LEADVILLE
As It Is—From the Pen of An
Eye-Witness.
The Theatres, Churches mid Lodging
Houses.
Who dare undertake a description of
this newest and strangest of mining camps?
The attempt has been made heretofore, it
is true, hut not with the most satisfactory
results. Besides. Leadville is constantly
changing. It is a kaleidoscope in the
suddenness of its transformation, though
its colors are of the simplest kind, and of
the most sombre, too. Entire streets open
up, are built upon and settled in a week.
Stores, houses, log cabins and hotels
spring up side by side. There is an opera
house; constructed out of rough pine
boards, looking for all the world like an
unfinished livery stable, which has been
opened this week by the Forrester Com-
pany. anil where there is a dress circle
and a gallery. There is also a Theatre
Go clique, where the illegitimate drama
flourishes, to the delight of the sturdy
miners. Religion is not furnished to this
iiack-mountain population in chunks, but
here is a church and a school-house.
Considering that there are 10.0. 0 adults in
die camp, it is not surprising that the
congregation often swells up to as many
as forty or fifty hearers.
The hotels are constantly filled, and
new arrivals are compelled to seek shelter
in lodging houses, of which there are a
rreat number. I he one in which our
party remained on the first nights of their
irrival in Leadville may he taken as a fail
sample. It was a one-story log cabin, with
a rear addition constructed of green pirn
hoards. Rude bunks were placed around
1 e two hack rooms in tiers as in a sleep
ing-ear. The bunks had each a set of
woolen blankets. The lloors were hare,
for this accommodation the travelers
were charged half a dollar each. At the
more pretentious lodging houses, where
two people are assigned to a room with a
bed in it, the price is double.
But. alter all, these details afford the
reader little idea of Leadville as it is. Let
i lie worthy person who is sufficiently in-
terested in this subject to peruse these
lines imagine himself penned up in the
w ildest fastnesses of the Rocky mountains
.■it an altitude ot 10,000 feet above the sea.
He is literally on the mountain tops ; yet
tar above Leadville on every hand rise the
bald crowns of the snowy range—desolate,
bleak, and absolutely without vegetation
of any kind. Here in the gulches are for-
ests ot pine and evergreen, which extend
far up the sides of the adjacent peaks.
But the timber line is as strongly marked
and as clearly cut on every side as if hu-
man hands had been at work clearing
every trace of tree or shrub along the line
ot a survey, and as if the same hands had
planed off the mountain summit to the
smoothness and barrenness of a country
school-yard.
To the stranger coming from the luxu-
uries and comforts of civilization, Lead-
ville presents an aspect ot unutterable de
olaiion Valley and mountain are alike
covered with snow. Through the spec-
tral pine trees the storm-wind rushes in
the day-time and m the night-time, and
often one hears the hys’erical shriek of a
wild gust that has come swooping dow.i
from the mountain tops through gorge
and chasm in an agony of rage and de-
spair.
The village stands in a pine clearing,
and all about are fivshly-cut stumps and
logs, some split into rude hoards, and
others chopped off at the ends prepara-
tory to being lifted into the walls o! a pro-
jected cat>in'. Through the trees, %\vhich
still remain in large numbers undisturbed,
one catches glimpses of unpainted frame
structures and cabins built here and there
irregularly, according to the fancy of the
original squatter. It. is true tint some
order is being evoked from t he architt ctu-
ral chaos. Streets are being laid out and
lots surveyed. But there is not a rod ot
fence in the town, and often the pedestrian
is at a loss to tell whether he is walking
on the public highway or through a citi-
zen’s back yard. These defects in the con-
struction of the town, however, are being
rapidly remedied, and that, too. by the
surest natural agency—speculation.
Prices of real estate are laughably liisri)
0;i the main street §250 a front foot i
an average valuation, and owners are at:
tually afraid to sell at that figure, for fear
they may not make as much as they may
a few months hence by holding on to their
property. The editors of the Daily Chron-
icle bought a lot for their office two
months ago for $175, and last week re-
fused $4,000 for it. On Harrison avenue,
running at right angles with the main
street, residence lots are held at from $500
to $2,000. Leadville was originally occu-
pied by squatters, and for a long time
they were allowed to live unmolested.
But alter the value of the silver mines
was demonstrated and people began Hock-
ing into the village, space began to be
marketable.
