Hayden and other writers have amply defined its geo- graphical position and boundarfes; but, for the intormnation of thoso who may not have con- venient access toa Uovernment roport, I wiil state that the gulch is sitvated on the head- waters of the Arkansss River, aud llics between the main range and a spur which divides the waters of the Platte and Arkansas, ond which fs known finlocal pariance as tho Mosquito Range. The gulch proper is about twelva miles in length, and Lias an averago width toward the mouth of half a'mlle. TR FINST PLACKR-DIGGINGS were discovered In 1538 by o couplo of moon- struck sdventurers who nad lit out from Don- ver with no particular object or ambition in view, but who roturned In the fall of that yoar with thelr pockets woll filled with dust, and, when pressed for informatton, vaguely replied that they had struck it near the main ranze. In the spring and sumwer of 1859 plizrims and ad- venturers commenced pouring into the guleh from all quarters, and in '00 the rush was ot its helght. Some of the old prospectors, who fought and bled liere at that time, and who still remaln in the gulch as vencrablo relics of the paat, boldly aflimn that in 1900 no less than 15,000 people were scattered up and down the gulcliy and, If the number of deserted houscs, abandoned ditclies, graveyards, and other evl- dences of settlements, are any criterlon, there must have been ol least that number. 1t was rather A LIVELY DURG atthat, time. Money was plenty; overy man had his pocket full of dust; fortuncs were nee cumulated In o single day, aud lust as rapldly. Banks, stores, and hotels flourished, theatres were In full Dblast, ond the gambiing-saloons and other sinks of inlquity sct to trip the feet of the unwary mincr were crowded frum sun- down to sunrise. Of courso there was the tra- ditional desperado, wilh his knife and little pistol, ready to carve or shoot somebudy; aud thera were also the Vigilantes, who olten Inunched these fellows on Charon without much ceremony, and then planted what was left oo the lfllside. tnonc mraveyard beneath tho whisperinge pines there arc ten littlo mounds, aliin a row, and every solitary tenant of tho same died with hls boots un, “ ‘*Hoss-stenlln’ il peueral cussedncss did it," remarked a grizaly old veteran, All 'the placer-claims yiclded enormously, and In soma Justances, where the bed-rock was favor. able for sluicing, ns high as 310,000 would be taken out with thrce bozes overy twenty-lour hours.

The house was well flled, and the sudicnce testified its appreciation of Miss Morris by calling ber bofore the curtain at thoe close of every nct, Miss Multon's story s a very sad oue, and the playwright, in weaving it Into a drama, has given Miss Morris a succession ol lplcnd_nl oppor tunities for working upon the Bympathics ol her auditors. Her acting of this character Is perlps the best exhivition of the realistic method of treatment that hos yet been devel- opod, It is painfully real. it is ns real as the moasfes, the whooplog-cough, or epllepsy. Mental angulsh, physical agouy, the pangs of unrequited motherly love, the suifering that follows sin, the death agony,—all are pore trayed with terrible vividucss, It is as truc to iife as a photogruph. It is as real- fatic as & sojourn In o hospital.

The reports published heretofors that the principal object of Mr. Garrett's visit to Farops was for the purposc of making arrangements with the Grand Trunk people to give them an outiet to Chicago over the Chicago Branch of the Baltimore & Oblo Raliroad aro confirmed by the cable dispatch in yesterday's TRIBUNE that Garrett was in consultation with the Di- rectors of the Grand Trunk fn regand to this matter. This scttles the question whether the Grand Trunk would be abls to get Into Chicago. There wero some who thought that Garrett would afd Vanderbilt In keeping it from getting an Independent Western ontlet. But those bet- ter acquaiotled with the situation always inslsted that Garrett would slde with the Grand Trunk and Erfe Roads, aa this was his only opportunl- ty to make the Chicago Branch of the Baltimore & Ohlo a paying investment. It is belieyed by some that the Grand Trunk people contemplata the feasing of this line, and it {s sald that Gar- rett Is auzious to enter into such an arrange ment. 11 this arrangenent is consnuimnated, the Chicago & Cauada Southern, already cone trolled by the Grand Trunk, wilt In all proba- bility be connecied with the Daltimore & Ollo and form the Chicazo end of tho liue.
