Eds. Herald. —This is a land of
wonders—not only in legend, but in
physical features also. The aborigi
nes so regarded it on account of the
grandeur of its scenery, and wo so
regard it on account of tho treasuies
contained in tho bosoms of the moun
tains whoso summits pierce tho heav
ens which havo always been tho
uhodo of the Gods. The Indians of
the region did not believo that the
world was created, but they thought
it was tho work of chance, although
they knew that tho heavens had al
ways existed.
As tho domicil of tho gods hud al
ways oxisted, and the earth was cre
ated without purposo, it was necessa
ry that the gods descending from
tho savages’ high Olympus should
shape tho ends of tho earth’s inhabi
tants; and mingled with tho legends
of tho natives, wo find the stories of
their gods, who, descending to earth,
first stepped upon tho tops of the
highest mountains, where their first
experiments were made.
This place, which is accessible by
way of tho Union Pacific Railroad,
ii situated amid the Laramie plains,
which are but one of the mountain
ous parks in tho park system, lying
in the region of tho summit of the
Rocky mountain range, extending
from north to south ihtough Colora
do, and bo tho most pro
ductive gold and silver region in the
world. Situated in tho midst ol tho
richest mineral region ol Wyoming,
and on the borders of the now gold
and silver fields at tho most accessi
ble point, it is becoming a point of
great interest; and situated at tho
most accessible point of entry into
that region, it is becoming a place of
some commercial importance.
Such being the ease, and eontein
piating a tour of the mining regions
of Colorado and Wyoming during
tho current season, I have chosen
Laramie City as my initial point,
and shall penetrate tho country as I
can most conveniently do from this
direction, giving to tho presh in the
courso of my rambles, a series of let
ters on tho country and its people,
contemporaneous and aboriginal. I
shall not confino myself to the exam
ination of gold and silver prospects
moroly, but as hitherto tho country
has boen unoccupied and unknown to
white men, I proposo to make some
othnologic researches, which, as ray
exordium would indicate, may bo
tinctured by tho mythology of tho
region whoso inhabitants are a pecu
liar people.
Of courso, the thin and meagre
imagination of tho American savages
was not equal to the creation of Mil
ton’s magnificently imperial Satan,
or of Goethe’s Mephistophcles, with
his subtle intellect, his vast powers,
his malignant mirth; but in so far as
the Indian fiends, dovils, and other
gods, have tho ability, they are whol
ly as wicked as these, and only think
of ovil, and as it is suid that gold,
which these mountains and the
earthly homo of these devils contain,
is the root of ull evil, perhaps by
having recourse to their legends, we
may tho better discover tho radical
root, as the Jesuit fathers did while
tho country was younger, but as well
known, perhaps, as it is to-day. And
so I trust that I may claim your in
dulgence whon I mingle myth and
truth, weaving a net of both, but
keeping each distinct, and giving tho
preference to truth, which is of the
most concern; and so as fiction is to
occupy a position subordinate to fact
in this correspondence, I shall devote
tho rest of this letter to a statement
of the facts which havo engaged pub
lic attention already, and give inter
est to my subject, although at the
outset I may havo conveyed an op
posite impression.
Tho discovory of rich silver bear*
ing carbonates in tho vicinity of
Lcadvillo has produoed a revolution
in mining for tho precious metals.
For years thoso carbonates wero con*
sidered a worthless material,,
to be got rid of and thrown away.
Being heavy, they sunk to the bot
tom and filled the riffles in the sluice
boxes of the placer miners and pre
vented tho successful raising of tho
gold of tho gulches where they were
found. Their first result was to stop
gold mining and all other mining in
the regions whore they existed, for
they were not known to contain sil
ver in paying quantities, and the su.
perimposod rock where they exist
being of the more recent Bilurian
formation, contained only small
“gash” veins or lodes of tho precious
metals. Tho carbonates lay in the
contracts between the asoric and pa*
leazoric rocks, so that finding such
supposed to be fruitless rock, explor
ation was not carried below, and ex
ploitation ended at the contact. But
this is now all changed, and the
I stone that was rejected has now be-

come the chief atone of the corner
of the temple of Colorado’s prosperi
ty, and threatens to depress the com
mercial value of silver, which has so
long been a standard of all value.
Prospectors are now most excited
over discoveries of carbonates, and
although they concede the superiori
ty of fissure veins as permanent
mines, yet on account of the largo
bodies of rich ore found in the con
tacts, contact veins have the pref-
erence.
The carbonate hell struck in the
vicinity of Lendvilie attracts most at

and the passes over the divides be
tween the parks being low, an excel
lent nuturul route extending front
this place through the parks and as
fur as Leadvilie and the Gunnison
country. Persons going from this
direction toward the parks, have,
upon entering the mountains be
tween the north park and the Lara
mie plains, found rich gold fields at
the ond of their first day’s journey.