It has been said of Leadville that its
main street is busier and shows more life
and Activity than any street of any city in
the state of Colorado. This is very near
the truth. All day and all night the
broken sidewalks resound with the tread
of feet. During the day blockades often
occur in the street which would do credit
to Broadway, and, as for the sidewalks,
they are continually crowded. At night
the saloons and gambling houses are bril-
liantly lighted and thronged with the
roughest class of miners, who come from
their cabins up the gulches to enjoy them-
selves according to the most approved
methods among mining communities.
The lights and the shadows of mining life
are strangely mingled, and form an inter-
esting though not always commendable

VUjltiU pw
A Democrat reporter went down to the
county jail yesterday afternoon, and had
achat with Charlie Hearn, who assaulted
Officer Woody several months ago with a
knife and inflicted some very dangerous
wounds. We were admitted into the
auditorium of the jail,or otherwise known
by the boys as the“kangaroo court room,”
where every new boarder is given a fair
and impartial trial and fined in accordance
to the crime committed. If the unfortu-
nate is financially bankrupt and unable to
“anti,” he is subjected to so many licks
(left to the discretion of the court) from
a “cat o’ nine tails,” that the hoys have
artistically put together by braiding
several strands of rags. A poor devil
trom Arlington, who had publicly insulted
some ladies on the sireets’of that suburban
town, was the latest thing in; and at the
mercy of this Kangaroo court when the
scribe entered. Ilis fine was assess-
ed at one and six hits, which lie
fortunately had and turned over to
the treasurer. The , court requested
of the scribe that he forewarn all who an-
ticipated ending up in the county jail and
being left to the mercy of the kangaroo
court, to come well “ heeled ” or prepare
padded pants for the whipping. Charlie
Hearn was found in his cell engaged in
the perusal of what tlie reporter thought
was a novel, hut proved to be a beauti-
fully hound morocco Bible Rosa McDon-
ald had given him. Rose is the young
girl who was with him at the time of his
assault on Wood}', who, Charlie says, is
the only friend that’s left him now. Daily
can she he seen with a Qauker-like sun-
bonnet hiding her face from the eyes of
the world, wending her way to the jail
vvilli a basket of dainties for Charlie.
Then what was love made for, if its not
all the same through joy. through tor-
ment, through glory and shame. Un-
shrinking, undying, his steps to pursue,
she’s going to shield him and save him, or
perish there too. Charlie laid down his
Bible, as the reporter came up. arose and
cordially shook him by the hand. He has
changed hut very little since his incarcera-
tion, perhaps a little fleshier, “showing his
good keeping” as he expressed it. His
usually gay and careless remarks are few
and far between, and while he tries to he
pleasant, one can readily see it is forced
and unnatural.
Upon invitation, the reporter brushed
off liis pants and took a seat on the cell
floor. “Well, Charlie,” said the scribe,
“the object of my business, is to find out
whether or not you \\ ill lie able to give
the necessary bond now, since Judge Ald-
ridge has reduced it to $1000.”
“Well, I can’t state exactly; mv friends
here seem to have given me the go-by,
since my late trouble, and 1 shan't ask
any assistance from them. I have written
to my mother in Georgia, to come on
immediately and am expecting her here
next week. When she sees my circum-
stance, I think site will go my bond, as
she is abundantly able.”
“What do you intend doing, in case you
get out?”
“Well, in the first place, i shall make
amends tor the wrong I have done tin
young girl, Rosa McDonald.” 'fears came
into his eyes and his voice quivered as he
continued. “~4ie has been done a great
wrong, and l have been the cause. {She is
hearing the burdens and troubles I had
ought to bear; it was all my fault. And
when those men got upon the stand and
swore that she was a proslitute, it was a
base falsehood, and I know in the sight of
God she is as pure and unstained as the
driven snow. It was I who did wrong,
and had ought to receive the punishment,
not she. There is a story connected with
our acquaintance, that I can’t disclose
now, but will just as soon as I am free.”
“When did you first meet her?”
“Well, I have known the family for a
long time. They moved in here from
Brown wood, Brown county. Her father
died soon after and left me to look after
both liis wife and child. Well, I wasn’t
worthy liis confidence, that’s all. You
musn’t ask me any more, I will tell you
ail, some day.” lie broke down here,
and tears one alter the other coursed them-
selves down his pale cheeks, bleached
from his long confinement.
The reporter seeing how this subject
affected him, switched oft’ and asked him
how he managed to wile away the many
tedious hours.
