NEWS FROM THE FARTHER WEST ON THE TRAIL Olf FREMONT His Eouto Through Wyoming in 1812 Carefully Traced , HOW HE REACHED HIS FAMOUS PEAK . .lonrtiryrrim ( ho 1'lnliiN lnnur I lie HiMnluiilrr.H of ( In- Pint to OoNKlnu Ilir Divide llln Aeon til of Journey. The question ot the early exploration of our western territory Is ono of extreme in- torcst to the residents of the United States In general and to the people of Wyoming In particular , writes W. O. Owen , state aud itor of Wyoming In the Karamlo HcpubllcJif. And the nubjrct 'has ' acquired , qulto recently , nn added stimulus through the efforts of nu- motouii historical societies to trace the actual routes of the various persons and parties whoso r.amca are so Intimately tuiroclatod with western ex pansion. In nearly every Instance have these plon ers touched some portion of 'Wyoming and generally have cromod the entlro state1. One nnta > bla exception is that ot the renowned Low la and Clark expedition , which following the MIssc/url river , passed entirely to the north of Wyoming and reached the i'aclflc coast without touching the stato. Ono member of this great party , however , as destined to penetrate Wyo ming's territory , and It Is to this man , John Colter , that the world Is Indebted for Its first information concerning the Yellow- elotio park. Of all the numerous explorers who-have passed across this ultra Uoky mountain country , there Is but one who attempted to llx with anything approaching accuracy , thp route ptiruuod by him in search of eoo- , graphic and sclentlflrs knowledge. J T''tit ' man lu John O. Fremont ; and from a combination of natural description and as- tronomlral observations lie has enabled us to loeato his -path through this Btato with entlro accuracy. C'oloiH'l Fremont has never received the inaiHtire of prnlao which pre pcrly belongs to him. Notwithstanding all that detractor have said , ho occupies today the highest notch among tln > men whose lived have been devoted to the exploration of the exmutry. IIe > wa verily the great pathfinder and iiao left p. lasting monument In thenuporb end accurate account of his trip mads In 1812. Some time In May , IS 12 , Fremont left St. Louis , going by steamboat up the Missouri to a point near tliei mouth ot the Kansas , river known as "Kansas Lindlm ; . " Thence thii party proceeded up the Kansas river tea miles to the trading post of Mr. Cyprian Choleail , where they were detained some twenty dajn , nnd this point Becma to be considered by Mr. Fremont as thu beginning of the great expedition. The party con sisted of twenty-seven parsons , all ( mounted except eight men , who conducted as many carts , each drawn by two mulra. Tin- celebrated Kit Carson was guide for the party and Charles I'reuss of Germany was topographer. Among the twenty-one men engageil by Fremont at St. Louis I mil ice the names of August Janlsso and HaslI Lnjcuiiesse. The first of these Is doubtless a relative of the JanisHcs formerly living at Fort Larnmlo and Laramle and well known to nil old-timers. The other hnw , I believe , ( U-scmidcnts still living In this stale. On the 10th ot June , 1812 , the party loft thu Kansas river and proceeded westward , on the trip , Tlio 10th was Friday "a rlr- cumstanco which our men did not fall to re member and recalled during the hardships nnd vexations of the ensuing Journey" says Ctilcnol Fremont In hlo narrative. KN'TWANCB OF WYOMING. . About noon July II ! Fremont crossed the Forty-ilrst patallol of north latitude ) nnd entered what Is now Wyoming. lie ciosaed i'lo lliv > about twenty-four milca cost anJ nine miles south of where Cheyenne now Htands , encamping on the evening-of the inth on Muddy creek about two and one- halt miles suiitbweat of Kgbcrt station on the Union t'aellic railway. In township M , range 02. Journeying northward the folloiv- Ing day the ixirty struck Little Ilorso creek about three miles above Its Junction with Hor.se > creek and almost at the present cite of Little Horse Creek oostolllcc. Continuing down Ilc-rso creek they encamped the even ing of July M. jufit north of Goshen nost- olllct > , below tbo mouth of litar creek , In township 20. lange til. On the 15th , Fremont icached the I'latte river at a yolnt about thirteen miles below Fort Laramle and con tinuing up fbo stream they soon reached Fort I'latte "a past -belonging to Messrs. Syblllo , Adams & Co. , situated Immediately in the point of land at the Junetlon of the Jjurnmle with the I'latto. " Continuing , Krernont s > iya : "A few hundred yar'ds brought us In view of the post of the American Fur company , called Fort John , or Laramle. This was a largo post , having more tlio air of military construction than < the fort ( it the mouth ot the river. A cluster of logo , which the language told us , belong 'to ' Sioux Indians , nos pitched under the walla , and , with