ing with herculean effort to Go so.
While smaller local lines are literally
making
A GKTDIRoN OF THE STATE,
opening up sections of new country
and developing every industry in both
the old and new districts The wealth of
this wonderful development will be
poured into the trade arteries of Denver.
She is the trade entrepot, not for the
state of Colorado alane, but for the en-
tire Rocky mountain region-4the vast
empire of the New West That this is
understood is shown by the marvellous
growth of Denver. Her buildings are of
the most substantial and costly kinds
Her public buildings erected and building
are not surpassed anywhere. The finest
opera house on the continent
is here. = Hotels unexcelled
in accommodations maintain her
well-earned reputation as the best con-
vention city on the continent. Her pop
ulation increasing 20 ,0U0 year, riecessi-
tateS the continuous music OF the mason S
trowel. Block after. block that last week
was vacant ground, are this week COW
cred with commodious dwellings of stone
and brick and occupied at once. Forty
miles of street car lines yesterday proved
citizens, and to-day a dozen miles of
steam cable roads are operating, with
subsidiary branch lines using steam mo-
tors, and thirty additional miles
are being speedily constructed.
There lis good reason for
all this. A few years ago the merchants
of this vast territory, comprising Colora-
do, Utah, Wyoming Eastern Nebraska,
NewMexfco and contiguous regions, woke
up to the fact that they were paying inn.
mense sums of money for transporting
their manufactured goods from eastern
markets. Shrewd men were not long in
discovering
GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.
The marvellous increase in the population
of these regions indicated a growing and
profitable market The presence of a
cheap and abundant fuel supply guaran-
teed an economical manufacture. The
raw material-iron and wool, leather and |
lead, all in fact were ready at hand. |
In this economy of trade the |
demand speedily created the sup |
ply, and, presto! the smoke stacks |
of the 1nanufactOries are rearing their |
tall shafts in hundreds. Where? In |
Denver Why in Denver? Because at |
Denver raw material and fuel is as cheap /
as elsewhere, and besides Denver is the |
established railroad center of the entire |
region. Denver has long enjoyed the |
reputation of possessing the largest |
smelling works of the precious metals in
the world She will soon add the claim
of being the largest manufacturing city
of the western half of our continent.
And as she is, and will ever continue
to be
THE GREAT DISTRIBUTING CENTER,

the Rocky mountain region is her gain.
Here are sixty different kinds of mana
factories, with products valued at S40,-
600 900. The bank clearings for 1883
reaching nearly 500 600 600 People
with Denyer's resources
ask when will this activity in business
close. l can best reply by quoting the
finish of Ex-Governor Evans remarks to
me: 1.-THE people who are asking.
: When will this prosperity boom cease?'
evidently do not comprehend what is be-
hind the boom. I heard just such inqui-
ries when Chicago began to make its
great progress twenty years ago, and
the inquiries have not been answered
yet. Standing here in the center of the
continent where but few years ago was

THE GREAT COMMERCIAL CENTER

Is between the Republic of Old Mexico
md the British posse ssions in the north.
Why the boom has not begun!'
''When viii it cease?' The question
nas been asked every cay for the past
EN- years, and every day during that pc
iod Denver has steadily grown greater
Real estate values have increased
rom 1000 to 1000 per cent
Turing these past ten years, and
hose who had no time to ask or answer ,
hese questions have rounded up the
,rofts. There are times when property
more active than at others, but values
ave never diminished in Denver, With
he healthy stimulus of manufacturing ]
Industries, constantly expanding their
utput to supply the demands of growing
larket values must steadily increase
18th each succeeding year. When will
ne boom of Denver's prosperity cease?
When the new continent is discovered in
