GEOGRAPHY OF erNNrsoS COUNTY.

From a geographical standpoint, GunuisOn
county, occupying fully one-third of the terri
tory of Colorado west of the continental divide,
and the central third Of that grand division, is
most interesting. From the continental divide
its decline is abrupt and sudden, though inter-
esting peaks and ranges suddenly rise and fall
until, in the southwest, the wonderful I'm
eonpahgre Plateau is reached. There flows
tho beautiful Rio Dolores on the south
and the Gunnlson River on the north,
hurrying TO join the Grand, which unites
with the impetuous river Green, tumbling
down from the northwest county, TO FORM
in Utah, the wonderful Colorado River,
which Major Powell tells us in his survey
drains, with its tributaries, a region of country
eight hundred miles in length, varying from
three TO five hundred in width, containing
about 100000 square miles. an area larger than
all New England and Middle States with
Maryland and Virginia added or as large as
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, and Mis-
souri, Tho Green River has its sources among
the Alpine lakes and hot sulphur springs of
Routt county, and tho Grand River in the
picturesque regions of Middle Park, on the
topmost summit OF the Pacific slope The rich
Elk Mountains, trendiag northwest are in
Gunnison county, together with the Crested
Butte, an awful and portcntious peak, to which
branch road ruas from Gunnison since the

YESTERDAYS FIRE.


The planning mill of Johnson, Danley & Co., at
the west end of Market street, near the river,
caught fire yesterday afternoon, about $50
O'Clock, and was partially destroyed. The fire
originated by the dropping of match by Oliver
Johnson, son of the senior proprietor, into
vat where wheels were colored by the dipping
process. AS the dip contained a large quantity
OF benzne and other inflammable substances, it
blazed up in fash, and the whole of the var
nishlng department, which was on the floor next
to the roof, was instantly in flames. Young John
son was the only person in that part of the
odlldlng at the time, and he came near being
su1ocated by the flames before he could escape
from the room. The alarm was turned in
promptly, but the whole upper part of the
building was enveloped in flames and the roof
had burned before the fire department could
reach the place. They did very effective
troll. The principal damage was to the building,
WDlch is frame structure, the fire not reaching
the machinery, which is nearly all the
lower floors: The loss is estimated at
$4,000, and the mill is valued at $4,000. 1t
was insured by the agency of cleveland &
ADAMS as follows: In the Queen. of England,
$l,OOO; Scottish Union and National, 81, 800;
Indiana Fire Insurance Company, $500; West
insurance Company, 81 900; Northern, of Eng
land, $1,000, and the Standard, of England,
Sd,o00. The building was insured for
$500; the machinery for SO, 200, and the stock
for 81 400, making total of $1,000. Oliver
Johnson, the boy who is supposed to have acci-
deDtally dropped lighted match into the dip
ping vat claims that he had no match about
his person, and that flame flashed up from the
vat when he was not standing near it, Accept
ing his story as true, the theory is that the fire
was the result of conclusive explosion.

ton of its agencies will give ample facilities for

guarantee that the Hawkeye is right up to the

tion, The head of the department has ample

"A special from tewistown to the

Reed Alexander, near Milroy. From
points CLEANED it appears that Alexand-
er asked Mr.. Longwell, ST., the owner
of the farm, for the privilege Of picking
a bucket of raspberries off the bushes
on the land. Permission was granted
him. 1t happened that the farm was
tenanted by his son, Samuel LongWell.
He was not aware of the favor granted
Alexander and when lie saw him with
his bucket he at once ordered him off
the place. Alexander refused tn obey.
Sharp language was used between them
when Longwell picked up piece of
fence rail and struck Alexander across
the head. He fell to the ground and
Longwell fled. The injured man was dis
covered by another gentleman to whom
he was just able to tell who his as
sailant was. A few moments later he
died.
