Another surprising development
Of wealth production in Colorado
is found in coal, iron and steel and
their cognate industries. People
in general have been accustomed
to reckon these as nearly all lying
east of the Mississippi. Yet Colo
RADIO has been steadily developing
in this way for more than a de-
cade, till it is found that during
this year there have been produced
in the state about FIVE and a half
million tons of coal, valued at the
mines at about S8,00O,O00, an in
crease approximating million
tons over 1899, while the iron and
steel production during the year
has BEEN in value, about S5,000,-
600. The increase in iron ore
alone has been nearly 45,000.oo0
pounds, while that in pig iron was
close to 100000 pounds, and
that in steel rails was still closer to
100000. Besides this, more
than half million tons of coke
were produced. an increase of more
than $4,000 tons over 1899, indi-
eating a corresponding growth in
kindred industries-The Denver
Times.

January is here and we are done

January is here and we are done
with writing 1900. The New Year
has begun. There is always some
thing exhilarating and hopeful
about the beginning OF anything.
There are such possibilities in it.
And at the beginning we never
look for adverse circumstances
that is, circumstances adverse to
our success. Hope is fully alive.
The year is new, and we are new
with it. Business takes a fresh
impetus. The policy of the Ad-
ministration is sufficiently well un-
derstood to warrant most of us in
going about our business. 1t is to
!. e presumed that the country is
. We for four years longer. For
= which, let us give thanks.

1t is being rumored in New York
that the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad and other railroads in
business in Colorado and adjoin-
ing territory have arrived at an
understanding and that there will
be "a TRANSMISSION of interests. "
The stock of the first named has
been on rise for some time and it
is being bought by persons who
have interests in the great trunk
roads of the East. All of the
Colorado roads have been making
an excellent showing in recent
wears, due not alone to improved
conditions, but to superior man
agement. Some years ago Colo
RADIO, as whole, did not profit by
the misfortunes of some of the
roads, but the day is past and a
better managed corporation than
the Colorado Southern-Midland
combination of interests, cannot
be found. In no commercial un-
dertaking is there such ground for
consolidation of interests as in the
railroad business. That is the
great incentive to government own
ership; it would do away with
competition.
