Of western millionaires. Mahlon ID.
Thatcher the younger Of the two, Is as
near human aniomalon as man
generally gets; his soul is wrapped up In
money making, and he Is said to have
no more interest In other matters than

ing and sleeping. lie writes all his own
letters himself and he knows every
tctail Of his vast business and attends
to most Of them personally. lie Is a
man OF few warm friendships and no
amuscments. Still he Is considered one
OF the ablcst iinanciers Of the West.
lie owns bank stock all over the coun-
Try, and he is, am told, director in a
dozen different banks. John Thatcher,
the elder is more companionablc
fellow, and, though he Is said to be a
good business man, Il IS Mahlon who
manages the property. These two men
came to Colorado poor. John Thatcher
drove an OK team load OF supplies from
Denver to Pueblo before the civil war
and opened a store there. lie had his
own way Of doing business. His goods
were never placed ON shelves, but they
were In heap on the floor and about
the room, and customers went in and
picked out what they wanted and asked
John the price. lie always put Il high
enough, but he never changed IL. II
the customer objected the goods were
simply tossed back into the heap until
some other customer came along. This
went on for some time, and then Mahlon
came out to help his brother. He
brought order out OF the chaos, and
under him the store began to make
money. From merchandising they
driited into banking, and the store was
turned into a hardware shop, which still
belongs to the brothers, and which
makes money They have, during their
career, been very careful as to invest
ments, avoiding mines and speculations
Of that nature Pueblo has grown from
village TO big city, and their property
is accommodating with startling rapidiiy.

HOW TOM BOWEN GOT RICH.
Tom Bowen Is said to be doing we'll
but you can never tell anything about
Bowcn's statements In regard to his
wealth. When he was in Congress he
had new story to circulate every
month about the fortunate speculations
which he was making In mines and he
got greater reputation for riches on
less solid capital than any Colorado
man who ever came TO Washington.
Bowcn's life, however, has been one Of
ups and downs. lie has been rich
man and he has been very poor. lie
came from Arkansas to Colorado with
nothing and for seven years he worked
group OF claims in company with
others IN n corporation known as the
San Juan Mining Company. This com.
pany was badly managed and It's stock
fell 10 practically nothing. Bowen saw
that there was money In It aud In 1881,
when the stock was being played for At
poker u the rate Of two drinks for n
share, Tom Bowen began to buy H. lie
got 100000 worth Of stock for s7s. and
In a short time acquired control Of the
company. lie then went into develop.
ing the mine In earnest, and iu a short
time made fortune. am told that
Bowen made some money In Creed and
that he is now well to do.
Judge Belfotd, the red rooster Of the
Rockies, is also doing we'll lie has
gotten back his old grip ON the people,
and he is making a great deal Of money
at the law. He told me oucc that he
would have been worth 10000 today
u lie had never gone into Congress,
aud that he was making $4,000 a year
when he was elected.

almost do murder to get little flour.
Creswell had been carpenter in the
east, aud he and Baxter became great
friends. They worked at their trades in
the mining camps during the day and in
the evening devoted themselves to
mining. During the first year they
saved about $40 apiece, and with this
they bought ranch on the Arkansas
river aud raised vegetables aud grain by
irrigation. They got high prices for the
products, and Baxter had blacksmith
shop, at which he repaired the wagons
OF shod the teams Of the passing gold
seekers. One day a man came along
with team Of oxen which were nearly
dead from exhaustion. lie was dis
gusted with Ire and offered to trade his
entire outfit for mule. The trade was
made, the wagon being the considera-
ton IN the mind Of Baxter for the mule,
and the oxen were turned out on the
plains to die. To BaNtcr's surprise they
found the best OF food In the plains aud
by spring they were In fine condition
They were driven to Denver and were
sold to the butchers there for good
round price. This started Baxter and
Creswell in the cattle business aud they
have since made a fortune at It.

Good Appointments.

The appointments to foreign missions that
Mr.. Cleveland has thus far made are salts
factory ones in every respect. Even the
republican papers have not thought it
necessary TO find fault with them. MIR.
Eustis. who goes to France, and Mr.. Run
yon, who goes TO Germany. are scholarly
men Of acknowledged ability. They have
held high public positions and discharged
the duties Of them with credit to them
selves and to the satisfaction OF their con-
stituents. There is no doubt that they will
not suffer in any respect in comparison
with their predecessors.
Other foreign appointments have been
made with excellent judgment. The ap-
pointees are representative men, and are in
all respects qualified for the positions for
which they have been chosen.
There are several important missions
yet to be filed, but il, in filling them, the
same good judgment is exercised our repre-
seutatives abroad will be men Of whom the
country will be proud.

