oiye through the columns Of the
RECORD all the reliable information we
%, onther concerning that country and
.ho bes. means of getting there. We
have learned by an experience extending
hack a quarter Of century tina. when
n.onls want to try their fortunes in a
nav country they will make the venture
in spite of all that may be said or done
- nreyent it. Twenty-Five years ago the
,rsss of the Mississippi Valley vehement
r. opposed the movement OF Western
nusonle to California, and if the advice
then so freely offered had been followed,
California would to-day be occupied by
set of nomads, instead OF being, as
now. the garden spot OF the world But
We are DEPRESSING. We saw yes
terday letter received by Theodore
Winkler from John A. Bintart, dated
Denver, Jan. 16. The writer is well
n,eased with the outlook, and advises
Winkler to come to the San Juan coun-
try in the Spring. Through the same
source we obtain some interesting facts
in regard to the region to which all eyes
are now directed. The route from Den
yer to the mines is succinctly stated:
From Denver, travelling almost due
south, to Pueblo, is lis miles by railroad,
at which point the railroad terminates;
from Pueblo to the Muddy river is 20
miles; thence to Huerfano, so miles;
thence, passing over mountain range,
20 miles to Fort Garland. Between Pu-
eblo and the Fort the country is settled,
and supplies are abundant. Fort Gar
land lies 80 miles southwest of Pueblo,
with good wagon road for travel. From
Fort Garland, in west by southwest
course, to the Rio Grsnde, is 20 miles,
over sand prairie country; up the Rio
Grande least side) to Del Norte, 40 miles
thence up the Rio Grande no miles
further to the mines, which are on the
headwaters of the Rio Grande. There
are on this stream plenty Of grass and
water, but the road ia very rough, and
there are no settlements. The noun
tains dividing the waters of the Rio
Grande from those OF the Colorado of the
west are very high-so high that they
reach above the timber belt. TIKI.
PIocHE GRAMMAR SCHOOL, Yesterday
afternoon we casually dropped in to the
Phoebe Grammar school, under the
supervision OF Mr.. schoppman. The
building on Upper Main street. with
which in the past we became SO familiar
as the edifice in which the RECORD was
formerly printed. has been for some
time. and after undergoing necessary re-
pairs, been used for the accommodation
of the pupils attending the Grammar
school. The pupils number about 40,
tolerably equally divided between the
two sexes. The visitor to this educa-
tional institution cannot fail to be graft
fed to witness the robust health OF the
pupils. the natural result Of the salubri-
Gus climate Of this part of the Sagebrush
State. Having visited the Grammar
school some weeks ago, we were much
pleased yesterday to observe that the pu-
pills we're certainly making good progress
in their studies, and that they wers un-
der good discipline, evidently apprecia-
tive of the efforts made by their teacher
for their own advancement.
Our REJoINDER. The "Pen and
Scissors" of the Virginia Enterprise,
some time ago, took occasion to cast a
slur upon Phoebe by saying that of the
1903 assaults to commit murder in this
place in 1873, only seven were success.
full, when the table published by US
showed that there were 1903 assaults Of
all kinds. Now, while We admit that
Phoebe men do some times kill each
other, no man or woman in this town
has been found SO low in the scale of hu.
mainly as to murder helpless infant
In this state Of the case the Enterprise
had better attend TO affairs at home thar
to cast upjustifable reflections upor