Jelm mountain, which lies on the
line of their march, seems to be a net
work of gold veins, small in size but
exceedingly rich in the character of
their rock; numerous veins affording
samples of ore assaying over 1=50,000
in gold per ion, and as high as $97,-
000. The result bus been startling;
for where no one lived two months
ago, Cummins City, a prospoious
town and live mining camp is situ
ated to day, at a point only about 30
miles distant fronCthis place.
The Douglas Creek region, which
is in the Medicine How moun
tains some dozen miles west of Jelm
mountain, ulso attracts considerable
attention. Nuggets of pure nativo
gold, weighing us muchjjas 00 pwts.,
(worth as many dollars) have been
found in the alluvium of the gulches,
and rich quartz lodes in the rock in
places, one of which, the Keyslono
by name, having already yielded by
racuns of rude processes some $30,000
in gold, and another, the Centennial,
a like amount of the precious metals.
In fact the whole Medicine Bow
range lying between the Laramie
plains and the north park is proving
to be as rich in gold as the Rabbit
Ear mountains lying between the
north and middle parks are known
to bo in silver, and within the last
week the discovery of rich carbon
ates along tho base of the same
mountains has crcatod considerable
excitement, but as to tho extent of
the discoveries made I am not fully
advised, and in fuet do not attach
much importance to them as tho ex
istence of large contact veins in the
immediate vicinity of true fissure
veins, is according to my notion,
rather improbable; but of this, more
anon. •
Tbo presence of Indians bus here
tofore mado prospecting dangerous,
and rotardod tho development of tho
park regions, but the success of tho
last two years in carbonate mining
has stimulated prospectors, and tho
tens of thousands of peoplo attracted
by tho richness of tho mineral re
sources of the country will hereafter
make it dangerous for tho Indians m
tho parks if thoy do not overrun the
Ute reservation, which lies immedi
ately to tho westward but docs not
comprise much of the country now
attracting so much attention, oxccpt
that lying to tho westward of the
middle park on tho Grand and its
tributaries, and known as the Gun
nison country. Indian depredations
have already boon reported in the
latter region this year, but tho truth
of the report has not boen fully ac
cepted. During tho current week,
howovor, several hundred Utesfrom
tho Gunnison country have como up
the Grand, through the middlo park
and mado their appeaaauco in the
south-western part of the north park
where it is roported thoy have killed
a few prospectors. Whether their
intentions aro hostile has not trans
pired, but it is quite likely that the} 7
are merely hunting elk, which aro
abundant, and only killed tho minors
as an incidental diversion. In any
event, four companies of the 3rd U.
S. Cavalry will procood from this
place to morrow to intercept their
further advance, and prevent tho in
terruption of prospocting in the
north park and region lying between
it and the Laramio plains. Later in
the season Gen. Pope will sond
troops from tho south, as the country
is in his department, but at present
inaccessible from that direction, so
that Gen. Crook is roquirod to afford
aid from this side. I shall probably
accompany tho column as I did the
column sent to tho roliof of Thorn
burg’s command, and tho White Riv

Dismal as the social and political crisis
in California has, for a season, appeared,
a new era is dawning. The Christian
pulpits have asserted themselves with
unwonted power. In the Oakland daily
Tribune we notice a sermon of remarkable
pertinence, justness of sentiment, and
robust vigor of statement, by Rev. J. K
McLean. “If the foundation be destroy
ed, what can the righteous do?” was the
question he asked. What the righteous,
at such a crisis as theirs, should do, he
tells wonderfully well. “Public opinion
four weeks ago set its heel upon the head
of the serpent that had so hissed and
stung in the fields of San Francisco. And
the hissing and the stinging ceased.
What law had long bungled at and grown
weary of, and left still unachieved, public
opinion acting through law in an hour
accomplished. It will therefore be crim
inal for San Francisco, holding such per
fect power over evil-doing and so know
ing that she holds it, not henceforth to
use it. In a word, let each clean minded,
clean-handed, clean-hearted man and wo
man make himself aud herself felt as a
power for good, and sin shall be ashamed;
crime shall hide its head, violence skulk
Into its lair; while morality, virtue and
religion shall again have sway. Then, in
the words of the great Prophet of Israel,
who is also the great prophet of the ages,
the work ol righteousness shall be peace;
and the effect of righteousness, quietness
and assurance forever.” These are wise
and timely words to be spoken on either
coast of our continent. There arc thous
and of cities asd villages where horrible
temptations arc allowed and infamous
practices tolerated, to the imperilling of
all homes and all good interests of the
community, which the good men and wo
men of the place might, if they would,
compel to hide their heads and skulk
away.— Advance.

