Wouderfal Nataral Resonrces and De- velopment of the §'alc---Mincs, Catile, and Railroads, Improvement in the Quality and the Breeds of Oattle—Winter Feed- ing Becoming Fopular and Profitable Correspondence Cleveland Leader, Gunnlson Clty is located at the janc- tlon of three beantiful rivers, the Gun- nlson, Temlchl, and Ohlo, the two last rather small for the name of rlver, bat like the Gunnison river, beautifal, clear, rapid-running streams, and all abounding In mountaln trout of the sweetest and best quallty, and furnishing unlimited sport to the tourist. as well as to the na- tive fishermen. But leaving out of the questlon the locatfon of the clty, the prettlest In Colorado, the beauty of the rivers and valleys, immediately surround- ing, and lying both above and below the clty for many miles. I have been and am still further surprised and confounded st the grand resources of this country, and every day adds eome new source of wealth, only awaiting capital to bring it to the front, Just think of it— Immense velns of anthracite, bituminous, and cok- Ing coal of superior quality and easlly mined; great mountains of ron of the best qaallty; lime ledges, building stone, saying nothing of the great silver and gold belt, which, running up within twenty fo thirty miles of the clty, nat- arally draw thelr supplles from ft. RAPID DEVELOPMENT. In 1879 three or four small log cabins, used by the Indlan agent and fora kind of trading post, composed all the im- provements of the place, But now, how changed! The Laveta hotel has been erected at a cost of $200,000, and is a model rotreat of comfort and laxury. Mountain trout from the oryatal waters of the Giunnison river in great abundance and belng fresh from the water, are per- fectly delicious when sorved up a la - veta, There are also two or three other good hotels in tho clty; all well spoken of; two large smelting establishments, one owned and operated by the Moffats, of Joplin, (Mo.) lead smelt!ng fame, The other by the Swans,the groat cattle kings of Oolorado and Wyoming, Thero aro two dally and two weekly nowspapers supported by the town, and gas and water works, all completeand in opera— tlon. A sito has been selected for iron and steel works, and this enterprise will be putia operatlon as soon s the de- prossed Iron Interest recuporates suffi- clently to justify It. Tho mining camps tribufary ‘to this clty are numerous, among the most prominent of which are Petkin, Ruby, Tomichi, White Pine, Tin Cuop, Aspen, and Ashcroft, and Crented Bute and Mount Carbon among the coal mine contributors, 'The grade of the ores In these several camps is said to bo wonderfally high, aversging far above the celebrated Lesdville dls- trict, RAILROADS AND BIVERS, The railroad facilitles ot Gunnison are ansurpassed, The Denver & Rio Grande railroad, from Denver and Pasblo, and over Marshall Paes, or the continental divide, to Gunnison, and thence to Salt Lakoand Ogden, furnishes an outlet east and west, and for scenic beauty the graudest on this contlnent is seen on this route. Then the South Park, a branch of the Union Pacific, gives another outlet to Donver and the east. Tho business and passonger trafilc of the Burlington, and Atchlson, Topeka & Sante Fe rall- roads, going west of Denver and Paeblo, contribute to the great scenic route of the Denver & Rlo Grande road, and add greatly to the traffic of this road. Three beautiful rlvers, crystal streams flowlng down through fertile valleys from the snow-capped mouatains from a junc- tlon at Gunuoison, The Ohlo and Tomi- chi losing their identity in the beautifal Gunnism, which winds its way for hun- drads of miles through the grass-covered valleys of the Gannison. These valloys ‘border on the foothills of the mountains, and for miles and miles up the gradual slope. Tueae foothllls and low moun- taine are covered with that well-known and famous gramma bunch grass, which {s iudlgenous to this country. These valley lands along the river are taken up and owned by cattle braeders,—somo owning small, some large herds, and when they acquired government title or pat- onts to their claims thoy virtually own thousands of acres of cholce grazing lands, running out into the foothills and lower ravges of mountain, a8 without these water rights, which almost abso- lutoly control the entrance to these na- tive pastures, they are worthless to any one else, and theso settlers have now coms to know the value of auch rights, and it takes money to buy them, LAND IN THIS SECTION having water for Its own_irrigation, and controlling the mountain and foot-hill ranges, will at no