conimunication from' a former citizen of
your city, (now in Col rado ) detailing
partially niafer? ail thing of this far
off section, inicht i'T;rst thp rpader of
...... iT- -
your paper. I have cVidud;d to pen you
n fpw disconnected linen:
Well, in the first place, th? most of odr
winter in D. nver ha been Spring ike
and pleasant, with an occanonal snow
storm interspersed. It s snowing to
day ; yesterday, and ftr some days past,
the sun t-hone out warrr, and everything
had the nppearance and feeling of Sum
mer, provided you did no; cast your eyes
on ihe -.sdow clad PeakV'of the "Snowy
Range'' which loom up fir aboe all
other mountains or things percepubln to
the caked eye from this poii.t, and pre"
sent a covering of snow most, if notquite
all the year round. Business of all . kinds
has been very dull in Colorado this win
ter ; but we ate all looking for better
times soon, as ihe-Lyoti process of sav
ing, at a fmall expense, the Mlver and
gold contained in our ore, i no longer
an experiment, but tn established fact,
and is even now producing the most sat
isfactory result. The silver continued in
most, if not all of our jires, which has
heretofore been cist bj working them
-inD nulls, is now saved by the
Lyon process of sinehitg and cupelling,
Hnd predominates largely inweight. as
it is now proved by iliis new method of
working ore, that the )xrs contain about
eighty ptunds of silver1 to twenty pouuds
ot gwld. Neveriheless the jgily-r is only
wuith from SI 25 to 31 40 per ounce;
while ofd is wurtii fro.it' S16. u S20 00
per ounce, making SO lib tilver iu value
amount to about S1300.00. whiU ihe 20
lbs of gold in value is tiear S4 000 00
It ! further etiallithed.'and settled that
by ihis'plau or work'injV the iilver "con-"
iaii-d in tur ores will pay all expenses
ot mining aud extracting both the silver
and jjold from iht-m, thereby leaving ih
gold takeu out as neit profit to the miner
and Miielter. that Mr. Lyon can afford
iu pay for ores at the Icuh from which
are inking more than miners have here
tofore got out of ihf in with all the ad
dition;.! t xpen-e ol haulmg and crushing.
reioninj' eic
Our Territorial.Li-gislature has passed
mum g ciaim law, giving to the discov
erer or di.-coverers ot a lode, or vein ol
old or silver. bearing quarts, seven hun
dred leet tacit way from his discovery,
hole or shaft on the vein or lode, discov
ered by him or ihnu (making said dis
covery claim 1400 feet, and giving said
dis overer 25 lett on earn, side of said
lode or vein parallel to same, with the
right of owumg aud working all dip?.
spur.-, veins or cross lodes running from
or crossing said 1400 feet, which will
now give ihe discoverer or miner more
fetl on ame lode.so he can better a fiord
to develop and'work satne. As by the
old system or law, 200 feet was all the
discoverer could take, viz: J00 feet by
fight of discovery aud 100 feet by pre
empuoii ; other than a discoverer could
only take 100 leet by preemption ; hence
men only owned a small interest, or from
100 io00 teet on a lode which was not
as profitable to work, as if they owned
more feet together on the same lode or
vein.
Groceries and goods of all kiuds are
ruling very low here, end the country is
lull of them. I know of nothing thai
would pay good" freight to this country
at this tune of midwinter.
I hop the citizens of Nemaha and
Counties West have seen the adantae
.of openiug up a road well graded, cause
wayed and bridged for freight Trains to
travel Wrest from Brownville, intersect
ing at Big-Sandy with ibe road from
Atchison to Denver, Slt Lake City and
points North and West.
Your people will never know t e ad
vantages of said road UDtiLii is made
and Brownville is made the shipping em
urium of the West. It will' not only
benefit one portion of your county and
the rouniie, west, but will bepefit the
entire population of all the coupties that
ii passes through. And every property
holder of said counties, can well afford
to pay 2 1-2 per cent per onnum of his
entire worth, for the first year to build
said rtad ; ar.d one per cent per annum
of bis worth every year thereafter to
keep eaid road in repair. And by all
means, and for your future interest, do
no: give notice to the public of having
completed your road west to Big Saady,
until it is ihorou.h'y and fully completed
and in per fpet running ord-r from Brown
ville to Big Sandy; then make it known
to the world at large, or to the country
North, South, East and West, what you
have done, and the advantage to the ship
pers and freigters of your road west,
and when thej have tried it. they will
have found it as represented, and will
nof only patronise it in future thems-Ires
boi make known lo others ihe advantig
es of Brownville as a shipping point and
her road west for freight ig. And fur
thermore, your merchants should keep
larjje ar.d well selected and assorted
stocks ot goods of all kinds on bands to
supply the freighters and shippers.
You want pood Wagon Manufactories for
making and repairing wagons ; exten
sive Blacksmith Shops connected there
with. Ncr should your merchants, me
chanics or farmer-, lose sight of the inju
ry f-xhorbitant prices, pcor goods, or bad
ly done work by the manufacturer or re
pairer will injure you. Avoid extortion
ing and deception to freighiors and ship
pers. Do by them as you would like to
b done by if iu their stead, and your now
little and prosperous iown, will, ere long,
take away from other points that prece
dence they now have. Do not adopt the
system of other points of charging for
everything and kind, all you think the
purchaser or employer will stand ; and
all will work right with your town and
road.
Your npnnle or my old friends and ac-
quaintances may not thank nic for my
suggestions. If not, they will pardon
me, as I am prompted by kind feelings
or Brownville, her people and surround-
ing country, i stop scribbling aud go to
a masonic party.

