22 BATH HOUSE AND POOL, GLENWOOD SPRINGS. A MOUNTAIN TRAIL, O the sensitive imagination there is something infinitely pathetic, as well as much that is strikingly picturesque, in the conditions that surround the life of the western miner. And the more one sees of it the more deeply is the pathos of the situ- ation impressed upon the observing mind. It was the peculiarly delicate but decided way in which Bret Harte perceived and por- trayed this pathos, so elusive to the coarser mold, that gave ...the assurance of poetical genius in the man and commended his early tales of California life to the inmost heart of the world. As stories merely, they were meagre and miserable little structures ; but illuminated by the tender genius of a naive and matchless poesy they disclosed to us the tear-stains on the cheek of the bawd under the paint and powder, and the lonesome, gentle, yearning heart of the old-time miner behind the blood-curdling bravado of his lips. It is in the great San Juan region of South-western Colorado that the conditions of mining still retain most strongly the picturesque character which the stories of Bret Harte have ambered in the sentiment of the world.