tm ! fine background ot tbo Illack Hills and the ( iromliicnt peak ot Lnramle > mountain strongly drawn in the clear light of the western sky \\foero thu BUII had already set , the whole t'ormcd at the moment , a strikingly beautiful iilcture. " It will bo seen that at the time of Fre mont's visit there were two forts near the junction of the Laramlo and North I'latte rivers "Fort I'latto" being In the Imme diate fork ot the two streams and " 'Fort John" ( now Fort Laramle ) occupying a point about a mlle above the confluence at thu present plto of Fort Laramle. Tlio Syblllo mentioned above is the man whose ' " name attache's to the stream well known In our state anil sets nt rest the much argued ( juc&llon as to KB orthography. At Fort Laramlo Fremont rejoined the di vision of his party , which , under the leader ship of lib trusty man , I'reuss , Imd oep- nrale.l from the main ramp July i ) on the .South I'htttc , and which , between these two points , hail pursued a somewhat different course. From I'reuss' diary I note ? "Wo HH't a largo party of traders and trappers iHitiductod by Mr. Hridgcr , a man well known In the * hUtory of the country. " This Is our celebrated Jim Drldger , well known to many of our old-timers. 1'retifH encamped ono evening at "Clilin- > iey Hock , " be-low Fort Laramle , and speaks ns folluws of that renowned landmark : "It consists of mare and earthy limestone and the- weather Is rapidly diminishing Its height , which Is now not more than 200 feet nbnvu the river. Travelers who visited It seine years elnco place. Us height at upward of 000 feet , " A MOor would hardly recognize the rock in IU present condition , no rapid bus been the disintegration in recent years WAUNKll 11V INDIANS. At Fort Lai.uulo Fremont was warned by mini or jus Indian chiefs not 'to proceed west ward , UK lie would surely bo attacked by their young \\anlors If ho did. No heed was paid to this warning , however , nnd In the ulternoon of July 21 , after a week's sojourn ( it the fort , the expedition set out up the I'latto river , ramping that night at the mouth of Warm Springs creek on the right bank ot the I'latto river , In section 3 , town- nillp 2ii , range CO , and about three miles below the Falrbank smelter. Fremont ex- iimlncd this "Wurm Spring" and describes it minutely. In his diary of the 22d Fremont says : "An linerleil cone of black cloud rested during all the forenoon on tha lofty peak ot Lara- mlo mountain , which I estimated to bo U.OQO feef abovn the fort or C.COO feet above tin va. " Thla statement Is Interesting from the X. fact that the altitude of Laramle peak is actually obout 10,000 foot moro exactly , i.SOO < iwl terves to show with utmost ein- Dhnnls how free from exaggeration Fre mont's utatumcnta are in general. Hyper bole. Is a figure uf rhetoric Inwhich Fro- jnout never indulged even In estimating the altitude ot peaks. On July 2 the party encamped on the rlcht bank of the Platte at the mouth of the ror-n-flievfll , or Homo Shoo creak , In towui. hip 29 , ranrfe 08. Tula day Fremont e on the enormous quantities of sago brtMh ( Artemisia ) cove-Ting the country , remark- Ine that "tho whole air I * strongly Impreg nated and saturated with the odor of cam phor and spirits of tutpi-ntlno which be- lones to this plant. Jnlv 23 the enwunoment was on. the I'latto ot the mouth of Indian creek. In township 31. range C9 , aliout three miles southeast of Orln Junction , on the Cheyenne & North ern railway. On the 24th the camp was Ditched near the mouth of Ilcd Tick creek In tonnslilii 32. ranee 71. about four miles south of Douglas , the seat ot Con'mso ' county. The camp of July 23 was on the Tlatte obout three miles wcat ot Fort Fettcrman , on the emssv plot where now stands Mnl- com Campbell's ranch , In section 8 , town- shit ) " 3. range 72. On this t'av the party crossed the La , I'rele. a stream which derives Its name from a certain variety of grass of the cqul- Brtum or horse tilt family , which Is found abundantly at this place. The Wench for this variety of grass la Prole hence the r.nmo "I a 1'relo. " On the 2Ct'h ' the party rcaehal Deer Orenk. Fremont mentioning particularly on this ilav'a march the crossing of a "hand some stream called La Fourche Ilolseo" Wooded Fork. This Id the Ilex Kldcr of our eay. AT OLKNHOCK. The Deer Creek camp waa pitched where the town of Glen rock now stands In town ship 3.1 , range 75 , On the 27th the caravan repeatedly'crossed ' nnd re-crcssod the I'latto and camped at night about two miles cast of Casper In township 33 , range 79. On the 2Sth the camp wag on the Platte In township 33 , range SO , about tthree mllej above the mouth of Casper creek , 'ho party having been detained this day by Indians who gave extremely discouraging reports of drouth , grasshoppers , etc. Hlssonotte advlsod Fremont < to turn back , ami the latter