The mining town of Tell-<lb />uride is located at the head of a pictur-<lb />esque guich. The mountains rise in<lb />majesty to cloud-piercing heightsabout<lb />the town, and from every propitious<lb />diaw between the giant peaks, foam-<lb />ing caseades, waterfalls and roaring<lb />streams come down from the snow-<lb />laden summits to swell the torrent of<lb />the San Miguel, which rushes through<lb />the town. Four miles above Telluride<lb />is Marshall basin, situated among the<lb />snowy peaks and far above timber line,<lb />and in this basin is the little mining set-<lb />tlhement of Smuggler, where the em-<lb />ployes of the great Smugeler-Union and |<lb />oTom Boy mines make their homes.<lb />Although the inhabitants have a post<lb />cftice of their own, the postal author-<lb />ities do not guarantee a regular serv-<lb />ice, because of the diffieulty of keeping<lb />atrailopen in the winter time. The dan-<lb /><lb />MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.<lb /><lb />"On stoves and furnaces 18,340 pat-<lb />ents have been issued covering every<lb />part of these indispensable articles of<lb />comfort.<lb /><lb />"Five generations of one family are<lb />living on a homestead at Bardstown,<lb />Ga. The head of the family, W. 0.<lb />Cherry, has 136 living descendants.<lb /><lb />"After the cocoons intended for the<lb />silk manufacture have been finished<lb />the worms are killed by the heat either<lb />of steam or of hot water. Ifthe insects<lb />were allowed to esape the value of the<lb />cocoons would be lessened.<lb /><lb />"For several years an old soldier<lb />has been compelled, by poverty, to live<lb />in the poorhouse of Carroll county, Mo<lb />He has just received a pension, and has<lb />decided to remain in the poorhouse and<lb />pay his board, because he likes his<lb />home there so well.<lb /><lb />"IndianaTs oldest residents are Alex-<lb /><lb />ander Ferguson and his sister of<lb />of Frankton, Alexander is 103 years<lb />old and his sister 107, Alexander<lb />worked on, the farm every day. doing<lb />the ordinary chores of the place until<lb />he had passed his 100th birthday, and<lb />is still in excellent health. He takes a<lb />daily walk of a little more than two<lb />miles. His wife is over 90 and is in good<lb />health.<lb /><lb />"The army rules are that two-inch<lb />ice will sustain a man or properly-<lb />spaced infantry; four-inch ice will<lb />carry a man on horseback or cavalry<lb /><lb />eerous snowslides constantly threaten<lb /><lb />or light guns; six-inch ice, heavy field<lb /><lb />destruction to the hardy miners who} guns, such as 80 pounders eight-inch<lb />scramble through the snows up the | ice, a battery of artillery with car-<lb /><lb />sieep trails to the settlements in Mar-|<lb />shall basin. Untilinrecent years all sup-<lb />plies for the camp in Marshall basia<lb />were transported thither by pack ani-<lb />mals. Timber for the miners, coal for<lb />the boilers, and iron rails were dragged<lb />over the trails or packed securely about<lb />swaying pack saddles and carried to an<lb />elevationT of 12,000 feet by the burro.<lb />When winter closed down and the burro<lb />trains could not longer be driven on<lb />schedule time the miners would take<lb />turnsT in going down on: snowshoes<lb />to get the mails and a few necessary<lb />supplies that could be carried upon<lb />their backs.<lb /><lb />But the practical application of the<lb />endless chain by the inventor of the<lb /><lb />Huson tram has greatly facilitated the,<lb /><lb />transportation of supplies from Tellu-<lb />ride up to Marshall basin. Great iron<lb />buckets, each carrying down the moun-<lb />tain a half ton of ore, furnisp by their<lb />weight the active power which drives<lb />the endless chain from which they are<lb />suspended. In these buckets, upon<lb />their return, the necessary supplies for<lb />the camp are placed. One of the buckets<lb />is painted a bright red color, and the<lb />letters oU.S. Mail,� im biack, désig-<lb />nate the use to which itis put, The<lb />daily mail for Smuggler post office is<lb />now delivered as regularly across the<lb />four miles of precipice, snow-buried<lb />guiches, and giant mountain rugged-<lb />ness with as much-safety as between<lb />two settlements in the prairies of west-<lb />ern Kansas or Nebraska.<lb /><lb />Just over the ridge of peaks from<lb />Marshall ~basin is the post office of<lb />Mount Sneffels near the famous Virgin-<lb />ius mines, seven miles above Ouray, a<lb />mining town which is as picturesquely<lb />located as Telluride. A good wagon<lb />trail leads from Ouray up the mountain<lb /><lb />~ side to Virginiius mine, but in the win-<lb /><lb />ter time the trail-fills with snow, an oc-<lb />casional slide destroys the continuity<lb />of the route so that sledding cannot. be<lb />done, and the mails are carried by men<lb />with snowshoes. There are a number<lb />of snowshoe routes in the mountains<lb />of Colorado, but none more hazardous<lb />than this one. The men who carry the<lb />mails over snowshoe routes seldom<lb />meet with accident. They have learned<lb />to understand the peculiarity of snow-<lb />slides, and when a high wind is blow-<lb />ing or other meteorological conditions<lb />tonke traveling along the trails danger-<lb />ous, they postpone their trips until set-<lb />tled weather returns. Sometimes the<lb />mails are two weeks in arrears when<lb />the mail carriers dare to venture forth.<lb /><lb />A free delivery system is in vogue in<lb />the mining districts, though the postal<lb />~Authorities have nothing to do with it.<lb />From every mountain post office trails<lb />diverge up every draw and gulch. A<lb />miner setting out for his cabin, perched<lb />somewhere far up on a mountain, will<lb />take with him all the mail belonging to<lb />his neighbors, though they may live<lb />miles from his place. At each turning-<lb />off poiut a small box will ~be found<lb />nailed securely to the trunk of a stou:z<lb />old pine tree, and upon this box is<lb />scrawled the names of all miners who<lb /><lb />| niust pass that tree in going te their re-<lb /><lb />| spective cabins,<lb />o1 man from town deposits all the mail<lb />| belonging to miners living up that<lb /><lb />Into this box the last<lb /><lb />particular gulch. From that gulch a<lb />miner will oceasionally descend for the<lb />mail, and as he returns up his trail he<lb />deposits in turn the several pieces<lb />of mait in other boxes placed at con-<lb />venient points. In this manner one<lb />man ean save many a weary step to<lb />other miners who live out the long win-<lb />ters jn. the very, heart of the Rocky<lb />mountains, | Mails are collected inT ht |<lb /><lb />similar, manner, and often small er- |<lb />runds are likewiseT done, Money is 2d<lb /><lb />posifed in mail oboxes for the putt<lb /><lb />light ih weiyht.-is always properly re-<lb />spected, and the mission fulfilled, no<lb />matter how much the i smote Pte<lb /><lb />na ara<lb /><lb />few; ) F oa<lb /><lb />gti<lb />Cy<lb /><lb />-go, and other setts :<lb /><lb />Fix 1<lb /><lb />'riages and horses, but not over 1,000<lb />pounds per square foot on sledges; and<lb />ten inch ice sustains an army or an in-<lb />numerable multitude.
