" r 12 THE OMAHA DAILY PEE t SUNDAY , f JUNE 10 , 1888.-SIXTEBN AMONG TIIE CRAGS ADD PEAKS A Land of Gold , Silver and Eternal Snow. A LETTER FROM SILVERTON , All Kinds of Climate * nt Once The Trnck of the Glnclers Streams Clear as Crystal nnd Cold na lee Water. SAN .TUAN COUNTY , Cot. , Juno 0. [ Correspondence of Tin- Bun. ] Sllvorton Is the county seat ol San .Tunn county. It is located in the heart of the great mining region ol northwestern Colorado , on the Pacilk slope of the Rocky mountains. All the waters of this slope flow into the gulf ol California. Its principal water course is the Aiiimas rlvor , and hundreds ol trlhutarics flow into it from the tnouiv tain slopes. It is 0110 of the hest watoreel regions on the continent of Nortl : America , and the perennial snows thai crown the mountain tops keep the streams pure and sparkling all the ycai round. It is a marvelous region o : country , rich in mineral resources and rugged in contour , many of the mountains - tains culminate over 13,000 , foot above sea level , and several wear their oterna caps of snow at altitudes of men than 14,000 feet. This hcd o the Rockies is peculiar for its deep ant narrow canons and gorges , and its sharp and lofty mountain culminations THIS AVAT-ANC1IK. Many of the mountain slopes are si precipitous that all the vegetation , UK Boll and immense bodies of decompose ! rock have become loosened , and in vas avalanches have swept down the mount ains for thousands of foot , carrying it their mighty embrace everything clear to the bed-rock , and filling the gorge where they lodge a hundred feet ir depth. Every winter vast bodies o flntw accumulate on the brink of tin mountains , break away and plunge down their long declivities , increasing In volume and velocity as thoj proceed , stretching out ' thoii wldo arms and 'swooping the face of the mountain as clean ns : billiard ball. In places these ava lunches have boon known to dam large streams , nnd their waters have cul channels beneath them , thus leaving i compact bridge of snow one hundrei feet in thickness , the entire summer while a great river roared and tumblce far bnlow. Not a winter passes tha docs not witness one or more ill-fatoe fellows swallowed up in those snow- slides. Their breadth and velocity an so great that it is sometimes impossible to escape them. The roar of some o the larger ones on their travels re semblcb distant thunder. SILVKUTON. Silvorton is located in a beautiful park , embracing an area of 2.600 acres Its altiudo is 10,100 foot and a dozot mountains look down upon it fron heights of 13,000 , to 14,000 feet above the aoa. It contains a population of minor : and merchants estimated at 2,500. The town is reached by the Denver & Rie Grande railroad , a distance of 405 miles fia Colorado Springs , Pueblo , Cucha ras , Walsonburgh , Vota Pass , For I Garland , Conojos , Toltec Gorge , Durango range and many other towns and re niarkable landmarks. In a direct coursi Denver is only about 290 miles north cast of Sllvorton. But this line of the Denver & Rio- Grande railroad com passes a vast territory to got in here and it passes over some of the most ro xnurkablo country over spannei by a railroad , Mountains are seated nt altitudes of from 0,000 i 11,000 foot , rivers and chasms ari bridged at dizzy heights , the roadbei in maces is cut into the vertical olitT nnd hi.ingd above unfathomable gorges like a thread of gassamor. It windi bactc nnd forth on the sides of th mountains , making its sharp curves am grades of 211 feet to the milo , and fin ally hero it ends for a brief period only It is a marvelous feat of engineering and is probably not surpassed anywhor in the realm 01 railway building. It i now being pushed on north of Silver ton , in the direction of Red Mountain and in a few months the circle will b completed , and this end will eonncc with the Salt Lake line at Montrosc which IB already completed from thii point iu this direction to Ouray , a rtis tauco of thirty-five miles. A larg force of men and teams on this side ar pushing on the work , am eight or ton miles are alread ; completed and in operation beyond herd Soon the rich mining district of rei Mountain will bo greeted by this littl road , giving it two outlets , one via Sil vorton and the other via Ouray ani Montroso. In the near future the rou < will bo extended from Silvorton up tin Animus river to Eureka , a distance o ten or twelve miles , and eventually u ] to Animus Forks , and perhaps over th mountain and clown the Gunukion ti Lake'City , in Ilinsdalo county. Tlior is no limit to the building of these niu row-gauge railroads , and these ruggo and forbidding mountains appear t prcbont no obstacles insurmountable t the genius and enterprise of their pro lectors. Whore they are not disposoi to go over their tops they tun no through them , and to got on the otho tide they frequently go around Jhotn. THIS CLIMATIC. . This is.a delightful summer climate cool and invigorating. The atmosphen Is as pure as nuturo can manufacture it and the waters are the very elixir o life. They come from the vast accuimi liitions of snows on the mountains , an they sing and dunce and sparkle in ul the valleys and parks uud on all th mountain slopes. It is but a few steji hero from August to January. Tw thousand foot takes ono up to wher the snow glistens all summer , and ii winter it increases the dimensions c the mountains. In the heat of tin season niyn can wrap themselves { their blankets and Bleep like Hip Ya Winkle. It is a glorious country i which to oat and sleep. 