"COIN" HARvEY'S PASTURE.
He Owns Section of Land Close
by the City.

Any information with which men Of
public notoriety are connected is always
interesting, hence our readers will relish
the following bit OF news, for it is news
to most people that the now famous
author OF Coins Financial School
owns large body OF land close to this
city.
When w. II. Harvey was dealer in
real estate IN Pueblo, he acquired by
right of purchase tract of land en-
bracing Gao acres, the same being a
school section lying about two miles
northwest OF the court house on Dry
Creek. He had leased the land from
the state for time, and then made ap-
plication to purchase, his possession
dating back to about the year 1891. AT
that time the land was worth consider
able money, but like broad acres every
where else, it gradually shrank in value
until today it could be had at a very
low figure. 1t was this tract to which
Mr. Harvey referred in his first book
Coins Financial School, as having SC
greatly deprecated in value under the
blighting gold standard.
The section is all enclosed now with @
barbed wire fence, and is in charge oi
Fred McAl lister, a son of Policeman T.
+. McAllister, who is pasturing stock by
the month for Pueboans. None OF the
sod has ever been broken, and the pas
ture land is still virgin prairie.

OVERLAND TO PUEBLO IN 1873
An Old-Timer Is Reminded of His
Arrival in the City "a Years ago

Ex-County Commissioner Chan Long
has right to be classed as one Of the
old timers of Pueblo. We met him last
Monday and he incidently remarked
that that was the oath anniversary OF
his arrival in the city
Drawing him out, we learned that
just "a years ago last Monday himself
and wife arrived overland in Pueblo.
They had come over the Santa Fe rail-
road from Topeka as far as Sergeant.
Kansas, station about fifteen miles
east OF the Colorado state line, and
which, at that time, was the terminus Of
the Santa Fe. From there they finished
the journey in wagon, and long hard
trip they had Of it.
How did Pueblo look at this time"
we asked.
WELL" said Chan, at didn't look
then like it does now. Most OF the
town was north of the river, and the
river spread out all over the south part.
They were then just laying off the streets
in South Pueblo, and l don't think
there were fifty persons living south Of
the river, 1t was a dreary looking place
enough, can tell you"
When we ventured to inquire why he
came out here at such a time, Chan
looked puzzled and replied musingly:
81 hardly know why. We just took a
notion to come and we got here"
And that is probably good expana-
ton as to what brought four-ffths OF
the people to the far west.

\ Building and Loan Association
That Leads ali Others.

The Bessemer Building and Loan As
sociation is making preparation to pay
Off their first series Of stock which viii
mature by the first of next June This
series will then be eight years and eley-
en- months old. The holders of this
stock will have paid in SlO7 per share,
and will draw out 500 per share, a
clear gain of S93 per share. When we
remember that one dollar of the above
sl01 was paid in eight years and eleven
months ago and one dollar each month
thereafter the last dollar being paid in
May 1887, we are able to form some idea
of the large profits realized by the
stocSholder. The monthly payments Of

places the stock within the reach Of
every person in our city, and the officers
expect great demand for stock in the
Ninth series which will be issued July
lst 1897.
During the past year commencing last
July the association has paid out on the
first series over 900. besides making
a large number of loans to its stock
holders.
Their meetings are open to everybody,
and their annual reports are scattered
broadcast over our city in pamphlet
form as well as published in our papers.
thereby showing that they desire the at
tention and investigation of the whole
public as TO the workings of this iusti-
tuition. We make the bold assertion
that no association IN the state or the
whole United States can show better
results for the stockholders than our
own Bessemer Building and loan As,
sociation has shown to date. 1t has
been tried and proven, and when their
officers make out between thirty and
forty warranty deeds. next July, to the
members who bought their homes
through the association, almost all of
them poor working people, 1t will he one
OF the proudest moments in their ex-
istence, and we would not be surprised
if general celebration occurred among
these people who will then own their
own homes and who can bid adicu to
all landlords and rent collectors.
Are you going to subscribe for stock
in the new series of the Bessemer
Building and Loan Association? Watch
for their next annual report.
Do you hold stock in the Bcssemer
Building and Loan Association! II not

that have been proven successful and
help to the extent of all their income

Twas Ever Thus

We have only to turn back few
pages in Pueblo's history TO reach the
time when the editor of the Courier
was imported from Missouri as non
union man, and it was only after much
persuasion and heated controversy in
the typographical union that he finally
consented to join the union, and that
only to keep from losing his Job. The
worst thing unionism has to contend
with is some OF its own bcsses.-The
Mail.
How about this, anyway, Otto? Is it
true or is it not true? II true it looks
bad for boss OF your pretensions, but
IL not true, then the INDICATOR tenders

Its all In the Family.

