Curator VIII C. Ferril of the State
Historical Society has sent to both
branches of the Legislature similar
communications urging that the cen
tennial anniversary of the explorations
of Zebulon Pike of New Jersey, in
whose honor Pixies Peak is named, be
celebrated by the state, and that an
exposition be held to commemorate
this event, and to commemorate joint
ly with it the semi-centennial of the
discovery of gold in Colorado which
occurs about the same time. This
communication was read at length in
the Senate where it was received with
enthusiasm, and where steps will prob
ably be initiated to take action along
the line suggested. Mr.. Ferril's letter
says: "The centennial anniversary of
the exploration of Major Zebulon Pike,
in which is now Colorado, will occur
in 1906-7, at which time it would be
fitting and appropriate to hold great
exposition in this state. The semi
centennial of the discovery of gold
within our present borders will be in
1908, which date should also be con-
sidered appropriate for such an expo
sition."
