Denver, Jan. THE Denver papers.
as usual, came out this morning with
very full statistics OF tho Industrial
progress Of the state. Reports from
different sections OF the state are pre-
faced In the Republican by the follow
ing:
The present high tide of prosperity
In Colorado will entitle 1901 to prom
inent place in the history Of the state.
Never before have so many big
things combined to make the whole
state prosperous. Added to Colorado's 8
greatest former achievements, that Of
leading every other state of the Union
In the production of both gold and sill
yer, are new Industries. which promise
equal benefits to the whole people.
Chief among these are the raising
Of sugar beets and the manufacture
Of beet sugar, the gigantic develop
ment operations OF the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company, the almost sensa-
tional growth of live stock raising,
and the phenomenal activity Of rail-
way magnates to secure footing for
their lines In Colorado.
The beet sugar industry Is bring
Ing the greatest of benefits to sections
of the state heretofore only sparsely
settled. Farmers now know by ex-
perience that a road to wealth lies
in raising sugar beets. New lands are
in demand, and that means large cap
itnl for irrigation canals and storage
reservoirs. Long, knotty problems of
the semi-arid regions seem to be soly-
ing themselves.
Three years ago the pioneer sugar
factory was started at Grand juno
ton. The next year two larger ones
were built In the Arkansas valley. In
1901 fourth plant was constructed
at Loveland. Two others, one ut Gree
ley and one at Eaton, are now being
erected. Three other plans are as
sured for this year. and it Is within
bounds to prophecy that Colorado will,
as characteristic Of Its people, also
be the leading state In the production
of beet sugar.
The unmatched resources of Colorado
In coal and iron are now being de-
velOped on n scale that could only be
dreamed of few years ago. The Col
orado Fuel and Iron Company, by in
creasing its capital to $25OOO,OO0 and
then, at one bound, to $4O,OO0,OOO, as
1t did during the last year. spending
the enormous sum of $15,OOO,0OO in
betterments at Its steel plant near
Pueblo, and In developing Its coal and
IRON mines and other properties In
Colorado. New Mexico and Wyoming,
Is doing for the West what individual
capital could not hope to accomplish.
1t Is at present the greatest factor in
the upbuildlng of Colorado.

"A man has killed Harold" cried the
girl. She was in n faInting condition.
Her face was covered with blood, her
dress was torn in several places md
heavy with mud.
| Mr.. FridbOrn Instantly alarmed the
neighbors. one of whom called the po-
lice, and began the search for the dead
boy, whose body was soon found. The
body of the boy lazy face upwards, the
eyes were wide open and the face and
head were strenked with blood and
mud. Captain of Detectives Delaney
picked up the bloody axe which lay Mt
the little victims side. 1t may furnish
clue to the identity of the murderer,
though the police think 1t probable that
! It was stolen from some yard in the
vicinity.
On examination of the body the po-
lice surgeon found fracture OF the
skull above the left ear.
! Instructions were sent to police head
quarters that all policemen on beats be
sent out to search for the murderer.
Type-writtcn slips with the following
description were prepared and given to
detectives and policemen:
MAN thirly-tive years Of age, wear
Ing full beard. heavy build. five feet.
six inches In height, dark hair, gray
overcoat, round cap drawn down over
eyes, dark hair"
The policemen were instructed to
send to jail any person whom 1t fitted
and to take no chances In letting any
I possibly guilty man escape.
! 1t is believed by the police that the
| girls assallant lives in the neighbor-
hood, and that he had been watching
his opportunity to commit the assault.

in the bay were dashed ashore and
later sunk. Two Of them, Ell Luella
and Ell Gravina. were large steamers
engaged in coast trade.
The public building containing the
Offices of the harbor master and col.
lector of customs was destroyed. The
residence of the English vice con
sui was unroofed and otherwise
wrecked. The new municipal hall and
city prison were damaged. The
streets of Guaymas in many places
were strewn with fallen trees and
wreckage.
At Mazatlan, the Pomory Ruby, a
large passenger steamer, was driven
ashore and sunk. Five passengers
we're drowned and the rest reached
the shore on wreckage and driftwood.
Another large vessel in the bay was
also damaged by the tornado.
Between Guaymas and Mazatlan a

and it is supposed that many small
vessels were wrecked and a large num-
Der of lives lost.

Bufalo's New Track.

1t will be welcome news to horsemen
to learn that the new race course at
Buffalo is beyond doubt a go"
The iron and steel work of the grand
stand, betting pavilion and paddock is
all in place, and only the finishing
touches are needed. Stabling for over
600 horses is now finished. The track
has been laid out, and as there is little
or no rock or stone and the ground
very level that part Of the work is
easy.
"A clubhouse is in contemplation,
and a large membership Of Buffalo's
best people will become members. A
half mile track will be built within the
mile oval. and over this the very large
number of amateur drivers in the city
will have a chance to enjoy their ia
vorite pastime.
Purses larger than ever before given
in that neishborhood will prevail, and
the stakes in contemplation will open
the eyes of turfmen when announced.
1t is now said that the meeting will
commence OF Saturday, Aug. !. and
continue twenty days. Then there will
be an interval SO as not to interfere
with the fall meeting at Toronto. after
which the racing will be resumed at
Buffalo.

UNCLE SAM CAN BEAT 'EM ALL.
Explosive Of Tremendous Power Is Up
His Sleeve to Be Used in NAVY,

New York, July 3O.-A new time
fuse for use on armor-piercing shells
loaded with a recently discovered Sc
cret explosive of great power, has
been invented by the war department
ordnance experts and will, according
to an American dispatch to Washing
ton, revolutionize foreign warship
building. Tests of the explosive and
fuse have been made and so long as
the United States government holds
the secret, foreign battleships either
must double their steel walls or be
as wooden frigates with the new de.
stroyer.
General Crozier of the ordnance de-
partment is quoted as having said
that a test of the new explosive has
been conducted with great success at
Sandy Hook proving grounds: that
the she'll carried it's contents through
the armor, and the fuse lasted long
enough to have exploded the shell in
the interior of a warship.
The test was made with a Pinch
gum. 1t pierced 14-inch Krupp armor
before defamation. The heaviest
shield now in use is said to be only
II inches thick.
