| Carleton and the sheriff says that he be-
lieves this package has reached its owner
in any case its destination-untl the State
orders him to release it.
One reader of The journal who was
| specially interested in the article Cup
Pixies Peak" in last weeks issue was Nh
G, d. McCrillis of Belfast who, with Cap
tain T0lforl Durham and his brother, Fred
j. Durham, of Monroe, and Edwin C. KIM
bail of Belfast, started for Pixies Peak in
80. The party went from here to Iowa,
| where a brother OF MI. McCriiliS resided
and where they fitted out an OK team for the
long trip across the plains. They were
joined by seven Iowa men, and the party of
eleven crossed the States of Iowa and
Nebraska, where the problem of getting
across the Mississippi confronted them.
Mr.. McCrillis favored going fifty miles
| downstream to the ferry but the majority
of the party wanted to ford. When this
| was found to be impossible where they
were they decided to try it farther north.
! While the party were camped for the night
a cyclone came up and destroyed most of
their belongings and equipment. This did
! what the hundreds of returning parties
they had met had not done-dseouraged
them, and the party divided, Mr.. NcCrillis
being one of those who returned home 1t
had been Mr.. McCrllis' intention to take
up a claim in the little camp where the city
of Denver now is and 90 into trade Had
he been able to carry out this plan he
doubtless would have made his 'spile" in
few years. Mr.. McCrills kept a journal
while on the trip and the descriptions of
the adventures met with during the 500
mile journey by oX-team certainly would
make interesting reading.
