banking system, but In Mr.. Allies opinion
not one of these is feasible. and would but
undermine the present prosperity or the
country. The reason for the panic OF 1888
lay in the fact that when disaster loomed
ahead the banks of the country withdrew
their loans and thus contracted credit, at
the very time when it should have been ex-
banded The best cure for this Is to have
a great federal banking institution which
shall exercise supervision over all OF the
national banks and through the credit which
would attach to it prevent loss of public
confidence.
Bank credit" Mr.. Allies said, lis the real
currency Of the country, and this should
be protected to the utmost extent. To
bring about this desideratum the same
amount Of confidence should be reposed IN
bank notes as in bank credit. At the end
of the present century our population viii
have increased to 350.0O0,000. and to these
future generations, as well as to ourselves
it is our duty to hand down system OF
finance which will fully protect the bust
ness interests of our country"

THE UNITED STATES
REDUCTION AND

The United States Reduction 4 Re
tining Co. owns the Union plant, the
Metallic plant at Cyanide and the
National pl mt located on the Coal Creek
branch of the ID. Il II. G. h. h. The
National plant is a chlorination mill of
$50 tons daily capacity. well equipped
with modern machinery and in perfect
condition; on account of an insufficient
ore supply this plant is idle at the pres
ent time.
The Metallic plant, located at Cyan
ide, is a 40 ton cyanide mill and is also
idle at the present time. The company
is operating a 400 ton concentrating
plant on the failing dump at the latter
plant, for concentrating the big dump of
tailings, using p large Whitley tables for
this purpose. The concentrates thus
produced are shipped to the smelters for
final treatment All of the old failing
dumps of the company are being re-
worked in this way at a good profit.

Depend Upon Petroleum.

No matter in what form we choose to
evolve our artificial light today, we are
dependent upon petroleum. The illu-
minating portion of the gas which we.
burn in the ordinary gas lamp is petro-
leum, the gas lamps used in our luxu-
rlous sleeping cars of today depend upon
petroleum gas. Our lamps are fed with
petroleum oil, our candles are made Of
petroleum wax, our electric lamp car
bons are made entirely from petroleum
and even the tillimonts in our incandes
cent lamps are made from petroleum.,
and strange as it may seem, they are
made almost entirely from gasoline.
These are only few of the strange
things which might be said of the uses
OF petroleum.

Colorado Portland Cement COM
pany. This factory is now well
under way and will be in operation
by August lst next, with daily
capacity of l,000 barrels which will
give the two companies total OF
|. 400 barrels daily. or "A surplus
after supplying every barrel used
in Colorado and the Rocky Noun
tain region from Canada to Mex

continent of Europe from which
Portland cement has been made
for half century. This material
at Portland is far superior to the
chalk of Europe, since the clay
portions are already added and
mixed by nature, forming natural
cement shale that is as near per-
feet in chemical composition as
any Portland cement materials
found anywhere i'll the world.
Those operating long ago having
the nearest perfect raw material,
chemically, have made the nearest
perfect quality of Portland cement
manufactured anywhere in the
world. The Colorado product has
already established a reputation
for itself that is impregnable.
During the fall of 1899 the Colo
RADIO Portland Cement company
was organized and incorporated
with W. H. James, president,
Joseph A. Thatcher, secretary and
treasurer; w. f. Geddis. vice pres
ident and general manager; and
Aman Moore, superintendent. The
town of Portland, near Florence
was established, factory COM
pleted and i'll operation by the end
of July 1900 with a capacity of 400
barrels per day.
The product soon displaced all
imported cements coming into Col
orado and by the spring of 1901
the capacity of the factory was in
sufficient to supply the increasing
demand. At that time Mr.. Moore
with Mr.. Leonardt of Los Angeles.

Land Investment Coal q Oil Co,
which Mr.. Wallace had bought up,
and secured a lease from Jas. A..
McCandless on his farm (Which
embraced about cne-half the pres
ent townsite of Florence,) and also
between 5000 and 5000 acres of
additional leases. Mr. McCand-
less was extremely liberal and far
sighted in his dealings with Mr..
Wallace, realizing the immense i'm
portance of the oil industry and
foreseeing the erection of city in
place of hamlet when the master
hand should strike.
The first well was drilled in n
clump of trees in what was known
as the McCandless corral, situated
on Fourth street between Pike S
Peak and Petroleum avenues on
the south bank of Sand creek.
This well came in a four barrel
producer, and was Immediately fol-
lowed by the sinking of another
located about three hundred feet
southwest, which well pumped $50
barrels day for "A considerable
time. Both wells were shallow,
neither being more than 1900 feet
deep.
On September 10, that year, five
car loads of machinery arrived i'll
Florence for refinery for the
Arkansas Valley Oil q Land com
pany. There We're at this time
four producing wells in the field.
The refinery was to have "A daily
capacity of 100 barrels, with four
stills.
In 1887 Mr.. Wallace conceived
the idea of forming corporation
which should absorb all the oil in
terests under one ownership, and
under one management. This he
succeeded in doing, the United Oil
company being the successor

PORTLAND CEMENT co.

The first attempt to manufacture
Portland cement in this state dates
back almost a quarter of century;
since that time small factories were
built at Trinidad, Denver. Canon
City, and Colorado City, all of
which failed, due to improper raw
materials, crude methods of manu-
featuring and ignorance of scien-
tific knowledge of the business.
Not until the establishment of the
factory at Portland, six miles east
of Florence on the A. L. x >. +
and ID. & r. G railways, was the
industry established on modern
and successful basis. The credit
for this is principally due to Mr..
VIM. +. Geddis of Denver, and Mr..
Aman Moore formerly of Bellefon-
tame, Ohio.
Mr.. Moore came to Colorado in
March, 1899, and after spending
nine months research and analyti-
cal work in the laboratory, visiting
almost every mountain canon along
the eastern slope of the Rocky
Mountains from Wyoming to New
Mexico, he located the deposit near
Florence as the best situated and
most suitable raw material in
Colorado. There nature seems to
have lavished her supplies and
heaped them together at one place
in su, h abundance and of such
perfect quality that the world at
large seems to have been robbed to
satisfy her gifts to this chosen
spot. A half million acres of
cement material many hundred
feet in depth, abundance of oil for
vitrifying purposes and an mex
haustable supply of coal at the
very door of the mill. The mater
ials are of the Niobrara period
geologically, identical with the
chalk cliffs of England and the

wanted as directors declined to
join him in the company because
the proposition was entirely differ
ent from anything they ever had
to do with. And so Mr. Wallace
went to New York where he made
his own selection of directors from
strong business men. The Colo
RADIO Oil Co. was organized on the
basis of the organization of the
