The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1882-02-15

Senator II. p. Hin, Of Colorado, he's
this year taken the house formerly O.
cupied BY Secretary Evarts, and con-
tinues the traditions Of the stately man.
sion by the constant and generous hos
pitality dispensed there. The life OF
this wester1 millionaire h ~ powerful
In all it's teachings % that OF any man
of his prominence, and though 1t lack
some Of the humber and more pathetic
circumstances from which great men
spring superior, it Is no less story OF
constant and unceasing effort and study,
crowned by final success. The hard
study of his youth, his earlier work az
tutor and Professor Of Chemistry In
Brown University, were preparations
for the serious and practical work that
has achieved for him his immense and
steadily increasing fortune. The young
professor was in no way daunted by the
puzzled and impOssibilities in smelling
and reduction of ores, and after one Wis.,
it to the west embarked for Europe, anu
labOred and studied in the works ut
Swansea. Wales, and at the famous col
lege ut Frieburg. SaxOny. Returning
home with full! confidence he assumed
control of the smelling works ut Black
Hawk. and later at ArgO, Colorado. and
carried to- satisfactory results his study
of years. The large works Mt Aryc have
already their fame among the mining
people and tourists, anil the lurid light
from their blazing clinlneys Eliminates
the sky ut hight, until seeing it from
Denver it has the appearance of vast
cOntlagrat;on. The leisure of Senator
Hills later years has been divided with
public affairs. and III his three winters
here he established most el,Siablc so
cial position in the capital. His wife l.
a tall and stately marion Of the hl"n L.
type, with u most speaking and animal
ted ceuntcn;,nce. and her vivacitv and
enjoyment OF the round Of her social
duties has made her Il great favOrite
here. Although both New Englan'lers
and devoted t. their old home. they are
loyalty and enthusiastically western.
aud rs proud -: their wonderful Stale
as any m 1t and adnliring tourists could
desire. Their solid and stately house
in Denver il the gathering place. FOR all
the celebrities Of the summer ss,:lsOn,
and 10 one Of prominence visits the
State without being in some way enter
tanned hy these indefatigablc hosts.
This year Mrs. Hill has with her a pref
~ daughter with golden hair, blue eyes
and the pure blonde freshness Of sevell-
teen. Instead of making her debut this
year, Miss Hill is kept in the wise but
almost jealous st'clusiOn III u French
nlatlemOiselle, and. except ut her moth
er's afternoon receptions. is scarcely
seen by the social world. The quiet AMI
pretty young girl is much admired In
the pleasant Surroundings Of her own
home, and in the crowds that fill her
mothers parlOr on Thursday afternoon,
she gets u fair taste Of the life she is to
enter in another season. With the tact
Of true entertainer, Mrs. Hill has al-
ways surrounded herself with group
Of young lady guests, and with he:
nietes and young friends from Colorado
and New England, has made fair
stand against the army Of young ladies
from Ohio, VINO have stOrlnetl the city
for 80 many seasons. Miss Slaylnaker,
Of Denver, has visited her for three win
tiers and assisted in the duties and en-
jOyn,ents If ssNiety, and various pretty
and talented young girls have rallied
about her with an admiration and
friendship second only to the popularity
that Mrs. Hayes had with her host If
young people. Dinner parties, ladies'
lunches and lnusicalt.s are the chief
ways in which Mrs. Hill entertains, and
her talents and means enable her to
make her house more truly attractive
on these occasions than ly giving any
more elaborate or extensive affairs.
