Pike's Peak, which may be taken as the geographical point, is about 25 miles south of the 39th parallel of latitude, and on a direct line about 570 miles south-west of Kansas City. It is about 50 miles east of Oochetopa Pass, and about 24 miles south. The Arkansas takes its rise on the south side of the range in which the Peak is situated, and the South Platte on the north side. Mr. John Cantrell, the Lawrence, Georgia and Missouri Companies have prospected the I Sout Platte streams, principally Cherry and Long Creeks, which are from 40 to 50 miles | from the Peak, almost in a westerly course, Mr. King and the Cherokee Company have, in addition, pretty thoroughly explored theJoseph Spaulding.

The two rivers head together, but the Arkansas penetrates the mountain range to a much greater distance than the other. The country prospected embraces about 70 miles north and south, and following tbe streams greater or less distances. From ttie South Platt we have yet seen only “float gold,” but from the Arkansas we have both the scales and the nuggets, as well as the gold in the quartz. The specimens which have reached Kansas City are greatly superior in richness to the first discoveries in California, and leave no doubt as to the capabilities of the mines when properly worked.The country in the vicinity of Pike’s Peak is well suited to the growth of sm 11 grain ; is as well waterel as the mountain district f Pennsylvania and Virginia, and is in the1. pair Hordes all work 4 year* aid : 1. single Car- same latitude with Baltimore, Cincinnati . riage Mare 7 years old. nnd alie- iriageSimon Rubiee, Beloit, 1 Blooded Stallion(gorrell I I Princeton” 5years old: 1 do do (bay) “Buckshot” ek, 5 years old; 1 Durham Bull “Prince” 3 year* old; 1 South Down Buck 2 years old; 1 pen of 3 South Down Lambs; 1 Suffolk Boar 1 year old ; 1 do Sow 2 years old; 2 do Boar Pigs, 3 month old: 1 lot Game Chickens.ipa)ng:riy*•att,Mr.MrMrFin- |and St. Loui*. But owing to its elevation, snows fall early in the Fall and late in the Spring. Trappers and traders, however.oldwho are familiar with the country, speak of it as much more mild than the con; try at the South Pass.