A hiistaken Contemporary

The MORNING NEWS said few days ago
that it regretted that so bright aud able
paper as the New York Morning Aduer-
tiser should continue 30 far behind the
times" In response the Morning Alder
tjser says: I'VE can't quite understand
this. So far as the people of the south are
concerned they seem to be standing about
where they we're in 1860. The entire Demo-
cratic party Is engaged IN the WORK of try
ing 10 upset and undo all that has been done
since the war. This newspaper Is bOttlin z
for progress-is trying TO stay the retro
active tendencies Of the Democratic party
The occasion for our comment upon the
Morning Advertiser Is that that news
paper does not seem to recognize the
fact that the war of secession ended more
than a quarter of a century ago, and that
the people Of both the north and south have
about forgotten the issues that kept them
apart for a number of years after the
close Of that war. It is still hanging
on to its bloody shirt" ideas and
telling its readers that the southern
brigadiers are in the saddle The Morning
Advertiser is very much like Mrs. Lease +,
OF Kansas. Because some ill-msnnered fell
low threw an egg at her when she was max
ing speeches in this state, there is nothing
too hard for her to say against the southern
people The throwing of that egg changed
Mrs. Leases opinions Of the south and the
southern people. Upon a previous visit 80
Georgia she had formed opinions that were
entirely different-that were, in fact, Of a
highly complimentary character.
Nobody, Of course, has thrown an egg at
the Morning Advertiser, but the south has
helped to push its party out Of power by
adhering to political doctrines that have for
their object the relieving Of the people of
unnecessary burdens and the administering
of the government economically and in
accordance with the constitution, and it
acts as If IL had received a personal injury
which 1t ought to resent.
The truth is the Morning Advertiser
knows nothing about the south. Its i'm
pressions of the southern people have been
received from untrustworthy sources. 1t
should send reliable representatives through
the south and then it would be in position
to do justice to the section Of the country
that is destined to be the richest and most
prosperous.

The report Of the committee appointed
by the stockholders of. the Southwestern
] railroad TO 20 to New York to get better
I terms fer Southwestern stock than is offered
/ in the scheme for the reorganization Of the
4 Central railroad system is just about what
il was thought it would be by those best &C.
ouainted with the Southwestern railroad
aad the reorganization scheme. II Is unqual-
ifedly in favor of going into the scheme.
The mem bers of the committee, who are
well known gentlemen aud have the conf
dence Of the southwestern stockholders in
a marked degree, say, frankly, that at the
outset they were against the scheme. They
went TO New York feeling it ought not to
be accepted. They returned to Macon en-
PERTAINING entirely different views While
In New York they became convinced that
the best thing the Southwestern stockhold-
ers could do was to accept the reorganiza-
ton scheme, and do all they could for the
prompt rehabilitation Of the Central rail
road system. They, therefore, advise the
acceptance of the reorganization plan, and
they urge the stockholders TO act as a
unit
The advice is good. 1t is the best that
could be given. Unless all reports are
erroneous, the Southwestern railroad could
not earn a ! per cent. dividend as a separate
system, il in fact, IL could earn dividend
at all. And it might take good deal of
time and cost large amount Of money to
diseutangle It from the Central The tri-
partite bonds hold it, and Notwithstanding
the opinion that is expressed by some
lawyers that no court would hold the
Southwestern for any part Of these bonds
or on the Endorsement of the Montgomery
and Eufaula bonds, it cannot be predicted
with any degree of certainty what the
courts would do, because it is impossible to
foresee what questions shrewd and skillful
lawyers might present for the considera-
tion OF the courts. The very least that
might be expected would be legal entangle-
ments that might occupy the attention of
the courts for a long time, and which would
certainly injure the Southwestern property.
No part OF the Central system is so liber-
ally dealt with in the reorganization scheme
as the Southwestern road. AS already stated
the property is far from being as valuable
as il once was. If the reorganization
scheme should be accepted the stockholders
would be certain to get what would sell for
a great deal more than the present market
value Of their stock. and what would, in
year or two, command more than their
stock sold for when confidence in it was
unimpaired.
The committee is evidently satisfied that
no better terms than those offered can be
obtained. There Is, therefore, nothing to be
gained in delaying the deposit Of the stock.
If the reorganization scheme is to be sue
cess, and the indications are that it will be.
the sooner it is declared operative and the
road taken out of the hands of a receiver,
the better 10 will be for all interested par
ties.
