The manager of the

\ 70 50 excessive. Inc manager OF the
mine, Mr.. Rolker, Is doing all in his power
to extinguish the lire. The working por-
ton OF the mine Is looking better today
than at any time since last August, and
there Is being more ore shipped than at
any time during the past ten months.
The aftermath and climax OF stem mile
was sold July Is, for the snug little sum
of S250,0o0. The greatest placer mine In
Colorado is the Van wagsneu, near Twin
Lakes, sixteen miles from here. II covers
over t,ceIre hundred acres. James G. Blaine
is prominent stakeholder, and is, be-
lieve, Treasurer of the company. Mr..
Blaine is also stakeholder in the Chryso-
lite.
The former wife of Guiteau, the assas-
sin, is living here in Leadville, at lS6 -
East Second ST. She was married few
years since to man by the name of Dun
mire, in Boulder, Colorado, and year or
two ago they moved to this town. Mrs.
Dunmire is said 10 be smart and intelli-
gent lady, very much above her present
husband in learning, and 1t was the won
der OF her friends in Boulder that she
should marry one so much below her men,
tally. Mr.. Duumire is dealer in wood,
and is considered an honest, hard working
man, though he is quite ignorant Mrs.
Brown, 4 friend of mine, who lives on
Hemlock Street. was well acquainted with
them both when they lived in Boulder.
You will remember in one OF my letters OF
last year, said that Leadyille caught most
everybody. So it does. lis wonder it
did not catch Guiteau himself
Everybody here is pleased that the Pres
ident is Improving, with the prospect that
he will fully recover. 1t is safe 10 say
that fifty millions of people love their
country: that they love their President. .
and above all, they love the principles that
he represents. And God help the wretch
that would shoot the life's blood from the
best government that ever saw the light OF
day.
+. E. Snelbaker'S variety troupe have
just closed weeks engagement at the
Grand Central They must have done a
good business, for they paid for tlrst-class
tickets between here and San Francisco,
the sum of one thousand, seven hundred
and twenty-five dollars.
The largest tonnage ever handled by the
railroads running into Leadyille was done
In the month Of June last. The receipts
were S7,949. 80 tons, and the number Of
tons forwarded from Leadville was 20, us9,
0>9. SO you see there must necessarily
De come business In Leadville.
Mr. Stuart Lindsey, who has been gone
from the Chrysolite two months past,
returned last Friday, 18th. Mr. Lindsey
has had charge OF smelters at "Spruce
Mountain aud Hot Greek, Nevada. lie
does not Ike the country, so he has re-
turned and will probably settle in Lead
vile. Glad 10 see you. Stuart.
We are pleased that GOV. Dinsley is
nominated 10 III Mr.. Frye's place in Con
srrsS. Hope he will be elected. lie will
De an honor to the State and the country.
No State can show better team In the
Cabinet and in Congress than can the good
old State Of Maine. IL you can't raise
quite 20 much wheat aud corn there, you
can raise brains that beat the world.
The appointment OF Hon. Hannibal Ham
lin a. minister TO Spain by the President,
must be very pleasing 20 his many friends
all over the country. II shows that he
who was first lieutenant 10 that good man,
Mr.. lincoln, Is not forgotten. We hope
Mr.. Hamliu may live many years, TO do
honored service for his country.
