Written especially for the NewEra.
' Twin -Lakes"-Leadville'§ Most popular
eummer•resort-have been termed the, •' gems
of the Sierras." The two lakes, connected by a;
stream ,of ,water, are mountain -looked witliin
the snow-capped: peaks of Mounts Elbert, La
Platta and Twin peaks,' all of which tower
above Pike's Peak, and present the grandest
mountain scenery in the Rockies. The altitude
-ol. the laked; which furuieh the hi, guest boating
and flaking in the world, is 8,360 feet, and they
constitute, undoubtedly, one of the moat heal-
thy and delightful Bummer resorts on the eon-.
tiuent. The lakes are very ,large and deep -
the upper. ono never having been fathomed-
and their waters are as clear as crystal and the'

apart a"day' for the elimb,'and do it'rfp properly.
Accordingly, flaying on the previous evening
after a three mile walk, succeeded in securing
the -services of three guides and a couple • of
mountain jacks or burros, we setout:at an early
