LETTER FROM COLORADO.
Special Correspondence.

LEADvILLE, Col August II, 1882.
The impression prevailing to some
extent in the East that Leadyille
is played out and soon to be
numbered with the things of the past
is an erroneous one. 1t is true that
the fe7erish excitement of the early
discoveries, and the enormous speeu-
lative tendencies following tbereupon,
have mostly passed away, but the
yield of ore here is still on the in.
crease and new mines are being
opened up almost daily. More than
one-half the total product of bullion in
the State for 1881, which was nearly
S24,000,000, came out of these hills
and holes round about Leadville, and
it is estimated that nearly SIS, 900, 900
have been taken out during the first
six months Of this year. 1t is not
surprising that the wonderful wealth
and extent of the silver deposits that
have been found 10 this region ; the
new field that has been opened to
mining industry wherever the carbon
ates may hereafter be found the
novel character of the ore; i ease
With which it is reduced; the sudden
wealth acquired by some of those who
first came here and invested little
money; the Aladdin-like growth of
the camp into city, and the intense
excitement in the midst of which
every one here lived, should nave
turned the heads Of people and caus-
ed them to give currency to reports
concerning the prospects of LeadVille
which we're exaggerated and have not
been realized. Yet the truth about
it reads like novel. Every one here
at one time had the fever and there
is a good deal of it still left. To
mingle for few days with the crowds
that throng the corridors Of the Clar
endou Hotel and other loa6ug places !;
to hear the fabulous tales of rich
strikes and of prospect holes which
could have been bought yesterday for
800 and are held to day for $4,000 !;
to be introduced to men who a year
or two age were peDuiless ADD looking
about for somebody to furnish them
coarse food and set tools with which
to dig a hole in the mountain for
luck but who to-day are reputed to
be millionaires; to hear the careless
way in which men in blue flannel
shirts and cow.hide boots talk Of hun
dreds of thousands or million Of
dollars, is enough to set any one crazy
who is not perfectly self-possessed Or
did not come here determined not to
get excited no matter what hap.

bidding gambling, no effort is made
to euforce either. The doors Of these
places stand vide open day and night,
and everything is done to attract the
notice of passers-by, just as if the
business was a legitimate one, pro-
tected by Law. There is no preteuse
of elegance in any of the gambling
houses which I have visited, as there

from ten cents to 81 each and the
bets rarely exceed IS. In the day
time the gambling ssloous of Lead
vile are almost deserted, but at night
and on Sundays they are constantly
thronged.
While the pioneers of the mining
camp have left their impress upon the
character of Leadville, the refined,
educated, law-abiding people who
have come here from the East have
kept control Of things, and made the
city remarkable for the good order
that is maintained and the general
safety of life and property. Of those
whose first experience in mining
camp has been obtained in LeadVille
larger proportion are men of educa-
tion OF former wealth than ever assem-
bled in any other mining centre in
the early days Of its history. Of the
young and most euterprising men who
are in business, holding positions
about the mines or prospecting on
the neighboriag hills, not few are
fresh from college or from professional
studies, and lawyers, physicians and
teachers may found here engaged in
almost every branch of business. The
influence of men of this class is seen in
the organization of such institutions
as the police force-a splendid body
of uniformed men who would not dis
grace the Broadway Squad, of New
York ; 10 the establishment of fire.
companies, the introduction Of the
Holly system of water-Works, the
organization Of gas company
and the establishment: of schools.
Men pass here for what they are, and
not for what they have, how they sic
dressed or where they were born. No
body cares who mans grandfath er
was,. or Of what State be is q native.
No one can afford to treat another
with contempt because he is unfor-
tunate; the wheel may turn over and
the poor man of to-day may become
the millionaire of tomorrow. Such
things have been common in Lead
vile. In my next I will give you
something about the mines in this
vicinity. Spot.
