HE first settlement was made in California Gulch, in the north- ern part of Lake county, Colorado, in the spring of 1860. The Pike’s Peak fever being on the wane, the stream of immigration, which had been rushing thither, was diverted into the valley of the Arkansas, and thence up California Gulch. By the middle of the summer of the same year, between two and three thousand people had gathered in the gulch, being scattered all the way from its mouth, at Malta, along its entire length, a distance of about eight miles. These people lived in log cabins, in bark and brush huts, in tents, and in the open air. The whole country swarmed with men, but among the whole multitude of diggers for gold there was not one who, in those years, dreamed of digging into the sides of the mountains for silver. Upon the approach of the winter of 1860, nine-tenths of the placer-diggers left for other localities. In the spring they returned in smaller numbers, and from that time on the gulch was worked as placer-ground until within about three or four years since. These placer-diggings were exceedingly rich, and the amount that has been taken therefrom since their discovery in 1860 is variously estimated at from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000. The discovery of the Printer Boy gold mine, in 1869-70, at the point now known as Oro City, three miles up California Gulch from the present site of Leadville, created a new excitement in this locality. Previous to that time the settlement in the gulch, a little east of where Leadville now is, was called Oro; and, to distinguish between them, the new place three miles up the gulch was styled New Town, and the original settlement Old Town, and sometimes Agassiz. i About this time the Oro Mining, Ditch and Fluming Company dug a ditch eleven miles long, from the Arkansas river at Birdseye Gulch to Old Town, at a cost of between $50,000 to $60,000. This was a work of great importance, and strengthened the growing in- terest in the locality. Still, the miners labored under the greatest } | § by 1 4 HISTORY OF LEADVILLE. discouragements, and the population of the gulch gradually thinned out. In 1875, two members of the Oro company, Messrs. Stevens & | Wood, conceived the idea of prospecting in the hills for silver, and struck hard carbonates in the Rock Mine, on the slope of a moun- tain about two miles southeast from Old Town, besides one or two others. But the ore in these mines was of so low a grade, and the freight to the nearest mills or railroad point so high, that there was little to encourage the working of these claims, and very little profit was derived from them, although great faith was had in the exwensiveness of the deposits. The first important discovery of soft carbonates was made at the Camp Bird mine (whose remarkable richness holds out to-day), located in what is now known as Stray Horse Gulch, about two miles east of Leadville, near Freyer Hill. The striking of the same kind of mineral in the Charleston, Keystone, Pine, and Terrible mines, followed soon after. It was now that the fame of the car- bonate region began to be noised abroad. Yet still greater discov- eries were soon to transpire. The first strike of mineral on Freyer Hill, which has achieved a world-wide fame, was in the New Discovery mine. Freyer Hill is situated in Stay Horse Gulch, about two miles from Leadville, and is a gentle elevation, rising not over a hundred feet, and containing “some 200 to 250 acres. A prospector named William H. Lovell had sunk thereon a shaft to the depth of forty feet, when his money gave out; and, after prolonged efforts to induce some one to furnish him the means wherewith to prosecute the work, he finally prevailed upon William Borden, a son of John Borden, a prominent citizen’ of Chicago, to advance the requisite money. George H. Freyer, a hitherto unsuccessful miner, joined in the work for a “grub stake,” and Lovell and Freyer sank the shaft until they struck paying min- eral in handsome quality and quantity. This is the history of the New Discovery, the first “strike” made on Freyer Hill. The Little Pittsburgh was the next mine to contribute to the celebrity of this hill. Its history is a romance in itself. Two poor diggers, August Rische and Richard Dillon, had been prospecting on Freyer Hill until they had spent their last cent, and could not obtain a dollar’s worth of credit for provisions. In this strait they went to H. A. W. Tabor (since elected lieutenant-governor of the state), and induced him to “grub” them for a third interest in their claim. Before Mr. T. had advanced a hundred dollars, out of a grocery-store he was then running, they struck the richest vein of i —— = = Photo. by D.D BURNHAM. “FRYER HILL,” SHOWING THE FOLLOWING MINES: 1.

