The Gunnison Country.
The Argus of yesterday
over the well-known signatuare, ‘‘ J. UH. F.”’—-in which the writer
called ‘* Gunnison country.”
of
has now it seems
for that so
by him, known as Having ex-
hausted his vocabulary in 5
Leadville,
adjectives praise of he
turned his attention to what he terms this
mysterious and partly explored region,
touching which he states :—
‘** At the present time no mining section in Colorado offers more flattering induce- ments for the profitable investment of Jabor and capital, than the boundless re- cesses of the Gunnison and _ its tributaries. The foot hills and the enoustaith ®, almost to timber line, are covered with a heavy mass of grass, capable of supporting countless herds of sheep and cattle. Streams of water, fed by mountain springs, are found in almost every gulch. Timber, both pine and tir, is of excellent quality, while the entire country seems to be underlaid with beds of coal, the extent ef which cannot as yet be estimated. In many places veins ef veal coal crop out on the State and Gun- nigon Rivers, and are often found from five to etylt fest in thickness. As soon as rail- road facilities are secured, Leadville, and other mining camps, will be supplied with coal from the Gunnison country, instead of
from Canon City and other Southern towns, as at present. And this item alone will be sufficient to induce a large immi-
gration,
In the same issue of that paper, a corres- pondent over the signature of “ N. P. Mc-
Neill” presents a very different picture to
the readers of the Argus in the following : e
ee —
‘*'There is not an acre of farming land in the country that 1 have seen since I have been here ; and I have bee over a good portion of it. I, like a great many more, vot the Guanison fever and went. There has been a great deal said in favor of the Gunnison country for being a farming country. Now, all I have got to say about that is, that he must have had green gog- gles on when he visited that country, ‘and have taken the recks for grass, for I was pretty much all through it, and I failed to see anny part of it that could in any pos- sible way be used for farming purposes. They say the grass grows threo feet long. { will not dispute it, but I think it must grow downward ; for [ am certain that it does not show above ground. And eyen if it was good for farming, the stuff raised would have to be consumed there, for there is no possible means of transpertation to market. And, in my opinion, there never
will be enough people in the Gunnisen County to consume what could be raised
ona ten-acre farm. All that Colorado is good for is its mineral deposits, and when that fails everything else fails.”
A Pleasant Hxcursion.
The steamer Heather Belle affords parties desirous of getting away from the excessive heat and blinding dust of the city, fora few hours, an opportunity of doing se, at a mere trifling cost. A trip on a fine even- ing, either to Mount Stewart, Orweil, ox Crapaud, particularly at this season of the year, when the face of the country appears at its best, is very pleasant indeed. The scene which presents itself to the view, from the deck of the Meather Belle while plying between Charlottetown and Orwell, on a fine summer evening, is really grand. Passing out of the harber beyond the Block house, the scenery on either hand is charming. On one side, here stretches out before the elevated hills of the South Shore and adjeining settlements, with St. Peters’s'Island in the distance ; while, on the other hand, the eye takes in the high hills and well cultivated fields of Lot 49, When the steamer approaches Governor’s Island, the picture upon which the specta- tor glances back is a magnificent one ; and to those for whose eyes the quiet scenery
of our Island has attractions, it conld not fail to be appreciated. Leoking ahead, as the beat passes Governor's Island, Point Prim comes prominently
into view. Away: te the right, the briny deep appears to come in contact with the sky, while far off in the distance the Nova Scotia hills may be seen on a clear evening, Steaming up Orwell Bay, the scenery en either hand is very beautiful. On the right are the high and steep red cliffs, which border the greater part of the shore from Belfast to Point Prim. The greater portion ef these high banks is cev ered with a dense forest. After | leaving Halliday’s
Whart, the fine settlement of Orwell Cove comes into View ; and on the left are to be
comfortable looking ‘dwellings of the suc- cessful farmers of Gallas Peint and China Point. The sail out this part of the coun- iry ona fine evening is simply delightful. Ve know of no other short trip that can be made on water that could tend more to strengthen the body and invigor- ate mind of our over-heated and dust-be- grimmed citizens. The management of
the boat is in excellent hands. Captain McLean, who has been in charge for
several years, knows his business. He is obliging to passengers, and attentive to his
other duties. —Aryus.
