Georgetown and its Surronndings -=Mining Camps and Prospects ~-Beantiful Scenery. Etc Correspondence of the Globe Demoerat Grororrows, Col., June 12,1t may give you an_idea of what a glor ious climate this one of Colorado is when the most overcrowded of the Denver dressmakers says that she has not been made up a muslin dress in five years. The sun may glare fierce ly av, but any where in the shade | it is cool, and at night the air is tem pered refreshingly. The actual merits [of the pl @ forced upon us by hearing an honestfaced woman on the train declare that “‘Denver was stif |ing,” that she *“‘most melted down | there.”” Down there, so contemptuous- |1y spoken of, only hes a tritle of - | 000 feet above the sea level, and one | not accustomed to its clear, day air finds all their winter cloathing still grateful. The Denver citizen thinks [ it is vory warm, and will sit mopping his brow aud puffing when an Eastern tonder-foot wants an extra wrap to nding with, As for that thankless woman of Georgetown, T should like to put her on the beach at Long Branch any of these days and see 1f she would ever call Denver hot again, | | Really, this pretty town in the| | mountains might svoil one,for the cit walls are precipitous mountain sides, | with snow patches shining through the | pine trees, and the cternal snows of | Gray's Peak always in sight, Creck is a clear creek along her: has an icy rpple to it as it tears through the valley, every boulder, pebble and strip of sand in its bed | visible. Lying at the head of a 1 row valley, the *Silver Quecn,” they Georgetown, is shut in on every side by the steep spurs of the mountains, and the roads ont of it must either wind np the dizzy slope or twist their way along the creel banks. Gray's Peak, that is sharp, black and white by twilight, and has all the dazzling roflections of blue and rose and gold at sunset, lies fourteen miles from the town, and crowns the moun- ain region. This “Dome of the Con- tinent” is a fine old giant in the range f hoary summits that are in line with it, and at its feet lies the silver beltin which the miners of Central City and Georgetown have so long worked. opportunity to approach the Peak was given in an invitation from the manager of the Atlantic and Pacific Tunnel company to ride out to their amp on Kelso Mountain. The tun- which proposes to pierce both o and Gray's Peak, will emerge at the west end of its four miles on the other side of the great watershed of the continent, and thus gains its dou- ble name, The water that drains from one end of the tunnel will find its way to the Gulf of Mexico; from the other end it will be carried off to the Pacific ocean. At that early hour there was a string of miners with their dinner ans going up and down the rond, and climbing up the narrow paths among the rocks, some of them 8o high up that it was only by a reflection of the swinging cans that they could be hted. A grizzled old fellow, sit- on a rock with a can on his knees gave us a comprehensive glance as we tlew by. Then we learned that his was the proud pleasure to have ed one of the swi we sent out by a New York mining com- pany to manage one of their cases. "The precocicus yeung sprig of Goth- am undertook to be loftily , humorous in his cross-questioning of this piece of old bed rock. The old prospector isnoted for his sharp-edged tongue, and, glaring ferociously at the strip- ling lawyer, answered his questions in jhunder tones. “I've been a iner forty-years,” he replied, taking in the measure of his young prosecutor with such a glance that the youngster soon dismissed the witness amid a roaring court-room. Further on a darky lounging in a doorway attracted all eyes, and proved to be the superintendent of a tunnel company, a high-handed, autocratic overseer of a lot of white workmen, His contempt for his white slaves is boundless, and when the Irish serf dawdles along and drags his heels in unconcern, the ebon overseer tells him that “‘if he had him down South he would sell him.” How the times do change, and the customs with them! To those who are up on mining news and posted in mining history, the sight of the Terrible mine, the Silver Plume, the Dives and Pelican, and a dozen_celebrated workings that o pointed out, might have been highly interesting. To us there was more in the picturesque confusion of the hills, the windings and cascades of the creek, and the constantly near- ing snow peaks, “Over there,” quoth Mr. Kelly, indicating a ragged hill-side with his whip-lasl, ‘“have been found some of the richest pieces of ‘float’ in the country, but the prospectors have been ‘digging for ten years, without finding the vein.” And, sure enough, the hill-side was scratched, dug over nd pierced with innumerable holes, 8 if wild animals had been tearing it up. 