sand We have over SS,OO0,O00 invested in
our different manufactures in this stats.
We have 100000 invested in our iron
works at Pueblo, and those works are
now idle because the existing rates will
not allow us to connect with eastern fac

mer with capacity of sixty tons per
day, but We cannot operate them on ac-
count Of unjust rates. The product Of
the Pennsylvania works can be shipped
to Pacific coast points at much smaller
cost for transportation than We can ship
the same article from Colorado We
would like also to start our nail factory
at Bessemer that is now idle by reason of
excessive rates."

iron works and smelters located in Den
