Lincoln Juuni.il.
Everybody troiujj to Colorado
must go to Denver. The city of
Denver is not Colorado, entirely ;
but Colorado would be very incom
plete without Denver.
Gold-seekers go to Denver and
make that tnerr starling or outfitting
poiut for the iniurs.
I.EADVILI.E,
or the old "California Gulch," is just
I now the objective point for every
! fortune hunter. Years ago, when
( the great gold excitement of Colo
, rado tilled the whole country,
I "California Gulch" was one df the
I best paying diggings in the Moun
I tains. Leadvillc was unknown by
1 that name, but Leadvillc was more
i numerous then than now.
' To-d&y "California Gulch' i6 un-
heard of; the pay dirt Ironi the
1 creek is all worked; for years the
great mining camp has been deecrtcd
but presto change, the rock is found
. rich in silver, and tens of thousands
of people must needs start for the
Leadvillc, the old ground named.
A FltAUD,
a 6narc, and a delusion that is
Leadvillc. Xot but what there arc
some rich quartz ruiucs there, but it
takes a small fortune to open and
work a ven a small quartz lode.
Thero is a fortune for a lucky few
who have possession of all the claims
that arc worth anything; but the
great mass of people who go there,
and who have gone there, will never
eco the inside of a silver mine, un
less they go to work for day's
wages, and arc thereby enabled to
earn their living.
BOAUD AT LEADYII.LE.
It costs about two dollars and
a half a day for very common
board, and plenty of men are willing
to work for their board, if they can
only get a job. This docs not in
clude cofl'ec for each meal, as that
costs fifteen cents extra. Neither
does it include hot cakes, for they
cost twenty-five cents extra. A
beef steak is out of tho question, as
that is seventy-five cents extra.
NOTHING TO DO.
, Thousands of men-have gone to
Colorado this spring that can not
possibly find employment enough
to keep them from starving. They
! will have to get money from home
before they can go forward or return.
"Vc caution everybody who reads
the Journal, don't go to Colorado
expecting to gel rich in the mines.
' HOW TO GO.
I If you want to hunt gold or silver
be sure that you start right. Cal
culate tho cost and go prepared to
make or burst.
, You must go prepared to hunt the
mountains over all summer. You
must not go where the crowd goes,
for there everything is taken. You
must take money enough with you
to furnish all things needful for a
summer's prospecting.
I A BIG THING.
If you find a good paying lode,
you have bought the winning ticket
in the biggest lottery in the world.
If you don't get a good mine of
(Cither gold or silver you're burs ted,
for you have nothing. No half-way
business, no "making expenses" and
searching for gold mines.
If 3'ou want to go and invest a
fortune in buying a miue,and anoth
er one in getting it to running, then
'go by all means, to Colorado, for
ijthcrc they will sell you mines worth
to millions.
have met hundreds of men
going to Leadvillc. "We have met
tribute their mites towards the
( ource of prosperity ?
GO FOR PLEASURE.
If you want to go to Colorado, go
for pleasure. Then you will get
your money's worth. Then you will
come back happy and satisfied.
How to go, when to go, and what to
see will be outlined in the next
from Gad.
lVnftKYlIIc LUcrnry.
If the following address delivered
by John Eusden on the occasion of
the last season meeting of the "Watts-
villc Literary Society shall be in the
least instiumental in furthering the
organization of similar societies, the
object of its publication will have
been accomplished. En. Journal.
Jlr. President, Ladles and Gen
tlemen: Our 'Literaries" arc about
to close with this eveniug's enter
tainment; that they have been a
success must be very gratifying to
the promoters of them. In taking
a review of those meetings permit
me to remark, that tbey have been
second to none, and in the opinion
of many, superior even to the Co
lumbus society.
Occasionally we have regretted
that the young men of our commu
nity have not availed themselves of
the opportunity a Horded them of
improvement, which was the pri
mary object of this series of meet
ings. Again, we have regretted that
we could not furnish sittings for the
audience, although we boast of hav
ing the largest precinct school in
Platte county. Our pleasures have
been great, and surely uone greater
could be named Hum the sight ol
the many very happy looking faces
so closely packed, the eager eye and
anxious car wailing ou the debate
or listening to the amusing decla
mation, the laughable dialogue, or
genial song.
Praise is due to all, for the will
ingness put forth throughout the
meetings, and especially would we
name those from a distence, who
have upon so many occasions as
sisted us iu our exercises, not for
getting that social buirgy with its
fiuence you to purchase of men
whose trustworthiness you have the
least reason to doubt. A penny thus
saved at the time of purchase will
oftimes be fouud to be many doMars
years hence.
I have at least 40,000 fruit trees
and fail to find one damaged by our
cold winters, and no protection
either. ."While much of it promises
a bountiful reward this year, peach
es, grapes, blackberries, raspberries
and strawberries arc all right. I
close with a word of advice, Set
fruit this vcar, and cultivate it well.

