FORMER VeRMONTER DEAD.
Remarkable Career of Ex-United State
senator Tabor Of Colorado.

Hon. II. a. w. Tabor, postmaster OF
Denver. Col, and cX-United States soma
tor, whose death has been announced wI3
born in Windham county, Vt, Nov -,
1880, and when young man went to Kan
sas as a farmer, and he was elected IL
the Legislature when Kansas became IL
state. Then he Invested his meagre CApi-
tai in a prairie schooner, e. couple Of oXeu
and the necessaries of life and started for
Colorado, reaching Denver in the fail OF
1859.
1t was not until 1878 that Tabor's long
continued grub-stakng met with its re-
ward, when the Pittsburg was discov red.
From the time of discovery to Ap~ii /,
1850, or substantially two years, the poo
duction of the property amounted to 81
6S1o3i.9l for receipts Of ore sold, ana 81
2i6 239.S1 actual yield. Mr. Tabor sold out
his share for 100000 In company with
Marshall Field of Chicago, Taboo acquired
other claims that eventually yielded MIL
lions.
At The time when tho size of Denver did
not warrant it he built lot of fine resi-
dences far out in the suburbs a cost
of a million or 80, and later erected the
Tabor Grand Opera house, which cost
about as much, and at the time was rated
as the finest theatSe in the country. Adj
Joining no put up an Office building which
cost him r. million and a half. Success
and an abundance of money made him
;
thing offered, investing in mines in tan,
Arizona, New and Old Mexico, aud in
property and buildings in other cities. UNI
I'll finally the crash came. At the time he
was divorced from his first wife his
property, as scheduled in court, was So
oo,00Q. In January, 1897, the last piece Of
property was sold under tho hammer TO
satisfy a mortgage. He then hired d sl3
a month tenement in Denver for his lam
lily, shouldered pick and went off pros
pecting for another fortune with ii bravo
heart
Then Millionaire Stratton loaned him
$1,000 without security of any kind. TIE
money was deposited in bank and checked
out only foG mining purposes. T Dor
earned his food before. In January,
1888. he was pponted p, smaster of Lem
Yer by President Mckinley
During his career he had been mayor Of
Leadvile, lieutenant governor and fOx'
about a month was a United States senu-
tor completing the unexpired term OF
Henry NJ. Teller, when he was appointed
secretary of the interior in the cabinet OF
President Arthur.

THE SHEPARD AND MORSE MILL.
Work Begun Tuesday on the New struc-
ture-Its Di M IN sions All" Equipments.

Work was begun Tuesday on the new
planning and dressing mill of the Shepard
& Morse Lumber company The mill
would have been nearly completed at this
time of the company could have known
the route that the new Rutland railroad
will take but as no definite knowledge
could be obtained 1t was decided to locate
the mill on the west side of the main line
of the Rutland railroad, facing on King
street, where there would be absolutely
no danger of future trouble.
THE structure is to be of brick and will
be % feet high, 1o4 feet wide and 21o feet
long, with dry kiln situated just north
which is to be IS feet wide and So feet
long. Tho buildings arc TO be covered
with iron roofing, are to be equipped with
automatic fire sHinklers and so built In
every particular as to obviate the danger
of fire as far as possible. The building
will have a boiler and engine room and
a fuel room, aside from the main machine
ROOM but plans for placing the machinery
have not been perfected as yet. The lum-
bee for the mill is on the ground and the
work will be pushed forward rs rapidly
as possible by Spear Bros, contractors
and builders, who expect to have the mill
ready for operation about June l. This
new location is in the opposite end Of the
yard from where the old mill stood but
this will in no way change the effective
ness of the work.
