month of April the material reached
Alamosa, but owing to the deep snow
at this camp, it was not forwarded un-
tn nearly Z month later. when Mr..
Lacey brought it to Gunnison CITY,
where he was met by Mr.. Phillips, who
had crossed the range over Moscow
pass in wagon several weeks before.
And right here trouble commenced.
The city was crowded with people
and freight awaiting transit to RUBY
Camp, the delay being caused BY
heavy snow and unbroken roads, in the
mountains. We stored our material
and rested IN Gtmnison a week, and
We were very weak at the end of that
time.
After this we were not afraid to en-
counter mountains of snow, so, at the
end of week, hired an OK team to
haul our material to the "snow line"
which was at Kings ranch. This trip
occupied six days and, cost nearly
as much as the entire outfit. At this
point we halted and commenced the
manufacture Of sleds and snow shoes
for use in further travel. BY the as
sistance of friends we finally got our
material into Irwin, as described by
MIR. Crofntt in his G,zt-Saik," as
follows:
When each was provided with shoes,
the printing material was distributed
among the persons, when with type in
pockets, parts of hand press under
each arm, ceases and paper strap
ped on their backs. the journey across
the great mountain range commenced.
Ehe ascent was made, many times at
All angle of forty-iive degrees, and the
descent commenced, the typos gliding,
gracefully down on their snowshoes,
over an unknown depth of snow, in a
style peculiarly western, eyincing
pluck, energy and perseverance, Amer

were without shelter for many weeks,

The funding bill, as 1t passed the house OF
representatives with the various amendments
to the original bill that came from the COM
mittee on ways and means, has gone to tne
senate. How the democratic senators may

The expressions of opinion advanced in the

the opinion that majority OF them wiz
favor three per cent. bond, to run, say Ter
llfty wears, redeemable st the option of the
government after twenty years Some re-
publicsR senators do not think a three pc
cent bond can be iloated at par,and therefore
favor three and half per cent We do not
agree with them. The experience Of the
government with the four per cent. bonds,
which went off SO rapidly-indeed there was
almost clamor for thenl--is an earnest 10
us that three per cent. will find most ready
sale. We are not prepared to say that iitty
years is too long for them to run, but then
would it not bo good idea to make them ire
deemahle in ten years at the pleasure OF the
government? If the country retains it's
present prosperity for ten years, it will BEAM
ply able to pay off these bonds in ten years,
for according to the secretary Of the treasu-
rvs report, tho excess Of revenue over ex-
penses averages SloOOoOOOO per annum
now, and such yearly surplus will easily
enable tho government to redeem these
bonds in ten years.

that the public may know that it is our
misfortune and not our fault that our papers