dietant day be worth fabulous prices—and on their own mer- its, too, You take 500 acres good valley land, ownlng its own water for frrigation, That land can be wattered, broken, and reeded in Alfalto or California clover for eay §0 per acre, or §3,000 for 500 acres, The usual crop is b tons per acre, and the usual price (average for b years past) §15 per ton, But suppose you only grow 2} tons to the acre, and you sell st $10 per ton, we have 1,260 tons of Alfalfa hay, at $10 per ton, or $12,600 for 1 year on an outlay of $3,000, and the whole ex- pense of barvesting & crop of thls size would not exceed $1,600, ‘‘But hold on,” you say, ‘thls being such a profitable crop everybody will be into it and the vrlee will soon go down and your profits with them,” But not s0. Agrioultural lands in Colorado, without water for irrigation are worthlesa —and there is not water enough in the state to irrlgate sufficlent land to ever half supply even the home demand. Henoe those who have secared good val- ley or mesa lands with their own water rights freo of cost have alroady the foun datlon for heavy fortunesr Further- more, If at ané time the markat shonul be glutted with the overprodustion of hay, in the valleys. and a good price can- not be realized, the owner has only to bay from any of the large cattle raisers in the fall us many steers as he has hay to feed, and he wlll not only make a markot for bis hay, but will fifty per cent more for it in the beef he puts on his steers than he would if eold at the usual price. 1 now come to THE CATTLE INTEREST itaelf. A majter to which I have given a great dool of study, aud have formed my conclusions after many interviews and in- quiriea with some of the oldest and most sucoessful cattle breeders in the west, but of one thing T was much sarprised, and that was the almost universal ten- dency amopg fhe old practioal stock ralsers to curtall the number of thelr herds and to breed better cattle, to keep — thelr cattle more ander thelr own super- vision and limit the extent of their ranges, and to feed hay, whersver prac: tieable, in winter. Instead of allowing, their atock to drift with the winds and roam over hundred of miles of territory, and mixing with everybody else’s cattle, dying or wanderlng off never to be reen sgain, they are fast adopting the close quarter rule, and, strange to say, they insist that the profits from the latter plan are far greater than the old way. They breed better atock and raise better beef. The death rate is almost nothing; the In. crease i fally 30 per cent more than in the promiscuous herd, and the price when they come to market thelr cattle is far better, The profits from legltimate stock raising In this country are simply Immense, and a comparatively emall amount invested In the business, and well managed, usually makes a millionalre In from elght to ten years - 160 acres land controlling & small rance, and that the owner can Irrlgate 80 that he oan cutfrom 160 ro 250 tons of hay, with 100 high grade cows and three thoroughbred bulls, will become, with good management, a rich man in ton years. In other words, the Increase of his cattle alone will pay thirty for one In ten years, and if his cattle are of high grades and thorough- breds, they would bs worth at the end of ten years at least $200,000, and the wholo origlual outlay did not exceed $6,000. The result can be demonstrated by the success of hundreds of breeders all over the west. Our people in the enst had better wake up and get some of these good things before they are ‘‘non come-at-able.” TRAVELER, o — The Seventeen-Year Liocusts, Philadelphia Ledger. Three strange members of the bug famlly, commonly known as ‘‘seventeen- year locusts,” wore plcked from the leaves of a treo in Washington Square early yostorday morning and brought to the Pabllc Ledger office, They are said to be among the first seon In' thi clty for soventoen years. 'Thay are ncarcely more than hef the size of the white- bodiod olcada, which is a yearly visitor to the park snd eqnares, and, unliko it, they aro of a recdish brown color, with protrudiog red eyes. Profensor Joseph Leidy, of the Uni- voreity of Pennsylvanla, was shown the ineects later in the dsy. They were, he eaid, the first he had seen for a long tite, though daring the morning ho had examlned the boughs of the {rees at his summer residence at Walllngford, In the vain hope of findlng some, knowing this was the year they wera oxpected to visit theee parts, after an abzence of seven- toen summers, Placing one of the Insects in his hand an fearles:ly as it it were a fly, Dr. Leidy told