city of its size in America. I.'or the first six
weeks after I "struck these diggings," the
shooting averaged one per week ,, and were
-nearly all hasty and virtually unprovoked..
yet they were notably confined to, gamblers,
and keepers of bad women, and money or
women, or both were invariably the primary
causes. Then, as to hold-ups," which drive
such terror to the heart of the " tenderfoot,"
I have found this fact almost a universal one
viz :---that those only have been held up, who
have made an injudicious and perhaps drunk- '
en display of their effects, over some saloon
counter or gambling table, and before either
strangers or men Of doubtful reputation.
What wonder that some avaritious, Or lazy
kungers would resolve to follow one home
and on the way "boll him up" and relieve -
him of some of his surplus cash. Such things
wonld at any rate :be as likely to happen ma.
der the saine,eircumstances in the East as in
the West, and rarely- occur in Leadville to
those who choose, their company and watch

cautions with regard to the company he keeps.
and the places he. frequents here, ;that he
would anywhere else, need have no fears of
either being shot, held tip or disturbed. -
In a future letter, I may have Something
more to say about Leadville, its mining inte-
rests, methods of gambling, and inner life,
space and time forbidding an enlargement
upon all these heads in one letter; especially
as it is no easy task to picture to Eastern
readersthe peculiarities of a country, , whose
commerce, mode of money-makin,g; climate,
and general characteristics, differ so materi-
ally from all -preconceived notions we have
concerning:them. Colorado must be seen to