'Th 'altitude develops the appetite and the fatigue incident to mom tain climbing , , mining and otlic hard work , combined with the tonic a inosphero , invites to profound and recuperative cuporativo blumbor , the secret of goo health and long life. These miners at the hardest worked men in the worli and did they not eat ami sleep HI : yrizzly boars , they would not spin ot their days tosuch n vigorous old ago r they do. TUB MINKS. All these mimi3 curry gold , silver rui load in combination , and many othc liruportlos of value. The gold an silver-load ores are easily treated be where zinc , antimony arsenic , sulphu tolurium and other refractory comblni ttons abound the work of reduction tar more difficult nnd expensive. It not the high-grade mine that is at n times the most valuable. A hire body of low-grade . silver-leu or gojd : are developed into a very valu : bio miuo , and often -becomes a fountal I wealth to Jta proprietors- . What .termed the f'Great San1 Juan-1.1 IB ahun ! a vast system of lofty mountains , deep canons and gorges , small parks nnd val leys , and cvory whore abounding In min eral wealth. By reason of its remote ness , its rugged and forbidding charac ter , and its heretofore inaccessible na ture , its development has boon slow , and its vast resources have slumbered unhonorcd and unknown. But the day of its obscurity has past. Railroads have come in , and resolute hearts and strong arms are taking hold with grand re- suite. Paying mines have bceon opened , mills for treating the ores have boon erected , feeble properties have gone into the hands of capitalists , and the tide is turning in the right direction. Up to a recent period but little nero than prospecting nad been done in all this region , and oven yet the showing is superficial , for the mountains are scratched all over with little gopher holes , and diminutive dump-piles look sorrowfully out froui their sides in hun dreds of places. But wherever judi cious mining has been done , and devel opment obtained , a profitable mi no has rewarded the minor. Supercial work never made men wealthy or wise. The paying mines of the half dozen districts near hero number twenty or twenty-live. They are styled silver properties , but many of them carry gold and are rich in lead. On upper Cement creek quite a gold district is being opened upnnd a ton stamp quartz mill is in course of construction there. The entire district seems to abound in gold , and some very rich quartz has boon taken out. Be fore the season is over other mills may bo put up and a lively district inaugurated. It is about olght or nine miles from Silvorton. The highest permanent mine in the world is located near hero , on King Solomon mountain , at an attitude of 13,450 feet. It is the North Star mine , a very rich and profit able property. Miners live and work up there all the year round , and in the busy season the mine gives employment to about two hundred men. The ore is packed down the mountain on the bucks of jacks , a distance of four miles ; to the wagon road , where it is loaded onto wagons , and hauled to the railroad at Silvorton , the entire distance being about seven miles. It is a silver mine but carries some gold , lead and gray copper , and the ore averages about $201 ] per ton. Messrs John .T. Crooko & Co. , operate the mine and it is .said the property is bringing them in $1,000 per day net. It ha& been worked by the present proprietors for a period ol ten years , nnd has shown itsoll to bo one of the great fissure veins ol this-country. Many mines would prove equally valuable and profitable under similar management and with corresponding pending development. Among the other paying properties near hero may be mentioned the Silver Lake , Black Diamond , Aspen , Bear , Whale , Buck Eye , and on the Red mountain the Yankee Girl , Silver Boll , Orphan Boy , Vnndorbilt , Alexandria , Galena , Lion , Saratoga , Copper King , Paymaster. Candyco and others. Now mills are being put up in all the various districts for the treatment of ores. Minors and capitalists are taking hold. of these golden opportunities with increased con fidence and energy and at all hours ol the day the click of the drills and the thunder of the blasts are heard on the mountains. C. L. HALL. New lint Cranks. "It's a funny thing , " said a hat store dork to a Telegram reporter , "thai a man with a big head always thinks he looks well in n small hat , while a mar with a little head imagines a large hat the thing. Wo show 'om front nndbncli and side views of themselves in anj quantity of pier glasses , but the mar with the big cranium will leave the store having purchased a head cover ing which looks for all the world like ! i peanut on u watorbutt , and the little irwn will toddle out with his hat hold ui by his cars so to speak. Every man to his taste , say I , bul some of : om have such queer notions it't all I can do to keep from laughing in their faces while trying on hats for 'em Take darkies for iiibtanco. Any mar of sense knows they look best in a neat black derby ; But no it's a pearl white derby with them , or nothin. ' Some ol the more high-toned darkies will slant before the pier glass for minutes at r time admiring themselves in higl white silk hats. Mind you , not felt , bul silk ; and they'd buy 'em , too , if thoj wern't afraid of being laughed off SixtF avenue. "Irishmen's tastes generally run t ( plug hats , no matter how unbecoming : they are. Wo can seldom persuade them to take white hats in any shape Germans often show poortasto in select Ing hats. They invariably prefer tin little fiat derby a hideous looking thing and the more fashionable it is the bettor. The more sensible of them bui soft , low-crowded , cloth hats , whirl suits their book boor complexions to s T. Americans are the most sonsibli and tasteful of all our customers. The know a becoming hat when they bee it and it's not easy to fool 'cm on n hal that don't fit or look well. "The biggest mistake a man can maki when selecting a hat is to bring i friend to . .help him choose. In ninety nine cases out of one hundred friend : don't know half as much about what' becoming as docs the man himself Consequently , when a man gets a ha that really looks well , the smart frione says , "Take it right ol ! . The boys'l guy you out of town. " "So the poor fool buys a hat tha makes him look like a hor.se with the blind staggers , and goes out contentoi until he gets his eyes opened. " Uoeohor'a Drummer.

THE TRIALS OF THE HEAVY MAN , Urlttanln Illsscel How They Put on Tlglits Stage Struck Girls Actresses a Century Ago Dramatic Notes. Heavy Men. Dramatic Times : The lot of the heavy man is not the most enviable thing In the dramatic profession. Met aphorically ho gets all the kicks and cuffs that nro administrated in the play , and ho is the worst paid of all tho. Im portant members of his company. Heavy parts are often the most im portant characters , and they are always the most thankless. In England the latter condition is oven more marked than It is in this country. Over there a heavy man gels nothing but hoots and hisses from his audioncos. There have boon cases whore English heavy inert have played villtans so well that they wore hooted by mobs of people on the streot. It is a mark of esteem when an actor plays a heavy part so well as to deserve hissing. But at the sumo time when the esteem extends to universal nnd violent personal execration * the heavy man's existence is not rendered particularly joyous. Few heavy mon rise to prominence In this country because there is little re muneration and little encouragement in this branch of the business. There are few mon who play vlllians who receive anything like the salaries of comedians or juvenile actors. Yet , if a villain's part is badly played the whole pleco is turned into ridicule. The heavy man's department of the drama is not a pleas ant or a desirable field. Putting on Tlghtfl. "So you want to see mo nut on my tights , do you ? " said ono of the trapeze women to a female reporter of the Now York Sun as she took out of her trunk the scarlet silk and plush combination. "Well , in the first place , wo sit down ami put them on lilco stockings , " and baring her legs she drewon her foot what seemed hko a cardinal silk stock ing , over it pulled a litllo shoe of satin with a soft solo , tied it around the nnklo with silk straps the exact color of the tights , ami then slid -her foot into a wooden clogl "These are real French clogs my husband brought over from Paris ; wo can't got them hero. " After the other foot was similarly at tired she stood up and smoothed and stretched and rubbed on the long elas tic silk tights as a lady would rub on n now glove. "You sob the webbing IE heavy cotton at the top so it won't tear whan I pull it up. " A narrow leather bolt , ono-half an inch wide , was buckled tightly over the tights around her waist , anel then the flno work began. With one leg in the air she pulled nnd drew on the strong wobbine , kicking and bonding and curving the leg at the same time , and when no suspicion of a wrinkle or looseness was loft she went through the same process with the other log. "You see these little buttons. They are tied into the tights. You can't sew buttons on to spun silk , you know , so wo put tli o in underneath and tie thorn around on the right sides with tapes ; the tapes wo tie round and round our waist , and then tie them tight. These buttons are $5 gold pieces. I get awfully stuck for a button sometimes , so I tie in the gold pieces for good luck , and when I got short uji for money I go through a lot of old tights and I'm all right again. " Actresses a Century Ago. Nineteenth Century : Strange contrasts - trasts and anomalous situations were the result of the familiar intercourse ol all classes and contribute not a little tc make the society of the last century sc amusimr to us. Perhaps the roatosl anomaly of all was the position of ac tors and actresses. An antiquated law deprived them of all civil rights ; thoi could not appear as witnesses in a court nor fill any public post. They were sent to prison for the slightest peccad illo on the more whim of the court au thorities , and if they died while follow ing their profession were refused relig ious rites at the burial. Adrienne Lecouvour was taken out at night in a cabby two porters and