an interesting and instructlve story of 1ts life and habits. *“‘Don’t make the very common erzor,” he began,” of call- ing them locusts, for they are not locusts, but cicadas. All the locusts In the world are nothing but_grasshopperz, and while grasshoppers will est every bt of green they can get hold of, all the clea- das in the land can’t eat a blade of grass, 80 they are not much to be feared. John the Baptist while he was preaching in the wilderness lived, we are told, on lo- custs and wild honey. This doesn’t mean that he fed on what are commonly called locusts, but the meat was that of of grasshoppors, which the Digger In- dians to this day esteem a luxury. ““Another popular error,” Dr. Leidy wont on to say, ‘‘is that these clcadss do agreat deal of damage to trees, and only recently I heard a learned professor In a sclentlfic lecture tell his audience of the ravages of these animals on the bark of a tree which he had seen from the window of a rallroad car. The sev- enteen-yeay cicadss subslst entirely under the ground, on the julce which they suck from the roots of trees, and are as harm- less as any animal that ever breathed. I have pever known of a single case of & person having been stung by a cicadas, and It is ao impossibllity for them to bite, ‘‘Strange to say these clcadas appear in one part of the United States one year,” said the professor, “‘and In another part the following summer, but seven. teen years slways elapse between their visits to the same place. Only last sum- mer when] there was not a vestige of them around the clty I eaw large num- bers in the neighborhood of Spring Lake, N. J. While the cloadas ara rather scarce here now the first warm sunshiny day we have will bring them out in ear- nost. They came out of the ground, leaving holea large enough to admit your fingers, Theso ‘chimneys’ are often two feet in depth, and the young cloadas as- cend and decend in them until they are nearly mature, when they climb up a tree and throw off thelr laryal shells, ‘‘Then the male insests fly around for aboeut a fortnight, sounding thelr ‘drums,’ as if to call the attention of their mates before they disappear forever. The ‘crop’ never lasts longer than two weeks, Only the male Inseots are poseessed of organs of sound perfectly developed. These are in no way counected with the mouths or throat, but may ba described as & white sac nearly the eiza of a pea, under the body and between the thorax and abdomen. This ‘drum’ s cperated by means of a powerful muscular move- ment, *‘The femalo has a saw-like appendage with which she cuts around the thin branch of a tres, and In these crevices she doposits her eggs. This twig, never more than a foot long, is likely to wither and drop to the ground and carry the eggs with it, Soon after they are hatch- ed the youug burrow to the juley root of a tree, and there remain until fally de- velloped, a term of seventeen years, In case the twig does not drcp off, the eggs remaln In it untll they are hatched, and the young fall to the graund snd take the course I have just spoken of. 1 once called on an eminent Philadelphia physi- clan, now deceased, who during the vislt went to his fire-proof safe, and took from it the small end of the limb of a tree, This he told me he had fovnd one feason that the seventeen-year cloada had been here, and it contained the egg Inseots, My frlend entertained the de- lusion that the eggs remalned In a quies- cent state, snd that at the expiratlon of seventeen years the dead eulck wounld yield a crop of clcadas, On the transparent wing covers of each cicada are [veins which incline in the shape uf the letter ““W.” This in often times was constructed as the ominous initlal of the word ‘‘war,” and the year in which the visitatlon of the seventeen cicadas was expeoted, Dr, Lelda seid, in concluding the convereation, was looked upon by some in olden tlmes as certaln to bring carnage or some other evil with it, but the prophecy was seldora if ever falfilled, — * % * A disease of 8 dellcate a na- ture aa strivture of the uretha should only be entrusted to those of large experience and ekill, By our improved methods we have been enabled to speedily and per- manently cure buudreds of the worst cases’ Pawmphlet, references and terms, three letter stamps, “Vorld’s Diepensary Medlcal Association, 063 Malo street, Buffalo, N, Y, THE DAILY BEE--FRIDAY, JUNE 12, 1885, S —— IN THE BOSTON STYLE. A Seance &t Which There Was Lots of Fno. Medinm, Reporter and Spirits Hold a Parley — Garlands From Another World, New York Mercury, In the spirltualistic field there are many