THE DRAIN TRADE

4 But few of our own people have any idea
OF the grain handled in this city. But few
loads are seen on tho streets each day. and a
casual observer would suppose that there
was little doing in that line.
A reporter seeking information on the
subject yesterday, paid visit to the various
mills and elevators, where no gathered the
following:
At the city roller mills, he was informed
that the capacity of that mill when running
day and night, was $50 barrels Of flour in
the "a hours. This at AZ bushels per barrel
would consume 1916 bushels per day, but
they are now running on half time, there
fore they use 1871 day. The Diamond
mills and the Hydraulic mill combined, use
about the same quantity as the City mills. The
custom mill on the west side uses about l5O
bushels day. By this statement it will be
seen that the four mills nse up 1,725 bushels
per day.
Entering Todd's elevator Office the report
er enquired, '-how much grain do you
ndnole IN Jay
swell we average about 1900 bushels al
together. Fully one half of this comes by
rail from outside towns"
ais this all wheat.
40, no, that includes wheat, corn and
oats"
as this grain consumed here.
"No, only in part, we get some orders
from our local mills, but the most of it we
ship. The wheat goes for the most part to
Toledo Ohio, the corn to St Louis and the
oats SOUTH"
The old Zepher mills was next visited.
Hawn, Glaze g. Cburchward are the pro-
prietors and they were found in the office.
"What are you doing here!" the reporter
asked"
30, we are busy all the time"
"You grind good deal of corn and oats,
l believe?"
swell, yes; Blu. we are not making spec
ialty of that now. We have turned the mill
into an elevator. The elevetor bushes is
growing rapidly in this city, and with the
accession of another railroad or two this
will become an important trans-shipping
point. Last week we shipped thirty-seven
cars of corn and oats"
"Where dc you shipf'
'Our trade is over large scope of terri
tory, including Colorado, New Mexico, Ari-
IONA. Arkansas, Mississippi and other south
ern states"
John Miltner's elevator was next Wis
tied
In reply to question, Mr.. Miltner said:
ave average about seven cars day. We
handle wheat, corn and oats. The elevator
interest is rapidly growing in this city and
next year YOU will see come
big elevators built here. We have buyers |
in all the surrounding towns. The reporter
had not time to visit the elevator on the
west side on the Fort Scott road, but it |
probably handles 1000 bushels per day. |
According to this summary, it will be seen
that between the mills and elevators there 1
are about S,725 bushels of grain handled
per day in this city, which would be ST.
$50 bushels per week, or 1922, 200 bushels
per annum, which is no small quantity.

Leadv vile is one Of the great mining towns
Of the west which have begun to decline In
population It Is common enough for small
and little known places to die as rapidly as
they grew, but cities like Virginia City and
Lead vile seem more permanent, and APP
pareutly should escape the fate Of less pre-.
tentious places Leadvills, however, has
fallen from H. $50 inhabitants in 1850 TO
1. 066 by the Colorado state census just
completed. Denver, on the other hand, shows
the stability of O true city OF diversified
industries and many resources, as well as
the wonderful growth of tho west. In 1850
Denver hal 5000 people, and now the
census shows 81, 900, q gain Of riy four
ssvenths In FIVE years.
