Another EldOradO.

4 rival has risen to Leadv1le. The
latter is experiencing period OF depres
sion, though the mines are as productive
as ever, owing to the supply of all the
necessaries Of life having outrun the de-
mand. Freights from the railway have
fallen from ) to IA cents a ton, rents
one-half to two-thirels, and mechanics
who recently got S3 a day can now hardly
earn more than their board and lodging.
Part Of this decline is owing to the emf
grafton to the new region, Gunnison,
which lies in Colorado on the Pacific
slope Of the Rocky Mountains. Four
rivers water the district and supply It
with perennial grass for cattle Late in
1878 some fine specimens Of ore Were
brought thence, and assayed very high
indeed Early in May Of this year ad-
ventureTs abandoned excellent prospect
around Leadville ior the newer and more
exciting region. Itis difficult of access.
! There is pass at Cottonwood, through
which tunnel. two hundred yards long,
through forty feet OF snow, lands travel
ers on an elevated plateau on the Pacific
slope, Here a scientific arrangement of
derricks and pulleys enables the eNplor-
! els /. lower their wagons and horses to a
| level from which they can drive to the
Gunnison plains. Further South, 1t Al

The origin Of these new ore beds is 4
matter Of dispute among eeologlsts. The
prevailing theory has been that the met

theory Is THAT the region WIS once occu

The Commercial Value of Courtesy.


The Maverick bank at Boston, which
has sold S1OO,00o.000 Of tile government
4 p4r cents, has also been q semalkably
successful financial institution in other
respects, especially as It has hsen rnn on
these extraordinary anti traditional prn-
ciples, according to the Boston xidDertise, ::
The directors believed that ,.ny person
who called upon the bank atfcials in
business matters should lie treated cour-
teously, however small their Erect trans
actions might be. The spirit If aceomo-
dation was ins,illed into evcryAclerh and
employe OF the bank. No ore was al
lowed to stand around, awsiting with
fear and trembling the plessfscr Of the
banl, magnates Ii they had any busi-
ness to transact they We're received as well
come visitors, and not as intrraers. The
bank officials made the smallest deposi-
tors feel that they We're confelnng fav-
or on the bank by depositino u the in
stitution. The business was ls,oked up
on as a mutual advantage t. hank and
depositors, and as Il consequence the bank
has now over seven hundred sdepositors
and S2,5O0,00o Of indi7idua3 deposits.
But Notwithstanding this shirang Illus

tesy and politcness IN business, they will
continue to be, we suppose, about the
