Although the building ext to it. was only ten or twelve feet away, it was Saved, although the fire caught on it once or twice.

Hughey keeps the boys straight. We werethen so high up, that trees would not grow, celled above "the timber line ;" but a short way !rem the top. We went to the cabin of the Iminers and, being invited to . eat dinner with them, or as they bad, have someeilap- jack, we could not refuse. The miners then showedius what they wereitaking out of the mm t mine. .Frounder he bed they pulled out a tmali box and it was full of wire gold, looking very snabh like lace work; It was in large sheets, eay a foot loeg, and tio handsome., From there we went to the mine; where this gold came from. All tLie nice and solid pieces they took to their cabin, but that which was in the rook was piled up so as to be taken to the mili and crushed, and the gold gotten out of it. This mine they commenced digging from the top, the same as a well. Over this was a godd sized house, so the men could have shelter from the snow. This mine was worked the same as digging a well ; had a windlass, with two men at the top drawing up what two men could dig below. We started then to return home. The very thought frightened me; but I let the rest take the lead. When part way down I heard some of my party talking to some one -who seemed to be coming up the mountain. I took all for granted. I did not look. In the evening I Saw the gentlemen that we had met, and I asked them if they had been up to see the Ontario mine, and if they were not the gentlemen we had met coming down (the miner of our party had pointed them ont to me as the ones), they said they had been up there mad heard talking, but not feeling very well, they paid no ettention. I told them my eye- sight generally was good, but OH moun- tains meld not bo depended on. Where we were was 11,000 feet higher than the level of the sea. Then after a short sleigh ride, we spent al day at Leadville ; the wonderful city of mines. After a ,ehort visit there, in different mines and an invitation (which was refused). to go. down one of - these mines or shafts in a barrel lowered by an engine, some 500 feet down, we went to Pueblo,a city built almost between mountains which made it very warm. I must give you a letter some time of my trip to the Oblorado Springs, if a letter of that kind would be accepta- ble. Yours truly, UNCLE HENRY. Local Notices.

MR.EDieee.—Thiiiking a line or two from the Fax West might interest the many persons who a ligently watch the coming of your excellent paper, and no . doubt read. the many interesting articles that have been foued in its columns. Now I think a little sketch of Denver, Colorado, also of a ehort trip I took, may please them - Denver- is a lax e city of probably 60,000_ people. W have fine wide streets, splendid sto e and brick blocks, nice churches and. S niday nhools, lots of nice pablic schools, street oars, water works, gas, electric lights, and all those nice things that make a fine dty. We are to have a mining exposition, corns mewing in August. This will be for the showing ,or eXhibiting of rock, or ore, as we call it, coetaining gold, silver or other metals—the same as you have in your section of country, only.you exhibit grains, vegetables, flowers and stich things. I - We have splendid, grain, etc., but we • have big ditches made from the mom- tain streams, and then little ditches are made an most any street, slid any one can then dig a little ditch in their yard pr garden, and keep the ground moist. We do not have rain enough here to keep the grass green. The climate here • is nice and pleasant. But a few miles from the city the gfeat Rooky Moun- tains loom up He venward, and some of the highest peakt are oovered with iimow the year roan g and a cool, gentle breeze always from; them, makes it so - pleasant. i 1 I took the train al few days ago to go to Leadville and Prieblo.
