"At a recent reception at which tho
fashion and beauty of Denver were
assembled one of the ladles found her
self seated next to Gen. Sumner," says
the Denver Times. "He had been pre
sented to her earlier In the evening,
but she had not quite caught bis name
certainly not his title. Beamingly,
she asked: 'May I ask what Is your
occupation? Don't think me rude, for
I have made a study of determining
such matters without asking questions,
but I must confess that you puzzle me.
I am at a complete loss to place you.'
'Madam,' replied the commander of tho
department of tho Colorado, with his
most serious countenance, 'I am a
squaw man.' A a what?' she man
aged to gasp. 'A squaw man, madam.'
'I am afraid I don't quite understand
yet,' said the fair interlocutor after a
few minutes' cogitation, in which she
took In the general's whole appearance,
and decided that there must be another
meaning to the term beside that to
which she had been nccustomed. 'Why,
that is easy enouch to cumlaln in
cities to the coming census, for the Lead
people say Lead haB a greater popula
tion, and Deadwood also claims au"
premacy in sisterly fashion. Just from
appearances one would take Lead to be
the larger town, because you can see it
all in a bird's-eye view, with the business
houses cramped along one narrow street
in the bottom of the canyon and the
residence portions climbing the bills
around. Deadwood seems to have
more room in the hollow of the canyon
and it strings out interminably to the
smelters two miles or so below. Many
fine residences are half hidden up
among the pines. You would imagine V
that a wealthy man would build some
sort of elevator so that he might reach
hid Lares and Penates at night with
strength and ambition enough to enjoy
them. Deadwood is really a very pretty
city, though it would be more attractive
if it could escape from the ugly trick
Lead plays that awful gray water
which comes down from the roaring
stamps of the Homestake mills! Spear
fish river would make Deadwood all
that could be wished, but instead it has
that hideous gray stream good for
nothing and a plague on the sight. It
can not be used to put out fires, and I
seriously doubt if it would make an end
of even the ninth life of a superfluous
kitten. All the way down the canyon
from Lead it comes, stopped in its
course occasionally by men searching
for the last dregs of gold, run through a
straining process in one place so that
the clear water may be used in the mill
