I drop you u few linoi from this Magio
City of the mountains , This scorns
n nation of wonderland. This is one
of the highest cities in the world , and
the most wealth producing for its
size over known. Wo came into the
city in the night , and were taken lethe
the Clarendon hotel said to bo first
class , but proved lo 'bo so only in
prico. In that respect it was very
aristocratic $1 per day , with faro no
better than most of your moderate
Omnha hotels. There is a great rush
to it however , and I understand that
their not gains ha vo boon $5,000 per
month , and I should think the excess
over value received would bo just
about thnt. "But the first impression
of exorbitant rates passes away when
you enter a neat modest restaurant , 1
got a good meal for 25cts. After
breakfast I climbed slowly and pain
fully Carbonate lull.
Some people are wonderfully stimu
lated by this mountain air ; to others
it is a pain to ( .top hero. It is so
with myself , I pant for breath , my
head awima 'and ' 1 have the eonaation
that , my ears may burst out , but by
easy etai'cs I climb about 500 feet
nbovo the city , among the shafts and
the puffing engines I survey thu scone
.below. Tlio hill sides are covered
with beautiful flowers of various hues
which are now in their glory , a few
clumps of evergreens have been
spared. Lead villo rests in the lap , of
the mountains. It is in a valley bound
in on every side by high peaks which
oven now in dog-days have not lost all
their snows. In front of mo is Mount
Massive and looking Bquaroly in his
face from the other side of the valley
is Mount Sheridan , surrounded by his
army of lessor peaks. Mount Massive
is a range of sharp peaks rather than
a single eminence. Hero Hook down
upon this strange city with such a
womlerous history.
Yonder is the grave , yard , whore 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 buildings were erected , and
many of them lay down to die like
ehcop. lioro 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 aliame , who ran their briif
round and wont to their long rest
among those fir trees yonder. A
fearful craze was on many a poor soul.
But this frontier utuge , has In a meas
ure , passed away , and Leadville seems
as orderly as other cities of her oho
and in the mighty struggle wliicl
always ensues between light and dark
ness , the nobler traits of humanity
predominate. Here you aoe probably
the finest school house in the state ,
churches are springing up and manned
by faithful and energetic mon.
Wo fell in with ono Kov ,
Paddock , of the Congregational
church. Ho boards himself , takes
care of his own 'church , which is n
comfortable edifice and publishes i
monthly paper. Ho ia opening :
reading room on his own responsibility
ity , and seems to be on good , terms
with the boys , and on a tramp ho is no
"tenderfoot. " Ho made tnreo trips
to Aspen a town seventy miles awav
going on foot , making his way through
the mountain snows , and ho has gone
as many as fifty miles a day on foot.
The Methodist atuto conference ia in
session , and wo drop in. There is a
fine body of _ mon gathered , mon of
rosolu.ion , intelligence , and energy
who are making themselves felt. Con
ference is precided ever by Bishop
"Wiley of Ohio , wherein wo have a
treat in listening to Father Taylor of
California , who in n speech filled with
with wisdom and eccentricity seems to
warm up the cold mountain air.
Speaking of the air reminds us that
it ia cold up here , while in your oflico
you are BO oppressed with heat you
have serious thoughts of calling in a
dog to loll for you. lam shivering.
Lead villo ia over 10,000 feet above the

Creameries in Poimsj-lvtvnln.
Hanover , 1'c. , Correspondence of tlic llaltlmorc
Sunt
Thu creamery question is just now
tlio prominent onu among thn farmers
ofork county , as well as those of
other suctions of southern I'ennsylvn-
nia. Some creameries are operated
by joint stock companies and others
by private firms. In the first instance
the farmers aru the stockholders in
proportion to how many cows they
own , and , of course , tlio shareholder
has to take his risk as to profit nnd
los * . Thu creameries owned by pri
vate firms buy the milk outright from
thb farmers and the firms take all tlio
risks. Tlio Uunovor creamery is one
of the latter claw , and is owned by a
firm of four or five persons , There
'u another creamery near Hanover
Junction. Ono was started none the
city of York , the present month , an
other is in operation at Etnigsvillo ,
York county , and onu or two others
are under way or about to start. Get
tysburg ia talking loud for a creamery
and will probably 6on have ono. The
creamery business in York county is
in its infancy and does not yet com
pare with Bucks county , where thcro
are 3B establishments , all co-operativo
except four.
This suction of country in HH agri
cultural features is not unlike Carroll ,
Washington , Frederick andsomo other
counties of Maryland , where , without
doubt , creameries could be operated as
auccessfully as those of Pennsylvania.
That the business is satisfactory in
this state scums to bu proved beyond
cavil by thu rapid increase of cream
eries in Bucks county train 10 a year
ago to US now.
As n matter which should bo inter
esting to Western Maryland farmurs
especially a description of the mode
of operating a creamery may bo giv <
on. The co-operative and private concerns
corns are identical , BO far as the work
of manufacturing the products is con
cerned. The Hanover creamery ,
therefore , will bo an example of any
or all the others. The building is anew
now and substantial two-and-a-half
story wooden structure in thu suburbs ,
wliero springs furnish pure water
not tor mixing with , but tor cooling
the milk , cleaning thb vats , etc. It
has a daily working capacity for 10-
000 pounds of milk , counted at 8i
pounds to the gallon , and cost , with it
six-horse power engine and the ma
chinery , § 5,000.
