He could in no wise recon- cile this with the fact that the freight which the distiller in the latter city had to pay for corn shipped from Ohio, Initiana, and Illi noils must prevent honest dealers froma un derselling the Cincinnati market. Accord. ingly he came on to Washington and pr: sented the facts to Secretary Bristow, who decided to make an investigation. The first step taken was tosummon from South Carolina to Washington Supervisor Hunt. This officer was personaliy own Mr. Bristow. avd enjoyed his fullest conti dence. The statements set forth by the Cin- nati dealer were related to the supervisor, nd he received written inst re course to hen from th leans.

THE FAR WEST SKETCH oF VER. DEN- Correspontence of The Star. DENVER, COLORADO, Jane 12, 15 I bad arranged to leave Denver yesterday, but will not get away until Monday, when in a buggy with a friend I set out for Corona, on the South Platte river, 75 miles away, journey of two days, where I intend to re in two weeks.

It was once the terror of the old emigrants and explorers, but the needs of the “iron horse” for water are so imperative that deep wells have pierced the bowels of the prairie and brought the pre cious element to the surface. Along th listance the only signs of human life were at the water-stations and eating stand where were a few persons toserve the engine and passengers. At intervals an emigrant train would be passed, and now and then the ranch of cattle he: No sign of timber nothing but short grass.

Denver is an ambitious little city of so 20,000 people, and bas gas and water w and street railroads, Its public buildings ar creditable, especially those of the pablic schools. The business houses are subs with the mining regions, with other outlying piss es 1n provisions, clothing suppiies of all kinds. It is amazing to the amountof canned fruits, vegetables ant meats bronght here from the east, whence and from California this whole region ts fed, except in the two articles of beef and mut- ton. The streets are clean and of good width, and from the nature of the soil, bard an smooth as a bowling-alley, never gaaddy, but when a high wind sweeps down from the mountains, very dusty. The dwellings ar. chiefiy of brick, standing alone, never mor than two-stories high, and mostly of on story. AS NOTHING GROWS WITHOUT IRRIGATION except prairie grass, the town and adjacent country for a diameter of foar miles are irri gated by two canals leading from the moun tains, One on the west and one on the east side of Platte river.
