further south the South Arkansas opens
q road to the Sywatch Pass, which leads,
by deteour Of some one hundred aud
fifty miles, to the mineral MINES of the
Gunnison. S.' ''"'4.
The ores are carbonate of silver, of the
same character as those of Leadville, and
9 number ofrich mines have been discov-
cred. Two boys, cousins, working togeth-
er, found rich carbonates, and realized
between them $4,000 by q few weeks
work, still retaining one-half of their
mines. Speculation is as high as it lately
was at Lcadville, and will probably con
tinue till some new and more remote re
gion is opened to attract the swarm OF
immigrants, ever. ready to pull up their
stakes and push forward.
The origin Of these new ore beds is a
matter Of dispute among geologlsts. The
prevailing theory has been that the met
ais originally existed in veins, and were
washed out by glacial action. A later
theory is that the region was once occu-
pied by vast fresh water lake, which
held the carbonates of various metals in
solution, which were slowly precipltated,
and gradually covered with superficial
deposits of later geological epoch. If
this theory be correct the amount of pre-
cious metals in the Rocky Mountain &C.
gion must be incalculablc, enough to sup
ply all the wants of the world for ages to
come.

A rival has risen to Leadvlllc. The
latter is experiencing a period of deprcs
sion, though the mines arc 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 5 to 1 ID cents u ton. rents

Part of this decline is owing to the emf

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

Valne Of Shade.

A perfect sheep range implies plenty
OF shade at some airy point where the
flock can, after feeding the cooler hours
Of the earlier day, resort to escape the
burning rays of the summer sun. In per-
mancnt pastures such can be had by
planting trees where they do not natural
ly exist. Temporary shelters may be
economically constructed from boards
laid fiat upon posts six or eight feet high,
where timber is remote, or by throwing
boughs and brush upon a rude frame
work of forks and poles. where they can
be easily secured. The time and expense
involved in the obstruction of such
shelter will be trifing in comparison to
the advantage resulting to the flock. As
elsewhere intimated, in discussing the
need Of water1 the instinct of the Sheep
can usually be safely trusted as an index
of Its necessities. Sheep, as eagerly as
man, seek shade when the heat becomes
oppressive: and to deprive them of It's
enjoyment is neither economical or mer-
cifui.
Like many other good things Of lille,
this matter Of shade for sheep may bc
abused, if not carefully looked after by
the flock master. In excessively hot
weather, the flock may spend more time
than necessary in the coveted shade. If
such inclination is evident fet the shop
herd, ut the proper time, walk quietly
about the resting place, aud, by some
what scattering the animals, turn their
attention towards the pasture. Again,
the close huddling will encourage the
development and spread of infectious
diseases, should any trace of sucl, exist.
To amelioratc the danger in this dircc
ton, let the shelter, if temporary, he
occasionally moved to fresh ground; or,
it permanent, let the standing space be
thoroughly scraped, the manure removed,
and the ground turned over by plowing-
thus bringing the purer and cooler soil in
contact with the feet and bodies of the
sheep. The expenditure of the few hou,s
per week, and the necessary outlay of
money involved in the above sugces.
tons, will como back more than four
foil III dollars and cents to those who
will act upon them, while in less selfish
view, the satisfaction OF constituting to
the comfort Of SO meek and appreciativc
an animal should prove sufficient reward
to the man who seeks to secure an
approving conscience, and good
name. by being classed as ono who is
''merciful to his beasts. '-Nationak L:rc
