Correspondence Of TIC Stdrl
BoERSE, TEXAS, July ?, 1873.
am temporarily domiciled in q little German
village, thirty miles north OF San Antonio. II
is q lovely mountainous region, cool and
healthy, with an abundance of butter milk and
docie Mexican ponies. Lager, the great re-
freshment Of the age does not thrive here; nor
do think benign Providence will ever mend
matters in this respect.
Good land, well wstered and wooded, can be
had here for SIS per acre. and there is no doubt
that in a few years it win greatly enhance in
value.
You will no doubt have hea.t OF Cant. Co.
tales, or Casualties, the big Injun, captured BY
Colonel Mackenzie, along with number Of
squaws. Oar worthy chief, formerly the shead
devtP Of the Lipans, has, by quiet piece OF
strategy, (feigning general debility,) managed
TO get out OF the stocksde at San Antonio, and
Is no doubt at this moment in the bosom Of his
family at Santa Rosa. As the veterans name
Is probably destined to figure in events TO come
herewith pencil down the following as 10 his
physical and mental qualities:
Costales isover six feet high, and, despite his
octogenarian age, stands straight and firm. His
skull Is covered with rich sivery hair; his eyes,
still bright, look rather benign, while his coun-
tenance has in 1t something Of the Andalusian:
/ might say Castilian. The fellow is as well
known in San Antonio as the Mexican dollar
In his youth he divided his time between hunt
ing and scalping, excelling in particular I'm the
latter occupation; but this was in his young
days. Now Costales must be considered as a
monarch retired from business, and who is only
useful to his tribe by the diffusion of his gener a.
knowledge among the young warriors. The
energy he displayed in digging the big hole I'M
der the shows that there is vet life left
in the old fellow; and the ovation that awaited
him at Santa Rosa can easily be ina gined. The
squaws and papooses move under an escort,
commanded by Lieut.. Augur, son of General
Augur, direct TO Fort Gibson. IL would, in
deed, have been funny if the government had
yielded 70 the request of the KickapOos and
sent these not very disconsolate ladies back q
Santa Rosa. need scarcely tell You that the
horse stealing and cattle-killing business Is
being carried on as ever. T.. ).

General Grants Mime.

AN INCIDENT OF THE LATE TRIP TO COLORADO
From the Georgetown (Colorado) Miner
When President Grant stopped at Idaho
Springs for a rev minutes during his recent tiy-
ing trip to Colorado, man entered the parlOr
in some haste, approached the President, arc
In a few words told him that he had been with
him through the Peninsula campaign, and was
present at the final cOnsummatiOn of the war:
that he had long wanted 10 pay his humble
tribute to the great commander, and begged
his acceptance of the Notwithstanding him a
sealed package, and then quickly turned away
and WAS lost in the crowd. This package WAS
found to contain good and sufficient deed con
veying to lily sSes ). Grant some undivided one
half interest i'm and to" a certain silver-beariny
lode situated in the lower end of the. county.
AT the time of the giving of the deed as men
TONED above, the only development on the lode
was a shaft at the discovery, some 30 feet deep,
which showed some mineral, but very much
scattered; but about six weeks since the remain
ing half owner, whom we shall call Roberts
as that is not his name,) went down the noun
tain about 800 feet from the discovery and start
ed drift on the lode. He kept very quiet, but
worked with a will, and has reaped his reward;
for after diving the drill some so feet he came
upon body of ore abundant enough and rich
enough to turn the brain of the old st prospec-
tor. The bare statement of the wealth disclosed
would sound like some story of the Thousand
and One Nights" and would seem incredible to
any one unacqusinted with the rich mineral de-
posts sometimes found IN this region. Roberts
continued TO drive the drift, which is now about
one hundred feet in length, and nearly under
the discovery. The body Of ore has, II any
thing, increased In size, and for fifty feet the pay
streak varies from twelve inches TO four feet m
width. 1t is mostly gray copper and brittle sill
yer, and 1t is wonderfully rich. We were told
Of an assay of one specimen which showed a
coin value of S19.2s0 to the ton. There has been
no stopping as yet, but in running the drift
Roberts has taken out some eleven tons of
frst-class ore, which will probably average
zoo ounces, and which Is, we understand, to
be shipped to Germany. There is, at the lowest
calculation, so we are Informed, fifty thousand
dollars in sight; and nobody knows the extent
or width of the pocket.
Thus the matter stands. Roberts has said
nothing, and has shipped his ore away without
disclosing to anybody the richness or the loca-
ton of the lode. There are probably not five
persons who know anything about either. The
deed Of the President has not yet been put upon
record, but he is, Of course, informed regarding
the value Of his Colorado property