competitors, and on the basis of a gen- eral bellef in the communion of splrits with mortals are set up many different shops snd medes of manifestation, Miss Maud Lord, s representative of Boston's best Ideas on the spirituallstic bellef, came to New ) ork last week to TEACH SOMETHING NEW, belng attracted by the Mercary's atten. tlon to the subject, Mies Lord calls her- self ‘‘a physical and test medium.” She is certainly physically, welghing about Then a beautiful female form arose right batween his knees and.the medinm cried “Don’t you see her? How beautifall There she s, right bstween you and me!” Suddenly a dellclous odor of fresh flow- ers graeted the reporter’s olfactory nerves, “She brings you flowers,” sald the medi- um, enthusiastically. ““And she says this is for the flower YOU PLANTED ON HER GRAVE,” The reporter could mnot recollect that be had ever planted flowers on any lady's grave, nor was he oat wlth the boys on Decoration day. However, the thing was too practically pleasant to disavow. “iCan any of these splrits tell me who she a7’ the reporter asked. *‘‘No, not just now.” “I thought so. Then I ask as a test that some of them do so.” ““They wlll later on,” explalned the mediom, “and there Is one that lately pissed over who 1s very anxions to communicate with you,” At this polnt a rore was slipped Into the reporter’s hand by some mynterions agency and a apirit voice sald: “That is from your sister.” After a pause the medinm said: ““You have a sister here one hundred and elghty pounds, Miss Lord does not give materlalizing soances, and in this her good judgment comes in. Last Thureday evening Miss Lord gave A SEANCE IN A PRIVATE RESIDENCE on West Forty-third street. 1t was a clrcle of twenty—ten ladies and ten gen- tlemen, and the Mercary was among them, Mias Lord, in the formation of the oircle, displayed a keon knowledge of human nature, as ehe was scrupnlous in placing a gentleman between two ladies, and correspondingly a lady be- tween two gentlemen, The clrcle was formed in the back patlor, and before the lights were turned out, Miss Lord stepped into the center and msde a little speech. She sald the atmosphere was very closo and hesvy, which might interfere with the coming of the epirita, There did not eeem to ba enough clec- triclty to vivify the splrits, IBut with this drawback and the presence of so many strangers she thought there would be a_good elrcle. A chalr] for the medium was then placed in the center of the clrcle, the light was turned off and the room became as dark as Erebus. “Now all join bands,” sald the medi- um. Hands were joined in the darkness and drawn into each othera’ laps. “*Now,"” snid tho medinm, ““let some sheptlc place his feet sgalnat mine eo that he will know I cannot leave the chair,” SOON THE SPIRITS DEGAN TO ARRIVE, An old doctor made a great time over the troope of spirita that came around him. “They are the spirits of those who you have killed in your practice, come to hold an indignation meeting,” observed a sarcastlc female voice, and there was a roar of laughter around the clrcle at the expense of the dootor. “Not so!” ho protested, *‘for they all seem friendly.” ‘‘Then they are thank- ing you for a good thiug in having has- tened them over to the spirit land.” A testy old gentleman was then treated toa company of spirite. ‘*“This is all very well,” he sald, ‘‘but they ought to tell thelr names. I want eome test of that kind.” T wish T could glve you eatlsfaction, but you must be savisfied with what the spirits glve you,” explatned the medium, “They have glven me nothing definite yot. So far It is all guesswork,” retorted the old gentleman, ready to argue ths point right there. The good pature of the modium came to her aidaud pre- vented a wrangle. Then some person suggested that as the seance seemed out of gear, It would be well to have some singing, as the commingling of volces in unison around the ofrcle would produce harmony and bring the spirits back. A revival hymn was sung, and asthe chorus of the firet verse dled away, sounds of ‘‘smack, smack” — ‘‘pop—squee’ arose from several places in the circle. AS THESE SUGGESTIVE SOUNDS came out through the total darkness a thrill of laughter went all around the hand locked—or supposed to be hand- locked—cirole. One male voice, evl- dently that of one of the gullty ones,eaid: “‘Hera they are on my knee, climbing up to kiss me.” The lady on the right of the reporter leant her face over toward his and sald she was herself a mediam, although she had never given any puolic seances. The reporter leant over his face and #aid he was delighted