real izing the hazardous nature of the expedi tion , left It optional with the men what action should be taken. Concerning this matter Fremont says : "I called. . , up my men and communicated to 'them ' fully the Information mation I had Just received , expressing to them my Ilxcd determination , o proceed to the end ot the enterprise on which I had been sent and leavlngt It optional with them to continue with mo or return. " Not a single man wavered. Lajeuncsse suggested they would eat the mules If ncrcas'iry and that ended the argument. Camp on the 23th was pitched on thp right Innk of the Platte at the mouth of Camp Creek ( named In 1SS1 ? jy the Unltcvl States surveying party ) absut three miles above Hates' Fork , In 'township 31 , range 82. Tl'e following day Fremont reached the lurgoIsland / about ten mile- ? above Hates' Fork , and encamped on the loft bank of thei river Ii > 'township ' 30 , range S3 , not far from Avoca Hot Springs , on the evening of July 30. Hero the party killed a number of mountain sheep , or goats , and In consequence the camp was named Goat Island. Any man familiar with the course of the North I'latto can readily find the point hero described as the island Is quite largo and easily identified. ON THE SWEETWATER. July 31 the party letft the river and pro ceeded westerly to ( strike the Sweetwater which stream they reached early In the day , camping atthe mouth of Horse creek In township 21) ) , range S3 , about three miles south ot A. J. HothwelPs ranch. Here large herds ot buffalo wcro encountered and a gen erous replenishment of the camp's larder speedily ( followed. August 1 the party moved but a abort distance up the Sweetwater aut : pitched camp for the night a mile .below that far-famed landmark. Independence Rock , In township 29 , range SC , on what la now Bd Merrill's ranch. This famous rock r\eea \ liiO feet above the level prairie , Is exactly one mlle In cir cumference at the base and covers about thirty acres -ground. . August 2 the outfit pitched their tents eight miles above Devil's Gate at the ex I act slte > of Uurbln'iD "U T" ranch 'a town ship 29 , range SS. Here Fremont says : "There was no timber of any kind on the river , but good flrca were made of dritt- wood. aided by the 'boh dc vache. ' " CVnnp August 3 was on the Sweetwater about four miles above Crook's Creek in township 29. range 92. and about eight mile * below Ilongls postolllce. On this day Fre mont encountered the only grizzly bear eeen en thlu trip , and caught his ilrst view ot thu Windy river mountains. August 4 he reached a point on the Sweet- water near the prrscnt pc tcfllce of Myers- vlllo ki township 30 , range 93. August 5. Camped on Sweetwater , where the postoinco of Drownsvllle now Is , im town ship 29 , range 9C. On the Cth of August they camped oa Strawberry creek , where at present stands the town of Lowlstou. On the 7th of August 'Fremont's ' Journal reads as follows : "Wo encamped en the Sweetwater within a few miles of the South Pass. " This camp was In township 29 , range 102. On the Sth the party crossed South I'asa and encamped at night on the Llttlo S-indy , in township 29 , range 104 , section 21. OVER THE DIVIDE. From Fremont's narrative It la easy to see that In passing over the Continental divide through South Pass , he experienced the same dlinciilty which has met later tourlats in that locality , for he says. "About six miles from our camp brought us to the summit. ' The ascent had been so gradual that , with all the Intimate knowledge popsossed by Carson , who had made this country hla homo for seventeen' years , we were obliged to watch very closely to Ted the place at which wo bid reached the culminating point. " Every man who has traveled this route will appreciate that statement. August 9 , at noon , halt was made on the Ulg Sandy , and at night the party reached East Fork and pitched camp In section 27. township 32 , range 107. Under 'the ' date of August 9. Fremont writes : "In the after noon' wei 'had a uovere stcrm of hall and cn- I camped at sunset on the 'First ' New Fork. Within the space of a few miles the Wind Illvor mountains supply a number of tribu taries to Green -river , which are called the Now 1'Vrlts. " East Fork Is the first of tlicso New Forks , as Fremont calls them. Ho further says : "Near our camp ( of Au gust 9) ) were1 two remarkably Isolated hills , ono of themi sufficiently largo to merit the name of mountain. They are called the Two Huttes. " Ono of these two buttes Is now known as Fremont's Ilutto , and the other lying Just southwest of It , Is not christened. To this camp Fremont gave the name of the "Two Hills. " August 10 the party proceeded up East Fork , passing about two miles west of Lovatt Drotbers' ranch and one mlle east of Steclo's , reaching , early In the day , the west end of Boulder lake , which Fremont says , "Is not very irregular width and ap parently great depth , and Is the headwater of the > third Now Fork , a tributary to Green river , the Colorado of the west. ! encamped on the north sldo about 350 yards frcm the outlet. " This camp was denominated "Bernler's Encampment" and .was In sec tion 14. township 33. range 10S. The Identity of this camp Is beyond .any question. The observation for -latitude , and the perfect and thorough description of the locality leave not the slightest doubt as to Its location. The lake , so Fremont rays. Is the head of the third 'NowFork , East Fork Is the llrat , Sliver creek Ibo second , and Uoulder creek , the outlet ot Douldor lake , is thu third. 