SELLS BROTHERS’ MILLIONAIRE
CONFEDERATION OF STUPEND
OUS RAILROAD SHOWS.
That able, influential and reliable news
paper, the Denver (Co).) Daily Tribune
says : “In every respect the Sells Brothers
fulfill the promises of their advertise
ments," and the Red Cloud (Neb.) Chief
adds : “Its managers allow no gambling
on the grounds, and people can attend the
show without the fear of being fleeced
by sharpers." That’s the kind of talk
that will win, every time, in this commu
nity, and fill the vast tents of the great
est of shows to overflowing, when it visits
Oskaloosa, cn Friday, July 2.
There arc few indeed with so little of
the circus lever in them that they would
not go a long ways just to see the cham
pion bareback equestrian hero of the
world, James Robinson, ride, and yet, re
nowned as he is, he but forms one feature
in the colossal exhibition with which he
is bo honorably associated, and which,
besides a complete collection of the rar
est wild beasts and birds, hikl a circus of
supreme, classic and refined merit, con
tains a $200,000 herd of Elephants, the
largest ever seen in paradi ; two $57,000
full grown, living Hippopotami, the only
pair ever imported; a $50,000 Aquarium
of huge Sea Lions; the only SIH, 000 drove
of Performing Colorado Cattle; the only
$22,000 Two-horned Hair}' Rhinoceros,
which tremendous brute, it will be remem
bered, nearly demolished a locom; tivc at
Pittsburgh, Pa ; the only $25,000 Willis
Cobb Miniature Circus; the only King
Sarbro’s Royal Japanese Circus; the only
genuine $20,000 sixty horse-power Elec
tric Light andj Motor, exhibited both af
ternoon and evening; the only tribe of
Ute Chiefs and Braves, who appear at
each performance in u most wild and
thrilling equestrian drama, expressly ar
ranged for them, and graphically illustrat
ing the savage onslaughts and single com
bats of border warfare.
VVc wish to speak with special praise
of the relieving fact that no pedding is
allowed by the Messrs. Sells within their
tents, and that they, moreover, rent no
privileges of any kind, but retain exclu
sive control of their immense establish
ment, manage it in person, and call upon
the authorities to aid them in stamping
out all swindlers. Such managers ought
to make money, and they have made it,
“by the cord,” and liberally invested it in
the biggest and best show on this conti
nent.
Tup Advantages of Mahaska County ns
soon by One of its Host Farniors.
Lj)s. Llerald. —I desire to present
some reasons why Mahaska county and
especially in the vicinity of Oskaloosa, is
superior to any other piace in the state,
especially for farmers. While we believe
that lowa is one of the best if not the very
best state in the Union, as I believe it is
given up that lowa has a larger per cent,
of good farming land than any other
state. We also believe that Mahaska
county will compare favorably in this re
spect with any other county, and we also
believe that Mahaska county has many
advantages which other counties have
not. Many think that in this prairie
country fencing costs a great deal. So it
does in any country. We can buy good
burr oak rails 10 feet long for three dol
lars per hundred; good burr oak fence
posts for from 8 to 10 cents each; which I
believe is as cheap as they can be bought
for any place, and wood is a drug at from
two to four dollars a cord delivered in
wood house. Why is this? Simply be
cause there is so much coal in the ground.
The farmer who is not quite so fortunate
as to have coal on his land can buy good
Lump coal for Gor 7 cts. per 100 It.s, and
now the Excelsior Coal Co., but two miles
from the city of Oskaloosa, is selling line
coal for 50 cts. per wagan load, 25 or 30
bushels. Most of the farmers here are
using it. Where else can you get fuel so
cheap? And fuel is the one thing need
ful to be looked at as we have to have it
every day through life. Fruit of all kinds
that are raised in northern states except
peaches is generally abundant here, some
times peaches, but not every year. While
Oskaloosa may not be quite as fast and
large as some other cities in the state, we
firmly believe the colleges, schools and
society will compare favorably with those
of any other city in the state or any other
state. Farmers get as much for their pro
duce and stock here as at any other place
in the state, and more than, many other
places, as we have good railroad facilities,
three railroads crossing here. We always
have competition in that line. As to bus
iness in Oskaloosa, I know nothing of it;
farming is my business and that is what
I think and talk about. I should have said
while speaking of the coal that there is
not much better medicine for hogs than a
little slack coal occasionally, and we can
get all we want of that for hauling it
away from the banks. Mr. Editor, you
will excuse me for taking so much space,
but I should have mentioned the splendid
w*tcr and most excellent building rock
that we have abundance of. I only ask
the farmer that is looking for a location
to read this, think about it and examine
for himself. A Farmer.