Albert Cooper struck a heavy deposit of mineral in the Carbonate mine (better known as the Hallock and Cooper), on the hill between Freyer Hill and Cali- fornia Gulch. In the same neighborhood followed soon afterward the discovery of the Yankee Doodle, Crescent, and Little Giant; and thenceforward the © strikes” of mineral, in small and large quantities, have followed in such rapid succession that it would be in vain to attempt any consecutive account of the new discoveries. Ground was first broken for a house upon the site of the present corporation of Leadville on the 18th of June, 1877, when it received its existing name, and the adjacent settlement of Old Town became absorbed in Leadville. The city is located upon the left bank of California Gulch, upon a bench of land gradually inclining to the west, immediately flanked by gentle elevations, affording eligible and picturesque sites for residences, while on either hand rise the apparently near, but actually remote, snow-clad peaks of two great ranges of the Rocky Mountains, upon which, at morning and even- ing, the rising and setting sun plays in spectacles of ever-varying beauty and splendor. The infant town rose like magic, and before the season closed it numbered two thousand people; but the approach of winter drove a good portion of these away. In the spring of 1878, however, the rush again set in, and before midsummer there were between five and six thousand people in the camp. Improvements began to assume a more enduring shape, and it became apparent that the city was not to be of that ephemeral character which distinguishes $0 many mining camps. 3 In November, 1878, a fair test was afforded of the substantial character of the place. The rich discoveries at Silver Cliff were published far and wide, and created an unusual excitement in the public mind. It was at first thought that Leadville would lose half its population ; yet although a few hundred left for these new silver fields, the exodus scarcely created a.ripple in the steady current of the new city’s growth, and those who went have almost to a man returned. REAL ESTATE. The rise in real estate in Leadville has simply been marvelous. At first good business lots brought twenty-five dollars. In the spring and summer of 1878 squatters on the leading streets asked . y . . sy TR 6 HISTORY OF LEADVILLE. all the way from one hundred to five hundred dollars for their claims of twenty or twenty-five feet front. In the fall months suc- ceeding, people began to talk of so much per foot, and before the snow fell fifty dollars per foot was asked on Chestnut street, the main business thoroughfare running through the city from east to weet. - Mr. William H. Stevens had applied to the government for a patent to the main portion of the town, and he sold by contract to the “ Leadville Improvement Company” a strip four hundred feet in width through north and south from State street to the northern limits of the city, paying eighteen hundred dollars therefor,—a price not a third as high as one lot on the same tract has since brought. In the center of this strip the company laid out a broad avenue—the present Harrison avenue—ninety feet wide, leaving them a tier of lots on each side, out of which they have coined a small mint of money. From the 1st of January prices of choice lots on Chestnut street and Harrison avenue commanded one hundred dollars per foot, cash. By the 1st of February two hundred dollars per foot had been refused for a lot on the corner of Harrison avenue and Chest- nut street. This lot (fronting on Harrison) with two others adjoin- ing, was purchased early in January by the Lake County Bank for one hundred and thirty-three dollars per foot. At the time these pages were written (during the first: part of February) it may be stated that the price of lots on Chestnut street averaged one . hundred and fifty dollars per front foet for three or four blocks, and the same may be said of property on Harrison avenue. THE DIFFERENT MINING NEIGHBORHOODS. The principal mining localities around Leadville are the follow- ing: Little Evans Gulch, two or three miles northeast of the city; Big Evans Gulch, a mile or two farther south; South Evans Gulch (a branch of Big Evans), lying five or six miles directly north of Leadville; Freyer Hill, about a mile north of the city limits, and sloping down on the north to Big Evans Gulch; Stray Horse Gulch, running east from Leadville along the base of Freyer Hill, and up to Adelaide City, a suburb distant some two miles; Cali- fornia Gulch, running up past Oro in an easterly direction, half a dozen miles; Iowa Gulch, and Empire Gulch, the latter two run- ning east, nearly parallel with California Gulch. In addition to the above, there are the Chalk Mountain and Ten-Mile Camps, the one about twelve and the other eighteen miles from Leadville (the latter in Summit county).

