GRADING CONTRACT

Boulder, Colo. Aug. 21.-(Denver
News SpeciaD-J. II. De Remer, the
well known contractor of Pueblo, was
in this city yesterday and was closeted
with officials of the Boulder & Inter-
mountain Railway Company. Before
leaving for Denver Mr.. De Remer and
the officers of the company formally
signed the contract for grading the
road in South Boulder canon from its
mouth to Eldora, Il distance of practic-
ally twenty-four miles.
Secretary Wolff of the Intermountain

connection with the Colorado & South

it would surely be extended from the
mouth of South Boulder canon to La
fayette. and that, providing proper ter
minal facilities can be secured in the
city of Boulder this place will be made
one of the terminals, as it surely Will
be the headquarters of the company.
No clash, he says, is likely to occur be-
tween the 1ntermountain road and the

The present rebellion in the Repub-
lie of Colombia is likely to involve the
governments of Colombia and Vene-
zula in war.
There is contingency which might
involve the United States in difficult
ties with foreign countries. Both Ven
ezuela and Colombia have large for
eign debts, on most of which interest
has not been paid for years. Bonds
representing this Indebtedness are held
chiefly by England and Holland. IT, in
order to protect these bondholders
from further loss by disastrous war,
either of these nations should inter-
fere it is probable that the Monroe doc
trine would be involved and the United
States would cry Hands off"
In the meantime it may be well to
explain that the popular idea that this
is n mere farce comedy revolution is
not altogether well founded. In the
first place the territory of the Repub
lie OF Colombia is ten times as large
as that of the State of Illinois, while
it's population is only 5000, against
4 100000 in Illinois. In the second
place the attacks on the present gov
ernment of Colombia have been SO
many during recent years that the Co
lombian army has been greatly en-
larged. 1t is now said to consist of up
ward of 10000 well-drilled and expert
enced soldiers, who are under the
command of able generals. The gov
ernment is conservative, and its
friends say that 1t is devoted to build
ing up the trade and commerce of the
republic.
On the other hand, even his bitterest
enemies admit that General Tribe
UrIDe, the revolutionist leader (report-
ed dead. but report is not credited) is
man of spotless personal character,
who is actuated by the purest motives.

Nicola Tesla's Dream.

New York, Aug. 21.-Machinery for
Tesla's marvellous wireless telegraphy
system, perfected after years of work.
is just finished by the Westinghouse
company. The earth-not the air-is
his medium. His wireless messages
will be cheaper and quicker than ca
bic, and absolutely secret. In war
time one army cannot capture dis
patches of another by tapping" the
earth. Other wireless systems employ
his inventions, but cannot transmit
over more than 200 miles without re-
lay.
''They do not KNOW" said Tesla's
friend, what his apparatus is capable
of doing" Wireless telegraphy is only
an incident in Inventor Tesla's incred-
ible scheme for transmission of cleo
trical energy. From his station on
Long Island sound he will send force
in enormous volume underneath the
sea to foreign lands. Sites have been
chosen in France, Germany and POrtu-
gal for European receiving stations.

Wyoming OIL Fields.

wyoming oil fields near Evanston, in
Uinta county are producing the high
est grade of crude product known in
the world, says the Denver News. The
crude petroleum is worth SO to 81 per
barrel. In the big basin between Oys-
ter ridge and Bear river divide there
are some go square miles of extremely
rich oil lands which are being rapidly
taken up, mostly by representatives of
eastern capitalists. Attention was
first directed to the value of these
lands by the Union Pacific railroad,
which in driving long tunnel for its
cutoff passed through some 700 or 800
feet of oil and gas-bearing shales and
sand. On account of the newness of
the discovery only one well has vet
been sunk and II Is Mt present giving n
flow of from twenty TO twenty-four
barrels per day. a dozen other wells
will be started before the end of the
month. Great Importance Is attached
to the bearing shale, which is al
most completely consumed when ig-
nlted. 1t is expected that this will be
of great value to gas plants. which
sometimes import such shales from
Europe. The well which has been
sunk struck oil at so feet. again at
800 feet, and once more at ,1SO feet.
The oil Is especially rich in paratlinc
and gasoline, both of which are very
valuable. The demand for gasoline II
Is said, Is getting beyond the capacity
of the Standard Oil Company TO han
die.
All the land In this basin was
claimed by the Union Pacific railroad,
who had the privilege of locating every
other section for twenty miles along
their track. They neglected to locate
these sections in order to avoid taxes.
Finally when the land was proved to
he valuable they located II for agri.
cultural purposes. There Is law,
however. which states that no land
may be located under certain condl-
tlons for agricultural purposes within
six miles Of mining claim. Some
representatives Of capitalists finding an
asphaltum mine near Evanston imme-
dlately went In and jumped the whole
territory. Western capital has been
remarkably slow TO recognize the
value of these lands ana thus far Colo
RADIO and Wyoming investors are not
represented at all.
There are several beds of asphnltum
In the region. which will pay big prof
it's to their owners and there arc thou
sands of springs throughout the valley
all of which are highly mincrallzed
containing iron. soda. sulphur and in
varlably salt, salt springs being the
usual accompaniment of oil. In some
places oil has been skinned from the
top of these springs and sold for years.

stating among other things that the
battle of Santiago was won by Samp-
son; that the latter's presence was un-
necessary at that fight: that Schley de-
served no credit for the victory, and
that between the two officers Samp-
son is the better one.
