LEADVILLE. Level of the Land. the Magic City of the Mountains. With Its Mineral Harvost of 81, 200,000 Per Month. o the Bditor of Tuw e Leavviiie, Col., August b, 1881, — T drop you u few lines from this Magio City of the mountains. This seems This is one a nation of worderland. of the highest citics in the world, and the most wealth producing for its gize ever known, We came into the rock, then the ore.

The superinten- | dent kindly furnished me with sever- al apecimens of ore, and 1 learned that the mineral harvest of Leadyille for the month of June, was 1,200,000 | astonishing. a aum absolutely Over a million dollars a month, and over twelve millions a year for of course the winter months can- not produce as well as the summer months, and this for a city only four | years old.

Be that as it may is they yicld only &1,2000,000 per | city in the night, and wore taken to|month we won't worry about them the Clarendon hotel said to be first class, but proved to ‘bo so only in price. Tn that respect it was very aristocratic 84 per day, with fare nc better than most of your moderate Omaha hotols. There is o great rush to it however, and I understand that their net gains have been 85,000 per month, and I should think the excess over value received would be just about that. ‘But the first impression of exorbitant rates passes away when you enter a neat modest restaurant, 1 get a good meal for 2bcts, After breakfast T climbed slowly and pain- fully Carbonate hill.

They have been at work two months. Farme s prefer to sell to the creamery because the market and the pay are surer, they say, than when they shipped it away and paid railroad tseights, As all parties to the creamery enterprise seem satisfied with the ventures, it would be well for the enterprisin farmers in some Western .\xmlunfi sections to try the co-operative creamery plan, One thing sesms scttled: creamery butter, made in quantitios by steam, is partially dis- the aricle made by the old Creamery butter now commands a fancy price among dealers, and it is hard to meet the demand. A creamery of 15,000 pounds daily capacity costs to put into operation about £6,000, Some creameries are only 5000 pounds y, ane the cost of building and A Man Who Hit a Woman. New York Sun Two nights ago, on the 7 o'clock boat from Staten Island, a well-dress- ed Trish woman of robust frame calmly removed a camp stool from beneath the extended legs of a rubicund Ger- man and put her own feet thereon. The German’s feet deck with a heartrending crash as he walked from an incipient nap, and he gazed around for the stool. "When he saw where it had gone he deliberately walked over to the woman, jerked the stool away and gave her a hearty slap in the face. Inan instant she was with myself, I pant for breath, my | tho farmers and the firma take all the | oround his neck with one arm and head swims and I have tho sensation | tisks.

Yonder is the grave i’“d' where so many were carried who died with their boots on. I look back for only a short time when the money madness seized the people, and they rushed in before bumlgl were crected, and many of them lay down to die like sheep, Here many a poor fellow caught in the swirl of debauchery died a wreck, and history shudders as she recalls that procession of the daugh- ters of shame, who ran their brick round and went to their long rest among those fir trees yonder. A fearful craze was on many a poor soul, But this frontier stage, has in a meas- ure, passed away, and Leadville secems as orderly as other cities of her size, and in the mighty struggle which always ensues butween light and dark- ness, the nobler traits of humanity predominate. Here you see probably the finest school house mn the state, churches are springing up and manned by faithful and energetic men. \l’a fell in with one Rev. Paddock, of the Congregational church., He boards himself, takes care of his own church, which isa comfortable edifice and publishes a monthly paper. He is oponing a reading room on his own responsibil- ity, and seems to be on good terms with the boys, and ona tramp he is no “tender foot.” Ho made three trips to Aspon—a town seventy miles awa; going on foot, making his way through the wountain snows, and he has gone as many as fifty miles a day on foot. The Methodist state conforence is in session, and we drop in. There is a fine body of men gathered, men of resolu.ion, intelligence, aud energy who are making themselves felt. Con- ference is precided over by Bishop ‘Wiley of Ohio, wherein we have & treat in listening to Father Taylor of California, who in a speech filled with with wisdom and eccentricity seems to warm up the cold mountain air, Speaking of the air reminds us that it is cold up here, while in your oftice you are 80 oppressed with heat you ave serious thoughts of calling in a dog to loll for you, Tam shivering.