These localities run into each other, and mines that should be classed in one lap upon an- other, so that it would be difficult to make out separate lists of the claims properly belonging to each. And then, in the haste of locat- ing, and the consequent confusion of describing . the consecutive prospects, there has arisen considerable indefiniteness. For instance, in one of the maps prepared by an experienced draughtsman, the Freyer Hill and Big Evans mines, together with those at Adelaide City and on the top of the mountain immediately east of Leadville, are all designated as in Stray Horse Gulch; and, in fact, “up Stray Horse” has been a general appellation applicable to nearly all the claims north of California Gulch. The richest of all the mining localities witnin the Leadville dis- trict is Freyer Hill. Here are located the inexhaustible Little Pitts- burgh Mine, the great Little Chief, the New Discovery (probably the richest in the entire district in unmixed carbonates), the Car- boniferous, the Chrysolite, the Vulture and other producing mines of great value. The first three of these mines are at the present writing producing from fifty to one hundred tons of ore each, but let it be borne in mind that this is done simply in the process of developing, that is, in tunneling drifts for the purpose of estimating the extent and capacity of the deposits in the mine, no “stoping ” (or regularly extracting mineral for milling) being done in them as et. y THE GENERAL CAPACITY OF THE MINES. In the present condition of the smelting and sampling business in Leadville, the facilities of which are far inadequate to meet the demands of the camp, it is futile to attempt to make any reliable “average of the daily output of the principal producing mines. Only the highest grade ores are taken to the smelters, and some of the . mines are piling up their mineral, waiting for a better market. The statement can be made, without any fear of successful contradic- tion, that if all the mines in the district could have had their ore promptly handled since the first of January, 1879, from that date to the present the aggregate daily production of the district would have been between 1,500 and 2,000 tons. A reliable assayer of Leadville, Professor B. M. Newcomb, has authorized the statement that previous to the first of January there were eighty-five claims in the Leadville district which would pay to work were there adequate milling facilities. HISTORY OF LEADVILLE. As an illustration of the difference between the capacity to pro- duce and the actual production, it may be stated that the Little Chief, the mine purchased by John V. Farwell and others of Chi- cago, was sending to mill at the beginning of the present year about sixty tons of ore per day, while it is the intention of the managers to produce two hundred tons on the first of April. On the first of February the Pine and Camp Bird mines (up Stray Horse Gulch) had several thousand tons of ore dumped upon the outside of their shafts and piled up in the 6,000 or 7,000 feet of drifts they have run. THE MINES THAT HAVE MINERAL IN PLACE. Herewith is presented a carefully compiled alphabetical list of the mines and mining claims in the Leadville district, only includ- ing therein such mines as have actually found mineral in place, and thereby been entitled to be surveyed and properly located. The actual producing mines are marked with a star, and all capable of producing over fifty tons per day are put in capitals: [The Jetters s. E., B. E., L. E., E. G., C.

There arc three smelting works located in the city of Leadville, owned respectively by the St. Louis Smelting and Refining Com- pany, J. P. Grant, and Berdell & Witherell. The capacity of the Harrison Reduction Works is one hundred tons per day; that of the Grant Works about the same, and that of the Berdell & Witherell Works between seventy-five and eighty tons. All of these estab- lishments are now running up to their full capacity, which is about a hundred tons per day each. In addition to the above, there are two other smelting works in the vicinity —one at the suburban locality of “Adelaide City,” three miles east of Leadville, owned by the Adelaide Company, and another at Malta, three miles below Leadville. The capacity of the Adelaide Smelter is forty tons per day, and that of the Malta Smelter is There are in contemplation two other large smelting establish- ments, each with a greater capacity than either of the existing ones. These are certainties, and will be in course of erection when this work reaches the hands of the reader. There are numerous other parties discussing the question of erecting smelters, but as nothing definite has been done with reference to them at the present writing, they are not further alluded to here. SAMPLING WORKS. There are two sampling establishments in Leadville, one owned by Aug. R. Meyer & Co., and the other by James & Eddy. The former handles some fifty or sixty tons of ore per day, and the latter about seventy-five tons per day. REFINING WORKS. A number of gentlemen of capital and experience from Utah territory, and experience in the business of reducing ores, have \ 12 HISTORY OF LEADVILLE. associated together for the purpose of establishing