'The patient prospector has tried every foot of the ground in vain, and given the tantalizing thing up, only to be followed by another, Sl by others, i UP THIS VALLEY, besid k in its leaps, windings and roarings through miniature can- yons, the surroundings grow all the time wilder, and after seven miles or 80 we left this road, that in midsum- mer leads on over the snowy sum- mits to Leadville, Zigzagging up a steep spur of McClellan mountain, the thick pines make dense shadows in the gorges below and hide the slopes above. The trees mark the way on | either hand with a thick, dark wall of trunks and branches, and between them one gets an occasional glimp upward and outward of dazzling sno fields and hoary summits, In the open places, the mark of the timber line, the limit of regular vegs tation on the mountains, can be seon | on all the heights near, and way | above this inhospitable region were the dump piles and buildings of mine: These swallows' nests in the air, whe the men work in winter as well as summer, are most astonishing, and it is a mystery how some of them are reached. Hard asit may be to get up to them in winter, the miners have a way of getting down that far exceeds bobsledding in swift excitement. The reckless fellows sit on their spade: with the handle in front of them, | choi | the cal MONDA | sling their picks over their shoulders {and whizz down like streaks of bluc jean lightning. They keep this u until they wear a groove in the snow {80 deep and smooth that they on slide down without shovels, and ther their winter sport is at its height. At the Atlantic end of the new tw nel were workmen putting up stone buildings to replace the present It structures, and utilizing for it the granite blasted out of the heart of ol Kelso, Carrying ttering candl we picked onr way through the moist loom for 400 feet, where workmer with powerful hammers were makin the cavern ring with their steady blows upon the drill, They made quite a_picture in the candle-light one stalwart figure holding and _turn ing the long dnll, and the two Titans beside him raining down their blows with such force that y could h the whistle of the hammers throug the air before thoy struck. Ther was a fascinacion in the regular thythm of the blows, the free sweep and sweep and swing of the arms and the perfect poite of the figures, What an anvil chorus they could beat out t verdi's immortal score! Rather unlike the way it was recently wiven in a Washington theatre—not by a bur lesque troupe, either—when five louts with tack-hammers came out and pounded on one little anvil, and the audience took it without smiling. The French cook, who presided over the digestions of the seventy men who work on the tunnel, prance forth with bows and smiles to know what should be commanded for ou refreshment. Promising us cotel lettes de mouton pannee, and the of his canned luxuries to be ready tor us atnoon, we drove fur ther up the mountain, to penetrate far towards Grey's Peak as possible within that time. NO TOURISTS, OR ‘PEAKERS,” as they call them, have ascended this year, and the few men who sealed the mountain a fortnight ago reported deep snows and an icy trail yot. The Kelso cabin, where the peakers sts over night, is just below the timber line, and there are snow banks amony the trees that protect it, and drifts filling the corrals to their roofs. Auntio Lane, who keeps the cabin in summer and goes down to Georg town in the winter to enjoy the profits of her season, is an esteemed charac ter in this scction, daughter-in-law to help her, the cheery old lady is ready to weleome the strangers and accommodate them inher rude but spotlessly clean cabin. The mugs of wild flowers in the win dows and the perfect neatness of the little rooms delight the eye, and on her beruftled pillows, with the lullaby of the pine trees and the brooklet, one could find the blisstul, dreamless sleep if anywhere in the world. Tt was arranged for us to start as as to get over the steepest ride before the heat of the day. “Ie heat” of the day, forsooth. When I shivered down stuirs in_ulster and heaviest wrap pings, and begged to go to the fire, anywhere to thaw out my benumbed fingers, the waiter girls at the Barton house rustled around the dining-room in them freshly starched calico dresses and complacently said that maybe it might seem cold to us, but that they never noticed it. THE KEEN, COOL aTk OUT DOORY made the horses frolesome as kittens, and they started off with a bound that made the prospective ten miles dwin- dle considerably. With doubled lap- robes the way was cool and a muff would have been the most acceptable thing in the world. Climbing up the side of a hill on a ledge of road, there were glimpses of tiny streams trickling down from the snows above, and one that fell over a long, smooth rock on the hillside is what the Georgetown people have called Bridal Veil. 1t is the most airy, gossamor bit of wa and in its size and shape wholly fits out the semblance to a floating veil of tulle. Around this cabin, side by side with the snow, are patches of ground pur- ple with the delicate anemones and blue with the bluebells, that bloomed over a month ago on the plains, A mile further up, at the Stevens mine, are big bluebells, such bluebells as no one could resist. Though to reach the place the wheels sank deep in slush and the melting snow stuck in the horses’ feet, the flowers grew even more luxuriantly than below timber line. Through openings way up on the face of the rock the ore from the mine was shot down in buckets that wmoved on invisible wires and rolled down in cars that traversed a nearly perpendicular track, an empty car be- ing drawn up by the scending one, _At this level of 13,000 feet there was wonderful optical de- ceptions in the thin air, and it was perfectly useless to try to guess at distances, The cook of this mine ran forth eagerly to see what strange wheels had come that way, and to in- sist that we should all enter and par- take of his freshly baked mince pies, A mince pic in June is rather out of season, but with snow all around one and flakes of snow beginning to float in the air, it was all in keeping, and we did justice