That the business is satisfactory in this state seems to be proved beyond cavil by the rapid increase of cream- eries in Bucks county trom 16 a year ago to 38 now, As a matter which should be inter- esting to Western Maryland farmers especially a description of the mode of operating a creamery may be giv- en, The co-oparative and private con- corns are identical, 8o far as the work of manufacturing the products is con- cerned. The Hanover creamery, therefore, will bo an example of any orall the others. The building isa new and substantial two-and-a-haif story wooden structurein the suburbs, whero springs furnish pure wator not tor mixing with, but tor cooling the milk, cleaning the vats, ete. It has a dnil{ working eapacity for 10, 000 pounds of milk, counted at 84 pounds to the gallon, and cost, with a six-horse powor engine and the ma- chinery, $5,000, The price paid for milk at this time is ton conts a gallon, delivered at the creamery by 9a.m, and the wmilk| from about 600 cows 13 taken daily. The delivery includes the milking of the evening before and that of the morning following, and many wagons are required for the hauling Cream ery wagons are sent after some of the milk, and it is bought in small as well as largo quantities. The milk in cans is hoisted into the second story by an elovator, then poured into a metal receptacle, where it is weighed after being tested by the lac ometer, if the surreptitious introduction of water is suspected. Next it is carried by pipes into three wooden vats tin- lined, each vat holding about 3560 gal. lons. Teo water is continually pump- od through tin cylinders in these vats for four hours to force the cream to the top. 1t is then found that there are about three inches of good cream on the top of the milk in each vat, Now the milk is drawn off with some of the croam, and poured through pipes into huge tin-lined cheese-vats on the lowor floor, The cream is put into a cream-vat in the butter-room until next morning, when it is placed in ' large horizontal barrel-shaped churn. A belt is attached to the end of the revolving dasher, und the cream is whirled around by steam for half an hour, when the butter is made, It is taken out, salted, and put in a re- frigerator until next morning, Then it 18 reworked, printed on a hand ma- chine, boxed in ice-chests, and is sent to Baltimore or other markets, which it reuchios in u fresh and sweet condi- tion, The milk in the cheese-vats is lLicated by stemn pipes, and coloring matter and rennet are put in the lat- ter to produce coagulation, After the orso the cheese curd is dipped out and put upon racks, When salted the curd ié put in ivon woulds, and the twelve or fifteen moulds turned out daily are pressed for sixteen hours in a powerful screw.

He was hurried to their sloeping car, near the M. & C. depot, where Dr. Shepard rendered surgical aid. An examnation found it was a comminuted fracture of the worst kind about 'four inches in length, the boves being badly shattered and crushed. The name of the performer is Frank Maguire, and his home is at Biddeford, Me. He was one of the star performers of the circus, and had won a great reputation asa contor- tionist and tumbler, The manage- ment of the show were much distres- sed over the accident, and rendered every servico possible to alleviate the sufforings of the poor fellow. Ho was taken away with the show, and will be sent home, if practicable. * Be Wise and Happy: If you will stop all your extravagant and wrong notions in~ doctoring your- self and families with expensive doc- tors or humbug cure-all, that do harm always, and use only nature’s simple remedies for all your ailments,—you will be wise, well and happy, and save great expense, The greatest remedy for this, the great, wise and good will tell you, is Hop Bitters— rely on it.—[Press. al-s1b THROUGH TRAIN TO ST, PAUL, On and after July 11th, 1881, the Sioux City & Pacific train will leave the U, P, transfer at 7:16 p. m., running through to St. Paul, viaSioux v route The Classlical, Philosophica, Scientific and Oiy- pare fwyorably with nry. on'in the Preparato- nts, and in the Conserys ssors and Teachers. lor Buildings, Museum, Laboratory an 1 Apparatus, ‘Lxponsss Low, Fal term opens & For catalogues or other ind w ISR b D. 8.
