careful yet rigorous tests, satisfied his mind
upon every question, and now boldly de-
clares that two years hence there will be no
California gulch, no Leadville, no Carbonate
mines, nothing but q few penniless dupes to
curse their luck. The Denver papers also
manifest little soul, and, while they abstain
from an expose of the gigantic scheme, OF
censure of those who created it, they quietly
advise against an immigration, at least until
the snow shall disappear lin June), and the
people can find out what they really have in
their locations.
PROSPERITY OF DEADWOoD.
Leadville has proven a godsend to the
Black Hills, in Kidding them of their black

worst to the best in the land, and I make the
superlatlve statement without fear of contra
diction by any one conversant with the facts.
II there is more orderly, quiet, go-to- bed

people upon the face of the earth, than those
here resident, would be pleased to enter in
to comparison and show, if you can, a
grand jury that has or could be induced to
lndlct transgressors of an old-fashioned Con-
necticut ''Sanday law of the bluest hue.
and I'll admit that we have an equal, but no
superior, as such is exactly what the grand
jury, now in session, are actively doing. But
little, if any, indication of mining camp is
visible about town certainty none exist in

business houses that will compare with any

line the three principal avenues of
trade. Business, too, has settled
down to solid basis, and is conducted upon
strict and correct principles that must COM

AS evidence of prosperity notice the exis-

brick structure, occupying conspicuous
position on Main street, is proudly pointed
out by the citizens as the handsomest, most
convenient and best finished of any in the
territory. The building occupied by the
register, treasurer, surveyor and
probate judge, on, Sherman street,
is model of neatness, compactness
and general arrangement. Religious mat
ters occupy no inconsid erable attention, if
may judge by the appearance of the four
churches, and the size of the congregations
that in them assemble each Sabbath. The
denominations represented are the Episco-
pal, Methodist, Congregational and Catholic,
all working in harmony, and presided over
by clergymen of culture and manifest inhu-
ence. In addition, I observe the existence
of large and growing cred ribbon club
that is doing world of good.
A spacious, inviting and well supplied free
readlng-room was recently established under
the auspices of the latter organization, and
is thronged day and night. The club is also
conducting bi-weekly lecture course and
musical season, which, in point of merit
and attendance, will rate second to but few
IN older, larger and more accessible cities.

entire country, taking up the different camps

ST. PAUL SILVER KINGS.
Hood, representing Forepaugh & Tarbox,
Baldwin, of Newell & Harrison, @. w. Car
penter, of the North Western Stage
Co., Colonel Carver, and many
other ST. Paul gentlemen are here, we'll, hap
py and prosperous. The two last mentioned
have extensive interests, mining and other
wise; have large silver mill en- route in,
and will soon be silver kings of no small re-
pute.
Weather is delightful. Have sat by an
open window all day. No snow on the
ground, nor signs in the heavens of an imme-
date change of condition. Z. F. w.
