12 —————— LEADVILLE. The Growth of the {Carbonate Camp in Three Weeks, A Half Mite of Buildings in the Direction of Fryer Mll--New Hines Opened Up. The Magie City of Kokomo up Ten-Milo Croek, The Amenities of Smelting. From Our Own Correspondent. Lyapvinin, Col, March &—A residence of threo weeks tn camp entities ono to pe rogarded asonoldtnbabltant. Each day's stages bring Jo thelr loads of “tender fect,” whom we, the early settlers of Leadville, tack down ttpon with more or less derision, When we, the peonte of Leadville, happen to be down at the Grand Hotel in the Iate afternoon or carly evening, dnd sce the stages roll up and vomit forth their living contents, it fs with alMculty that we can restrain our disgust; and we are apt to exclaim, “What the deuce do ail thesa people mean by coming in here and | trying to get a share of our minernl wealth? ‘Why don't they stay at home nud attend to their own business?’ And as they extricate their wearied HMmbs from the clumsy yelleles:and step out upon terra firma, they generally have sholf guilty expression upon thelr faces, os if they knew that they were Intruders, and were not at all welcome. But, after a few days! atay, these same persons somchow assume a brazen air, aid scowl ominously upon the Jater arrivals. And thus: ‘To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Breathes in this petty pace from day to day, Threa weeks ogo I reached Leadville, Since then the camp has made remarkable progress, At that time buitding-lots had buen claimed for about fonr blocks cast of Hurrison avenue, and towards Fryor Ilill.' Now most of these lots Have cabins upon them. Streets have been sur- veyed, and the land has been claiined a full balf- mile further, Tp order to make aclalm of this kind o squatter Is obliged to lay down four logs. as n foundation for his cabin, aud within thirty daya he inust erect aframe-work. It is no un- common thing here to sco whole blocks of thede crudely pat up boards and loz, Fors frame- work the squatter generally erects four corner- posts, and nnile onc board across on ench side, thus obeying the law technically, though evad- ing its spirit. Many speculators hera take up claims in this way, and then soll the Iots at from . $50 to $150 each, Mining, too, has advanced greatly In this short time. When I came here no mineral had been discovered north-of Fryer Hill in this vicinity. Now several mines have struck ore on the Big Evans Gulch, and a nille beyond that across the Arkonsnw. ‘The South Evans Gulch, abranch of the Big Evans, about three miles cast from camp, has been covered with pros- pect bolus, fu holf a dozen of which low-grade silver has been found. Over at Ten-Mile **strikca’? are daily revorted, and a lively town fsepringing up. A daily stago-Iino to that point hoa been established, und an application has been made to the Government for a Host-Oftice. The name of the settlement there is Kokomo, and town-lots are already selling at from $20 to $35 cach. Capitalists coming hero from’ Chicago and Eastern cities find QUEAT DIFFICULTY 1N GETTING WOLD OF FAY- * ING MINES at anything lke reasonable figures, Prospects obound on every hand, wud can be bought any- where from $50 to $2,000, according to focation, progress of the shuft, and indivations of the wronud. But the men who have money to fn- ‘vest in mines are not willingto take any risks, asarule, Before putting inadollar they want to know that they have gotten a “sure thing.? Strangely enough, it Is the people having the least money that are the readivet to take chances, ‘The ayerage capltolist hus no desire togamble, Now the number of paving inines Wineh arc on the market can be counted on the fingers of ono hand. Of esltaiay every mine in Leadville can he purchased, providing cnough moncy fs offered to malo it an abject for the owners to abdicate; Mut Ido not consider a mine us “on the market” unless It {s offered by its owners at a reasonable figure, Geuerally, a8 goon as a nian strikes ore here lie ut once declares biuaulf a milltouaire, and in his intnd begins to build niin self a brown-stono palace In St, Louls, Chicago, or Denver.

But nomen who understands a trade need remain unoccupied n day ofter hfs arrival. Al workmen, howerer, should bring their tools with them, I should also aad that ortisans coming hero ought io expect to stick to their trade und not throw it overboard for mining.

Tit regard to the chances for further “strikes! du mimng I would axe also to any a few words, Atis true, os has been stated in the Chicazo newa- papers, that the beat claling have been taken up nthe vicinity of Leadyille,—that Jy, in the lo- ealities where silver has been already proved to exiut.

AMERICAN BACON IN ENGLAND. Patt Mull Garelte, Fed. 2a, It has tong been known that American bacon could be sent over to this country at sucha price astodefy competition by our farmers, Owlng, however, to certain dofccts in the moda of preparation, it bas never yct had s fair trial except in disguise. Now {t appears from a lot- ter from A London Vicar” this fs boing recti- fied, and American bacon, quite equal to British, can be sold at about 43g pence per pound, in- stead of 10 pence or a shitling, Probably a good dea! of bacon now consumed at the bicher prico ja bought by the retailer at the lower; and, as haprsnalt in the case of butchers with American iresh meat, the farmer loses but the houschuld- erdoes not gain. At any rate, the pressure 1s alreatly saverely, felt in Wiltshire, and the farm- ers there complain Uint it is no longer poss{bie to fatten pigs tos profit in spiteof the low ; price of grain. Moreover, when improvements fn communication and means of transport now In progress are carried out, the difference be- tren the imported und the home-grown artlcle will be still greater. Proofs accumulate that agriculture in this country 1s passing through s very seveto trial.