There is said to be school district in
Kiowa county where there is but one
family, the Needhams. The father,
mother and son comprise the board of
directors, and the only pupils to attend
school are the two little Needhams. To
complete this unusual and ridiculous
state of affairs, there should be another
teaching the school. There can be no
question about who is running that
school, and the teacher is pretty apt to
do Just about as the Needhams say.
They need people more than they Need

He had his day, and he had very live
ly and exciting day at that; however,
his period OF activity came to an abrupt
end with the setting in of the contrac
tion OF :he currency along in President
Harrison's term OF Office, and he then
became the butt of public redicule, and
the pet aversion of class of investors
who acquired property while laboring
under excitement created by him. But
1t is question il the good he brought
about did not out weigh the evil re-
sulting from the creation of abnormal
development and fictitious values. The
results OF the reckless enterprise of this
enthusiastic individual are to be seen on
every hand, and we would much prefer
having him in Pueblo today than the
army of old fossils, the kickers on gener-
al principles and the semianarchists
who throw cold water on all attempts at
public enterprise. Yes, we would not
only prefer him, but if he would make
his appearance on earth once more and
clear the town OF the sort Of hold
backs we mention, we would favor turn
ing the town over to his tsndar mercies

REALTY CAME HIGH.
A Cigar box Full Of Earth Cost the
Neat Little sum of 500.

A boom in Pueblo real estate is ap-
preaching. 1t is sure to come, and
when it does it may rival the famous
boom experienced by Wichita, Kansas,
some years ago, when excitement ran
high and values rose above the clouds.
1t is related that when the boom was
at its height two smart young men
came out from quiet old town in Yer
ment and, carried completely away
with the excitement, they put what lit
tie money they had together and opened
up n real estate office. They wrote
home to rich old uncle flowing de-
scription of the wonderful Wichita, and
declared that realty would soon COM
mand New York prices.
The old man thought he would make
a little Investment Just for luck, and
for warded his nephews $500. His sur
prise and chagrin can better be imag
incd than described when, about two
weeks later he received by express II
cigar box full of earth, and accompany
ing it was this note:
Dear Uncle:
This is all the real estate you can buy
in Wichita for 5000. The deed will fol-
low shortly.

MORE GOOD NEWS.
Prospects are Good for an Extensive
New Line of Street Railway.

prospective new line of street rail
way is on the tapis with fair chances of
it being built. 1t will be suburban
line, and will take in the steel works,
the Nuckolls Packing establishment
the stock yards, the Philadelphia smelter
and Riverview cemetery.
The enterprise is under the super
vision of the Pueblo Electric Street
Railway company, and it Is known to
the INDICATOR that much encourage
ment has been held out to the company
by parties interested in the places to be
touched, and which are herein mention
ed, to go ahead and construct the
road. The civil engineer of the street
railway company, p. o. Gaynor, was
over the proposed route few days ago
with view of forming some estimate OF
the cost of constructing the road, and
we understand his report is favorable.
The new branch would tap the Boss
Northern avenue near the viaduct, and
proceed east on Northern avenue to q
point east OF the steel works, where it
would branch off to the places it is des-
tined to reach. Such line would be a
blessing for the men employed at the
Philadelphia smelter and Nuckolls
Packing Co, and we hope to see it put
through.
OF course tits only question ofexped-
iency from financial point OF view with
the railway company, but it does look as
if the transient traffic taken with its
regular passenger trade would pay.

The rich strikes in the Red River
ountry are exceeding even the
fondest hopes of those interested in

to talk about prospects and what the
camp will prove to be, for the gold

and hardly day passes but some
man strikes rich vein of ore and is
raised from poverty to riches, as
nearly all the men in that camp are
comparatively poor, although of late
men of means have been taking
decided interest in that section and
are anxious to invest their money.
Word has Just reached this city
that ore running $500 to the ton has
been found within a couple of hun
dred yars of Red River City by the
Phipps brothers on ground that has
been tramped over by nearly every
prospector in that camp. This vein
was opened up while they were do
! ing the assessment work.
/ 1t has been often said that this
district would eclipse cripple Creek,
and it now looks as if this was not
| idle talk, but that the statement
would prove true. This is not said
to detract from the glory of that
