Especial Corrospondencc,l
Letter From Colorado.

LEADvILLE, COL, August IL, 1882
1t is not an easy task to adequately
describe this, the most wonderful Of all
mining towns. There is nothing like
it in Colorado, or anywhere else, and
with all that has been written concern
ing it, only those who have been here
to see for themselves have n very cor
rect idea of the place. Though the
rapidity of its growth is not such as it
was three and four years ago, when the
Leadvillc excitement swept the entire
land, yet it is still wonder, growing
and constantly changing. 1t has from
the first been like a kaleidoscope in the
suddenncss of its transformations,
though its colors were of the simplest
kind, and of the most soWbre, too. In
tho early days entire streets were
opened up, built upon and settled with
in week, and even now stores, hous-
es, log cabins, and hotels spring up
suddenly, side by side. There is an
opera house constructed out of rough
pine boards, with its dress circle and
gallery, and looking for all the world
like an unfinished livery stable. There
are also variety theatres where the ille-
gltimate drama fourishes to the delight
of sturdy miners. Two years ago there
was but one church and one school
house here and the principal hotel was
two story frame building with neat
gables and an imitation mansard roof.
The office of this hosiery is about six
feet wide by sixteen long, and was evil
IDENTIFY not planned for the aceommoda-
ton of loafers. That large class of the
population are given room in the bar
and billiard hall opening from the
office. A solitary barber plies his oc-
cupation at one end of the same apart
ment, charging 25 cents for shave
and so for q hair cut. The Grand has
in its day turned away from so to 100
people day over and above all it could
accommodate with lodgings. Leadville
has never been a particularly religious
place, and even in the days when there
was only one church to 10000 inhab-
itants an audience of so worshippers
was about the average. have been
told about the following notice posted
in the old church, but have not seen
it: "Please do not shoot the organist;
he does his best" In the general char
acter of the place there has not been
much change from what it was from
the first, except that the evidences of
haste are not so plentiful and the build
ings are better and more substantially
built and there is little more of the
atmosphere of permanency. But all
details I might give would after all af-
ford the reader little idea of Leadville
as it is, or its surroundings as they ap-
pear to the actual observer. Spot.