Subject: The best mode of Making
Butter and Cheese, and the proper Food
or Milch Covts
F. E. Allen says, treat milch Cows
with kindness; milk at regular times;
the same person should milk or attend to
the same ctws. Milk clean strain the
milk Tn shallow vessels. In warm wea
ther I would not leave itdeeper than two
inches. The most cream may be obtain
ed from shollow selling. Let milk stand
until it can be cut with a knife all thro'.
It should not be left until it turns partly
to water, as the cream will have a bitter
tas e. A good co 1 cell ir is an essential
to the making good butter. It is a good
plan in warm weather to churn in the
cellar. The cream should be at a rirrh I
: . w
temperature before commencing to churn
Sixiy-two d agrees u rignt. The butler
should be well worked, so as to get out
all the bu.termilk, saythiee times, an I
then let it stand five or six hours, and
then work it again. Mix one ounce of
salt to every pound of butter. Now put
or pack the butter solid in your tub or
crock, and when full, cover it with white
cloih, and cover the cloth with salt thick,
and fasten your lid on. This butter is
safe and sweet lor a year if kept in a
cool place.
I would feed my milch cows in the fall
and winter, corn-fodder, and corn, pump
kins, carrots, or turnips, as I had them.
Emery Peck said. In the Eist a new
kind. of tub for making cheese is used,
which has different appartments for the
milk, for bot water, and also for cool, al
so a thermometer attached to regulate
the temperature of the milk.
Mr. Peck thought we should have tame
grass for pasture for cows. We should
also have a change of pasture. Slop3
made from 'corn meal is good to make
cows'give milk.
B. F. Mclninch thought it would pay
well to cheese and butter in tbu county.
II. Stone tried making cheese "and but
ter on a small scale in Illinois, and it did
not pay him. Better let the calves have
all the milk and raise good stock.
Geo. Bryant said he knew a man in
Illino's who madi cheese and butter from
a poor lot of cotvs. and he said he made
S30.00 per head from th? cows, besides
raising the calves on skimmed milk, and
had good calves. To make cow3 good
milkers their first and second calves
should not he allowed to suck. Th? sack
should be let expand. And they should
be milked clean regularly. I think fony
dollars can be cleared from eaci good
cow. I know it will pay, and pay well
to make cheese.
Subject for next meeting : 'Gardens
Veffeiables and. Root crop."
The Club then adjourned to meet
again in ore week.

I remember one evening last summer,
jtit afir J came home from not the
war exactly but a .-ye.tr' cr.ii-e in
the Pacific as surgeon of the U.S Steam
er Wateree thai all of us bachelors
were enjoying the . cool cf the evening
and the fragrance-of cur pipes on the
flat rooff of the ell attached to the old
boarding house.
Lying about in various attitudes, one
and another had told stories, made re
marks, and subsided.
Lewis raised himself on his elbow,
knocked the ashes from his pipe, and if
I hat ever heard of old Bdrbank of Vir
ginia. If I had, I had forgotten it.
"Burbank." said Lewis, "was one of
these old fellows that you find in every
country village, whose sole business in
life consist in looking after other peo
ple's affairs, and wha seemed blessed
with any amount qf time to do it in.
"Burkank buttoned-holed me one day
in VVashmgton street while I was wait
ing for a stage. How he ever got this
far from home I lon't know, but there he
was, in his 'Sunday-go-to-meeting' suit,
and insisted on telling me all about b i 3
row gith Mr. Famsworth.
"I started out the other morning,' he
said, 'an' when I got outside the house I
see it was goln' to be a pleasant day.an'
I thought Fd walk down to Parmehe's
shop an' see ifihem tubs o Mr. 'Farns-
worth's was done, I hadn't got nothing
i
to 'do, and I kinder thought Mr. Farns
worth mishi like to know if them tubs
o' his'n was dne. So I started an got
down to Parmelee's, an I see the door
was locked, . So I went rouu behind the
shop, an looked ia the back winder, an
there I see them tubs of Mr. Farns
wonh's an I see that they were done.
Then I looked in again, an I saw that
the shop was afire. Wall, I thought
Mr. Fa res worth might kinder like lo
know that them tubs were done, an that
the shop was afir. so I thought Fd walk
down to Mr. Farnsworth's houseman tell
him that they was done, an the shop was
afire.' -
By this time.?' said Lewis "my stage
had gone by, and I found I was in for
the whole story of Burhank's troubles.
I told him to go on, inwardly wishing
him and Mr. Farnsworth at the devil,
and thinking of rny changes of reaching
home before dinner grew cold.
"Well; said Burbank. I'd walked along
a piece, an I see Mr. Deining an com
ing down street. ''Got:d-iuurning,"says
l "Pleasant day." "Yes," says he,
fgood growin weather. W Mil's the
news V "Well," says I, 'I started out
arter breakfast this morning an I see it

kinner thought Fd go down lo Parmelee's
an see if them iub of Mr. Farnsworth's

when I got to Parmelee's I see the door
was locked. So I thought I'd go roun'

an I see they was done. An then I
looked in agin", an I see the shop was
