FORKS OF TITF ANIMAS RIVER, DARENS mmz,} Tlata Co,, Col., Aug 13, 1674, I hiavo roachod tho hub of the vory Intost nov- clty in mining oxcitoments, ound am very com- fortably sheltered iu » log-cabm which atands swithin 60 foct of the ronring, fosming, duehing Animns Rivor; while all around, towerlug 2,000 footin thie air, are grand old mountains, some with their snow-caps on, and all goamed and fur- rowod with minoral lodes and ledges. *'limber- lino" ia very distinotly dofinol loas than 500 feot above, on these mountain-slopes. Bakor's Park ia situated in southorn Colorado, botweon Iatitude 87:8 and longitute 107:8. 1t ombracos & emall portlon of tho Uto indian Tesorvation whicki was codoed to the Governmont by o tronty made a littlo ovor ono yoar ago, - but not ratifiod by the Sonato until Aprit 24 of the progont yoar, Dy this treaty the Governmont obtained titio to nbont 9,000 squaro miles of mountaing; and nearly in ilio contre of this codod seotton Uo the AAN JUAN SILVER MINES, covering an aren 10 milos cnst sud west by 26 north and south, and numbering about 4,000 woll-defined volus of mineral; at lonst, this number of “Jocations " Lave boon made up to dato, Bakor's Park, os this valloy is called, dorives its name from o Capt. Baker,—not & military man, but a ploneor and gald-bunter,—who camo there in 1860, at tho hood of & party numbering 70 mon, prospecting for placor-diggings. It would soom that Bakor and bis men knew littlo or notbiog of minoral-lodos, for their efforts wero solely dirocted to finding gold, as tho early Cali- fornians did, and their labors were poorly ro- warded. Pits and ditches excavatod by this party are found in several placos, aud quito a varioty of relica Joft by Bakor and his men wera discovored in Eurcka Gulchlast senson. Baker's party soon quarrcled and Zsoparated,—Baker, with a few men, atriking farther south, into Now Dexico, whoro ho actually discovered rich dig- gings on the Ban Jusn River. A fow wooks later, tho adventurous Captaln waa killed by Iu- dians, whilo undertaking & trip back inco thia valloy in gearch of tho maln party, a majority af whom bad loft the country, while a fow ro- ‘malned, suffering untold lardships, and floally dying of starvation. ok Tollowing Bakor, from yoarto yoar, wore small pastios of trappors aud trudors, aud occasionally = detachmont of prospectors ; but they wera not allowed to romain in tho country. Enough, however, was Jearned of the mincral resourcos ‘here, by these partles, to load to the formation of & company of froutiorsmen from Now Aexico, who, in 1870, ontored the Park from the sonth, and romained during the summor prospecting tho mouutsins, and MAKING MANY VALUADLE DISCOVEMES of gold and silvoer lodes. Lfforts for o treaty of cosbion with the Utes were immediately com- menced ; but, without waiting for its consum- mation, the aggressive miner came in and wont to work, Tho treaty was not ratified until 1874 ; ‘but & quartz-mill was eroctod on tho Littlo Giavt gold mine in the winter of '72-8, and quite n number of “locations” were mado and cousids erable work done in *71~'3, Tho Indinns growled & good doal because of tho white man’s hasto to ocenpy their country; but the Utos ara not * the worst smoug tho bad,” and - vountod their displeasure in barmloss complaints. Thoy took no scalps from the minors, 1In 1873 threo minlug districts were organized, and white men held possession of tho country. About 300 minors came in, and mnearly 3,000 minoral locations were made ; but thoro ‘was no dovelopment worth mentioning, and_tho outside world "heard but little of the 8an Juan mines, Thio prosont sepsonling witnossed som littlo do- velopment, and has proven the fact that theso monbtaive and gulches contamn very valuable mineral, and IN GREATER ADUNDANCE than any other portion of the world thus far discovered, 'I'iere aro minors Liero fromn every mining-camp in tho country,—men who bhavo grown gray in the sorvice, sud who, without ex- coption, 80 far as I Lavo’ convorsed with thom, prouounce these minos nnequaled, both in nch- noes and oxtont, by any seotion thoy hava visited, I cannot speak of other mining localities from oxporionco.