refining works in Leadville. Among these gentlemen are the Wurtzenbach Bros, . whose reputation as handlers of silver ore is well established. They have purchased thirty acres of ground just west of the Berdell & Wetherell Smelting Works, and have contracted for the lumber ~ needed in the erection of their works. Refining is the separating of silver from lead Bullion, while smelting is the process of reducing the crude ore in the furnace to bullion, which contains silver and lead together, the latter largely predominating. The company of gentlemen just alluded to also propose estab- _ lishing white-lead works.in connection with the refining process. HOW TO REACH LEADVILLE. UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD. There are three main trunk lines beyond the Missouri river leading to Colorado. One is the Union Pacific, with its branch from ‘Cheyenne down to Denver. No omnibus transfer is required at Denver, as the Union Pacific and South Park depots are together. The Denver and South Park Railroad is completed to Webster, seventy miles from Denver. A new first-class stage line, fully equipped with the finest Concord Coaches, runs between George- town and Leadville via Ten Mile Camp. The distance from Den- ver to Georgetown is fifty-two miles, and from Georgetown to Lead- ville is sixty miles, so that this new route will be twenty-five miles shorter than any other between Leadville'and Denver and the East. The stage distance will also be considerably less than that of any other route. Passengers from the East will arrive at Georgetown the same evening as at Denver, and reach Leadville the next day, thus saving one day’s time over all other routes. The route from Denver up the famous Clear Creek Cafion, over the splendid track of the Colorado Central R. R. to Georgetown, thence over lofty mountain ranges to Leadville will be the most attractive of all in the views it will afford of grand and magnificent scenery. Next is the KANSAS PACIFIC RAILROAD, running from Kansas City directly to Denver, Colorado. From Denver take the Denver, South Park & Pacific Railroad to Web- ster, seventy miles west of Denver by rail. At Webster take stages of Denver & South Park Stage Line, twenty-eight miles to Fairplay and forty-two miles to Leadville via the new Musquito Pass road. SMYOM HNITINVS S.AAAH » SHNVS [00 "OI[IAPBYT ‘WVHNHAY "( d £q ‘0j0ug HOW TO REACH LEADVILLE. 13 This is one of* the best stage lines in Colorado; it is splendidly equipped with the largest size Concord coaches, with fine stock. It is run by Spotswood & McClellan, old and experienced mountain stage men, and as fine gentlemen as ever drew rein over a four or six-in-hand. At present they run four stages daily, and when the travel require run additional coaches. By the line through Denver via Denver South Park & Pacific R. R. and Denver and South Park Stage Line, one hundred miles of staging is saved as against the Southern line to Leadville. The short line from the Missouri river to Leadville is via Kansas Pacific Railway. It is the shortest line from Chicago, although from Chicago it is almost as near via Omaha, but from all points south of Chicago it is much the shortest line to Denver, viz: VIA KANSAS PACIFIC RY.

F. route runs to Pueblo and Denver (you can buy a ticket over this line from any Eastern office), and thence by a nar- row-gauge road, which it controls, to Cafion City, which is now the starting point for the stage line connecting with it. In reference to the latter, it may be stated that during the writing of this description Barlow & Sanderson, the proprietors of the line, have received from Concord, New Hampshire, twelve. superb coaches. These, in addition to their already immense stock, will enable them to make the trip up the valley of the Arkansas the ensuing summer nothing but a pleasure-ride. The route from Cafion City is farther than that from the terminus of the Denver and South Park Railroad via Denver. To acclimated persons and old pioneers the South Park route is the favorite one from Denver. The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fé Railroad also have a line to Leadville from Kansas City, viz.: from Kansas City to Pueblo, thence via Denver & Rio Grande narrow-guage from Pueblo to 14 : HISTORY OF LEADVILLE. Cafion City, thence via Barlow & Sanderson’s daily stage line from Cafion City to Leadville. This is also an excellent stage line. The distanee from Chicago by this line is as follows: Chicago to Kansas City Kansas City to Pueblo Pueblo to Canon Clty -........ccansvcecerecennasmm na sessssssnmeecennusan ane anee Canon City to Leadville, stage... c..