Among the famous mining camps are
the Tin Cup, Gothic. Crested Buttes.
Irwin, Buena Vista (Mexican pronun-
| citation, Wayne Veeta), Honevillle,
White Earth, Parlin, Pitkin, and the
Lord knows how many more (of which
more anon). So it is not hard to inn
agine the immensity of the future of
GunnIson, when it is known that she
will be the principal supplyer of these
and the thousand and one other min
ing camps of the county.
The Post-Office business of Gunni-
son is the third largest in the State
Denver and Pueblo only going ahead
it. The Office gives employment to
four clerks.
Gunnison county is the largest coun-
ty in the State, covering over 11,00O
square miles.
Coal, both bituminous and anthra-
cite, is found in immense quantities,
all over the county; the only difficulty
is transportation. The railroad, while
reaching great many mines, charges
such enormous freight rates; and the
mines not reached by railroad, and on
ly communicated with by wagon, make
transportation naturally high.
At present, coal companies are "cut-
ting" prices viciously, and bringing the
price within reason.
The Gunnison "river," like the
Tomichi, is a small stream at the
present tine-about II or Is feet wide
but in the spring, when the waters
are all high, it said to almost deserve
its name of river. ALI streams are
called rivers here.
In 1880 the census of Gunnison foot
ed up $50 inhabitants; at present it
foots up nearly four times as many,
and by the end of the present year it
will foot up four times as many inhab-
itants as there are at this time, if all
prophesies prove true.

animation two members of the BARI

A formal report to the Secretary of
War declares that our seaboard cities
are practically undefended. Every body
has known this for years, but it is pleas
ant to have the knowledge confirmed
by competent engineers. There are
about sixty so-calIed forts and other
"defenses" on the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts, the lakes and the Gulf of Mexi-
co. Without exception they are an
tiquated and good only to ae knocked
to pieces by solid shot, but they devour
public meuey all the same. Engineers
say that nothing less than l00-ton
guns, mounted in iron turrets and
worked by steam power, will be suffi-
cient protection against bombarbment
or tribute. But there is a better de-
fense than that-not go to war

The Removal of wooden Buildings.

OF late several frame buildings in the fire
limits have been moved 10 other points
within said limits, and as this is against the
ordinance, 1t creates comment and is likely
to cause dissatisfaction.
Section 4, chapter %, of the Revised Code
of ordinances reads as follows:
at shall not be lawful for any person to
move any wooden buildings within the fire
limits to any other place within the same,
nor elevate, nor make any addition TO, nor
cover any building now within the IRE
Limits, with shingles or other combustible
materials and any person so offending,
upon conviction before the mayors court,
shall be fined in any sum not over fifty dol,
lars and costs, and twenty-five dollars and
costs for each and every day thereafter that
such violation shall continue. Provided,
nothing in this section shall be so construed
as TO prevent any person from putting on
slight and unimportant repairs which may
be necessary 10 keep any building in good
condition. Provided, they first obtein per-
mission from the city engineer"

A Blind and Deaf Kentuckian.

Though Morrison Heady, of Kentucky, is
blind as bat and deaf as post, he is a
marvel of mechanical dexteriCy, of inven
tive genius and of clear and quick cogita-
ton. One seeing him walking the streets
of Louisville, with head erect and strong
tread, holding little boy by. the hand,
would not suspect his disabilities, nor
watching him at the counter OF hardware
store purchasing knife, wonld an observer
think anything of the matter, unless ne
hammered to note that the dealer spoke
no word, but only touched the hand OF The
customer. Among his inventions is
leather glove with the letters of the alpha
bet painted on it. You can talk to him as
fast as yod can touch those letters with the
end of your finger. Another. OF his lnven-
tions is mechanical writing machine,
with which he can write and others can
transcribe. The machine pricks its way
along the paper, and he can read his own
writing by the sense of touch. Others can
use the machine to write out for him any
thing not procurable in blind type, aud he
can read it with his fingers and indirectly
have acce.s TO the literary gems which
would otherwise be a sealed book to MN.
Usually blind man can hear, but it is
useless to read to Heady. HIS speech
is as clear and sharp as that OF
man of education, combined with
great force of will and perfect faculties.
Since he cannot hear himself speak
the fact is remarkable psychic puzzle-tor
the best of us learn accuracy of pronuncia;,
ton and distinclness of enunciation by dint
of long practice and study, educating our
selves by the aid of our ears and eyes.
Among his other accomplishments, this
man numbers the air of poetry. Several
years ago he published volume of poetry.
We have Just received pamphlet of TWEEN
ty pages containing some selections from
his unpublished compositions. At every
Joint he is master. Iambc pentameter
rolls fromhis machine as easily as iambic
tetrameter rippled from SCOTS pen. The
reader who has never seen THIS man
poetry will be incredulous, but n glance
down a few pages of heXameter will con-
Vince any one that Heady can write any
sort of poety he likes.-[New Orleans Pea

that it was headquarters for official society
