know by the hearing OF the car, and am re-
iOiccl to add TO MY pleasant Impressions OF
Colorado. and Of its commercial aud politl-
cal capital this sight Of the eye which
has hut dcepened and enlarged the
favorable Impressions which brought
to your state. Eoiir state is blessed In the
diversity Of its resources. You do not de-
pend upon any one Of the great Industries
of civilized life. You have taken from your
mines immense stores OF the precious
metals, but when these are gone or their
supply is diminished you Will turn your eyes
towards those metals that we call base but
that after all enter in so many ways into
human life that they supply more enduring
and In the end more prohtablo Industries.
YonE-iEpn- coal, len1-aud building stone
will be sources OF income incXhaustible.

not been so dglyiuR TN tho cartli, that you
have not so turned your minds to the metals
