Colorado produces 100000 OF
metallic wealth every year. Some OF
that amount remains st home to pay for
labor, some Of it shifts into the pockets
Of the wealthy men Of the state. but the
most OF it goes to New York, Philadel-
phia and Washington. By the time it
returns to Colorado in the shape Of coin,
bearing the stamp Of New York" or
some other metropolis, like dramatic
production, it costs the Colorado laborer
and the Colorado employer twice, thrice
or four times as much to regain it as it
cost him in the first place to produce il.

opinion, indeed. But why should it be
in the power Of few men to precipitate

The fact that q few men do control
this power, and that they have used it
costing the country thousands OF mil

THRIVING DELTA.


Delta presents q marked improvement
since my visit Of seven months ago.
Substantial brick buildings having taken
the place Of wooden structures in many
cssss. Much OF the changed condition
10 due toJ. F. Sanders. Of Bachelor
mine fame at Ouray. who has certainly
set commendable example to mining
men Who are making handsome sums
from their mines.
Mr.. Sanders draws his nice little divi-
dend OF fifteen to twenty thousand dollars
q month and promptly applies the pro-
cesds to various business properties.
The old corner where the court house
stood has been purchased by him and
three elegant brick etors rooms are now
being erected. The corner room is to be
occupied by . bank and the adjoining one
by 4 drug store.
In the rear OF the building 10 tin can
manufactory. In the opera house block
two more brick stores are just complet-
ed-in fact in every direction new houses
are to bs sen.
The Delta canning and fruit preserv-
ing factory is . permanent institution.
This was built by Mr.. Sanders.
Several other projects are contemplat-
ed, which when completed will make
Delta the most prosperous city on that
sope-and no wonder. A ride up the
valley towards Hotchkiss and Paonia
will show at once the wonderful resource.
ful territory tributary TO Delta lined on
either side Of the river with fruit orch
ards after fruit orchards for thirty miles
presenting themselves dressed in green.
laden with fruit OF all kinds, while of
shooting valleys and mesas following
smaller streams extending for miles are
equally blessed with new orchards. 1t
was quite surprise TO learn that in
many cases these fruit farms contained
lG0 acres aud in several cases 800 acres
Of the best selected fruit all bearing. and
equally as many more that will soon come
into that stage.
These orchards extend up the north
fork Of the Gunnison right up to the base
of the mountains. In less than five
years this valley will be the marvel Of
fruit growers and in my judgement excel
any in Colorado.
The altitude makes the fruit especially
hardy for long shipment and much less
apt to catch the early frosts that lower
attitudes are subject TO. Tho soil is
especially adapted to vegetables. which
grow to enormous size, but Of late this
branch Of agriculture has been much
neglected. seemingly all the attention
being paid 10 fruit culture.
There is one store at Paouia doing =
good business. We stopped all night at
Hotchkiss at hotel built on the tele-
phone order and well supplied with bed
bugs, judging from the unmistakeable
see saving heard from the different parts
Of the house during the night. This
slight embarrassment was forgotten by
the excellent breakfast served by the
obliging landlord and his wife.

3. II. Largent superintendent Of the city

hour last night. while the board was in
executive session, the question of retain
4 ing Mr.. Largent was reconsidered by a
vote SO radically different from that taken
week ago that the exchange has pro-
duced something of a sensation. The trus-
tees are reticent in discussing the subject
and the question of electing a superin-
tendent of schools has been dropped until
Thursday evening. June is. The impress
sion obtains that there is a large-sized