'From ' this camp , on the 12th of August , Fremont and 'fourteen companions set out to climb the peak which now bears his name. This , after four days of severest work and enduring greatest hardship and privation , they succeeded In doing. . Concerning the ascent Fremont says ; "I sprang upon the summit and another step would have precipitated mo into > an 1m- monso snow Hold COO feet below. " "Wo mounted the barometer In the enow of the summit and , fixing a ramrod in a crevice , unfurled the national flag to vpaye in the breeze where never flag waved before. Whlln wo were sitting on Ibo rock a colliery iery bee came winging his flight from the eastern valley.and lit on tjio knee pf ono of the men. Bolting lilm , I put him In at least a lit place In the leaven of a largo book , among the flowers wo had collected on our way. The barometer stood at 18.293 , giving for the elevation of this summit 13,570 feet above the Quit of Mexico , which may bo called the hlgbrat flight of the bee. Far to the northwest we could Just discover the snowy heads of the Trols Tctons. Our camp nt the Two Hills bore S. 3 degrees oast. Wo proceeded to descend. We had accomplished an object of laudable ambi tion. Wo had climbed the loftiest peak of the Rocky mountains and looked down upon the gnonr 1.000 feet below and , standing where never human foot stood before , felt the exultation of first explorers. " Returning , the party reached Hemler's encampment nt dusk , August 1C , and ono day later camped again at the Two Hills. CHRISTIAN SYMI10L. t'cidcr date of August 23 , Fremont having again readied his camp at Independence Hock , says : "Here , not unmindful of the custom of early travelers and explorers In our country , I engraved on thla rock ot the far west a symbol of the Christian faith. Among the thickly Inscribed names I made on the hard granite the Impression of a largo cross , which I covered with a black prepara tion of Indian rubber , well calculated to rc- cht the Influence of wind and rain. It stands amidst the names ot many who have long since found their way to the grave and for whom the huge rock Is a giant grave store. " I have repeatedly examined the rock for this cross , but could never find It. Thou sands of names are there wlt'i dates running from 1S49 to the present day , but the most diligent .search has failed to reveal the fig ures 1SI2 , or the cross which Fremont do- scribes. Perhaps others have been more successful , but personally I have never been able to find the name of a single Individual belonging to Fremont's party. On August 31 , 1842 , Fremont and his rnrty reached Fort Laramlo on the return trip , having been absent therefrom Just six weeks ; and on October 17 , arrived at St. Louis. MOST USEFUL AND ACCURATE. Fremont's trip , whllo not itho first In point of chronology , was "by " far the most produc tive of useful and accurnto geographic and uclentlflc knowledge , The publication of his olllcial report .brought . oibout a complete re modeling ot our geographies , and -added nn Invaluable chapter to the history of western exploration. 4t Is surprising ito note how closely Fre mont's determination of the altitude of his peak approached the true figures obtained 'by ' our geological survey. He gives 13,570 feet above sea love * , while the accepted num ber \a \ 13,790. And all through hi. * narrative , wherever opportunity to make actual comparisons arises , wo find this same close accordance , and the utter absence of wild , exaggerated utatcments so common to writers of that clns.'and day. Fremont has not yet received a fMtlng recognition of his services at the hamlu of the American people , 'but ' .by . 'his ' own efforts he has left behind him two monuments of Impcrlsha'blo ' material. The Ilrst , his match- lou-s report of'the ' expedition of 1842 ; another , the loftiest peak In Wyoming , begun for him In the planet's youth and sculptured of last ing granite ibv the slow -hand of Time ; a giant monolith 14,000 feet high , Ice- chlclcd , storm-tinted , exhumed by the sun from a eopulchrc of Ice , and 'left stand ing there In wildest Isolation amid the rulnu of a 'bygone ' geological empire.

