THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS. — THE GREAT BASIN.
I MADE a flying visit, directly after reaching Denver, to the then new " Gregory Diggings," on Clear Creek, where is now Central City. A good road, I hear, now winds thither through the mountains, mainly keeping close to Clear Creek ; but that was impossible in 1859 ; as even an empty wagon would have been capsized into or toward the creek at least a hundred times before making the distance. Our route lay across the South Platte, the prairie and Clear Cre...ek (where Golden City has since sprung up), and then right up the face of the first ridge, rising 1,600 feet in a mile and a half, — an ascent so steep as to appear impossible to teams, however lightly loaded ; and even saddle-horses seemed in great peril of falling off and rolling to the bottom. After two miles of level path through an open pine forest on the summit, we had to descend a declivity nearly as steep ; then ascend a second mountain ; and so on, till we camped at sunset, weary enough, seven miles short of the diggings, which we reached abou.t nine next morning ; spending the day and night with the pioneers, and returning to the Platte Valley the day after.
