There are 40 mountains in Colorado
whose peaks are over $4,000 feet above
the ocean level. Forty of these are
higher than $4,000 feet, and more than
half of that number are so remote
ana rugged that no one has yet dared
to attempt to climb them. They are
us unique as those Of Switzerland, ana
as fearful as the Alps in the warming
they offer to the men or women who
are so hardy rs to defy them by start

the scale Of human intelligence until it
is said these people eat snakes, toaGs
and other reptiles. They use n peculiar
jargon, many expressions resembling
the clucking of hens and the unpleasant
noises made by bclligereut geese. Their
hair is somewhat kinky, but stands out
nearly straight, giving them n very
fgightful appearance. They live out In
the open air, except in very unpleasant
weather, when they crawl into rude
caves or dugouts, rocking with filth and
vcrmin. Many of them are afflicted
with sores, and are deformcd or cross
eyed. They arc TOO lazy to be mean,
but the very sight OF them is sickening.
and they are Stunned like lcpcrs. a

them something like human comforts.
They have many children, and their Off

Gold in the Olympics.

Poets have sung in raptures ecstatic
VI the all-inspiring range Olympic;
vi the purple mists that caress their side
And soft, feecy clouds that over them glide;
OF lofty peaks clothed with eternal snow.
And proud forms outlined in the sunset glow
But none have dreamed of the treasures that Lie
So securely hidden from the human eye
In the myriad streams that rush and lean
Adown their broad canyons rugged and steep.
Beneath mountains of ice and purest snow,
And way down to their very base, we know.
For the Indian tells in his story and lay
How in the time of the old Hudson Bay
Gold was taken out of the foothills there
And given in exchange for the traders ware
Whisky and tobacco, blankets and beads,
In fact everything to supply the needs
OF DISTINGUISHING and ill-starred race.
To hurry their downfall and hasten disgrace
But distance lends enchantment" as of old
To the fevered searchers after gold
They will explore the mountains of Canada,
Pierce the jungles of far-off Africa,
Seek Alaska's bleak and desolate shore,
When the gold lies here at our very door,
Waiting to be released at last from the soil
And flow through the channels of honest toll.
Then will prosperity's wave surely be
Surging on the shores of this inland sea-
But the mountains stand like sentinels old,
Still guarding their treasure of shining gold;
Stand in their eloquent silence, and grim
AS ever they've stood through centuries dim;
AS they will stand as cycles roll away
And we have gone back to Wondering clay