The story is o long ono, and the figures look formidable; but tho city ia not badly soared, and o brief outline of tho case ca Loth sidos ' will possibly holp clicck any sudden deprecintion of local socuritics. Thoe city's nssogsmont foota up 18,000,000 this yoar, as agalnst $10,600,000 the year provious; bub still sho would not like her othor croditors to think sho waa really bound to her Contral Island Improvemount Company by bonds of 650,000 weight, Tho Contral Improvement Company’s sult is virtually to forco the city to somo sottle- mont. One condition of settlemont required by the Company is, that tho city sball nssumo the payment of all tho outatanding Contral Improve- mont bonds, These aro bonds which wora issued by the Company when this- Contral Islsud prop- erty waa cousidored of great valuo, It wasin the gushing days prior to tho groat crash of '67, In that crasb, Central Island, the Company, and tho clty, wont down togethor flat, below low- wator ‘mark, Tho city conld not mect its paper, the Company, could not redeom its plodges, and Confral Island Iay bo- tween tho two, dead na o borring, The bonds, unfortunatoly, did not die, Thoy were tho only things got up in those days that had vitality onough to go tbrough that financial stross, and thoy sufforod quite sovero paralysis ; but thioy remnin in large numbors fo plagua all partiesnow, Tho city itself is nursing §90,000 of them, and an unknown quantity have survived tho trundling and bundling about from one party to another. They bave boon mixed up in many trapeactions, and the exact relations tho city Lolds to them, or the Compony holds to them, to-day, is nob nn ensy thing to Bay. I wight make a statoment to show whethor the city has boon fimlty of broach of contract in tho matter ; but thon, as they say in Brooklyn, it might bo boat to wait til) the evidonco ia all in, I ihnk, however, I will submit sn abridged statoment, which will show how both parties to the contost stand : ‘The city sold tho proporty, in tho first place, to soveral of the woslthy citizons on conditions, Bubsequonily these citizens united, formed a uorrarnuan, and, us such, assumed all tho obli- gations thoy took upon themselvos as cilizens, aud mado a covounnt to that effoct with tho city. Tho corporation then {ssued the bonds boforo ugnlmu of, mortgaged tho premiscs to seoure thom, aud entered on the work of improving Contral Island. Bubsequent o this, the aty, tbrough its Bonrd of Aldormen, by an act which 18 not spoken very highly of at tho present time, bought back from the Company a part of tho Contral Island proporty; and one condition was, for tho clty to indorso” all tho Contral Islan bonds. Tho CnmEuny bringing {his suit set forth tho fact of this obligntion assumed by the city, and state that the city failed to meet cither the interest or principal of these Lounds when they boeame due, by which failuro the mortgagoe on tho promisos was forcclosed, sud tha Cota- pany lost its title to oll the proporty, ond hins ro- colvod nothing for the oxponses incurrad fu tha improvements mado, and in paylng, itsolf, Intor- o8t on tho bouds for a certain numboer of 'yonrs, Tho city’s domurror sets forth that tho Com- pany was not made o party to the foreclosure, and accordingly its titlo was not affoctod by tho same; and, as the dobt hns been sottled, tha Company has not been demaged. It furtlior stntes that tho plaintiff falod to perform itw patt of the contract, and maintaing that it was be- yond tho scope of tha powors of the city to make such u contract, But thon, as though there might possibly bo some mistake aboub this, the city statos that **The alloged cause of actiot auy ovor existed, i barred by the statute of itations,” ‘I'ho city, through itscounsol, then stutos that, *1f it beoomes nocessary for the city to flle an answof, it will be shown that tho atloged con- tract was obtainod by (raud and corruption ; and also, that, at tho timo of tho incurring of tio alloged indobtodnass, the constitutional limit of indobtednoss had already been resched by tho olty, 1t will be also claimed that, if tho ity I beld at all, tho measure of d-mnfies would ba moroly tho value of the property which tho Com- pany claims to hava loat, estimatod at tho timo of tho loss, with 0 por couy interost slnco, which would not oxcosd o fow thousand dollars; aud that tho city can cstablish a sot-off against the plaiuti to the amount of over §),000 on Con- tral Tsland bonds, which it has racently soquired.
