| Boston Capitalists will Furnish the Capt.
tai for Boulder Enterprise.

Boston Cap1taltstS Will furnish the ChPi-
tai for Boulder Enterprise.
Boulder is assured of the proposed
electric street car line A $4,000 bond
was filed with the city clerk last night
as guarantee that the road would be
completed to the Chautauqua grounds,
according to the franchise, bv June l.
Active work on the line will be begun as
soon as necessary details are completed.
Messrs. E. c. Allen, Guy D. Duncan
and w. c. Dyer went down to Denver
Yesterday and closed the details with the
eastern capitalists who are interested in
this scheme. These capitalists were &C
companied by Judge J. w. Deane, a
fourth member of the Boulder board of
promoters, who has been east for some
months working up the plans. The cap
italists are Boston men, but only two
names are given out. These names ap-
pear on the $4,000 bond which was filed
last night. They are A. w. Mechanism
and w. G. Reed 1t is stated that the
amount of capital which will be lmmedi.
ately invested in the scheme will be
100000, and the promoters have $780,
more to invest as occasion demands.
A $500 horsepower plant will be in.
stalled in Boulder to furnish power for
the electric road and for certain mining
and milling enterprises. Included in the
plant will also be Car barns, repair shops,
etc, The bonds for the enterprise have
been fully subscribed and the promoters
are prepared to proceed with active
work at once.
The line will be a double track system
from the union depot to the Chautauqua
grounds and the promoters state tha,
ample equipment will be furnished TO
handle the Chautauqua crowds. The
cars will be as finely furnished and fin.
lshed as any in the market.
This was one of the most importan,
elements necessary for the success of the
Chautauqua session. With transporta
ton assured the managers of the Chau-
tauqua can plan for the coming session
with the utmost confidence.
The proposed immediate route is from
the union depot by the most feasible
route to 18th street; thence southerly to
the university campus; thence ives erly
past St Gertrude's Academy to the GENE
terry; thence southerly by loop past the
Chautauqua grounds and back to 18th
street;
The road will be constructed of 10 ID
rails and equipped with the most modern
electrical appliances, together with the
best rolling stock obtainable. The power
plant car barns, repair shops, ETC., will
be located on the old Boyd mill site.
The immediate capacity of the power
plant will be at least $500 H. P. This
power will be supplied by the Corless
engines in connection with the latest i'm.
proved electrical machinery. In addi-
,lon to the power for the electrical rail,
way, the plant will be designed and ad-
apted to furnish electric power for ex.
isting and proposed mills and factories
and thereby the city will be freed from
the smoke from numerous power plarts
and the city supply of water which is
now used for power will be relieved by
the more desirable electrical power.
The management OF the enterprise
will be in the hands of the local pro-
moters, together with we'll known Boston
manufacturers of electrical apparatus
and capitalists who have been successful
in constructing and operating number
of electrical enterprises in different parts
of the country.
1t is proposed to transmit this electric.
al power to the various mining c,mps
throughout the country and furnish
power at the mines much cheaper than
the same power can be produced by the
mine operators. In addition to the road
to the Chautauqua grounds, line will
be constructed to the Santarium and to
a number of other parts of the CITY,
