Notes from Colorado.
Clear Crook County, in tho early spring
of '30, began to attract tho attention of
gold.mlners. Gold in paying quantities
had boon washed from tho sands along
the crook and some fosy places men svere
actively engaged in gulch mining. The
early settlers wore a loss straggling pros
pectors in search of gold. They worked

My attention has been called to a discus
sion as to tho comparative propriety of
thoso two phrases, in svhich the question
svas finally submitted to Chancellor A. H.
Uonton, who in a published letter npon the
subject decides that both are proper ;"diUer
from" when mere divergence is intended to
be expressed, "dilfer with," when more ne
gation or disagreement. The question is
something like that in regard to "dilfercnt
from" ami "dilfernt to," and turns of courso,
as Chancellor Penton remarks, upon the
meaning of tho particle dig, from which
the s lias fallen away, and svhich as it do
notes separation requires from after It.
