It seems she caused the arrest of one "Doc" Ford, a cheese-maker, for libelous statements in reference lo her character, and the young man was held to await the action of tlie grand jury. She has also commenced a civil suit against him for 83,000 damages, and things promise to fairiy hum. A half dozen other tale-bearers of 'Gonquin are expecting warrants served on them any day. and civil suits for 81,000 each, for damages done by their wag­ ging tongues to tlie character of the young lady.

LKTTKK FROM COtOMm HirooaT Gt'LCH, RostTA, Custer Co, May M. EDITOR PLAINDKALER--JPOAR Van- What do you think of hearing from me from out here in "God's country" as they call It. It jnst entered my mind, as I sat here this afternoon, all alone In onr cabin, that a letter from me might be of interest to you and tin- readers of the PLAIN DEALER. I also have made up my mind since I came here that ns I now have no use for that "umbrella" you can keep it, for rain is an exception in this part of the world, blankets and bufialo rotes being in greater demand. This camp Is loca­ ted 011 the range that lines the East side of Wet Mountain valley. The Sangre De Cristo Range forming the West side. We »re about 8 miles Southeast from the somewhat noted town of Silver Cliff, which is located hi the Valley. There aro a number of good mines here, and one the celebflt- ted "Bassick" is better than good.- She is from reports doing) as well as ever, and has been written up so many times that I wtll not take iftite to re­ write. 1 have f|sited nearly ^11 the mines of note here,and a great many of the promising prospects, and have got quite a number of facts about them. I will glye you a few of them beginning here in Hungry Uulch. where I now reside in magniflcant style. In a cabin built by ourselves, one room high. lon£ and wide, where we do our own cooking, eating, washing and steeping, the former and latter being the most conspicuous. Across the Gulch from where I write, in a southwest dinKstinn th3 Leviathan Mining Co.,superintend­ ed by Mr. Daniels, have just erected a due engine house over one of their shafts. They have a fine % liorae pow­ er engine and are now working qnite a foice of men, day and night shifts.-- The shaft is now about 86 feet deep, with a slight pitch towards the South. I am Informed that It Is their inten­ tion to go to a depth of 200 feet bf fore they begin to run a level and stope out the miueral. They are even now while sinking the shaft taking out a fltte grade of Pyrates of Copper which as­ says at present about 40 ounces. Their first assay was 4 ounces. Mr, Daniels think* that when they get to the 300 feet level they Will be getting out something very fine. They have had, no mill run made at their mineral as yet. This company I am Informed also have another good- mine, ,ou th* same lead, a short distance easi this shaft. w,h«r«i thfljr art an engine and will soon begin wiSST on her. The next nine of Importance iu this vicinity is the *'G. V. F^" owned by G. C. Vamey,of Chicago, and G. W Arnold, now of St. Louis. This mine is located on the top of a range of hills in a northeasterly direction from the *'Leviathau," is new 140 feet deep with two levels, on? at 40 feet and another at 100 feet, and wmfk has been begun on another it 75 feet.-- The miueral taken from her Is Grey Copper, rich In silver chlorides of Copper aud Bromides, all quite healthy so to speak. They have had a mill run of 150 ounces from her, and expect this season to increase it immensely on the new level now being tun. 1' am In­ formed that the gentlemen owning this fine piece of property have refased 8150.000 for her. Tlie other mines in this locality are the Leviathan, Chief­ tain, Invincible, Ben Franklin, Hum- bolt, and a number of others, all good mines, the particulars of which I will give you In a future letter. I saw the irrepressible Jack--Col. Jack Haverly--here the other day, and ain informed that lie bought the "In­ vincible" and will soon have a 40 horse power engine working at her. Also that be had bought tlio Reduction works that lie just North of the town of Rosita, and will put it in operation in workiugup the ore from the Invluc- ble. Teams are to-day hauling ore from tliat mine to the mill. This, if a fact, will be a good thing for this camp, as what it needs is a good mill to work the miueral, at a fair price, and I thiuk the Col. can do it if auy one can. The Quaker City Mining Co.. of Gal­ veston, Texas, superintended by as fine a spccimeu of a gentleman as ever lived, Capt. John Summers, has a num­ ber of most promising prospects in this camp. Their names are the In- vin/ible No 2.30 feet deep; Incidental 30 feet deep; Oriental, 14 feet deep; and Knight Templar, the last having a tunnel 81 feet into the mountain and are sinking two shafts, to cross cut the lead. 1 have examined each one of these prospects and am of the opinion that the company have some fine prop­ erty and a good man to look after their interests iu the Capt. The Capt is also personally interested In three other fine aud to all appearances rich prospects here, viz: Manhattan, 40 feet deep, ore from which a few days ago assayed 640 ounces. The Myrtle, 40 feet deep, assay of 10 oanoes at grass roots, have had nine since. The Hill­ side. 28 feet deep, assay*. 47 ounces at 20 feet. A party now here are figur­ ing to buy the Myrtle at 85000, tut the Capt |s in no htirrjr. I think tills will do for this letter, and before I leaye here for Breckeu- rldge and the San Juan, I will give you some particulars of the other mines here. The season ia jnst openlug here, and lots of new faces aro appearing In camp, all on the look out for good : v chances, and they are here on development.
