HOWARD HAPPENINGS.
A Budget of News Concerning this
Lively Burg.
Plenty Of Hard Work Sandwlched
with Lots of Amusements.

HOWARD, Colorado, December 90, 1882
To THE EDITOR OF THE RECORD:
Nothing Of an exciting nature has dis
turbed the quiet OF our community since
my last. Business fair. Charcoal from
this place foots up about siNty-five cars per
month from J. w. Taylor & Co.'s kilns.
Barrett & Son have six kilns ready to be
gin shipments, as soon as the right market
is found.
The school house is completed and ac-
cepted by the directors, but will not be oc-
cupied until after the holidays. The build
ing makes very good advertisement for
this district. Barnum could not have done
better. The average passer by will Won
der what it is. Then will ask, what is
that building out there in the park ?o for
which curiosity will lead to further in
vestigation among the hills for the sup
porters OF so large an institution. Let me
say, right here it is the only way to find
us all. For instance Mr. Amy and Mrs.
Howard have each just completed two
story brick dwellings on their ranches,
which cannot be seen until you arrive near
them. j. A. Davis is putting one up on his
ranch on Stout creek, and rumor says more
will follow next summer.
There has been some talk of q town site
being laid out around the depot However
no definite action in the matter is reported.
Should the present activity in prospecting
develop something good in the way OF
mines, such project might not be amiss.
During the past two weeks many locations
have been made, and some of them show
up well for the work done. The only
question now is, will they hold out with
depth? This will be answered in a few
more weeks Capt. Morrison is pushing the
Jennie claim towards China, the last heard
from it was thirty-tive feet. AT thirty feet
this claim Will run an average of sixty per
cent. copper. Others are awaiting returns
from assays ON their locations, which ] will
endeavor to give in my next, 50 that you
may know what We have got. On the west
side of the river, Messrs. Hefron IL Barron
have tunnel in eighty feet on their iron
claim, and expect to strike something good
below the iron cap. They intend to put in
the winter on their mines here.
Mr.. William Stout and wife, have gone
east on visit to friends for the first time
since they came here, about twelve years
ago. Several of our citizens are at Cafion
on court matters.
The young folks seem to enjoy their tri-
weekly dances, judging from the pains
taken to be on hand. At the last one
Poncho sent down lumber wagon load, a
distance of seventeen miles. Now, if there
is any real pleasure in driving one-half day
to get to the place of amusement, then pay
81 for the privilege of dancing all night
with lady, to the music of single violin,
and riding home the next day, once or
twice week, 1 fail to see from whence it
is derived. Probably it is because i can't
dance, or take pride in belt with knife
and revolver strapped about me, any more
than hunter would in sitting in an Office
year after year. J.K.s.

The Indians of Alaska.

The number of aborigines in Alaska is

600. With regard to those in the inte-
riOr there is very meagre accurate knowl.
edge The obstacles in the way of a
thorough understanding of the nature of
this portion of the American possessions
and the number and character of the
natives are not great, either from the
cost of Quitting an exploring party.

When an Indian offers fur for sale
and the price has been arranged between
him and the purchaser, his kloochman,
or squaw, can veto the transaction. and
has to be consulted before the trade be-

amounts agreed upon for the different
kinds of furs seem very high to the
uninitiated On-lOoker. The purcha-
sers would lose money on the
goods if they paid coin. The Indians
shrewdness manifests itself only in
securing the promise of a high price.
They do not want money, but desire
articles out of the store. Their ignorance
of what this costs the dealer leaves them