buried in a hole hastily aug at the corner of the street , Yet Adrienne Lccouveur was HO sought after in her life time that she com plained that she could not comply with all the invitationssho received from the great , and that their attentions prevented - vented her from enjoying a peaceful ant quiet life. The actress Clarion was an intimate friend of the Duchess do Villoroi ani the Duchess do Duras. Not only act resses. but actors infatuated the leader ) of society. The actor Mole roeoivoc from Marshal Richelieu a costume worth 10,000 francs , and Floury from i noble friend a dross which had onlj boon worn once , and for which 18,00 ( francs had been paid. Two ladies one French , one Polish fought a duel fet an actor. TFio French woman wa ; wounded nnd locked up in a convent Quaint incidents of all kinds illustrate the relations between the stage and iti patrons. Actresses wore sometime : present at state concerts , and on one occasion Sophie Arnold was seated noxi to a duchess , who exclaimed disdain fully : "Honest women should weai badges to distinguish them. " "Thoi you would wish , " replied the actress "to give the public a chance of counting them. " I ISritanuIn Illtscel. A certain tight-ropo dancer , says at exchange , has been performing in Nov York , and in the course of her oquili b.ristio feats she appeared in costume ! of divers nations. When she waved the tricolor of Franco there was much ap plause ; on her advent as "Gormnnia,1 thu audience was immensely enthusi astic : when she materialized as n daugh ter of Erin , and Haunted the grooi banner , the plaudits wore deafening iMjtl enthusiastic shrieks rent the air On her advent as "Britannia" she was hissed ; but when the band struck uf the inspiring strains of the "Star Span glcd banner , " and the fairy of the tlgh "Columbia " then rope appeared as , was not a hand to welcome her , as thi patriotism of the audience had been expended ponded in cheers for "Gormnnia" am and "Erin" and revilings for "Britan nia. " Not oven a hiss , which would a least have been a recognition , was lof lor the symbol of our country. This ii one of the ) many straws that indicate the wind's course. Struck Girl * . New York Graphic : The younj woman who ran away from her home in Philadelphia and was found in tlii : city as a "cadoi'Mn a uhorus of 200 girl gave her family a great deal of unnoc osbnry trouble. One of her relatives , almost dis true- toil , beliuved that the girl hail boei kidnaped , uud went all the way ti Omaha to follow out a clew. , IIor fain lly was distressed , beyond fjioasuro. De tuctives were hurried to and fro , tin chiefs of Ihe police in every city of .tin union woroon tire qui vivo- uudthef was bustle ovorywlioro. While nil this soaroh was going oh'the young lady was calmly surveying 'llcV1 reflections in c mirror in the dressing room of a theatre nnd preparing , in1 fleSh-colorod tights. to go before an audlbn'co and exhibit hoi graceful figure. 1 If thib young woman had not reached an ago when syclv treatment would be improper , wo would sucgost that she be well skakon and sent to bed early , but as she has passed the ago of bib and tucker she must bo handled differently. A stage-struck girlf is rarely cured. The mania is not liko.&thor manias. II does not scorn to wear out , unless the seeker after histrionic fanto is kept con tinuously at the bottom of the ladder , despite her ambition to rise , and this doesn't often happen. The friends of Miss Hay , the young woman who caused her relatives sa much anxiety when she could have easily sot their mlndsnt rest , hope that her passion for the stage will In time wear itself out , and they will pro vide her with a chaperon to watch nor. Wo trust this may bo successful , but stage-struck statistics indicate that the chaperon will bo worn out before the girl. A DausouHo in n Itngo. London Daily Telegraph : A terrible case of mutiny has occurred in the Paris opera house , of all places in the world. A youthful coryphee , who was going through a rehearsal under the careful superintendence of the dancing master attached to the establishment , suddenly grow mutinousbocauso the chorographlc professor had found fault with some ol her movements. She accordingly as sumed the appearance of a fury , and seizin ff a pair ot scissors made several diabolical lunges at the too-critical pro fessor. Ho , being naturally an , adopt in the speedy and' skillful man.uovrlng of his limbs , dodged aside from the dan gerous damsel and her instrument with the greatest alacrity. The points of the scissors , however , pierced the profess or's coat , nnd infilotoel some wounds of a slight character on his flesh. The en raged danseuse was promptly carried away from the foyer do la daaso of the opera , and no doubt she has lost ir revocably her chance of appearing cither as a "glittorlncr star" or a "twinkling satellite" of the French ballot. Nilsson's Fnel. Mine. Christine Nilsson has a hobby of collecting tapestries and fans. Her collection of the former is said to be unique. Most of her fans have been given her by eminent people. The finest ono she has was presented tc her by the Thakoro Sahib of Morvi and is made of gold gems and feathers. . Another , which was given her by i Russian prince , as an exact copy of the Queen of Oudo's famous fan.