“Well, I read this a great deal of the
time.” Here lie produced the Morocco
bound Bible. “We play cards, that is
what caused the trouble between AI
H on ter and myself. He got mad because
r was beating him, and without provoca-
tion, struck me in the face which, I oi
course, resented. But, as I was saying,
we play cards, have a daily session of the
court, which occupies an hour or two, and
then we each have our day for house
cleaning and making up the beds. We
appoint a committee of two to go around
and inspect the work after the chamber
maid is through, and if they report favor-
ably, all right, it not, why we give the
gentleman as many lashes as the court
deem proper. We are locked up in our
several cells at 4 o’clock p.m., and there
we remain until the next morning abont
nine. I have for my bed fellows three
horse thieves ; A1 Ho liter also occupied
the same bed until he was released on
bail.”
At this juncture our conversation was
cut short, by Jailor Elliott hollowing
“time’s up,” interpreted meant scribe skip,
which the scribe did with a hearty good
bye from the boys and a cordial invitation
to call again.
—Josepn H. Brown lms just received in
stock, three car-loads fresh potatoes, of
every variety and in splendid order, which
he will sell at the lowest possible prices to
the jobbing trade.
While visitors to our Young Giant city
cannot fail to be impressed with the gen-
eral air of prosperity which pervades the
community, yet no one comes prepared
to witness such busy, hustling activity as
characterizes our commercial community.
And while new-comers from a distance
have a vague idea that we have an incor-
porated town sustained by the circum-
scribed trade ot a scattered population, yet
no one comes expecting to find here busi-
ness of any kind conducted on a scale of
'magnificent dimensions, rivaling the older
and larger cities’ of the East. Their in-
credulous wonder is provoked when they
are told that the business of Joseph II.
Brown lias assumed proportions fairly
equalling that of most of the largest
wholesale dealers in those cities that count
their population by the hundreds ot thou'
sands.
Many, even in our own midst, wonder
at the unrivalled success of this sterling
house. ’I’lie solution is easy and involves
no secret which we violate in ventilating
it. Mr. Brown makes it to the interest of
liis every patron to send him liis business.
Having in liis immense warehouse every
article of both staple and fancy goods io
he found in any wholesale grocery house,
lie is enabled to fill at once all orders in
his line. Buying his goods only from
first hands, from the packers and manu-
facturers, ad buying only In car-load lots,
lie is enabled to secure lower prices as
well as greatly lower rates of freight than
smtiUer dealers, thus allowing him to sell
goods from his stock at much lower prices
than his customer could buy them at
in tlie general markets and pay freight to
this point. Besides, selling only in a
wholesale way to meet the jobbing trade,
his necessarily large business justifies him
in being content with only a very email
per centum profit. These facts, known
and acknowledged, at home and abroad
among ottr wide tributaries, bring to this
house that steadily growing business,
which by its very growth, enables him
daily to increase the already unrivalled
inducements which he presents to the
trading public.
In another column we present a few of
the leading articles which Mr. Brown
offers to the trade and which, Deing staples,
fie is daily receiving from the hands of the
packers, manufacturers and importers.
Aldrich is Broke!
A painful rumor is afloat that Aldrich
is “busted.” We don’t vouch for its

We had the goed fortune yesterday,
through the courtesy of Messrs. Kneehmd
& Harrison, to make the acquaintance of
Mi. Brad Burner, the president of the
Longview and Sabine Valley Railway
Company. Tlie announcement of the ex-
istence of such a railroad in Texas will he
news to many ot our readers who con-
sider themselves tolerably well informed
in railroad matters of the state. But it
has not only a local habitation and a
name, hut in addition thereto, has twelve
miles of road constructed, in running or-
der and earning a net profit of trom one
to two thousand dollars a mile, all paid
for, and without a dollar of bonds or
other indebtedness, and all the result ol
one man’s exertions—that man its presi-
dent. Mr. Burner informs us that the
construction and equipment of the road
does not cost to exceed five thousand dol-
lars. That there are no fat contracts, and
no high salaries to pay. The road will
be pushed forward towards Sabine Pass
with all possible dispatch, and inasmuch
us it traverses not only the rich valley ot
the Sabine, hut also a country well tim-
bered with pine forests, it will lie one ol
the best paying roads in the country.
There is a moral in tiiis which the peo-
ple of Fort Worth will do well to con-
sider.
