Pueblo, Colorado, Jan. q, 'S3.
Colorado is a STATE of surprises. A
resident of the Eastern Shore uncon-
sciously transported here, would be in a
chronic state of wonderluent at the chang
ed conditions of existence. There the
world moves in slow and easy stages :;
here everything is on the gallop there
it is matter of remark if the sun shines
one day i'll week here you are bathed
in a perpetual sea of sunshine through
out ten months of the year, there the
majority of the people ale welded to
conservatism, seeking nothing better
than chat which comes within easy reach
while the people of Colorado seek to at
tain the best of everything, and their
ambitions and aims are as high as these
frowning peaks which cast their shadows
at their feet.

Minutes of yesterdays proceedings read

Mr.. Bellinghausen, from the Court
House and Jail Building Committee, sub.
mittod the following report, which on mo.
ton was adopted;
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen Of tie
B0ard of Superrisors:-Your committee 10
build court house and Jail beg leave to
report that they had looked forward to the
present session of the Board as the time
when they could make final report OF
their dongs, with view OF being relieved
of their duties AS members of the Building
Committee. Owing, however, to the i'm
possibility Of making settlement with
the contractors for the steam heating appa
ratus, until proper test OF the boilers and
the entire system Of heating has been made
and 20 the tact that the contractors for the
vaut.6ttings and furniture have been very
backward In completing their work, your
committee cannot mako an application foI
fina! discharge, pending the making Of the
settlements with the various parties as
stated.
Your committee would state that the fur
niture and vault fittings arc nearly all ia
place and that nothing will need the atten
ton of the committee to any extent, excep,
possibly the steam heating apparatus; and
if the Board, through its committees, could
attend to the transaction of the unfinished
business of the committee, your committee
would desire to be entirely relieved at the
present time.
Your committee would report that they
have made full and satisfactory settle
ment with the contractors for the court
house and In connection with this report
can give the itcmized cost Of the building,
as well as an account of all the moneys
expended to date.
In regard to the steam heating apparatus
we would report that IL was intended TO
build brick chimney OF a size much larger
than the one built in connection with the
boiler house, but your committee, when
the bids were received. found that the cost
would be in the neighbOrhoOd of five
thousand dollars, much larger amount
than the committee felt justified IN expend.
ing for the purpose. inasmuch as it cannot
be known at present what the outcome of
the test of the boilers and apparatus may
be, and any changes in the future might
make change IN the location of the
chimney desirable. Your committee there.
tore contracted for an iron smoke stack at
cost OF 1878, which will answer the pur-
pose of making the test of the boilers now
in use, and will answer for any boilers at
least for several years to come.
Also, your committee would report that
in pursuance OF instructions received from
the Board at the last March term, they
have directed some Improvements at the
county Jail, including the erection of q
building to be used tor laundry and
water closet at cost Of 1866, and which
building is now being erected by Messrs.
Weis Il Wolf.
The following Is an account of the
amounts expended by the committee in
connection with the building of the court
house and jail, viz:
