Special Correspondence of Ths Chtcago Tribune, : Puzszo, Col, April 23, 1873, The storm-centres and avess -of low barome- ters, which have 60 long been hanging over Lake Michigan, and creeping over the fertile prairies of Tlinois- and Iowa, have at last struck this sunny region. Only yesterdsy, our ears were saluted with the familiar chirp of the robin, while the melady of the frog and the hum of the bloodthirsty mosquito filled the twilight air; and to-day, presto, change! we arein the midst of a 'WHIBLING, DREIVING, BLINDING SKOW-STORM,— 8 legacy which comes from the East, and which seems to bring with it the bsppy memories of whale troops of star-lit nights and rattling eleigh-bells. Compared with the dry weather and the fearful sand-storms wich bave been - doled out o us the past wintar in such levish abundance, the' present storm is not_only welcome, but decided- 1y refreshing; and, if the fleecy element should pour down for & week, and cover up the tele- graph-poles, £nd block the mails, and suffocato o few thousand head of sheep, thera would be no grumblers, as something of the kindisneeded to tart the grass.’ * Let this storm keep up its lick for a few hours,” remarked an old cattle- Qealer, “and wo will have grass in the bottoms knee-high the latter part of May, and can dis- ‘miss all fears of dull times and starvation.” There is no denying the fact that, if nomo- loeted by the'dronth and grasshoppers, and per- mitted to enjoy a decent season, the immigration to Colorado for 1873 will be PORITIVELY TREMENDOUS. TUnder the coutinued and persistent efforts of the newspapers, and Immigration Boards; and colony-circulars, the resources and sattractions of this region have been advertised over the entire Iength and breadth of the Union, and the tide of travel has alrcady commenced rushing in. Bettlers are flocking into the Valley of the Ar- ‘kansas by thousands, and locating claims on the proposed line of .the Atchison, Topska & Santa FeRailroad ; while another andstill more adven- turous class have already taken up their line of march for the famed San Juan silver-mines, lo- cated about 140" miles southwest of this point. Theso mines are, without doubt, smong THE RICHEST IN THE WORLD j and many of the etories related by .the miners and prospectors of the gold-nuggets discovered, and veins of silver-ore seaming the mountain- nides, seem almost too-incredible for belief. Ono gentleman, in whose veracity Ihave the uimost confidencs, informs me that, in the vicinity of Baker’s Park; he stoodin his tracks a~d counted fifty-three silver lodes, from 134 to 80 feet wids, ono extending from the base to the top of the mountain. All of the eilver-ore examined eeenys readily at the rate of from §150 0 $500 a ton, andisvery essily reduced. Nothing Ybut capital, machinery, and . the proper amount of energy, is required to develop these mines ‘but the recent order of the Government, com- pelling all miners to GET UP AND SREDADDLE forthwith from the Ute Reservation, upon which the richest mineral-fields are located, has a dis- astrous effect, and many stamp-mills that should be grinding up the rocks ars now abandoned be- tween this point and Soma. As to the wisdom of the Government in issuing this order, it is enough to state that all the' soldiers and Gen- mand, winers ont of the San Jusn region. They bave been there; they have feastod their g7 upon the glitfering ores; they Lave flled their pockets with the suriferous dust; and, though » soldier should b posted at every Toad, 0d 8 frowning columbiad command every pass, the knighta of the shovel and the rocker would contrive to eneak in,and get awsy with the spoils. Themore propor and sensible coures would appear Lo b for the Gorermment fo_{reat with the Utes for the purchaso of the reserva- tion, and remove them to some point whero the Tocks are not absolutely honey-combed with gold and silver ore. % AB POR TOE UTES, 1t must b put down to thoir credit that ‘they manifest no_ hostility whatever towards the miners, but Tather enjoy their presence; and in~ stences are relatod whers Indisns have furnished balf-starved miners with food and clothing, until they were lucky enough to make a strike, Instesd of discoursging, those {riondly, mgged Utes rather invite the advances of the pale-feca, 2nd welcomo him to their reservation with open arms. Uls, the Hesd Chief, Tegards the late order issued by the Government as a direc - in- sult to himself, and is disposed to resentthe same accordingly. .. The Arizona diamond-excitement, which con- sulsed the entirs conntry only ufow months sgo, ‘bids fair to break out in . A MORE VIRULENT FORM THAX EVER. Instead of being s humbug, originated at San Francisco and New York, it is now boldly claimed that diamonds end other precious stones do exist in tho sterile sands of Arizons ; that they have * been found in paying quantities ; and that any inan of ordinary sense and perseverance can step ‘down that way and make his fortmne. Among the Jucky onas is » man who hails from 8t. Paul, Minn., and who responds to the name of Tracey. Ho etruck out for the dismond- fields among the first, and, after endaring hard- shipf innumerable, and 'preserving his scalp ‘much difficulty_from the hostile Apaches, Timself, one bright morning in October last, with no companions but s mule and his tsithfal dog, 100 miles west of Fort Defiance, Hers the country is voleanic in its natare, and Tracy judged that, if craters were in the habit of ahenting out diamonds, rubies, and _other recions trinkeis from the bowels of Mother arty, nere was thegpot of all others o find them.” Toward noon, it became necesearyfor our adventurer to cross a low, eandy plain; and, yhile riding along on his patient mule, rpoeu Iating doubtless on the vicissitude of Fortune, and wondering whother tho’ fickle dame had soythiog in store for him, his_attraction was suddenly arrested by perceiving what seemed to-bo & quivering beed of light, ‘which littered on an ant-hill & fow to the left. Of course our adventurer dismounted, and, in JJess time than I have been writing it, hie had nof only cap- tared & gigantic ruby, but filled his pockets with omeralds, sspphires, topazes, garnets, and other stones to0 numerous fo mention, besides secur- ing several genuine diamonds, allin the rough. The soil scemod to ; FaIBLY SPARKLE WITH PRECIOUS STONES, - and Tracy remsined several days around the enchanted epot, picking up the -Jargest stones, 2and fensting his eyes on the wonders of what ap- peared to bs Naturo's great tressure-honse. AL r securing enough of these valusble relis to wipe out the nationsl debt, snd -load- iog the -entiro mass on his - patient mule, Tracy turned his footsteps homeward, and finally atrived at Fort Defiance in & pitiable plight. His mule aad dog suceambed fo hunger snd thirst, snd died on_the osd; while Tracy ‘himself was hunted by Apaches, chased by Tolves, corraled by bears, poltad By mountain- storms, deshed over rocks’ by raging torrents, and melted by fervent heat. Ho was compelled %0 abandon his precious rubies and dismon and buried the glittering masa near the Lody o his mule, only rotaining two or three of the Jarg- est, and ‘thess’ wéro found upon him when, re- ducad to s walking skeleton of skin and bone, Fracy arrived at the fort.

Tracy remained until he was completoly restored to ‘health and strength, and then :HE SLIPPED OUT one fine morning; and, the next day, s Mexican made his appearance with & note directed to the commander of the post. The note was from Tracy. He went on to thank tho Colonel very palitely for the kindnessss paid him during Lis sickness, recounted at some Ie!:fil.h the wonders of the.diamond-fields, and finally closed with the soothing statoment thet he would have re- mained, and led the Colonel and his band to the glittering treasures, had he not supposed officers and goldiers were above such baubles. ‘We shall pull tho mantle of silence over the rage of the Colonel, and will only remark that tho Mexican was kicked outside the fort, and that & ell footsoro notico has been posted up warning famished diamond-hunters to KEEP OFF THX GROUNDS.

Crook has brought the hos- tilo’and flerce Apaches to their knees, removing all farther danger from thst quarter, we may B00n expect to seo Arizona literally overrun with an eager horde of adventurers and spoculatore, all intent upon striking dismonds, nd striking them rich. Colorado has s remarkably healthy climate, and, owing to this fact, must goon bscome THE NATIONAL HOSPITAL of the United Siates, Hither resort the con- ‘sumptive, the dyapeptic, the asthmatic, the rheu- matic, the wan-cheeked, hollow-eyed, thin, Slking, nervous, fretful inyalids of all nation- ities.

Sand-storms may rago, and fill the air, and blind the cyes with alkali-dust, twenty hours out of the twenty- four; but the Manitou soda-gprings will cleauso the system, and knock the dyspepsia every time. Colorado may be—in fact, is—overdone in many respects; but she has two strong points upon the popular heart, viz: the climate snd tne mountain®scenery. ' If the new-comer grows in- dignant at the vast expanse of alkali-plain and sage-bi and cries alond; in the bitterness of his heart, that he hes been fooled, some tall hulk of a fellow is triumphantly pointed out “who came to tho country barely six months ago, standing on tho verge of eternity with quick consumption.