and paid all honos to the cook and his pies. Gathering the big 5 with snow-flakes in their azure cups, ane- mones and their fuzzy little sced ballg burning buds of Indian pinks, tiny dwarf sun-flowers and the countless yellow blossoms, T had soon a double handful fof lowers. The Fremch cook at the tunnel put them in a tin can, to grace the end of the table in the mess- room, and mourned and wondered that we had no greater appetites/after such an early breakfast. Not one of us dared confess the treachory of the mince pies at the Stevens' mine, and we worked heroically at the beauti- fully browned cutlets just to spare the artist's feelings. Holding my tin can of flowers in both hands all the way down to 7 blue-l | Georgotown, T filled it up again with ice-wator, preparing to cary my Al- pine trophies into Denver, ~Sitting in the first woman entered and smiled when she saw the great bou- (quet. “Oh! you've been up above the line, How lovely they are! And that is the soed-ball of the anemone of which Helen Hunt speaks in ‘Bits of Travel.’” Auother lady entered. ‘“Why, have you been on .the Peak! You know what Helen Hunt says of the ane- mone's seed-ball?” A third wearer of a Thompson ware came, stopped at my flowers and said, With a son and| early as 6 o'clock in the morning, so| Y JUNE 20, 1881, Where did you get them? Oh 1 ¢ Helen Hunt It was too much, and 1 interrupted with a question of my own about a flower that 1T was perfectly well ac inted witl That's the yollow sweet-pea,” she swered me; ‘‘there's a great deal of such papillonaceous growth in these rountains. Helen Hunt | Her words struck unheeding ears, for T was stunned with the polysylla ¢ reply. Then along came great | tall man, an amiable giant, whose ca- | werous countenance lighted with smiles when he saw the flowers that T was so carefully holding, ‘T know where you've been, mom! Let me fix it for you, where it won't upset.” And with fire shovels and lizhits of coal, he wedged it in so that il the pitching and jerking of the train disturbed it not The ride of fifty miles through the | valley and canyon of Clear Creek, and wross the plain to Denver, just as the last light was fading from the sunsot sky, 18 one never to be forgotten Every foot of the wayis beautiful, wnd in the wilder parts of the canyon s pair of eyes hardly suflicod. ~In ¢ open observation car there was lit tle annoyance from smoke or cindors, | as in the descent of 3,000 foet but lit tle steam is needed to pull the train, Clear Creek canon was one bed of flowers and everything that can bloom i this lovely month shook out its| blossoms in that favored spot. Thick- | ots and mats of wild roses maae the air fragrant; Indian pinks made blazes of color on the banks; purple thistle and huge trembling white poppies grow dmost within reach, cactus blossoms, crimson, golden, green and salmon color, covered the rocky ground, and wild geranium and wild verbona, a dozen different yollow flowers, and | the stately yucea blossoms, with their [score of drooping creamy cups, were {enough to send one into ecstacies AT THE FORKS OF THE CREE wh the train from Central City joined us, the sandwich vender point- |ed out the very beam of the bridge | from which the opera singer jumped [ nto the torrent the day before. The funny man of the Soldene company, the abandoned creature who sang the imbeeile ballad of “All on Account of Eliza,” in Billee Taylor, took a head- er into the stremmn to seare his wife, {most probably, as he was an expert swimmer. The swift current swopt | him off in a tri and buffetted him | against its terrible rocks without o | chance of help re ing him. Do- | mestic infelicity was tho eause, 1f it | was suicide, and the company, all dis- | liking the obnoxious Hersee, left word to find the body 1f they could, and }\\'onl on their That night an- | other man sang his and the wife, | who was the dancer of the troupe, | skipped out in her sailor suit and | smilingly attempted to dance to the audience, while poor Herseo's body still lay in the muddy torrent, pounded |against the rocks and slowly swept | further down the stream. | All the hanging rocks, profile rocks, cathedral rocks, and rocks a thousand | feet straight up from the water, do | not possess that human interest tor | one that the narrow turn of *“Tough | Cuss Bend” has. No guide book re- s the story, but all the pioncers know how it came by tne name. In the early days when a wagon road ran | through’ this part of the defile, a | teamster came to a wash-out of the road too serious for him to think of getting over. The road was only as wide as his wheels could stand on, there were the straight rocks up on one side and the boiling current down on the other, and no possibility of turning. The helpless teamster sat down in his frenzy, put his elbows on his knees and his chin in his hands, and swore, not inthe feeble, incom- plete and ' impoverished phraseol of to-day, but swore the picturesquo and resounding oaths of the days of 50, until the canyon trembled and the waters ran by him the faster. It forms quite a picture to the mind, that solitary teamstor in the depths of the rocky canyon swearing away for an hour, and his horses - contentedly switching their tails and waiting to see what he was going to do about it. At last he swam his horses by, hitched them to the end of the wagon, and stern foremost retraced his way, to forever after give this apt name to the narrow turn, RuUHAMAH, Anemones Mr. Matt McDermott, I. ¢, R.
