MEssRs. EDITORS II see that my
article on grumblers has been noticed
and criticised by one Of your cores
pondents and, as I have called the at
tention Of one to the subject, perhaps I
can wake up another by returning the
compliment.
He thinks it wonder that I should
notice such petty srumblers at all. A
constant repetition Of noxious subjects
forces US to notice things which, other
wise, would scarcely fix the attention a
moment.
| He says that we live in an aye when
honest worth is almost entirely ignored,
and rascality commands premium.
That there may be isolated cases of the
kind, do not pretend to deny; but.
taken as rule, do not believe it.
| The main trouble lies at our own doors
we have too little confidence in each
other. When we cannot Immediately
understand each others motions, we
jump at such conclusions as the excite
ment Of the times presents, which ill.-
mediately become a fixed fact in our
minds, and it takes deal Of persuasion
to dislodge the false notions.
Again he says. '' Nothing could be
more natural than that those who toll
necessarily for mere livelihood should
occasionally grumble." Now, if good
farm does not afford more than mere
livelihood by incessant toll, think
there must be screw loose somewhere,
either indoors or out-and I would ad-
wise the owner Of such farm to insti-
gate an immediate search for that
screw.
In regard to being governed by the
opinions Of others, he puts different
construction on the meaning than what
intended. had reference to per-
sons occupation; but, if man acts
from pure motives: he need regard the
! opinions of no one.
AS he has brought up William S.
Tweed and others, as examples to show
that bad men do rise from compara-
tive obscurity to Eli high, and what
should be honorable places" I will
say: "That such men have displayed
talent, no one can reasonably deny and
the places they filed eoere high and
honorable, although dishonorably filed :;
and can see no reason why the misuse
Of their talents should bring talent and
honesty to a discount. I think that
some of those men have received a
greater amount of the premium than
they bargained for, and I have implicit
confidence in the competency of our
government to deal out to such men a
full supply Of such premiums as fast as
needed, as the case demands" Wheth-
er the world can see the sparkle of a
diamond or not, it shines all the same !;
and those who know its real worth will
not hesitate to acknowledge it.
If man build mill of double the
capacity needed he shows much short
sightedness but that a persons intel
lectual capacity should be measured BY
the amount Of spare time he may have
is preposterous.

The remnant of Lieutenant
Marshall's division of the Whee-
ler typographical party arrived in
town yesterday afternoon. They
had been out since the 18th day
of June, making a Typographical
and geographical survey of a por-
tion of Conejos county. This por-
ton Of the outfit consisted of
thirty members and seventy
animals. They have had some
very hard work, been showed in
several times, end have worked
until the snow has driven them
out Of the country. They all
snnnl h;~hiy Of the country and
say that altogether it is the finest
portion Of Colorado. In timber
and grazing especially it is the
b07l tegre OF the Territory. The
mountains are steer and rugged,
but in the valleys of the numer-
Gus streams that sgater the c0un-
try, there exists fine rolling land,
we'll adapted to agricultural pur-
doses, and covered with the finest
quality of grass, and abounding
in all kinds Of berries and small
wild fruit. The elevation of the
Atlantic and Pacific divide, in
this portion of the Territory, is
very high, and the pass from the
head of the Rio Grande to Bakers
Park is 1920 feet high. On one
side of this pass there is a peak,
towering up from 800 to 1000 feet
higher. This peak is not the
highest in the Territory, as there
are in the Un-compadre district
peaks that will out-tower any
thing on the earth. The descent
for the first mile after crossing
the range, is 2,700 feet; and for
three miles afterward is 1,50O to
1900 feet per mile. The valleys
of every one of the streams that
flow into the San Juan frona~this
divide are the finest in the Worl0,
and are very rich in fine grass.
They speak very highly of the
country, and say that it is bound
to be one of the spots of the United
States. They will recommence
their work next Spring, as soon
as the snow will permit them.-

TIE following story is told Of

correspondent of the New York
-EUelai59g Post:
Joaquin Miller, the Oregon poet

ted a friend TO present him t.
Miss Hosmer, the sculptor. The
interview was thus described to
me: When the studio was reach
ed Miss Hosmer appeared on the
threshold to receive her guests.
After the presentation, without
making the usual salutation, Mil
ler stopped short, and in his pecu-
liar manner, examined curiouSly
his hostess, and then blurted,
Hosmer, like your eye." The
circuit of the studio was then be-
gun. Miller had but little to say
until the party approached a fine
statute, around the base of which
were two serpents tWined about
one another. These he regarded
Intently, exclaiming " HOsmer,
Pm a savage. l don't know
much about your beautiful forms
and tgures, but L do know what
a serpent is like, and dern me if
they ain the best l ever saw !"
The last statue was some beautl-
full ideal affair Of Miss HOsmer.
This seemed to attract the poet
immensely, for, after a long stare,
he calculated, gazing upon the
marble, Hosmer, you're a great

LETTER FROM GALLATIN.
The Crops-A Flattering Estimate "A
Good Section to Live In.