ILLUSTRATED QUARTO
THE
HOWE!
The Boston Herald says : "Those
who believe in fiat money should go
and see a piece of calico which be
longs to a lady iu Mt. Vernon, Ale.
Her grandmother sold a piece of
property in London, N. II., for $000
iu United States notes. After keep
ing the tfOOO some time, she bought
six yards of print for a dress, and
paid in said currency $100 per yard,
it taking all of her $C00 to buy said
dress. When she sold the house,
currency was somewhat depreciated
but not much. When she bought
the six yards $1 in silver or gold
would have bought one yard, but in
currency $100 per yard was paid.
The old lady has been dead thirty
years, but the calico outlasts her.

GOING.
They went out with bright, hope
ful faces, with money iu their pock-
jcts, with blankets, provisions,
arpct-sacks, and revolvers. They
came back discouraged, moneyless,

blankets gone, revolvers gone, and
in many cases overcoats sold for

COMING RACK.
They came back afoot, whereas
jthcy rode out of Denver in 6lyle.
jThe railroad train was too slow in
bringing them out, but will be
slower taking them back home, un
less they raise tho necessary fare.
One man out of every ten thousand
may make a fortune in the mines
this season ; the other niuc thousand

I iuc xcnvcr papers are uoiugall
thcy can to stop the wild, insane
rush for Leadvillc, but the great
American nation has heard of the
five or six men who "struck it big,"
snd it seems as if the whole Ameri
can people must visit Colorado and
see if they cannot aleo pick up a
fortune for nothing.
i
THE RAILROADS
are doing a rushing business. Ev-
lcry 'train that rolls into Denver is
crowded with people from the East

i ... " :, .. " .
seasonwie iramps ana dead heats who
will Hue the railroad track will all
! "be homeward bound. The hotels
arc crowded from cellar to attic.
welling houses in Denver are as
scarce as they are iu Lincoln. Fur-
mished rooms command a premium.
Outfitting houses arc doing an im
mense business. Foundries and ma
chine shops cannot turn out the
iwork fast enough for the mines.
Leadvillc has certainly been a
mine of wealth to Denver and to the
whole State of Colorado, but how is
t with the poor devils who cou-
gcuial freight ''from over the hills
from Postville," through cold and
snow, bleak winds and darkness,
their only guide the long ears of
the mules in advance, their only
comfort the warmth of their capa
cious hearts, all aglow with friend
ship's happy fire. We all waut to
be happy. Iu youth wc look for
ward to the future. The davs. the
months slip away, and wc find our
selves living common, prosy lives.
The most critical as well as bitterest
moments of existence are when the
burdens of life fall consciously on
the careless, happy heart of youth,
merrily dancing down the long path
of life. Suddenly, we know how
few pcopbifeel happy; how every
middle-aged face bears deep wrin
kles, and that the light and sparkle
has fade-out of the ecs. If, dur
ing this series of meetings wc have
but removed one wrinkle of care,
brought happiucss again but to one
heart, brought again the sparkle to
eyes dimmed with the burdens of
life, the end has been answered, and
and all assisting in our "Literaries"
arc happy.
The exercises of this evening will
now commence, and wo trust the
remembrance of those meetings will
live in your memories, and bring
forth a fruitful harvest, rich in our
love to each other, cementing us all
in one compact body until, (God
willing) next fall we may emerge
from our chrysalis state with fresh
life and increased vigor, to again
maintain our position as foremost
ami best of all literary societies in
Platte countv.

Something About .Fruit.
En. Journal: Tell your readers
thai this is the time to unkc up
their minds more fully to determine
what they want iu hardy fruit?, and
then hitch up their wagons, go to
the nearest nursery and get what
they waut.
2evcr stand and listen for a mo
ment to those oily tongues and
unreliable agents that overrun new
countries and sell seedless peaches
and leather pears as big as a young
pumpkin kept iu jars of water for
I affirm such has been the case.
Neither will it do to buy eastern
grown fruit trees, for in the first
place the varieties which do well
there will not do well here. Our
soil is strongly itngrcguatcd with
alkali aud other mineral substances
that are not found iu the clay banks
of Ohio, for instance. Last and not
least, the climate is very different.
The Baldwin iu N. Y. is a splendid
apple; in Michigan it is almost an
entirely different apple, while it will
not do here at all.
Agents, as a rule, will sell just
what is wauted near their nurseries.
This does not include all, for our
friends over in Iowa have done the
right thing in this county, and have
douc great good.
I predict, however, that next year
we will hear the usual wail go up
that this is not a fruit country.when
the truth is that wc have about
twenty -five different varieties of
apples and crabs that will staud any
degree of cold that might overcome
to the country, and the same may
be said of our adapted peaches, and
so on throughout the catalogue of
northern and western fruits.

don't know has been the rale, but
