We extract the fotlowihg paragraph from a
letter written by Ex-Governor Denver, of Kan

in reply to a note asking for information in re

of the western parts of Kansas and Nebraska.
1 lis remarks are to the point, and are equal y
applicable to the vast mineral regions embra
ced in the Gadsden Purchase,
"The mineral resources have been but very
partially developed, but. there is no doubt of the
existence of gold in considerable quantities
over a largo extent of country. As far as my
knowledge extends, the discovering of gold have
thus far been confined to the eastern slope of
the mountains; the principal workings of the
mines have been on the head waters of the
South Platte. It has been found also, as 1 am
informed, on the .North 1 Matte, and on the Ar
kansas, above Rent's Tort. Thefco can be but
little doubt, however, from the geological struc
ture, of the country, that, the wvsttirn slope will
b- found richer than the eastern, and that such
will be found the character of the mineral de
posits southward for some distance into New
Mexico, where the silver and copper take the
place ot th. gold.
In this connection it mav be well to direct
mines. They are equitable and just, and while. J visitii'l the Governor who at once.' resigned.
they fully protect the mining interests, none of
the other great interests of tlie country are neg

als arc reserved by operation of law as a part
of the eminent domain. Any one may enter
the land of another and work a mine, but be
fore doing so he must pay the owner the agri
cultural or grazing value for so much of the
land as may he necessary for carrying on the
business. Thus it will be seen that tlie rights
of all are protected.

In March, 1857, J. M. Ainsa, brother-in-law
of Col Crabbe, who, with his party, was massa
cred, had charge of a store at a place called
Rucna T,t.i, within the limits of Arizona, and
about three miles from the Mexican line. On
the night of the l.'Uh of April, several days af
ter the massacre of Col. Crabbe's party, a body
of 515 armed Mexican soldiers came over the
line, surrounded the store, and took prisoners
Mr. Ainsa and four sick emigrants who had not
been able to go forward with Col. Crabbe.

many incidents of interest occurred. A young

them, and therefore, to prevent accident, caught
one by the waist and took her with him. As

says: "This- season the number is far greater
