COLORADO. Many tourists are visiting Estes Park this season. Crops in the vicinity of Greeley are reported as looking well. There are 477 retail liquor dealers in Colorado, 16 breweries, and 33 wholesale liquor dealers. Fifty-two Federal and Confeder- ate soldiers have agreed to parade | at Golden on the Fourth of July. The mines of Clear Creek county are being extensively worked, and generally yield rich returns. It costs twenty-seven dollars to run a broneo or train of pack don- keys through the strects of George- town. Gold and silver have again been discovered in theriver near Greeley, but the discoverer is discreetly reti- cent as to the exact locality. The United States grand jury at Pueblo has found a hundred and fifty indictments, most of them against citizens of Denver who are implicated in the Las Animas land grab. The Colorado Central Company ewploy several men to travel back | Postal cars will be inaugurated on | the Utah Northern Railroad on the 1st of July. Route Agentshave been | appointed to take charge of mail matters between Ogden and Frank- | lin; and after the date mentioned, | all through and intermediate mails for Northern Utah, Eastern Idaho | and Montana, will be conveyed | over that line. | The general election of the Terri- | tory takes place on the first Monday | in August, when the voters of the | Tespective counties will bave to choose their officers, and also elect members of the Legislative Assem- | bly, and a delegate to Congress. In | addition to those formerly elected, | probate judges will hereafter be chosen by the people as provided by a law of last winter.

The Oregon (Central Railroad, | from Portland and the Wallamet valley, now in process of construc- tion, is located on the east side of Young’s river to Astoria. Some new mines have been dis- covered between the head of the Columbia lakes,* W. T., and the bend of the Columbia, and are at. tracting a good deal of attention. J. L.

Although Gen. Burnside will doubtless continue the contest with unabated energy, the chances are now most decidedly agaivst him. The adjournment will materially enhance the value of legislative votes, and the candidate of the mitlionaire Brown's family is likely to have it all his own way by the | time the Legislature meets again. | — “MULLET, the supreme architect of | Uncle Bam’s postoffices and custom | houses has again got into hot water. | This time he has tackled a man | from Tllinois, familiarly known as | John A. Logan. Mullet is a man of rather abrupt manners, and Logan is often aisposed to part his words in #he middle. Mullet is an sccomplished swearist, and Logan frequently refers to the Massachus- setts calamity caused by the defec- | tive dam. Mullet and Logan had a rather bolsterous interview at Washington, ‘Wednesday, and Mullet remarked that Logan did not tell the truth, snd Logan was about to leave a mark upon Mullet’s left eyevrow, if Secretary Bristow had not put in a veto at that striking juncture. In fact Secretary Bristow went 0 far w5 to declare that he would | Dot permit Mallet or any other man to scatter profanity through the ‘marble halls of the treasury build- ing. The cause of this commotion is said to have been a rather re- markable exhibition of partiality toward certain Chicago contractors The crevasse in the Rio Grande river at Atrisco, which threatened | to inundate the most thickly settled portion of the valley, has been re- paired, and the water is again con- fined to its channel. One Green, late of Towa, is mov- Ing into Baker's Park, Sun Juan re- gion, with three smelters, a saw mill, and a stock of goods. * He will recelve a bonus offered by the miners of Baker's Park for the erection of | the first smelting works. Trinidad is to have an accession of immigrauts from the lately sub- merged poraon of the Mississippi valley: They say they don't believe in irrigation one hundred miles wide and are going to try the Colorado system awhile. The last institution secured by the enterprising town of Colorado Springs is the Colorado Springs Wool, Scouring and Wool Fabric Manufacturing Company. The capital stock is $50,000. The prospects for a prosperous | season in Southern Colorado are re- ported us good. The grass is luxu- riant, the cattle are healthy and fattenivg fast, and with a good de- mand for beef next fall, money will be plenty and the people bappy. D. J. Moffatt, Jr., and Messrs. Stan and Cook, recently of the Pueblo Land Office, were indicted for Loth subordination of jury and_conspiracy; for the latter ‘offence eight indictments were found against Mr. Moffatt, and six against each of the others.

Tue first one struck, the M was not very rich. The tunnel is in 1,600 feet, and is at a depth of 1,400 to 1,5 feet below the surface. No person has thoroughly made the tour of Colorado who has omit- ted Georgetown. It is a place of interest as the center of the oldest and richest silver mining district in Colorado, and also presents many attractions to the admirer of the and beautiful in nature, encircled as it is by lofty mountains, Anug the tourist will find in the hotels of the town the best and ‘completest accom! ns. Farming in the Foot-hills is being engaged in to a lavge extent. The Denver Tribune says: The valleys soil of great fertility. Many of the fields on the hill-sides as one hundred expended $250,- | 000 on it. This is thc second lode | $10,000 a wonth for wagesof em- ployes. A hitherto unknown industry— manufacturing fine-tooth combs | from the eactus—is talked of at San Diego. An “‘eminent scientist” says it can be done. | Owing to the brisk rivalry among the second-class hotels of Sacramen- to, emigrants are taken from the en a dinner and conveyed again for twenty | greenbacks. Newlan’s chair factory at Forrest- | ville, Solano county, isin full tide of | successful operation.

In cornfields it pays its entire attention to the wild Weedsin the fence corners, preferring the wire weed and alfilare. In the vineyards it has attacked it does not feed on the old vine, but goes after | the young omes, eating every leaf | and the buds at the top of the | shoots, not touching the bunches of grapes. Considerable alarm is felt by the vinevardists. | | Dr. Quixane, “an eminent chem- ist and botanist from Paris,” is in | San Diego examining the kelp sea- | weed along cur southern coast, with | & view to utilize it in a factory in | France, of which he isa representa- | tive.

A set of horse snow-shoes has been sent from Truckee to Sierra- ville, to be used on a portion of the road between Sierreville and Sierra City. Snow near the latter place is still very deep. Lake Tahoe is rising at the rate of four inches per week.. Old pio- neers say the rise is likely to con- tinue at the above rafe until August, ‘With the gates of the Von Schmidt dam_closed down at the outlet to | the Truckee river, the lake wil plohl:{ rise above the water mark of 1862, - i ve cents in | of oats, but think that wheat will be a short crop as, being eaten oft by grasshoppers, it will not have time to mature before the frosts. The prospects for small fruits this ear are excellent. Bervice berries, hortleberries, gooseberries and raspberries are all reported very plentiful in Little Blackfoot, the the mountains, and on Lost Creek canon. The most encouraging reports are continually coming in concerning the Jeflerson River mines, and the various tributaries to the Jefferson are being prospected, rich findings resulting therefrom. Several new camps have been made on Willow Creek, the Big Hole, ete. East of the mountains the grass- hoppers have eaten down even the replanted grain and the erop pros- pects look very bad.

Now that the weather has become settled, we may look for travel to the Springs and Geysers. We thiiik that it will be much greater than | last season. At the Yellowstone Springs the arrangements for the accommodation of visitors are of an excellent character, so as to make | all who visit them very comfortable indeed. After a lapse of two months, dur- | ing which time telegraphic commu- nication has been broken, the lines | are to be repaired, and intercourse | | with the outside world restored. | | Arrangements to consumate this | most desirable end have tinally been | perfected, whereby the war depart- | ment is to assume the expense of re-establishing the line between | this city and Corinne.