-oonoemmmncommmnmcaomnnnn monn mmm n es ; Chicago to Leadville In preparing for the journey to Leadville, we advise the pur- chasing of a half-dozen woolen shirts, of the heaviest flannel, or even soft woolen cloth — if you are going to camp out it can scarcely be too thick — a like number of pairs of drawers of the same mate- rial, and knit socks, being certain of bringing no cotton material with you. Have a sailor’s collar to your woolen shirt, and a silk or merino sailor's handkerchief, discarding the linen and paper collars, stand-up or turn-down. Of course if you are never going to ven- ture out of the city of Leadville, these directions need not apply; but if you intend looking at the mines, you will find much of the ordinary wearing gear of eastern society out of place here. Don’t think of bringing a “stovepipe ” hat to Leadville. There has never been half a dozen worn in its streets since its foundation, and half of these were demolished by the miners. There is no place among the mining camps where it would be convenient. TEN-MILE. The new Ten-Mile mining camp, some eighteen miles northeast of Leadville, though in anether county (Summit), is a wonder in its way. Corbonates are as a matter of fact more easily struck there than around Leadville. There are some one thousand people scat- tered about in cabins in the woods there, and two or three town plats have been laid off in the vicinity. The snow up there is from four to six feet deep, very much impeding mining operations. That there is a wealth to be developed in this district that will astonish the world is not doubted by any one who has carefully considered the indications thus far manifested. CHALK MOUNTAIN. Also in Summit county, though often classed in the Leadville district, are the mines of Chalk Mountain—the Ready Pay, the 90D ‘NONVO MHAYD 4VAT) ..‘M00Hd MAAVHL ,, 9D 0D 100 ‘NMOLIHYOTH ‘ALVH S/TIAAA “3y 3143-33-02 NOUINITAMYA COLORADO THE HEALTH OF LEADVILLE. 15 Grand Union, and a few others; the entire group at present being capable of producing about fifty tons per day. But this locality is thus far only in the infancy of its development, and the richness of its ore and its nearness to the surface bespeak for Chalk Mountain a rich development when the spring sun shall have melted off the great depth of snow which now impedes operations there. The mines of Chalk Mountain .are situated about twelve miles from Leadville, on the road to Ten-Mile. THE HEALTH OF LEADVILLE. There are certain diseases which have become quite prominent in Leadville, among which are pneumonia, congestive chills, throat affections, and heart disease. There are not many cases of other diseases, unless contracted before coming here. There has been very little genuine diphtheria here, most of the cases reported as such being tonsilitis or aggravated sore throat. A great portion of the sickness in the city is caused by drinking the villainous whisky and other vile mixtures sold over the counters of the innumerable saloons. There are less than two hundred graves in the cemetery at the present writing, which indicates that the mortality has not been anything like as great as it has been reported as being. It may generally be stated that to those who take proper care of themselves Leadville is as healthy a place as there is in the United States. WHERE AND HOW TO “PUT UP” IN LEADVILLE. At the present writing the leading “hotel” in Leadville is the Tontine, which is only a saloon and restaurant, furnishing rooms outside. Its rates are four dollars per day. Its table mainly keeps up (its reputation. The next best hotel is The Grand,” which has no office room, and sets a fair table only ; but which is decidedly the best accommodated as to rooms of any establishment in the city, having recently put on a new addition. Its rates are three dollars per day. Both these hotels are on Chestnut street, nearly opposite each other. Farther up the same “treet is the International, a two- dollar house. There are two fair restaurants besides the Tontine — «The Capital,” on State street, and “The Little Parlor,” on Harrison avenue. Then follow a horde of eating-houses and lodging-houses, from tolerable to the lowest and worst. At Denver, gentlemen going to Leadville are generally recommended to secure rooms, if possible, at Izzard’s, an exceedingly pleasant lodging-house on Main street, just south of Harrison. These are the most home- 16 HISTORY OF LEADVILLE. like rooms in the city. Single beds there are five dollars per week. : But there has just been commenced, and will be pushed forward, to rapid completion, on Harrison avenue, “The Clarendon,” a large and elegant three-story hotel, which will, of course, take its position as the leading hotel in the city when completed, as it will be some time in April. This hotel will have all the modern conveniences of a first-class hostelrie. To the completion of this hotel the general public now look with the greatest interest, for until that event there ~ will continue to be no public gathering-place for gentlemen of busi- ness, and no place where the traveler can feel free, easy, and thor- oughly comfortable. But most probably «The Clarendon” will be crowded, just as the existing hotels are; so it is well tc suggest a relief. Every lodging-house is, and will continue to be for a long time to come, crowded to repletion. The only independent way left is for a rum- ber of parties to club together and purchase a cheap lot some dis- tance from the center of the city, which can be obtained all the way from fifty to two hundred and fifty dollars, and put on it a log cabin, costing from fifty to one hundred dollars, and “bach” it. De- pending upon restaurants, you sometimes have to wait half to three- quarters of an hour before you can obtain a seat; you are lucky if you get inte hotels at all; while if you have your own cabin, you