8 THE TIMES NEW BLOOMFIELD, PA. DECEMBER 23, 1879. For Till Tim Kg, A Letter from Colorado. Lkadvii.i.e, Col,, Decombor 3, 1870. Mn. EDiron ! Wo being native of your county, take pleaattre in giving a short description of the great mining camp of Leadville, in ns much as there la a vast ex flltrmieut 111 the Ivtut relating to the place. This camp first enme Into notice about eighteen months ago. Ie is situated In tho upper Arkaunita Vroltay,aiid near the source of the Arkansas river at an altitude of 10,400 feet, being 4,433 feet higher than the base of the Rocky Mountain, and its .developments are almost nupernatulal. The population of the uiagio city Is esti mated at 80.000 inhabitants, with an emi gration of 50 per day eager to seok for tune by attempting to sink a hole into Jlother Earth with the expectation of find ing their long sought fortuno. But wo are sorry to say that fev find our hills so ready to yield as was expected. .Such mines as are discovered are princi pally coufluod to deposit mines, from which many different grades of carbonate are produced, some of which produces 05 per cent, of pure silver, but our private opin ion Is that these estimations are greatly exaggerated by parties interested In the mine. We are also of the opinion that silver me is planted into unproductive mines in order to catch eastern capitalists who are engor to invent shortly after arriv ing this place Men come here who lose hundreds and thousands of dollars and will 'Continue to do so as long as the excitement ris kept up at blood hent. The mining camps of Dendwood, Fair ,play and Lake City yield considerable high grade ore, but the newspaper excitement .relative to. these points is not to such a high pitch. The California gold fever of .1348, the Pike's Teak rush a dozen years later, the Pennsylvania oil excitement of 1804, or the now' more recent Black Hills stampede cannot be compared to this Lead--ville furor. Heal estate is sought after ; corner lots bring from $3,000 to $8,000. Such a property as the Gantt block lu ' Newport, would briug here $30,000 readi ly. Buildings covered with Blabs rout for .$20, and halls rent from $500 to V00 per -month in advauce. Within tho incorporated limits of Lead 'villo .the citizens claim forty hotels, eighty fboardiu-beuses, sixty-seven restaurants, One bundled and twenty-e"ight saloons, many of which have (signs by the door upon rvhlch is written, "Two Smiles for Tweuty Gw Cents," "Five Thousand men wanted for what? To diiuk Boer" ; Fifteen dry goods stores, ten banks, fourteen places of assay, thirty-six smelting works, and many Other busiuess establishments not worthy of mention. Freights are from $40 to $50 per ton, the distance being forty miles, and yet the de mand for hay and grain is so great that bay is worth from $80 to 120 per ton ; oats, $3.40 ; potatoes, $3.00, and apples $11.00 iper bushel. Flour is ready sale at 115.00 per barrel. The above prices are caused by tho Rocky Mountain region being cold .and barren. In addition to the above, we will say that our country is not tilable owing to the ice and snow during the summer season. We have now spent nine months in the Rooky Mountains, and can say we saw snow fall every month since our arrival, and have had very little rain fall during this time. When we speak of the Rocky Mountains being rough and rugged, we also mean that . the people are the same, and would not ad vise any oue to Bhare with us in sight, al though you might be one of the few who aio successful, yet will say, should you be so you would be one of the few among many thousands and would say to all friends, do not take such risks, but con tinue to remniu with those who respect their fellowraen, for such we regard as better than silver nud gold, and are 'im pressed that your readers will be of the same opinion should they be present to see men bang by the their necks, and others shot down like wild beasts of prey. Not wishing to weary your readers, will bid .adieu to all whom it may interest, with (best wishes and sentiments of respect, we remain,, . J. B. N. and W. L. W. ' ' A Mysterious Cremation. . .Advices from Washington, Pa., state 'that much excitement prevails there over a case of cremation, about which great ecrecy is being observed. Tuesday morn ing there arrived by the eleven o'clock train, accompauied by two geutletneD, the corpse of a young man about twenty-four years old, said to h ive died of consump tion ia New Yoik. Dr. O. Payson was one of the men, and from the name on the box, C. W. Quirk is supposed to be the .other. The body was taken immediately to the crematory- The parties are very reticent about the case and will admit Jio one. The employee at the crematory will disclose nothing, but make a point of tating that they have full verification of he death of the subject, so as to remove &H suspicion that this method is being taken to destroy evideuces of foul play. It is known that the bedy shows marks of discoloration around t ho neck, and toward the close of the day the opinion prevailed that the body then undergoing inoiueration was that of Tracy, who v. as hung t Smith port December 4tb.
