LEADvILLE, Col. Aug. 21st., 1880.
This is the fifty-fourth day since left
ChebOygan, during which time have
"done" Kansas and the Indian Territory
and now I am in Colorado. 1 have just
returned from the new mining camp
in the Kisher Creek district. This new
camp has become one of the most active
districts in Colorado. Prospecting there
during the past few months has develop
ed some wonderful rich and extensive
mines in the vicinity, and that it only
requires active work to show them up in
good shape. Two good assays made
from claims in this vicinity during the
past week have served to furnish an
index of the character of the mineral.
Among the promising claims on Galena
Gulch are the Rawvla, Eureka and Jim
Kinney, which all run high grade ore;
the ore lays in white quartz rock in
granite, carrying zinc, galena, copper
and iron, and assaying well in gold
and silver. The veins are all large, and
are we'll defined and easily traced from
the surface.
The town of Bonanza, in the gulch, is
we'll peOpled with miners, all operating
at the head of the gulch. There are
stores, saw mills, cabins, saloons, and all
modern improvements" Among re-
cent investors in this district is Gen
Tom Ewing, of Lancaster, Ohio, he has
secured some good property and will
soon commence. pushing the work OF
developing. The rides through this dis
trict are the most pleasant of any in
the country; the roads wind through the
thickest of timber, green and large, with
the scent of the cedars and the sight OF
the wild flowers blooming in modest
verdure under the trees, we'll repays a
trip down the San Louie Valley where
the Kisher Creek empties and flows on
to the Rio Grande.