live more independently, PP less expensively, and certainly not much less comfortably, than in any other way. The cabin.and lot can always be disposed of at more than their original cost, and this kind of a convenience may prove a decided profit. A COMPETITOR FOR THE STATE CAPITAL. In 1880 the people of Colorado are to vote on the question of the permanent location of the State Capital, Denver being the tem- porary Capital only. It is the intention of the citizens of Leadville in good earnest to make a fight for the site. They claim to be geo- graphically, politically and commercially, the center of the state. They hope that in the fight between Denver and other towns, the anti-Denver interests may be concentrated upon Leadville. Nor are they so wild in their calculations. With forty thousand people on the first of January, 1880, the Carbonate metropolis may well cause her demand to be recognized as the chief city of the state, as she will then lead even Denver in population. We consider Lead- ville’s chance for the Capital at least No. 1. *OUR"™ BOARDING HOUSE. “PACIFIC HOTEL" OF THE WEST. THE CLASS OF PEOPLE IN LEADVILLE. THE TRADES AND PROFESSIONS. There are in Leadville in the neighborhood of thirty lawyers, and just about as many doctors. These two. professions certainly appear to be overcrowded in the city. With these exceptions, there is no trade or profession whose followers need hesitate to go to Leadville for fear of not finding employment in the pursuit of their occupation. Carpenters are perhaps most in demand of any kind of mechanics. There is no trade that is overdone in the city. Let no man who is an artisan of any ordinary kind imagine that he will fail to find employment in Leadville. THE CLASS OF PEOPLE IN LEADVILLE. There is a good degree of public spirit manifested by the people of the city, which indicates that they are alive to the best interests of the community. The substantial citizens are a moral and intel- ligent class that will favorably compare with any like number of people in the United States. There are, it is true, a good many gamblers in the city, but no more than might be expected from the vast number of miners, who never will keep their money any way, and who may as well gamble it away as to spend it in whisky and women. But outside of these elements there is a substantial, well- organized society, refined and intelligent, in Leadville, and no man need hesitate in bringing with him his wife or daughter, for he will find civilization is by no manner of means forgotten in this camp 80 near the timber-line. ; GAS WORKS. Two companies have been incorporated for supplying the city of Leadville with gas. Both of these organizations are composed of citizens of undoubted responsibility; so there need be no apprehen- sion but that Leadville, within a very few months, will have this most essential feature of metropolitan life. LEADVILLE WATER SUPPLY. At the present writing Leadville is supplied with water for drinking and culinary purposes from three different sources,— first, from wells; second, from the water of California Gulch; third, from the Arkansas river. The latter is the purest and the best. It is furnished in water-carts, at so much per barrel or buckets. But a thoroughly organized company, with unlimited capital, has in progress, with prospect of early completion, a system of water-works fully adequate to meet any possible demands of Lead- 18 HISTORY OF LEADVILLE. ville’s population for years to come. It comprises a reservoir upon one of the hills immediately overlooking the city, into which water is to be pumped from the Arkansas river, as pure and sweet-tasting water as can be found on the face of the earth. Ditches for the mains through the principal streets are dug, and the pipes have been in process of delivery since the 1st of February. By the 1st. of May the citizens will have the water in their houses. SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES. Leadville has in operation a well-attended public school, which: will soon have to be duplicated. She has no select school, and one would do well. There are now two churches completed, the Catholic and Meth- odist. Both are overcrowded, and both contemplate enlarging. There are in process of construction a Presbyterian and an Episco- palian church, both of which will be elegant structures. A Baptist. church will soon follow. : COAL. A vein of genuine lignite coal was recently struck by some par- ties prospecting for silver in South Evans Gulch. It has not yet. been fully developed ; but in case the hopes of the more enthusiastic. of Leadville’s scientific men shall be realized, the discovery will demonstrate the existence of a very large deposit of this valuable material, which has been hitherto thought to be impossible in the entire region. Its value to Leadville would be incalculable, in view of the immensity of her smelting, sampling, refining and manu- facturing interests. LUMBER. The timber upon the mountain sides and in the gulches around Leadville is all pine, and most of it works well into lumber. Not- withstanding this fact, the business community is sorely troubled .by a lack of lumber to build with. Three saw and shingle mills, running night and day, are