Your special from this particular region
4 OF the Rockies has pitched his tent ior u
season in this goodly city OF Bowder. The
little city is gracefully seated at the loot
| of the mountains that are overlooked BY
the dignity and snowy pride OF Arapahoo
Peak The place is appropriately named.
| 1t is in BOwlder Valley, on Bowlder
| Creek, at the mouth OF Bowlder Canon,
and in Bowlder county. The powders,
| like canon at BalsklsYs, are TO
the right of US, to the
lett of US, and all around and about Us.
The. whole outside OF things being so
thoroughly powdered gives one at first
glance an uufavorsble opinion as to the
! growth Of green things in the midst OF so
much globular s&ndinCss. However, a
| ride into the country around B0Wider
will soon convince the most skeptlcal 10
the contrary. He will soon be among
the homes OF as thrifty class Of farmers
as can be found anywhere IN the States.
There are some seven valleys IN al, the
country, crossed by as many streams
from the mountains, furnishing am
pie irrigating facilities. Here are
TO be found wheat lands winch
yield from thirty to forty bushels per
acre OF as fine wheat as ever was made
into -four and food. The cereal queen
reigns here in sweet peace and calm
hopelulness, except when grassDopper
wears make q sort OF interregum IN her
kingdom. There are no fears OF the pest
now, since no eggs have been deposited
vet. Whether this failure ls due 10 h
fear on the part Of the hopper OF the
Scientific Commission who came cut here
to study him in his native places, Or to
some other influence equally potential, l
am not able to say.
Just out on sort of rim beyond the
wheat fields are numerous coal deposits.
Along the line of junction OF toot-hIIl and
valley there is limestone deposit, dot.
ted here and there with kllns for making
lime. At several outcroppings this rock
is of deep red color, and receives quite
fine polish This formation l take to
be OF the age OF the Mount Jura lime
stone, though in this | may be mistaken.
A more careful examination is necessary
to enable me to speak positively. ltcon-
tsins thst wonderful "phOtograph
stone" Of which l have heard so
much and seen so little. These
Inv deposits had their long rest threat
ened by q joint stock Marble Com
psny, bat l believe it was soon numbered
amoug the not yet possibles. Take !; al
in all, this bowldery county has holder
future before it than any OF her sister
counties. can not now speak OF her
Dig beets weighing as high as twenty-five
pounds, her long parsnips growing down
toward bedrock; OF her plenttule oil
peas, OF her potato promises, ADD o! her
cabbage capacities, Tor al OF which, in
Guiding large squashcs and a rafting FIRE
Company. she is Justly celebrated.
When we add coal in abundance, fine
wheat resources, number one schoo. ad-
vantsges, railways, and railways to De-,
large cattle and sheep business, toun-
dries smelling works and mines of gold
! and silver, we are led 10 inquire what
! more do we need to make this al lntpc-
! rum in imperial All! l see, we need
"greeubacks;" but if we do not get them
we can have the sublime satisfaction o:
having furnished the Nation with -
greenback candidate for the Presidency.
But l hurry on to a question that
concerns cur whole State - .
! United States mint It Dep
yer. | need not consume valu-
able space in giving your readers the
reasons why our beautiful go Ioen OF the
Rockies' should soon have the coveted
Gem placed IN her crown. Suffice Ii to
say, that there are natural AS well -
local reasons Tor coinage mint AT Den.
YER. Now, she has gold and silver to
the right Of her, gold and silver to The
left of her, and gold and silver IN abun-
dance south OF her, IN the State OF when
she is the capital. Since these are the
metals to be coined, and IS hog ana
hominv are not coinable, l am q. loss TO
know why Louisville or Indianapolis
should aspire TO this Government gift.
But nv establishment knew no Bounds
when. By late number of the Enquirer,
[ learned that the Paris OF Amorlcs,"
or Berlin of the Western WOrd,' which
ever it is, was making solid effort TO
win the mintiC prize. One might think
the Queen CITY of the West, unless she
has hors leech propensitIes and caPacl-
ties. would rest satisfied for decade
with the lsurels that already ornament
her crown. She can count among her
trophies three bridges easily and grace.

GLORIOUS homage OF one OF your many be-
nevolent wealthy citizens, paid TO the re.

We rs.her think you shou d be sat SIZED,

thus being stimu a,ed the business OF re-

increased. and so the commercial welfare
OF the whole country would DC enhanced.
Tho recent big wind and snow storms

about three per cent of our sheep ana

The per cent. would not have been that
Iarge had the suffering hocks and herds
been properly cared Tor. The blockade
in railways running east was serious
loss both IN purse and patience. Inc
blockade roads did all IN their power TO
make their passengers happy, and leave
them st their journeys end with good
taste in their moths. For about week
there was but one route east open-that
by Pueblo. Sand and snow were mng'-

A sPECK OF INDIAN WAR.
Our people to the south snd west OF US
have been a little excited by reports OF
wsr feeling, and preparation for war IN
the camps of the Utes, but it Is now gen
