A Description of Cripple Creek by Jas. D.
Arnold.
Tho morning mm had only begun to
clisso away tho mints of tlio night, us I
stood mon tlm moiititiiin sldo viewing
HiIh great work of art by Hint master
of nil painters, ".luck Frost." Begin
ning at tln font hills In tlio vullcy whore
tin) front bad only touched tlio k'uvts
lightly, changing, nit tlicy ilo, from tlm
deep green to tlio rod and orange nml
some of tho leaves kIiiiiIimI with tho
most beautiful colorings, and yet in till
their beauty they toll us our mimmor in
dying. Like tho sweet faced bulie upon
whoso ehook tho dreaded fever linn loft
it MuhIi, yet tho Instinct of tho mother
tollH her It Ih tho fndinit nwny of tho
sweet flower. Below mo In tho valley,
just brushing from her eyes tho eoh
wolw of tho night, Ih tho bout advertised
city In tho world to-duy, "Cripplo
Crook," tho (folilcn. I hardly know
how to begin to describe to yon this
, cloud kissed city of tho west. Tho
boom-boom of explosions that you hour
upon every mUIo, ub bhiHt uftor blust
lots (jo with n mighty force, tcnrlng
from motlior earth tho treasure sho hns
hold for untold centuries, tho clung vt
steel upon stool sounding like the echo of
a fur away boll, as tho drill Is sent deep
er Into tho (old benrlng reek thnt hits
almost tho hardness of Htoel. Cripplo
Crook 1b tho heart of tho golden Kl
Dot ado and her 20,000 iuliabitanls live
10,400 fc.ot ubovo the seu. It is a city
In the clouds, and yet one of tho great
est mining cninps in tho world. A
. place where men hnvo gotten ns high
up as they can live, yet spend their
time In going down into the bowels of
tlio earth. It is n city of no particular
lionuty In itself, but it Is set in a franio
of mugnifieenco nnd splendor. It was
tho boast of Kuropo some years ngo thnt
tho monastery of Haint Uornard wiim tho
highest building In that country, being
S.2u0 feet bIkivo tho level of tho son.
Then Sicily, not to bo outdone, erected
an observatory upon Etna 0,200 feet
above sea level, and they thought
they had done wonders. Yet here Is a
city 1,200 feet higher, and within a gun
shot of where I stand Is the town of
Aultman. 10,700 feet above sou level,
t-aid Ui bo tho highest Incorporated
town In the world. Frost every month
in tho year pays lis visit to Aultman.
Five months ago tho city of Cripple
Creok was almost swept from tho face
of tho earth hy two disastrous fires,
t causing a loss of over a million dollars.
Yet not for a slnglo moment did this
great calamity check her wonderful
financial progross. Her great wealth
was in the bowels of tho earth, and work
never stopped for a single moment, and
before tho fires had died down thous
ands of dollars of tho golden ore was
baing hoisted from hor great mines,
and to-day sho has risen from hor ashes
as if by muffle, in tho form of magniccnt
brick blocks, and hor baptism of fire
of only five months ago has almost been
forgotten. One million dollars In gold
was taken from tho Cripplo Crock dis
trict last month, and this month they
xpoct to ship ono million, two hundred
t housand dollars, and as tho mines grow
richer as they grow deeper, thoro Is no
tolling what tho camp will produce In
tho months to come. The rock Is so
hard that mining is expensive. For ex
umpio, I will take the Abo Lincoln
v mine. Our shaft is GxlO feet and the
contract price for mining Is (15 a foot,
and at this prico tho miner only aver
age about three dollars a day and Is
vorklng in water all the time. Work
nover stops day or night. Three crews,
fi each, working eight hours keeps the
maohinory going twenty-four hours
oteudily. I have been asked if It was
not a good place to find work and to
thin question I will have to say, no, as
laborers are plenty here. The electrlo
displays In tho show windows of the
stores are simply wonderful, putting to
.shame some of our largest stores in the
ast. The streets are so crowded that
you have to push yourself through the
crowds, and every onoe in awhile you
see the gleam of a shining revolver,
just to tell you in its silent way that it
is a good thing to attend to your own
business. This not a healthy place for
John Chinaman, as not ono Is allowed
to oome within the city limits. The
tenth of every month is pay day in the
district, and $300,000 is paid out in catih.
Vice in every form has taken up her
ulnxle in this plaoo, not hidden behind
closed doors, but all open to the view of
the passing crowd, and walk in the
evening through the streets to one not
ued to such sight, makes you long for
the atmosphere of purity. This Is ray
last night in the place and, climbing a
high elevation, I take a last look, To
jjny right is the city of the dead, its
many headstones glistening in th
moonlight, silent sentinels of the last
resting place of tho departed. Down
in the valley tho city, gleaming with
Us many brilliant lights, flashing out
into the darkness with the brilliancy of
many gems. Towering 14,474 foot Is
Blanca Peak, on the Kangre do Cristo
range, clad in Its winding sheetof snow.
I again tnko a last look at the city In
tho distance, a perfect Sodom on earth,
and wonder if it will take a baptism of
fire from heaven to purify It, as it takes
tho fiery furnace to purify the gold its
Inhabitant! tnko from the mines.