( Special. ) For the first time In ten years the state of Colorado Is ona cash basis and warrants issued on the revenue of 189S arc paid almost la soon as they are presented to the treasurer. This condition of affairs Is attributed to the gen erally favorable outlook of everything con nected with financial matters In Colorado and the prospects for Improvement In bust- ness conditions all over the state. The direct cause for the prosperity In state affairs Is , of course , attributable to the increase In the state receipts , which could not bo foreseen when the legislature passed the general appropriation bill and made the special appropriations for running the several state departments for 1397 and 189S. As Is well known , the lovcnuo the state received during 1S97 greatly exceeded the estimate of Auditor Parks and the prospects are now that for this year they will even go ahead of last and leave a surplus In the treasury after all appropriations are paid. All warrants issued now will be called In in twelve months and the unexpected pros perity of state finances has practically killed the warrant shaving business , as the holders of warrants can now afford to keep them until the state can pay them , and they thus save the percentage which went to the war rant shavers. This year all state appropria tions will bo paid In full and every state in stitution will receive what Is coming to U. Last year , on account of a slight threatened deficiency , n small amount was cut off from the appropriation of the Sol diers' and Sailors' Homo and the Normal school , but it will not be necessary to do this again. It was the especial care ot Auditor Ixiwell last year to see that no excess warrants were Issued , and for this reason some of the warrants were not Issued until ho was cer tain that the revenue to pay them with would bo forthcoming. The state olliclals are congratulating them selves on the favorable outlook and arc hopIng - Ing that no contingency will arise , as has happened In the past , to cause unexpected and needless drains on the treasury. SOUTH DAKOTA \I3\VS. Capital Itcmovnl In South Dakota. SIOUX FALLS , S. D. , Jan. 31. ( Special. ) It Is growing 'dearer ' every day that one of tbo chief Issues of the mcxt campaign In thlu state will bo the removal of tlio state capital from Plerro. When Pierre was chosen as the scat of government the people wore In fluenced largely through Jealousy of other towns , the chief opposition 'being ' centered on Huron. Huron Is now a candidate for the capital ami In tbo last bill Introduced In the legislature last wluter for the re moval cf the capital Huron was designated as the placD for the seat of government. It failed to pass and It Is very likely that any bill which prescribes any town to wbidi the capital shall bo removed would fall. While the ( icoplo of the state are willing to again vote upon this question , they are flerlously opposed to any change which will not bo a material benellt to the state. With better railroad facilities and closer connection with the lilack Hills It would be Impossible to re move the capital from Pierre , but the dis tance which It Is necessary tb travel by those v > lo : have business with the state government Is a serious objection to Its present location. The Btato has nothing Invested In building * , the prc.se it state house , a frame atructure , having been donated to the state by the city of Pierre. At any rate , the question will probably bc authorized to bo submitted to the people nt the election In 1900 and the next legislature will bo confronted with this perplexing cpjcstlonwhich has como up for consideration at' every session since tbo state waa organized , Grlrf Kill * n < Dakota Man. WHITE LAKE , 9. D. . Jan. 31. ( Special. ) The death of Miss Irene Lloyd and her father , 'Clinton ' Lloyd , the two deaths occur ring within eight hours of each other , has cast a gloom over the community. Mies Lloyd was an only daughter , aged 23 , Shu was a school teacher and bright and popular. She had been the Idol of her father's heart from Infancy. During her long illness ho had watched over her with the tondcrest care. Death claimed her Thursday at noon. Her grief-stricken father left the .bedside of Iho dead daughter. Later ho was found unconscious. A physician waa summoned , who tried arouao him , but all efforts failed and the father was dead at S p. m.