inadequate to supply the demand, and business enterprises are lagging on this account. Capital seeking investment in Leadville can find nothing that will pay better than erecting a sawmill. DETACHED FACTS OF INTEREST. It is said by experienced mining authorities that in no mining ‘district in the world except Leadville have mines in the aggregate paid before a year’s work had been expended upon them. In this 2 THE PROGRESS OF LEADVILLE. : 19 district, on the contrary, they have paid, as a rule, almost from the start. ’ - he average cost of taking out ore from the mines of the Fryer Hill group of mines is stated to be only six per cent of the value of "the ore extracted. The Camp Bird mine has between six and seven thousand tons of ore piled up in its drifts, preferring to hold it thus rather than ship it for milling at present prices. - The introduction of steam instead of horse power (now exclu- sively employed) in the hoisting of mineral from the mines will introduce a new era in mining operations around Leadville. Some half a dozen of the largest and finest of engines will arrive here and be in operation by the middle of April. The owners of the Little Chief place its capacity for putting out ore, when its present system of operations are perfected, and all its machinery is in place, which will be early in the spring, at four hundred tons per day. A gentleman who has been around among the mines a good deal has taken pains to make an estimate of the amount of low-grade ore dumped about the different shafts, which, under’ the present. limited capacities of the smelters, it has been considered unprofit- able to mill, and he makes the amount equal in value to one million dollars. | THE PROGRESS OF LEADVILLE. The growth of the city continues to jump forward from day to day with a rapidity utterly unparalleled. The finest street in the city— Harrison avenue —is a forest of fresh studding. Carpenters enough cannot be hired to keep the work going. Men arrive in the evening, buy real estate, perhaps, the next morning, and before the . second evening have business structures under contract. Such is business and such is life in Leadville, in all its features, material and moral, entitled to be called the miracle of the conti- nent.

THRE SHORT LINE TO LEADVILLE IS VIA THE Kansas Pacific Railway The DENVER, SOUTH PARK & PACIFIC R.R. is completed to Web- ster, 70 miles west of Denver, and is being pushed TO LEADVILLE. A line of daily stages is run, four coaches being required each day at present, and others to be added as the wants demand, between the end of the D., S. P. & P. track and LEADVILLE, passing through FATRPLAY, with only 28 miles of staging to Fairplay and 65 miles of staging to Lead- ville, which, with the opening of the new state road through Mosquito Pass, will shorten the staging to 42 miles, making by this route 75 MILES LESS STAGING NOW, and when the New Road is opened, 98 Miles LESS Staging than by any other Route. The development of the vast mineral resources of LEADVILLE and vicinity is so unprecedentedly rich and abundant, that it is attracting the attention of an immense number of people, it being estimated that there are upward of 8,000 people already collected at this mining camp. and as there will be large numbers going to that favored region from various sec-. tions of the country, the attention of all is Dither called TO THE. onus QUICKEST, CHEAPEST and VERY BEST LINE to LEAD- , Viz: ; The Kansas Pacific R.W., Denver, South Park & Pacific R.R., and Denver & South Park Stage Co It is conceded by all old miners who have visited Leadville and vicinity, that such rich dis-. coveries have never before been made, and that this mining camp, in numbers of people and developments, surpasses any ever before opened, and the rich discoveries extend over a radius of many miles about Leadville and Rairniay. Denver being the great commercial center and distributing point of Colorado, and nearer to Fauplny and Leadville than any other city, it is by far the most preferable route by which to reach these points, and the KANSAS PACIFIC RAILWAY BEING 114 MILES THE SHORTEST LINE from Kansas City to Denver, and the only line running through cars (ITS ENTIRE TRAINS IN FACT) from Kansas City to Denver without change, is of course many hours the quickest, and is therefore the cheapest and best route. The D., S. P. & P. R. R. is one of the finest mountain roads ever built, its course up Platte Cafion abounding in the most interesting and varied scenery ever witnessed, and the D. & S. P. S. Co’s superb line of large, new Concord coaches, run by Spottswood & McClellan, passes through the South Park and over magnificent mountain ranges. A trip to Leadville will repay any person, whether interested in mining or not, as it is a sight well worth the expense of the trip to witness, and thousands will go there within a short period. The passenger and freight rates’to FAIRPLA and LEADVILLE will always be as low via KANSAS PACIFIC RAILWAY as by any other route, and as fast as the D., 8. P.& P. R. R. is finished westward and the staging lessened, rates will be reduced, and notice given, and the lowest rates can always be obtained by applying to any TICKET AGENT in the United States or Canada.