’s date in an article
is full of praise and popularly
there is a paragraph in connection with a charge of larceny preferred by me againat | Mr. John Bolger. The matter centained in said paragraph is in itself @ suilicient ex- honoration of Mr. Bolger from being at all implicated in the charge which I made against him, but lest even a suspicion: of donb t shou ld remain in the mind of any one as to the guilt of Mr. Bolger, I feel it my duty te state publicly that I have zince the investigation, recovered the money which ! lost t, and froma source altogether outside, and clear from Mr. Bolger; 1 therefore exhonerate Mr. Bolger from all complicity in the charge of larceny which I preferred against him, G.

At the Carrick-on-Suir, Ireland, athletic sports ou July 5th, P. Davin clegred in the running hi gh jump the unprecedented height of 6ft iin., beating the record by a quarter of an neh’ M. a Brooks, of (x- ford University, having gx cleared 6 ft. 23 in. on April 7th 1870. ;
A whaling captain, lately returned from the Arctic Seas, declares that a new breed of whales have made their appearance in those waters, They are supposed to have have emigrated from the open sea at the pole. The skipper describes them as very much larger than the old whales, and very gentle and confiding. In former years when a whale was harpooned, the rest of the herd threw up their finkes and made off. The new breed do not seem to mind in the least the capture of one of their namber,
Most of our readers have heard of the in- troduction of the Scotch thistle into Aus- tralia by sume patriotic Caledonian, and of the horrible injury which the rapid spread of that symbolic weed caused to the wide fields of the southern continent. It is claimed by some who ought te know the difference that the obnexious plant is wot the Scottish thistle at all, but the more pro- lific and mere formidable wild artichoke, It attains a height of from eight to twelve feet, and is alinost impossible to eradicate where once it has gained a footing. Another naturalized plague in Australia is that of rabbits, which from a small colony originally, has grown to the proportion of a vast army. It is said that one gentleman offered a pound an acre to any one who would clear a patch of 6,000 acres of this pest. The work was apparently accom- plished and the $6,000 paid over, but, alas! a few of the fruitful stock had escaped des- tructien, and before a year they were spreading as fast as ever.
In addition to the Chinese and the Ni- hilists, Russia has now to contend with another foe, by no means contemptible in its way. Upwards of 20,000 men are at present employed in various parts of the Caucasus, endeavoring to check the plague of locusts. In the Signach district such inmense numbers of insects have been des- treyed that the air is tainted, and instrue- tions have been given to bury the locusts for the future. At Arboshinoky, the archi- mandrite of the Nina Cathedral, on ebserv- ing the approach of a lecust cloud, rang the church bells, and placing himself at the head of the assembled populace, worked for twenty four hours in destroying the in-- sects, leaving, at the end of his exertions, nene alive in the district. At Dushetsky 5,000 persons are engaged killing eee at T laff 2,000, at Ksan, 3,000, and along the shores of the Caspian, near» Baku, 4,200, In many places the populace have been reinforced by troops. At Dushetskys the locusts, when collected in heaps, are sprinkled with naphtha, and then burned, Such a plague reminds one of the prophetic denunciations in the Bible.
No small alarm is manifested in England over the new policy of the French Govern- ment which is soon to be put in operation for the benefit of French ships. The Eng- lish correspondent of the New York Iron ige writes as follows upon tie subject: ‘*On Atlantic veyages this would amount to £2,000 or $3,090 a voyage, payable only to French-built and French-ownee vessels, This proposal falls like a thunder-clap upen British ship-builders and ship-owners, and yas alarmed other classes as well. The french have already completely rained our sugar-refining business, and it is argued that if the bounty system be carried to its fullest, serious damages may be wreught upon many of our industries.

Free Traders guash their teeth at these heresies, but these who are not sold, body to the Cobden theerias are said inot to be wholly surprised at what is now coming about. Whether the French authorities really intend to carry this idea
_to its full sequence is not known to nobody,
but it is suspected that the movement is inteuted as a checkmate to Mr. Gladstone’s proposals. Tho panic ameng our ship- builders would be considerable should the measure attain its maturity and bear fruit, seeing that not merely do we build a heavy tonnage for France but we also empley a large fleet of steamers in trading between French ports and the different parts of the world,”’
