DENVER, Sept 29.--Thomas K. Cree, secre-
tary of the Board Of Indian Commissioners,
arrived here to-day He brings with him a
copy Of the Brunot-Ute treaty signed by the
Indians. In company with six Indian chiefs
Mr.. Cree spent week exploring the Brunot
purchase. They visited the San Juan mining
region, and report it immensely rich in gold,
silver, copper, lead, iron and coal. Five hum
bred valuable lodes have been located, and one
mine the only one fested) is yielding, with
poor machinery, 81 600 in gold per day. This
mine was sold, without legal title, to CHI
cago company, for $500, 600, and since the
treaty is valued at a million OF dollars.
A mine with better indications, on the same
lode is being negotiated for at $3.50 900, and
ore from this lode yields from 81, 900 TO So
900 per ton. Another lode, undeveloped,
yields $4,000 per ton. The country is very
rich in silver ore, one very rich lode six feet
thick having been found There are immense
veins of copper cropping out on the surface,
none Of which are taken up. Iron and coal
are in close proximity, the latter being of SUI
perior quality fol smelling purposes. fIity
town lots were located upon receipt OF the
news OF the signature of the treaty.
Mr.. Cree and party spent seven days in the
saddle, crossing the Unionpaghee and san
Juan mountains at attitudes OF IL, 500 to 49,
900 feet, riding through rain and snow over
steep trails and through fallen timber, swamps
and rocks. They report the country as the
grandest in the world for mountain scenery.
At one point they saw about one hundred
peaks from Ia, 600 to 10000 feet high. The
mining region is surrounded by "a fine chain
Of mountains The country acquired contains
about 400 600 900 acres.
The proceedings were in the shape Of arti-
Giles of agreement, and do not come under the
head Of a treaty, which is forbidden by law.
THE RECENT ELECTIONS in Pennsylvania, o.
hio, Iowa. and Oregon, have resulted in great
ly reduced majorities for the Radical tickets.
In Pennsylvania where they vote 'eariy and
often they elect the whole State ticket, minus
a few thousand. In Ohio, the democrats claim
to have carried the Legislature, though the
vote is close, and the heavy gains in the State
indicate the election of Allen, for Governor,
bat this is doubtful. In Iowa the Radical ma
jority is reduced to l6, 600. In Oregon, Mes
NTH, democrat, is elected to Congress. This
looks as if the democratic party was not dead.
A PLEASANT REMEDY. The change in the
weather has given every one coughs and colds
for which here is very pleasant and effective
remedy :--Instead of nauseous medicines
stews and vllainous compounds for coughs,
sore ihroats and throat diseases, raw honey is
used spoonful, whenever the throat feels
uncomfortable, is taken, with great relief, eff
feeting a cure in few days and sometimes in
few hours. This is probably a secret worth
knowing in our throat-disease climate and we
give it without any charge for the prescrip-
ton. Swallow it slowly, without mixing it
with the saliva, is the simple direction. Little
for sale all over the city.-PWts Letter.
