Conespendence et the Ictkixieexcei:.
Lcadville, Colerado, May 27, 1SS0.
While the citizens of your lovely little
city are sweltering 'neath the sultry rays
of the neon-day sun, we peer mortals
away in the heart of this carbonate camp
aie puzzling our brains for the best means
ei keeping out the celu. Situated at an
elevation of mere than ten thousand feet
above the level of the sea, Leadville resi
dences are net the most desirable. The
climate is ever changeable ; te-day being
quite warm and pleasant,te-morrow greets
two ineht s of snow. We were welcomed
te the town by a first-class Eastern miew
storm, and during our short stay here
hive witnessed .snow falls every day. As
spring is new epenin we leek for better
weather ere lern;.
Leadvillc i hiutated at the feet of Mos Mos Mes
quieo Range, in a beautiful mountain val
ley, at an altitude of 10,200 feet. On the
west the snow-capped peaks of the Reckies
proper, at the feet of which flew
the headwaters of the Arkansas river,
lend their beauty te the general attractive
ness of the place. Surrounded by these
lefty mountain ranges, the view from this
town, even taking into consideration its
altitude, is net very extended, though in
this peculiar atmespheie the range of vi
sion is almost limitless.
The population of Leadvillc, composed
as it is of people from all sections of the
universe, can scarcely be approximated,
though it is variously estimated at from
03,000 te 43,000. An important fea
tuie upon which te base one's
judgment in lcfercuce thereto, is
the fact that last year this city polled
mere votes than Denver, a city of 155,000
inhabitants. Upen the whole I would say
that Leadvillc is about the size of your
town. Although the people are mainly
miners and prospectors, every profession,
trade and business is well and largely rep
resented. Just new the town is in a furor
of excitement owing te the miners in nine
producing and paying mines, aggiegating
3,000 men, being out en a strike. The
movement originated in the celebrated
'Chryselyte" mine, one of the lichest
mines iu the whole carbonate district, and
is headed by one Michael Mooney, the
"Gicat Agitator," as he is teimed in this
camp, lie is supposed te be a '' Mol Mel
lic Maguirc " from Pennsylvania and a
mau of little brains. This action of the
miners has been brewing for some time
and only culminated yesterday. As yet
there has been no riotous demonstration,
and se far as we can learn none is antici
pated. A precession of about 2,500 miners
headed by a band of music and carrying
Hags and banners, marched up Harrison
avenue this morning. Although many
weie armed they were quiet and orderly,
behaving like men who believe in the right
aud have the courage te maintain it. Un
less speedy action is taken by the mine
owners, serious consequences may be
looked for.
Business of every class, from the peanut
vender en the street corner te the influen
tial merchant behind his counter, has
been booming ever since its re
covery after the failure of the "Little
Pittsburgh" mine, the mine out of which
Ex-Gov. T.vber, by the investment of
$50 in a "grub stake" made a million and
a half. The daily output of ero and pro
duct of bullion has been steadily en the
increase, and it has confidently been be
lieved that by the time the extension of
the D. & It. G. railway reaches here,
about the first of July, the product would
at least be doubled ; but should the strike
be piolengcd, cither by stubborn miner or
obstinate capitalist, nothing but the entire
prostration and stagnation of business
could be the result. As this is thoroughly
a mining town all business is dependent
upon the working and development of the
mines.
The richest and best paying mines arc
situate en Fryer and Carbonate hills ;
among them being the "Chryselyte,"
" Little Pittsburg, " "Aimic," "Morning
Star," "Evening Star" and "Little
Chief. "
Through the kindness of Mr. Bcntlcy,
superintendent of the "Morning Star,"
it was my great pleasure te descend the
shaft of this celebrated mine and
thoreugly explore its ground workings.
Situated en Carbonate hill this is the
richest mine in sand carbonates, with
here aud there a vein of native silver, in
the whole of this wonderful mineral
deposit. The descent, 150 feet in the per
pendicular and main shaft, is made in a
bucket, let down by steam power. Frem
the bottom of this shaft, ei the top of the
incline, as it is new generally called, wc
descend a distance of about 230 feet
farther en feet, exploring te our heart's
content the many drifts and leads branch
ing elf in every direction from the main in
cline. The immense deposit of the precious
metal glistening in the light of our miners'
candles was beautiful te beheld. The ex
perience being se entirely new te me it
was of the greatest interest. Away down
four hundred feet under the earth, in the
midst of untold wealth of silver, clad in
the rough and tallow-spotted garb of the
miners, bearing in our hand the mineis'
candle provided us, groping our
way through inky darkness te some
especially rich deposit, all combined te
make our journey one of thrilling excite
ment and indescribable pleasure. The
beds of mineral in this mine are truly won
derful, millions of dollars worth of the
metal being in sight. With this they arc
new doing nothing, continual prospecting
occupying all their hands and time.