to have the honor and pleasure of sitting beside a medium, Juat then the attention of all was attracted by the crushing of frall wood work und the falling of a chair, This caused qulte a commotion and the sald if the friends on that slde would not keep better order she would stop the seance right there. It was explained that a chair had fallen, but why a chair ghould have fallen in a clrcle where all the chalrs wers occupted and tho sitters’ hands locked in each other was not ex- platned. The circle was now in A SPIRIT OF BOISTEROUS MERRIMENT and every mon squeezed the hands of his right and left femals bower by way of cheering on the fun, The circle was brought to order by the appearance of spirlt lights moving all around, while a peal of thunder onteide evoked tho re- mark from the medium, ‘‘Tuat is good. 1t will lighten the stmosphere and enable the spirits to more clearly and strongly define themselyes,” The medium then moved her position, going sround from west to east, and placed her foet against those of a very tall country looking chap in a gray sult, who had with him a_ spare young woman of some six feet In helght, But the electric current did not get united between him and the medium, who In- formed him that he was too positive, too self contalned and drawn into himself, One foot I can feel, but the other seems to have no feellng whatever,” she who was not regularly in the family— not known as one of your family, YOU WILL HAVE TO EXPLAIN,” “Can’t do it,” replied the reporter. ““A slster not in the famlly Is too para- doxical a problem for me to solve. Be- sldes, my father was a atriotly moral man.” The ladles all tittered and some of the men guffawed. “‘There wera eight all told In your family,” the medlum remarked. “My father owned up to fourteen, and all reg- ular,” responded the reporter. “‘That's a good showing,” observed an old gentleman in the opposite side of the circle. THE MEDIUM, THE REPORTER and the epirits horo held a parloy to straighten out the matter. This was In- terrupted by two or threo littlo screams from the other slde of the house. ““Here she i3 on my lap,” cried a male voice. ‘Oh, ke has hold of me,” cried a female voles. **She has got hold of my hair now,” chuckled another male volce. *Such lovity I8 unseemly on such an oc- caslon and in the dark,” protested the reporter. “‘Is this a varlety show or a communion with the spirlts?” “You need not eay any such thing,” sharply cried tho female volce which had spoken as above, *You need not eay we are making any varlety show. We are doing nothing of tho kind,” The medl- umistlc lady at the reporter's right whis- pered to him that the spirits themselves were fond of fun just the same as mor- tale, and a spirit hand patted him on the knee, while a spirlt volce sald, ““That’s all right, Let them enjoy themselves.” THE HARMONY, HOWEVER, WAS BROKEN up and the medium led whils the circle followed In the singiog of “Nearer My God, to Thee.” While the singlng was golng on a large bouquot of flowers was mysterlowsly thrust into the reporter's hand and he was delightfully fanned by a spirtt. The spirits ecomed to have comblned to glve him a good time. The hymn ended, the medium, addressing the reporter, cried out In horror, “‘A frlend of yours has met with a sudden death. 1t ls suicide.” Some of THE LADIES SCREAMED, “Impossible,” declared the reporter. I have no friend so idiotlc a8 to do any such thing. They would sooner sulcide somebody else than themselves.” “Accldent,” whispered a spirlt, putting its hand on the reporter’s knee. This correction brought relief to the nervous ladies, ond the medium passed on. ““Your father was drowned,” she told a lady. “Oh, dear, how did you know that?’ the latter responded. ““Yes,” resumed the medium, ‘‘and it was from a vessel—not one of our modern bid steamers, but a veseel—a—a—well, some sort of u vessel.” Then there was a rousing smack, and the lady exclaimed. ““That was my father's kles, I know! I would know it from all others.” THERE WAS SOME COMMOTION and shofiling of chalrs, and something that sounded like the rustic of a silk dress in the disorderly air of the circle, and the medium observed: *‘There are too many sllk dresses In theroom. They are non-conductors and militate agalost the succees of the seance. We will now close.” A match was struck, the gas 1t and the circle broke up, The seance Jasted from e'ght until ten o'clock. Miss Lord’s performance is all in total dark- ness, and is the jolllest affalr of the klnd the Mercury investigator has yot partici- pated in, but his faith In spirnt manifes— tations was not