The price paid for milk at this time
is ten cents a gallon , delivered at the
creamery by ! > a. in , and the milk
from about GOO COWH is taken daily.
Tile delivery includes the milking of
the evening before and that of the
morning following , and many wagons
are required for the hauling. Creamery
ory wagons are sent after some of the
milk , nnd it is bought in small as well
as largo quantities. Tlio milk in
cans is hoisted into tlio second story
by an elevator , then poured into a
metal receptacle , wluiro it is weighed
after being tested by the lao omoter ,
if the surreptitious introduction of
water is suspected. Next it is carried
by pipes into .throe wooden vats tin-
lined , each vat holding about I50 ! gal.
Ions. Ice water is continually pump
ed through tin cylinders in these vats
for four hours to force the cream to
tlio top. It is then found that there
are auout throe inches of good cream
on the top of the milk in each vat.
Now the milk is drawn oft" with HOIIIO
of the croani , and poured through
pipes into hugo tin-lined chcesu-vuts
on the lower lloor , The cream is put
into a cream-vat , in thu butter-room
until next morning , when it is placed
in u largo horizontal barrel-shaped
churn. A belt is attached to the end
of the revolving dasher , and the cream
is whirled around by steam for half
an hour , uhun the butter is made. It
is taken out , salted , and put in a re
frigerator until next morning , Then
it is rowoikod , printed on a hand ma
chine , boxed in ice-chests , and is sent
to Baltimore or other imrkots , which
it reaches in a fresh and sweet condi
tion.
tion.Tho
The milk in the cheese-vats in
heated by ntcam pipes , and coloring >
matter and rennet are put in thu hit
ter to produce coagulation , After the
mass has been walked for five home
or so thu checsu curd is dipped out
and put upon racks. When salted
, the curd U put in iron moulds , anil
, the twelve or fifteen moulds turned
put daily aru pressed for sixteen noun
in a powerful screw , The cheeses
weighing thirty-two to forty-twt
pounds each , are now considered made
, and are put in the loft for thirty dayi
to dry or cure , when they are boxoc
and sent to market. A lot of MKX
pounds of chuuso was shipped 01
Thursday.
, The Hanover creamery at proson
makes from 30 to 100 gallons of ice
crcum dully , all by steam , which pro
duct requires cream that would other
. wise go into butter. If all wont ito
butter , that yield would bo ubout :50 :
pounds a day , which is at pruson
sought after by dealers ju the cities a
28 cents a pound. Thu chueso yiul
, of 500 pounds daily brings , as stated
8 to 18 cents u pound.
The creamer } ' sells 70 to 100 gallon
, of buttermilk pur day to tonnspcopl ,
and others at D cents ' a gallon. ' T
. supply farmers with pig feed , of whic
they would otherwise bo deprived b
thu sale of thu milk of their cowh , tli
1
.AHA MO
crcaniory supplied them with whey to
3 cents for 10 gallons. Some half-
dozen hands arc employed inside , in-
chiding a New .York cheese-maker ,
that state being looked to for experts
in that lino. The creamery will soon
make its own cheese boxes on the
promises. The ice item is considera
ble , but enough lea can bo housed
almost any winter hero.
The Hanover creamery firm are
satisfied with their business nnd ex
pect to make money. They have
been at work two months. Fnrme. a
prefer to soil to the creamery because
the market and the pay arc surer ,
they say , , than when they shipped it
away ami paid railroad tscights , As
all parties to the creamery enterprise
seem satisfied with the ventures , it
would bo well for the enterprising
farmers in some Western Maryland
sections to try thu co-oporativo
creamery plan. One thing soims
settled ; creamery butter , inado in
quantities by steam * is partially dis
placing tlio arliclo mad6 by the old
way. Creamery butter now commands
a fancy price among dealers , and it is
hard to moot the demand. A creamery
of 15,000 pounds daily capacity costs
to put into operation about § 0,000.
Some creameries are only fiOOO pounds
capacity , HI in the coil of building and
operating is small.
A Man Who HltaTwomnn.
Now York bun ,
Two nights ago , on the 7 o'clock
boat from Staten Island , a well-dress
ed Irish woman of robust frame calmly
removed n camp stool from beneath
the extended legs of a. rubicund Ger
man and put her own feet thoreon.
The German's feet came down to the
deck with a heartrending crash as he
walked from an incipient nap , and ho
gazed around for the stool. When ho
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. In an instant she was
around his nock with one arm and
boxing his head around with the free
hand in a most interesting way. The
German shook her oil' , but she made
another grab and caught him by thu
face. Her hand grasped several fea
tures , and unfortunately for her , a
finger catno too close to his mouth ,
anil he bit vigorously. She loosed
her hold and tried to got at him again ,
but the bystanders interfered.
"Ho hit mo. Ho hit a woman , " '
she panted.
"Now , madam , " said one of the
two deck-hands who hold her , "yon
take u fool's advice and let him
alone. "
"Lcm'mo git at 'im. Lom'mo
gitSho
She struggled so violently that the
men at last dragged her forward and
left her antagonist out of sight. As
she was drawn away she made ono
more violent effort to got at the Tuo-
ton , and then disappeared. Ho mop
ped his face vigorously for a moment ,
nnd then said , as ho disposed of his
legs on the contested campstool :
"Shontlomen , dot is kor kind of
grcochera vo make our vifea ! "
