LEADvILLE LETTER.
LEApyrlLE. Coz, Aug. %, ESQ.

Dear Editor:
We received the last two copies OF the
DEMocRAT, for which please accept our
thanks. It's like meeting AN old friend,
to read scopy of the DEMOCRAT.
We were panied 10 learn of the death OF
Or. Brown, who had been friend to US,
as he had to many pensioner
Lcadville remains about IA usual, though
We think business rather improving, and
the prospect for u large output of ore this
fall aud coming winter is very good, we
think The Chrysoile (yes, the Chryso-
lite that had .'petercd OUT is shipping
nearly as much ore a. she ever did. The
OUTPUT last week-Six days-was GIL tons,
netting over 100000. Truly the Chryso-
lite must he played. We think her safe To
buy ut $500. We forgot TO mention that
Mr.. C.. s. Stone. the weigher of the Chrys-
olite, shipped 207 tons of ore Monday, the
10th. thereby winning box of twenty
four dollar segars. That was the largest
amount of ore ever shipped in one day
from any one mine in Leadville.
We are glad TO see that the Republicans
are making a strong fight in Maine, aud
we shall be very much surprised If they do
not carry the State by good majority in
September; aud in November we shall look
for an old timer-say ten Ia twenty thou
sand We are pleased to see what an ass
Fogg Is making OF himself; and we opinc
that before the middle OF September he
will find that he cannot chuck" against
FRYE for Congress with any degree of GER
taiuty-except II be that he is certain u
stay at home. Every man have spoken TO
about the Maine fraud, whether Democrat
or Republican, has denounced 1t, and |
have talked with number since coming
10 Colorado. All fair minded men say
that il was worse than the Alabama or
Mississippi plan. Colorado can be safely
counted for Garfield.
Was glad to see the items from Water
ford in your last issue; hope they Will keep
It up. We are all crazy here, for anything
that is news from home.
The wife of l.. X. Nelson has been quite
III OF late; she is improving, We are glad
to learn. Mr.. Nelson is boOkkeeper at the
Chrysolite.
We saw Mcfarland, who killed Albert
Richardson, on the street recently. lie
has been living here for the past year. He
is 4 perfect wreck of his former self, though
he shows that at one time he must have
been n man of intellect. He returns 10
New York soon, We learn,
We saw Gen. Ewing, the soft money
champion, at the Clarendon Hotel the other
day We saw him come out OF the hotel,
aud guessed he was Congressman from
Ohio; also remarked that he had the stat
urc OF. and rcsembcd our Jim Blaine very
much. We were quite surprised, few
minutes later, To- learn that it WAS Tom
Ewing. who we understand Is a full cousin
To- Elaine. Whatever his political ideas
IRE, he is 4 splendid looking gentleman.
LcadNille has it-, share Of Eastern tour
lists; the hotels are crowded all tho time.
The charge for board is three and four
dollars per day at the leading hotels. We
40 au. hoard We are housekeeping And
hy the way, housekeeping on the Colorado
plan, is we'll calculated 10 make the aver
age Yankee ''larf" a. our Artemus would
say. \ tin stove with two lengths Of fun
mel, q frying pan and wash basin, are arti-
Gle, most ne cdcd, and with those one eau
Go right smart" Job at housekeeping.