' The well-known writer on tho geology of Asin BMinor, M. de Tehihatcheff, who visited this region, deter- mined it to be of the Miocene period ; and.the fact is further confirmed by tho foseil bones, teoth, and shells of that opoch I found there, for I sent drawings of some of these fossils to’ Sir John Lubbock, wlio obligiugly, informa mo thet liaving submitted them to Messrs. G. Busk and JefTroym, thoso eminent suthorities havo identi- fied smong them the Temains of dinotherium and the shells of & spocics of melania, both of ‘which strictly ngpexrx.in to ‘'the Miocene ‘epoch. In addition fo these_discoveries, st about ten riiles distance from the above locality, I have’ Iately como apon othor traces of man's existonco in drift 200 or 800 faot thick, underlying 400 or 500 feat of stratified rocks. I cannot positively aflirm that this formation is likewise Miocene, the fos- ail shells it contains not having yet been exam- inod acientifically ; but in all probability such will prove o bo the :case. Thronghout this drift T have found nurerous stone implements much worn. : Flint is comparatively raro, bal other hard stopes have béen adopted, red and other colored jasper being most common. Some of these implements ara of largo size, weighing upward of nine pounds. It is not more than forty or fifty years since tho possibility of man's having come nto boing at an earlier period than the received term. of 6,000 years was first dis- cnssed ; and it is only quite recently that geolo- gists, upon the evidence farnished by tho Qua~ rnaty drift, are sgreod to assign him an”an- tiquity of about 100,000 years. Home suspected traces of his existenca have, indeod, been noticed in tho Plioceno and Miocene forma- tions, but not sufficiently marked to be con- clusite. It may be mentioned that the drift of the Quatenary sge, to which the earliest ves- tiges hitherto_Lnown of primitive men had been® confined, forms immediately below the earth’s surface, comparatively speaking, mere crust ; beneath underlie in_succession the vast thicknesses of the new-and old Pliocenes end tho Mioconos of tho Tertiury age, to which last my discovery now carries back the existenco of mankind. Tho remarkablo fact is thus estab- lished beyond a question that the antiquity of man is no longer to be reckoned by thousands, but by millions of years. I shall sbstain from malding fufther researches in the placo where the engraved bone was discovered until I can do 80 in the presence of persons well known in the scientific world, who, I trust, may be tempted to visit the spot.” Lady Ellenborough.

MONETARY. * [BATURDAY EvERING, May 8. The principal foature in the local money mar-~ ket this week: is the turn in exchange in favor of Chicago and against New York, thus showing that the flow of capital to New York has ceased, znd that currency will move Westward instead of Enstward as it did during the wholeof April. As yet this change has had fio effect upon the money market, but it msay reasonsbly bo expected to make an essier condition here duriug the current month. The demand from the country for currency is also increasing, and this indicates the probability of Iarger receipts of grain. The supply of money in the open market is good, and prime commercial peper, sod also matisfactory real estate paper, both find a ready market at from 10 to 12 porcont.

Therois & good deal of talk and complaint sbout our inspection of grain, many people from tho country claiming that they are pwindled. BSo far as we can ascertain, the In- Bpectors are now working closer to therulea than aver before, under State inspection, and that is what is wanted. If the rules arebad insomo places they can bo amended bye and byo; and there sre two or thres points in which they meed to be changed. But we do mot want a set of rules that can be stretched to grade higher the grain that comes from com- peting points than that which comes from else- where, Even if it be trus, as alleged, that that sort of inspection is practised in Milwaukeo and Toledo, 1t 18 not wanted here. What is required is & uniform inspection, so that people who want tobuy grain can’alweys know just what they will liave served out to them on a given grade. The demand for such grain would establish a discrimination in ita- favor, as compared with other markots, that ought o satisfy tho most chronic grambler in existence. The ways of gome of our_lumber brokers are, to use s Topseyism, decidedly * curis.” Not content with reporting their own sales at 50c_or 81.00_sbove the fruth, they scan the public record for the report of other dealers, and if they ars not satisfactory, will carry off the book, 80 that'done of the reporters cin seeit. Are these some of the tricks which were so exten- sively complained of & yesr or more ago, by the journals published in the lumber regions? or re they only samples of waye that are dark and tricks that were so vain that all honest mon &void them? s ° THE MARKETS.