EDITOR HERALD: - Thinking that
the many readers of your valuable
paper would be interested in reading
something of the agricultural interests
and the doings Of the people of this
locality, we have presumed to intrude
a few items into your columns. Farm
ing is the principal business Of this
valley-the raising of corn, barley and
rye. The corn crop of this valley,
from present indications, will this
year be one-third larger than any pre-
vious year. We estimate the acreage
of this valley planted in corn this year
at seven thousand acres, with an aver
age Of forty bushels per acre (which
we believe is not over estimated),
making total of two hundred and
eighty thousand bushels, worth fifty
cents per bushel. Total amount, one
hundred and forty thousand dollars;
while we have One-third of that
amount of land in barley and rye,
making seventy thousand bushels Of
those cereals, worth at present prices
about forty cents per bushel making
total of twenty-eight thousand dol
lars. This estimate includes the hay
crop, for we are not posted as to what
amount of grain has been cut for hay;
but whether cut for hay or harvested
for grain, the value in money is about
the same, giving total valuation for
CORN AND OTHER CEREALS OF
$l6S,000.
This estimate does not include vegC.
tables and fruit, of which there is suf-
ficiency of the former for home con-
sumption and to spare. There is not
yet fruit enough grown in this valley
for home consumption, but our people
are alive to that interest, and are pre-
pairing to plant largely another year.
In our estimation of crops in this COM
munity We only include what is known
as the Island, strip of land eight
miles in length by two in width. Out
side of this estimate is Old Los Nietos,
New River, and a portion of
LOS COYOTES RANCHO,
Which will add at least one-third o
our estimate, all in Los Nietos Town
ship. Besides, our pork and beef in
terest will add another important
item of revenue to our valley. Taken
all together, we can safely estimate
the surplus products Of the township
at nearly quarter of Il million of dol
lars for the present year, provided we
can realize fair price for our produce.
Who says that the projected railroad
to our back country should not be
built ? When once built it will give
us market in the mines for all of our
surplus produce at remunerative
prices, and lead to the discovery of
new and valuable mines, giving en-
ployment to thousands OF laborers,
who must be fed from our Egypt of
the Pacific Coast.
AS do not wish to weary the pa
thence of your readers, will close,
and pursue the subject further in the
future. OBSERVER.

Opinions Of a Visitor.

A correspondent of the Mendocino
county Independent Dispatch, writing
from this city under date of June 9th,
says good many good things about
Los Angeles city and valley. We
make the following extract:
There are about three hundred ar
rivals here daily, great many being
from the Eastern States and some
from Europe. The city Of Los Angeles
is nearly one hundred years old, and
is, or rather was, a Spanish. town.
Many Of the old adobe buildings with
tiled roofs are yet standing, but they
are fast giving way to more i'm
proved and American style of archi-
lecture. The city is built upon large
valley, or, more properly, you might
call it plain. The land is exceed
ingly fertile, and there is great guam
tity of it good. Taking Los Angeles
as a center with radius of one hun
fdred miles, and it would describe
semi-circle of land that (as has been
estimated) will support million of
people in comfortable circumstances,
and do not think the estimate is to o
great.
The productiveness OF the soil is in
deed wonderful, and there is no place
on earth where the labor of man can
accomplish so much as in this coun-
try. You cannot name tree, a shrub,
cereal or flower that will not grow
here and flourish In the open air.
Fruits and flowers of the high lati-
tudes grow side by side with those of
the torrid zone, and oranges, apples, al
monds, peaches, grapes, olives, lem
ons, pomegranates, figs and many
other fruits, can be found in the same
orchard. The climate is very even,
the thermometer rarely falling below
$40 in Winter or rising above 800 in
the Summer. have been here about
week, and during that period have
not experienced any unpleasant
weather. The improved grounds
around the residences of some of the
citizens here are beautiful beyond de-
scription. The greatest rarity of trees
0ruit-bearing and ornamental,) and
shrubs and vines of the rarest and
choicest quality, grow in the richest
profusion while the air is perfumed ty
display of flowers that would rival
any exotic garden in the world, and
the groves are vocal with the music of
the finest singing bird, the hooking
bird, which is native of this place.
This bird is protected by law, and it is
q fine to kill or trap one of them or to
take one of their eggs out of the nest.
He almost seems possessed of intelli-
gence enough to appreciate the dis
tinguished honor thus paid him by
the law of the land as with an aristo-
cratic air he flies from tree-top to tree
top initiating the sounds that he hears
around him.
This city | think is destined to be-
come a great one, and the country
around it is certainly amply capable
Of supporting it.

Grain The Flour Mill = Chaplain
PHOENIX, June 23.-The weather is
very clear and warm.
Notwithstanding the constant work
which has been done on the dam, they
have been unable to raise the water
sufficiently to flow into the bitches.
A number Of trains will load with
grain this week for the different posts,
to fill the new contracts.
Hellings' threshers will commence
work tomorrow.
The mill at East Phoenix is rum
ming, and turning out considerable
flour.
Hayden's mill has been stopped for
while, in order to make some i'm
provements. The Indians from the
ella are bringing to Hayden's place
large quantities of wheat.
Some shooting was done at Span
ish ball last night, but owing to the
inefficiency of the light no damage re-
suited.
Chaplain Gilmore has just arrived
from Camp Mcdowell on his way to
Prescott.
TUCSON, June 23.-Hon. John Was
son returned yesterday morning from
the East.
The Citizen says the reports from
the copper mines are of the most
cheering character. Mr.. Pearce left
the mines last Thursday, and the day
before he left they ran out half ton
of pure copper from one of the fur
naces, and everything was working to
the satisfaction of ali concerned. 1t
is the intention of the company to
erect two more furnaces at once. A
few such men as K. NJ. Pearce and c.
o. Brown will soon bring the country
up, and we certainly hope and believe
that their profits will be equal to their
enterprise. -
A number of arastras are running
at the Orc Blanco mine, and good re-
suits are anticipated when they are
cleaned up. We see every day rich
specimens of gold, silver and copper
ores, brought in by prospectors from
different sections of the country.
