Following the oonrse of the Fountains qul Boilfo towards its source, a distance of about thirty miles, we leave the river and commence the ascent of the u Divide.’ 1 The crossing of this " Divide” ooOupies three days with ox teams. The first i oamping plaoe—known as Jim’s oamp, from the olroumstanoe of a- Mexican by the name of Jim hiving been murdered there while camping for the night— is a short days travel, the distance being only about twelve, miles from the . base. 1 At this plaoo a beautiful easeade of! dear, cold water, about sight feet high, gives to the emigrant* bountiful supply of that mueh abused fluid, while the oedars and pines that dot the moun tain side famish him with faeL Pursuing a northerly oonrse, wo pass Black Squirrel creek—the place where Harey’i eemmand, while on a march Irom New Mexico to Port Laramlo, were overtaken by a 1 terrible snow storm on the 22d day of lB5B, during which tlx men, and about one hundred and eighty head of moles were frozen to death and after haring traveled about 1 twenty, miles; we reaoh ,r Point of | Rocks,” now better known as M Mike Pagan's Grave,” from the olroumstanoe of a man by the name of Pagan (one of those mentioned above as having been frozen) being burled here. An easy days travel now brings yon to the head waters of Cherry oreek, tost mythical Pao tolas, whose golden sands were to pour wealth into the lap of many a poor deluded victim, whose brilliant imagination, caused him to think that here was a mine of wealth without labor. Following the fertile valley of Cherry Creek in a northerly direction, a distance of forty miles, we arrive at Denver City. Before entering into a description of Den ver and its surroundings, Ist ns briafly review the ground over whioh we have passed. A strip of land bordering on the' Missouri, and extending back a distanoe of about one fide dred and fifty miles, containing every element of a first class farming oountry, presents itself to the consideration of persons desiring a home. Leaving this, we pass over a belt nearly six hundred miles in width, whioh,'ait present, is called by many a desert, and which can be put to no oonoeivable uie, unless • 00a! fields; gypsun and marl beds should bo disoovored and worked. This may be' the ease before many years, as some of eaoh has already been found. Stunted grass, grease wood, soap weed, oaotui, mock orange, and other rootsi the use of whioh .is only known to tho wild tribes who inhabit tiiese solitude* are indigenous, to this section. Very fre quently we pass the villages of the prairie dog covering hundreds of acres, and resound ing with the sharp bark of these Uttie animals. We find a very erronlous Impression existing in the minds ef many in regard to these coni* minors. They do notatail resemble a dOg, bat are so palled from the bark, with which they greet'a stranger. Their shape is that of a very Urge rat, having a caudal appendage similar to that of the gronnd squirrel, and when alarmed they invariably ran to the en trance ot their dormitories, ‘ and erecting themselves upon.their hind legs, send forth, their sharp note of warning, accompanying esch'bark, with a jerk'of the tail., Having caught two by driving them out of their holes with water, the writer knows from actual 'ex perience that they are easily tamed. Their bite is not poisonous, as has been asserted by some; No doubt but.that this Impression has arisen from the faet.that they inhabit the same hole with the rattle snake,. end! the prairie owl. Bat this# with the little fellow, is an aot of sheer necessity. In the construc tion of hit house, he bnUds three dhaabert,' one for himself, one for tho shako, and one lor the owl, but unfortunately for him, ser pents have been the aaao erer since the days of father Adam, always toeklng whom they may devour, and it is hot hnfrtqpiatJy the ease that the mother dog may aeooonW 0 * enlargement of hie saaxeships abdomen by looking to her brood, irom which she will find one missing. Serpents,like republios, always were ungrateful.

Some time in the Spring of 1858, a .Delaware In dian, by the name of Pall Leaf, oame into Lawrence; Kahns; with eome beautiful spo dmehi of gold*wttieh/he .said,_hej had ob tained from a rpringifound iu thezaouhtmlni withln fifty miles of' Pike’s • Peak, j Be was offered a liberal sum to guide a to the. spot, but intent upon gibed, demanded such an exorbitant reward, that p party known afterwards as' the Lawrenod party— was formed, determined to seek the! predoui metal themselves. A Mrs. Holme* aooompa nied her husband upon tbit expedition;' and ehe it was who wrote the beautiful letter from the summit of Pike’s Peak, that was so eag-' erly read by hundreds during the summer of ’5B. ’Five days were oomumed by their party in making the aioentand descent. At the time of the organiaation.of the Lawrence party, a company of Georgians, headed by Green Rus sell, were also on their way to the mountains in seareh of the preoious mineral, ButselT. having, while passing through thiscountry!in 1850 on his way to California, observed indi cations that warranted the belief that gold existed on the eastern slope of the mountains. These oompanios .were distinct—one not even knowing or the exlotance of the other, and did not meet until the fau of '5B, when they apparently consolidated, the! Georgians set tling at tht mDuth of Cherry Creek and losa ting W-town called Auraria, ahd the Lawrenoe : party locatinga town five mllek'farthar up the platte; which they called Montana.