But enough of mines and mining.
Te the newly arrived, or "underfoot,"
as a recent arrival is patronizingly refer
red te by the sturdy miner and corduroy
covered prospector waiting fer a "grub
stake," Lcadville presents an appearance in
striking contrast te many eastern towns.
Wc reached here en Sunday, that day of
peaceful rest and quiet in "Ged's coun
try " as the East is called, and instead of
finding every store, saloon and shop closed
an unusual bustle and commotion was no
ticed. Hotels, taverns and drinking
houses were doing a rushing trade.
Gambling saloons ad infinitum, with doers
wide open, through which the click of
gambling checks and the hearse cry of the
" banker " sounded with doleful cadence
en the Sabbath air, were found en every
street and corner. Even the dry goods and
grocery stores weie open; but this, in a
measure, will seen be stepped, as I notice a
movement has been put en feet by the
better class of merchants te close at one
o'clock en Sundays. Hew sweetly that
sounds te a citizen of "Ged's country," a
" tenderfeet."
Sunday is the gala day of the camp,
nerse racing, feet racing and rifle shoot sheet
ing are largely indulged in, and iu the
evening the doers of the numerous thea
tres and dance houses are thrown openLte
the amusement-loving, pleasure-seeking
people.
There is, however, another and better"
side te life iu Leadville ; and though
greatly in the minority, bears noticeable
impeitance. I mean the church-going
people. Services are held at three differ
ent places en Sunday, aud the buildings
arc literally crowded. Literary societies
are quite numerous among their members,
many of strong intellect and talent.
A free reading room has lately been
eixnied by the efforts of Rev. T. J. Mackcy
the talented and popular rector of St.
Geerge's Episcopal church. This gentle
man is also an indefatigable laborer in the
cause el temperance. lielteving that total
abstinence can euly be reached step by
step, he takes his first by endeavoring te
organize an anti-trcating society. " Suc
cess te his efforts," is the voice of many,
though in this town wc dare scarcely hope
for much geed result.
Sickness is very prevalent iu this coun
try, owing no doubt te the elevation, the
atmosphere and the lack of proper knowl
edge of hew te clothe one's self. A genci
al coughing en every street is noticeable.
Pneumonia is largely in the ascendent ;
a peculiar disease called " no money" al
most keeps pace with it.
. The cost of living in Leadvillc is sim
ply enormous. Bearding and lodging
costs anywhere from $10 te $50 p r
week. Reems without beard command
from $3 te 613 per week. Rents are very
high all ever town. One apple and peanut
vender whom I questioned in reference te
the amount of rent he had te pay for his
little corner, quietly answered : " Only
$150 per month." And yet this is a great
country. In my next 1 shall endeavor te
give you an account of my trip through the
Platte River Canen by moonlight, and
my perilous and exciting ride el 45 miles
by stage fi ein Bucua Vista te Leadvillc.

The Ulp'reekcf.
New Yeik Times.
What is known among taileis as the
"hip-pocket" is exclusively a characteris
tic of the American species of man.
Mr. Withers is net a Western man aud
is wholly unacquainted with whisky ; but
his recent experience of the incompati
bility of hip-pockets and glass bottles was
very painful and embarrassing. He had
returned te his Orange county home from
a biief visit te New Yerk and had brought
with him as a present for Miss Wilsen te
whom he was betrothed a bottle of that
.remarkable cement which is sold by side
walk merchants, and which is by them
represented as being much stronger than
wrought iron. It had occurred te him that
this cement would be a very nice thing te
have in his future house, since with it all
sorts of broken china and glass could be
mended, aud every oue knows that chil
dren will break a great deal of china. On
the evening of his arrival home he put the
bottle of cement in his hip-pocket and
called en Miss Wilsen, intending te offer it
te her as seen as he entered the house.
Mr. Withers was ardently attached te
the young lady, and when he saw her be
fore him he net unnaturally forget all
about such merely earthly matters as
cement. The old people welcomed him
politely, and after a few moments of con
versation, withdrew with a discretion
which it is te be wished that all old people
would emulate. Being of a frugal mind,
and knowing that the merciful young man
should be merciful te his intended father-in-law
in point of kerosene bills, Mr.
Withers promptly turned down the lamp
and proceeded te make himself at home.
1 he bottle was a stout one, and would
pcihaps have withstood any ordinary pres
sure, but as Miss Wilsen weighed fully
140 pounds, and as the back of the small
rocking chair was of hard weed, it is net
strange that the bottle yielded. Mr.