It U passing strange that It should have remained still unknown after nearly a century of occupation by a race of people , who called 'themselves In their own picturesque pliraso "gentos do razon , " or reasonable beings.

Not to 'these Oallfornlas are wo referring , but to the real California , Includ ing all tlicso and much more also ; a noble , self-sustaining province , Illlcd with the elements - monts of power ; n seat not only for mines and farms and llowera and orchards , but for factories which shall consume our raw material ; for marts whence great merchants shall deal with nil nations ; for docks which shall bo the rendezvous and the homo of tall ships which sail all sens , and where the teeming homes of a busy people shall ci'Ot the wide plains where once rode the picturesque vaquero and now sweep the steam plow and the giant harvester , creep up the slopes of the mountalnH and adorn every nook of their fruitful valleys.

Hut It Is here , awaiting only the coming of those who shall know how to do tboso things which shall make all our magnrilcent achievements of the past scorn trivial and petty. That at least the agricultural capabilities of the country were not generally understood before the decade of the CDs is Indeed re markable. That the Anglo-Saxon Invaders did not at first comprehend them Is , per haps , not surprising , , sjnco It was the first tlmu that the Americari. strain of that race had como In contact with a land of 'rainless summers , and those gf us who have not been hero too long will remember the difficulty In our own eases In believing that crops could grow with no vain-upon them for six months. And yet 'fijom , the Infancy of the race mankind has bpen familiar with such lands. The Garden , of jEden , if , 03 pious men have believed , It v-as situated at the confluence of the Kuphratcs and Tigris , re ceived no rain between . . .Vprll and Septem ber. There hcs never been a country better advertised than Palestine as a land flowing with milk and honey ; or , in other words , a good country for dairymen and beekeepers and the annual rainfall there Is confined tea a period of about fifty days. Northern Africa , the modern Al oria and Tunis , was the granary ejf. the ancient world , and no ri.lnf.all of consequenc6'occurs from Febru ary to December. The 'most celebrated and fertile portions of Spain itself arc dlstrlct.3 ot rainless summers. 1'ortlnns of Mexico , from which the Spanish conquerors came di rect to California , have a climate substanti ally llko-our own ; and yet , while the actual Spanish settlcro , of course , knew that crops could bo raised , and , In fact , did produce what was necessary for the ijupport of them selves and the requirements of the Alaskan hunters who traded on tlio coast. It was not until well Into the Ms that the agricultural resource of the state were seriously con sidered by anybody as Important sources of revenue , and twenty years more were re quired for mankind generally to become In formed of their vulue. ' SPANIARDS NOT FARMERS. The trouble was not with the land , but with the race which happened to discover and occupy It. The Soanish brantfi of the lyitln lace has never shown either desire or aptitude for thorough farming or kecii trad- Inp. They could nulther themselves develop the agricultural resources of California , nor sell land to others for Its value for that pur pose. Aiiglo-Saxcns have- not yet made the most or the best of California , but the Im provement since the days of Spanish and Mexican rule ras been marvelous. There were In Hie year 1SOO about 1,800 white per sons In the province. In 1840 this peculation had Increased to about 5,800 , although the Iccreasewas by no means so purely Aryan as the small body of original settlers , of whom many and perhaps moat were actu-1 natives of SValn. As is well known , tlio common sort of Immigrants into Mexico mingled freely with the aborigines of that country , the result being a distinctly Inferior racd , which pcssesficHl little of the pride and dignity of the Spanish conquerors and al most no Initiative or energy. The mingling of these lower typos with the Indian races of California added nothing that was de sirable and much that was undesirable tt > the progeny. As a result there gradually grew up class dlsMnctlc-na much more nronouoced than Is tidtial In weak colonies at such a distance from their mother country , and the accounts of the manner of life of the people whlJli have como down to us vary greatly according to the etrolum of society with whliAi the narrators came moat in contact. On the one hend were those ot pure Spanish blood , proud , dlgnllled. honest , cleanly , ab stemious and hospitable. Thla class con stituted the "society" of that day , and wore those whose characters are reflected In tbo flocounta which have cmo down to IM from ships' officers and other persons of eomo Importance who visited the coast. On tlio other hand was Iho mixed race , the de scendants of common