Chicago, IA review of the bushes:
of Chicago during the year just closed
shows it to have been of unprecedented
magnitude Manufacturing has increased
largely and trade has been brisk in al IL
branches, nearly every house having
more orders than it could fill promptly
Denver, 1.-DenYe: papers this morn
ing publish reviews of business, mining,
etc, in the state for the year 1879, the
most prosperous year of Colorady's hi
I tory. The showing is decidedly healthy.
The number of lures in Colorado, to-
gether with the amount of liabilities for
the half year ending December 31st, as
] compared with the same period of 1873,
shows a highly satisfactory result. In
1878, for the six months ending Deem
Der 3lst, we find the total number of
fixtures in the state was SO, with liabiIi-
ties of S2l5, 9l7, while for the same period
of last year the total number of failures
was twenty four, with liabilities of only
SI45, 500. During the psst six months
some 1900 new dealers have opened up
| different branches of trade in various
portions of The state, and the fact that the
| failures, not only In number bat In
amount of liabilities, have so very mate
rally decreased, show the state of Colo
RADIO to be in healthy financial cOndt-
| ton.
The business summary for Denver for
| $40 shows an increase III trade and man
ufactures of fully one-third over the pre-
ceding year. There have been no assign
ments in the city during the year, and the
compromises do not reach $4,000 |
Transactions in real estate have been |
something wonderful, the consideration
being 81, III, 900, and over 400 brick and |
stone buildings, estimated in value at |
81, 200, 900, have been erected, extending /
the proportions of the city in all direc-
tions. Many fine business blocks were
put up, and one hotel at cost of $780,
COG, besides others costing less, but still i
creditable buildings.
The cattle shipments from the state
number 10Y, 1924, the income to the state
being S2,5OO,00O The wool product was
100000 pounds; wheat, 1925, 900
bushels, and oats in proportion. The
garden production was large and some
fruit was raised during the year.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany extended its lines S25 miles.
Records show 231 births in Denver, snd
forty-four persons sentenced to the peni-
tentisry.
The greatest progress was in mines, the
production by csunties being as follows:
Lake. Sll,4II,O4Oi Gllpln, SZ,6US, U00i
Clear Creek, 81 9I2, 41O; Boulder, $780,
coo; Custer, $4,000, Park, S434,749
Gunnison, 100000: Summit, S295,7l7;
Chatfee, S7I,240: San Juan Country,
S46S, 800; total, S19,l1O,S62. In 1878 it
was S9.S20, 1872, showing an increase in
one year of IS, 1890, 1855. Lake County
shows the enormous increase of $685.
665.99; Clear Greek, and Park Counties,
are the only enes which do not show
al increase. While speaking of the
Leadville yield it may be stated that the
total ores treated by smelters for the year
1879 is ITO, 483 tons, realizing 0,504, LOG,
or value in puS silver and metallic
lead, of S95 per ton. 1t should be OBJ.
served that the gold product OF the Hsr-
rison Smelter, amounting TO S12, $40, has
not been included in the above table, but
but which being added in gives Us a total
product, from 10, 4S3 tons of ore q COM
mercial value of S1O,517,O46. The q, 349
tons of bullion has therefore an average
value per ton of S492. 6215.
New York, I'm this city, in 1879,
AGO failures were reported, with total liza
bilities of 16.360,033. In 1878 there
were 9l7 failures, with liabilities amount
ing TO S64, 1000, 600 in round numbers, with
