San JUAN No Go.-As there are those
in our community who still cherish the
uniwse project of trip to San Juan at
this season of the year. although we have
frequently warned them of the utter
folly. of making the attempt, showing
that those who go now are not only sure
to encounter many priyations and under.
60 unprecedented hardships, but actually
endanger their lives, We feel it due to the
gravity Of the subject to refer to it again.
A correspondent of the Scientific Press
San Francisco) writing from Fort Union,
N. NJ, obtained from Albert Arthur, long
resident Of that section, says that for
seven months of the year there is no in
gress into the San Juan country. or
egress from that region. There is no
getting in before the first of June, and no
chance to get away after the latter DAYS
OF October. He says, also, that very few
winter there, and those who do SO pro-
vide themselves with supplies for eight
months-provisions to subsist upon for
two-thirds of year before they can hope
to realize anything for the toll and
privation incident to and INSOFAR
able from q trip to San Juan
at this season Of the year. We
admire the pluck of the adventurous
prospector, and for that reason, among
others, We protest against any such at
tempting the hazard of trip to San
Juan at this inhospitable season.
FkoM BELMONT. - We have received
from Henry Farrell, an old Piocher now
in Belmont, several handsome specimens
from the Belmont mine, and he assures
us that the specimens sent are not above
the average of rock in the mine. He has
gone through the entire mine, and says
it surpasses in richness and probably
extent anything he has ever seen. The
ledge is from five to eight feet thick.
Mr.. Farrell says Belmont is quite q little
camp, but he likes it, and intends to re-
main there this Winter. Mr.. F. has
many friends here, all of whom will be
glad to hear that he is pleasantly situa-
ted. .....
CHERRY CREEK. = Il. McAlpin, of
Phoebe, who returned the other day from
a trip to Cherry Creek, gives no very
encouraging account OF that camp. He
says there are only about 500 houses
there, including saloons. blacksmith
shops, etc. He says the calaboose is
larger than the New York Tombs, as it
consists of liberty pole in the center of
the town. A Piocher (whose name is
not given) is the solitary occupant OF
this immense establishment, being
chained by the leg to the liberty pole.
The poor fellow is thus ''incarcerated"
on charge OF stealing pair Of blan-
kets.
OK THE RAMPAGE.--On Sunday night
woman OF the town became under the
influence Of liquor, and got SO uprori-
GUS that officer Kelly took her into Gus
tody and lodged her in Jail. During her
Imprisonment she made night hideous
with the vilest language.
The weather on Sunday was quite I'M
pleasant, and there were striking indica-
tons of storm. After night the skies
cleared up, and We began to look for
sunny skies, but clouds Were visible all
day yesterday, and it is now pretty GER
tain that snow or rain will fall soon.
For THE HoLIDAYs.--H. Lewis is first
in the field with goods for the holidays.
Mr.. Lewis is pioneer clothier, and keeps
a large and select stock. Read his ad-
vertisement, and then call at the brick
store, Main street.
