DENVER, March 81 have the honor
of submitting the promised letter ON i'm
portant topics concerning Colcrado's
chief industry. The importance Of these
topics and the variety of theoretical and
practical views entertained concerning
them, furnish matter for discussion SUI
ficient to fill book of very large pro-
portions. As this article must be con-
fined withia ordinary newspaper limits,
some assertions made must, of necessity,
be left unsupported by the logical and
volumnious reasoning that their impOr-
tance demands Each subject named for
consideration is in itself an ample theme
for public press essay.
In order that the prOspector. who is
the vanguard of the army of mineral de-
velopment and Colorado civilization, aud
that those not familiar with geological
terms may read Understandings, an en-
deavOr has been made to prune the text
from scientific tcchnicalities, which are
easy to- use but difficult to substitute
with Anglo Saxon.