soldiers and sailors , convlctu who WCTO permitted to emigrate from Mexico , no'cr-do-wclls and "assisted" Immigrants , who somehow founid their wuy hero or were Induced to uomo by the authori ties , who were unxlouv ( p Increase the popu lation , This was the dependent class , mostly attached In one form pr.another to tbo great rur.'C.'Jiesiiose owners. , cjre of pule Spanish blood , or , toward the la/jt of the Mexican occupation , Anglo-Saxons who had become naturalized and liitermarrjed with them. The ono thought of all these people waa to raise cattle. There w'ero ' homes In abun dance , but tbtfso haii a commercial value only because Indispeiyiajilo upon the ranges and ns the means of the special Intercourse to which life was larseft devoted , The ag- rlcultiiro was confined to. whatever was en- sentlal to support Hfo while attending to the cattle and to ocllil enjoyments. The ono virtue which tlio'mixed races Inherited from their ancestral riloutta was abstemious ness. However faulty the , religious vlowti ot sonio of them , they nuvev made gods of their bellies , Of the delightful abominations ot French cookery they were wholly Innocent and of the toothsome mlnco plo of the Purl- tan they hail no more conception than ot the dyspeptic theology which accompanied Its Ubc ; their ne-cc.isitlM of llfo were beef , flour , beans , peppers and garlic ; for the beef they provided by their own efforts and for the reel mainly by such energy as existed In the regenerate Indians , who also produced In small measure , for the moro luxurious , of such common vegetables as potatoes , onions , cabbages , corn nnd peas. When Indians failed tbo gontcs do razon wcro compelled to work a little In the Helelu themselves , but they did not like It. Whatever work could bo Oono upon horseback they enjoyed , took prldo In and did well , Such days a.s they spent tilling tbo flcJ ! they counted as days lost. lost.Of Of course It was not possible -that such a people ohould develop an agricultural coun try , From their standpoint there was no reason why they should. What they desired they iKiil , or could get with the least penal- bio exertion , nnd having that It would bo hard to give a reison why they should do more. The beat days ot the Spanish occupa tion were Jolly old time * , the like of which we shall never see again In California , and which , possibly , the world no longer knows anywhere. Like most abstemious people they were early risers. A cup of coff.ro on rising was qulto sulllclcnt refrcjhtnent to last for a lido of some hours over < thc > ranges , return ing to a col 111 breakfast at S or 9 o'clock. After breakfast ( hero was a similar ride until dinner ; after dinner another rldo until supper , and after supper very likely another rldo until bed time. Of course , there nas n fresh horse for each trip. Some of the rid ing was to look after thii stock and some of It on social expeditions. Apparently the tanchcros themselves rode mostly for pleas ure and their employes , the vaqueros , rode mostly on business , but business was sel dom pressing , and all classes rode largely for fun. Dancing , music and monte were among the serious duties of life ; for amusements they had IIOMO racing , cock lighting and for saints' days or other specially sacred occa sions bull baiting. It was a time when "overy morning brought a noble chance and every chance- brought forth" If not a noble knight , at least some ono equal , to the oc casion. When llfo could bo spent In this wlso It was thought folly to delve In the hot sun. Questions of fertilization did not concern the happy men of tlvoso days , for when ono piece of land fell off In yield they simply plowed up another. There were no debts for farm machinery , for any one could sharpen an oak bough , and the large ranches usually had skillful men who could mnku shift to sharpen them with Iron. For reap ing machinery there was no need , since In diana had been taught to wield sickles , nnd whllo doing- that were not falling Into sinful ways ; the thrashing machine was a hard spot of earth , whereupon bands of mares wcro kept galloping in circles till the grain was thrashed out ; It was all they did for the whole year , except ralso a colt ; the In dians threw the thrashed grain with shovels into the air and the strong west winds blew the chad' away ; the grain was ground In home-made mills ot some kind , and there they were. Twice a year there were a few days or weeks of real work which possibly , after nil , yielded more tun than any other time ; at any mte. It was a change. These oc casions wcro In the tprlng when the cattle were rounded up and marked , and In the Tall tttien those fit for killing were slaugh tered. Hctwecn times there were the hunt ing after strays , the- occasional roundup for the purpose of snip or to kecv the cattle wonted to the process. That was all. In the early autumn nns the harvest of hides and tallow ; the hides were worth $2 apiece and the tallow from G to S