,
inc his sssial for murder at the next
term Of our District Court, which
viii be hetd next April. ! believe
to-day that man RoseErook is an
lnsnne man. guai I
The Pacific Railroad Is daily ap-
proaching nearer and near to us,
which to lis all is q source Of great
Joy, when we expect that provisions
of aIl kinds and mining tools and
implements will then become cheap
er than ever heretofore, when the
Pacific Rail Road reaches us, In
timts past high wages, high price of
provisions, and tools, and imple-
monts, necessary for the purpose
and use in mining our MINIS, has
been o very great drawback upon
our miners. 44tI
For the last six months VIC have
had very pleasant weather, Which
has been to the farmers u God-send,
for to-day Colorado can boast of
the largest potatoes, tnrnips, cab
bagc, and | may say all kinds of
vegetables that can be found in the
world, and more bushels per acre
than | ever saw. Even small grain
yields very handsomely por acre
and taking all these facts
into consideration and in connec-
ton with the Paeific Railroad, in
one year we can have everything
in the way Of living just as cheap
as they can in the States Of Ohio or
Illinois, or any ofthe United States.
In the Fail Of 1865, after an alb
sence ofeleven years. when ! made
up my mhd---likoIyanhoe-to Wis
1t my native homo, i then cross
ed the great American desert--the
Plains, as we call them-I was com
PEELED to ride IN d hemmed up coach
in the heat of the blisteIing sunand
the binding dust; hut now
thanks to the age of progress, when
| | return this winter | Will have the
pleasure Of riding the Iron horse,
In little less than one third Of the
timn that I did inf the Fall of 1865.
