| ginning to appreciate the vastness Of our
territory and the wonderful variety Of its
resources. The sudden development OF q
great mineral field in Colorado, Montana,
md other tracts OF the great West Is doing
more TO make the people OF the United
States acquainted with their own country
than any other cause, and will no doubt
| prove Of far greater benefit to the United
States by the drawing Of permanent set
tiers TO the inhabitable part Of these
regions han by the additions 1t will make
to our mineral wealth.
The Times" says that hardly any west
ern State, unless it is Oregon, has improved
, more during the last year than Colorado,
and the improvement is shown in the
revival Of trade and the general growth OF
the city Of Denver. As many as a thou
| sand new buildings are going up there.