established by It. ———— AJPARALYZED BARBER. He Trics to Out a Farmer's Hair and Finds He Wears o Wiz, There's a new barber ina Smithield streot shop, says the Pittaburg Dispatch, who i5 said to blush every timo @ custo- mer comes In with a head of hair of over a week’s growth, The cause of his trouble is this: A well-known Moon township farmer came in Saturday, and, mounting the chalr, lay back for a shave “Haic'’s getting rather thin on top,” ventured the barber as he lathered his victim’s chin, *‘Yes,” responded the gentloman seri- ously. “We've got the dandy tonic here,” veutared the barber when about half through, *‘Good, is 17" sald the man in the chalr affably, “Why, Il grow halr on sn egg,” re- eponded the barber, he paused to pat the top of his customer’s head. “Now, you're getting quite bsld up here, an’ I'll remarked, The carrent appeared to have been lost, and for some tlme the performance was unsatlsfactory. “Come up this way, I'm in good electrical condltion, and I want to prese my foot to yours and ask you some (ues- ticns,” sald the Mercury man to the me- dium, who seemed to consider the sug- gestion a good one, for sho passed a gen- tloman whese name turned oub w be “Tke,” and hurrled up to the reporter, ““Jke" protested that he WANIED HIS FEET PRESSED to those of the medium, The reporter rose for his rights, He had one of the medium’s feet all to bimself, but found Ike's big foor contesting poesseesion of tho other, The reporter wanted to know if this wes a fair deal, and if the presence of an Inharmonlous raan’s foot on the me- dium’s rlght elpper would not spoil the reporter's spirlt reception, Tae gond- natared, jolly medium eaid, **No," but ignored lke and told the veporter there were five beautlful spirits around him.

PARTED BY HOME-MADE PIES. An Illinis Beanty Will Not Enter 4 Boarding-Honse, A Nowly Wade Wite Prefers Divorce to the Misk of Having Her Digestion Impaired, Galena, TIl,, Special Soclety circles In this clty are just now divided in opinion over a local domestic drama which commenced In 1883 and ended last Saturday. In_April, 1883, Mr. John MacMahcn led Miss Mary Lilly to the hymeneal altar, from which the bride depacted to her own home, where she remained, re- fueing to consummate the marrlage,from which she was finally released by Judge Brown, who granted her a divorce with the right to resume het malden name, Tho cause of this strange actlon on the partof Miss Lilly was not owing to any misconduct on the part of the groom or rofusal on his part to provide for her support, but because of her declded and deep-rooted prejudics agaiust boardlng- houses. Before consenting to become Mrs. Mac- Mahon the fair Lilly had exscted a prom- ise from her lover to commence house- keeping Immediately on the conclusion of the marriage ceremony, bat Mao, as his male companions call” him, was & jolly doeg and would have promlsed her, with equal ressons, a slice of the moon if she had requested it. Mary Lily loved Mac fondly, but know- ing o8 she did the mlsery-producing cap- acity of the average Galena boarding house, she herofcally resolved to surren- der her heart's tenderest emotions rather than shipwreck her happiness In trying to ‘‘wrastle” with the etheraal bill of fare of a fashionable boarding housa. The bride had not Ineisted before the ceremony upon seeing the ‘‘home” to which John had promised to lead her, because he had allayed her susplcions by vaguely hinting at a nice surprize he had in store for his tootsey-wootsey; o, after the minlster had pronounced the magle words which made the twain one, Mary said to her beloved: “Jokn, dear, 1 am just dying to eco our new home. Come, let us go there at once.” Drawing her tonderly to his manly breast, Jobn communicated to her the paraljzing intelligence that thelr “home” for the present would be the third story of Mas, Bangle’s boarding house. “No, John*’ replied Mary. *You may go to Mrs. Bangle's and enjoy your- self if you like it, but no boardinghouse for me.” “Just come for a little while, darling,” appealed the newly-made groom, *‘and we will go to housekeeping as soon as we can find a suitablo location,” “No, Tohn; you have deceived me once and I wiil not trust you again. Be- sides, my soul rebels sgalnat mysterious hash and ples and things.” *‘Welll, Mary, it'a no uze to stand here arguing on the subject. We can’t go to housekeeping to-day. ~ What are you go- ing to do about 117" ““I ghall return to my miserable board- ing-house from which I had fondly hoped my marriage would release me, and when you have provided a home, as you prom- ised, come and see me.