cents a pound , KO that the ranchers who slaughtered 1,000 bullocks fcad from $10,000 to Jlfi.OOO to last him a yoar. Ho did not , however , see much money. For the most part he traded his output to the ships which frequented the coast , taking txiy In such merchandise as he desired at fearfully high prices. The thrifty Now Knglanders , who owned most of the shlpa. were keen traders and exploited the easy going Callfornlans nt a gnat rate.VMllo the mlsslonn lasted they wore great center.s of wealth , and more was made of the 1-uiel than alter their secularization. In 1834 , when secularization took place , the twenty-caio mis sions Inventoried of horned rattle , 395.400 ; horses , Cl.COO ; shetp , goats and pigs , 321,500. The B-ime year they harvested 123,000 bushels ot wheat , maize , barley and beans. Their lands had been granted to the hard-riding latichcros , nnd of1iat they produced there are no reliable records. They paid no taxes except duties on Imports , and there wuro consequently no assessments or olllcial icc- orels of any kind. GRANTS FOR CATTLE FARMS. William Heath Davis states that there wrro 1,043 grants made by governors , cf which he estimates that SOO were actually stocked with cattle , and that they averaged 1,500 head to each rancho , which would glvo n total of 1,200,000 cattle. Ho enumerates eighty-seven of the largest , which were nlsa "haciendas , " or cultivated farms , but gives na estimate of their agricultural produce. They inlsed what they needed and usually had sulllclcnt for the ships and for Alaskan trade. The people lived the life which has been described and had n merry time , grad ually deteriorating In character and morals as they mingled more with outsiders and ab sorbed more undesirable ) elements into their population. The settlements wore along the bay and coast from Napa and Sonoma south. East ot Sulsun bay 'the country was unset tled and for the most part unknown. When In August , lUo'J , Captain John A. Suiter as cended the Sacramento for the purpose or settlement ho went into an ajmost unex plored country , with artillery and ammuni tion for protection against the Indian Inhabi tants. Eir'lit years later , when Captain C. M. Weber undertook to sE'ttlo at what is now Stockton , It was considered a perilous un dertaking. Except for the less distance and the moro tractable nature of the Indians , It was much such a venture as a settlement In Illinois in 1830. And yet this magnlllcent country had lain within a stone's throw of Spanish settlements fcr half a century. In short , during all the occupation of California by the Latin race there was no agriculture worthy of being called such. Fruits were almost unknown , except as the missions pro duced a few oranges and a few olives , and such grapes as wcro required to supply wine and brandy for the consumption of the faith ful , nut wo have changed all this. Anglo- Saxon energy has transformed the country , and with the coming of a greater popula tion a still moro remurkablo transformation awaits. III in'nil Soap of XVyomlnu ; . For several years a peculiar white clayey rock has been known In Wyoming , which , when moistened , gocu Into a 'greasy ' mass , rcacrnlblng soap , says the Wyoming Trrbnno. The clay on thle account has often been called mineral scap , although , strictly spsak- lug. It contains no free alkali and , of course , no oil , and cannot , therefore , properly bo callcvd soap. { Still , on account of Its peculiar consistency when molutened , 'It Is very con venient for use In removing dirt , and bus olten been used for that purpose. In the last finv yoam a great demand has sprung up { or this clay In the east , anil It bun Increased until laet year 2GO.OOO pounds were chipped from the Rock creek beds alone. The strange part cf It Is that no ono has 'been able to f.nd out what use Is made of the clay. Its ultimate dcutlmitlon bus been kept a pro found secret. None of the' mineral experts of the United Statca to whom the < | tie ' .Ion has been submitted have been able to do more than suggest a possible use. Since the re cent publication of the description of this mineral In tlio Engineering and Mining Jour nal by Prof. W. C. Knight , nho gave It a n'imo ' 'an ' a new spocica , there has been an Increased demand for the clay from many party of the country , although entirely from middle men , from whom no further Informa tion ns to Its use can bo Obtained. It has ibeen suggested that It might bo tiscxl ifor complexion powder , shoo powder and numerous other things , or possibly it may be coming Into une as an adulterant , or to add weight to t-omo material. The clay has 'been ' found In extensive beds throughout the oreaoous formation of Wy oming , so the supply Is 'practically Inox- liniiEtlble. The chief characteristic of the clay Ls Its remarkable power ot absorbing water and other -liquids , of which It will take uii many times Its own volume without creasing to ibo a solid. lloiitiinii Viiluntloii of .Shrc'ii.