Withers was se much interested in the
weather and ether objects, such as usually
absorb the attention ei young men in his
position, that lie did net notice the break
ing of the glass, aud it was net until an
hour later that a false alarm of " father iu
the front hall," induced Miss Wilsen te
flee te the sofa, aud suggested te Mr.
Withers the advisability of turning up the
lamp.
The cement had done its work, and Mr.
Withers did net get up te the light, but
requested the young lady te discharge
this duty for him. She did se, and then
noticed his painful and preoccupied ex
pression. Te her anxious inquiries he ad
mitted that he felt a little faint and would
like a glass of water. Miss Wilsen hur
riedly went for the water, reproaching her
self for being se heavy, and accusing her
self of selfishness aud want of considera
tion. In her absence the young man made
superhuman efforts te wrench himself
loose, but the cement refused te yield.
When Miss Wilsen returned with the
glass of water, he looked se much worse
that she was really frightened, and he was
compelled te tell her the real state of the
case.
She was a practical person, and she
promptly proposed te get iu a tiu-kcttlc of
het water and dissolve the cement, but
desisted when he explained te her that his
system would net bear the application of
water at the boiling point. She then
timidly suggested that if she were te call
pa, perhaps pa might lend you a pair ;
but Mr. Withers said no ; he could net
bear the mortification of being found in
such a situation by any father. It was
finally agreed that he should wait te a
later hour, and should then take the chair
home with him. This was accordingly
done, and had net the unfortunate young
man been arrested by a local constable,
who only discharged him when a severe
test proved that his possession of the chair
was purely involuntary, his misfortune
might never have become generally known.
When disasters such as this are liable te
happen te the wearers of hip-pockets it be
comes doubtful whether they are net
altogether tee hazardous for general use.
In fact, geed authorities maintain that the
hip-pocket is positively detrimental, and
that an earnest and united effort should be
made le secure its extirpation.

The Mayer's Messajc.
New Era, Uep.
In commending the police as a sober,
industiieus and reliable body of men, who
execute their duties faithfully and prompt
ly, the mayor throws a brick or two into
the garden of our local judiciary, which
might be a cause of disbarment if Mr.
MacGenigle was a member of the bar,
which, fortunately for himself, he is net.
It is evident that the "policy" of Mayer
MacGenigle and Judge Patterson, in deal
ing with the rowdy element, does net run
in the same rut, and every intelligent citi
zen is competent te judge for himself which
rat is likely te carry the machinery of jus
tice te the best results for society.
This message, notwithstanding its
length, should be carefully read and its
suggestions impartially considered by citi
zens and taxpayers independent of all par
tisan bias. We are all interested in secur
ing the best pessible municiple govern
ment, and it is of far less importance from
which party suggestions of improvement
may come than that there should be im im
pievcment in whose benefits all may share.

Prayers for Candidates.
Many of the New Yerk clergymen last
Sunday indulged in prayers in behalf of
the Chicago and Cincinnati conventions,
that they would be ruled te a wise pur
pose and nominate geed men. Beecher
among the rest jeinediu the supplications,
and prefaced his petitions with some racy
remarks :
. I don't think at this time we have any
reason for apprehension. I hope for the
best things. I don't think that if Benja
min F. Butler was president of the United
States the Lord would be scared a bit.
Even newspapers can't put a man down if
he has get anything iu him, and nobody
can destroy this nation but the nation
itself. If this nation is true te itself, te
its experience, and te the moral inspira
tions which belong te the people, we are
net going te be put down by this adminis
tration or that administration. There is
danger, but the danger has been in our sys
tem ever since wc have been a nation ;
and when wc arc a nation of angels there
won't be any scratching I held
that the politicians are worthy of their
bread and of their salaries, and we never
shall have a perfect government until we
have men trained te the business of politics,
attending strictly te their business. Se
long as the community is dead te all the
elements that go te constitute atiue gov
ernment, what felly it is te ask Ged te
make up all their faults by new putting
out his hand and "fixing " Chicago, " fix
ing" Cincinnati! Yet, there is no harm in
praying but if Ged answers your prayer
you will find it will be answered net at the
muzzle. It will kick back. Ged may give
you a bad government as the best way of
giving you a geed one. The red, perhaps.
is what you need, and net the sugar-plum

$1.U3 ; we ask j en te notice it.
27 inches, for stairs, 12 cents: it will
puzzle you te get it clsewheie at
23 cents.
These are few out of many. Our
.stock was never nearly m large;
and wc were never mere fortunate
in buying, cither as te choice or price.
The rise iu linens has carried every
body above us ; we alone are anchor
ed at low tide.
Linens are in the outer and ncxt-outer-circle
wcbt from the Chcstnnt
sticet entrance.
