The St. Louis Globular-D Democrat, a
Radical organ, has the following to say
concerning Mr.. Jefferson Davis trip to
Colorado;
Hon. Jefferson Davis, Jefferson Davis,
IT,, j.. NJ. Heating of the Memphis APP
peal, and Hon. NJ. NJ. Broadwell, wife
and son, arrived yesterday morning from
Colorado, and registered al the Southern.
Mr.. Davis is looking in much better
health than when here on his way West,
and he says he is very much improved
by the trip. Besides visiting Denver he
took an excursion in the mountains to
Georgetown at the head Of Turkey can

Hawk and Central City. They encoun-
tered q heavy snow storm in the noun

ing and refining establishment superin-
tended by Professor Gray. There they
saw the pr )cess of separating the silver
from the gold and copper. The latter
is sent in small bars to Swansea, in
Wales. for separation. Mr.. Davis, on
inquiry as to the reason why the gold
and copper could not be separated, was
informed hat it was on account OF the
quality Of coal, but it was averred bpan
old miner from Swansea that wheu the
railroad would be opened 10 Trinidad
there was no Doubt that a quality Of coal
can be procured in the coal fields near
that place adequate for the purpose.
Another reason why the metal is sent 10
Swansea for reduction may be on ac-
count Of the experience Of skilled
miners, as the tin and copper mines Of
Wales have been worked ever since the
Roman occupation.
The party visited Golden City, and
going Southwest spent some time at Col.
erado Springs and the Garden Of the
Gods. They saw Bikes Peak covered
