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. Poxes—the most valuable
of which Is the silver grey—badgers; cayotes,
immense hares—which turn white in the win
ter season—and a variety of other animals
an to be fodnd'ln this traot, among the
things that burepw in theearth. :
Arrived At' Denver; we ? naturally: inquired"
into the reasons for locating a city so far from
the oonfiaea of civilisation, and why has it
sustained so unprecedented a growth. 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.
