1t is not generally known that
on ascending the throne King Ed
ward became guardian of his
grandchildren, the parents
rights being superseded. This
arrangement was established by
law nearly 200 years ago, and the
right was frequently exercised
by the Georges, who had a way of
quarreling with their sons. No
member of the royal family may
marry without the Kings con
sent; otherwise the marriage is
void. The act governing this
matter was passed at the instiga-
ton of George III in consequence
of his brothers marrying sub
jects.

Prospect of Railroad Communication
Starts Boom.

Denver, June 1.-THE Stcamboat
Springs correspondent of the Republi-
can says:
This section of the state is enjoying
greater prosperity than ever before in
its history. mainly due to the certain
ty of railroad connections In the near
future. Real estate values have gone
up to remarkable extent and trans
actions are of an every day occur
renee. Many parties with money are
securing coal land and the records OF
the Glenwood land office show more
transactions of this kind In the last
six weeks than In the entire history
of the county heretofore.
The Yampa Coal and Coke Com
pany, of which B. l.. Smith of Denver
Is president, has just secured title TO
about 5000 acres of the finest coal
land on Oak creek. where Is found
some OF the best blacksmith and COX
ing coal in the state. Considerable
development work has already been
done on this property and the black
smith coal is hauled by wagon into
North park. Its quality being recognized
as superior. Associated with Mr..
Smith are some prominent Iowa City,
Iowa. capitalists.
1t is estimated that over 10000
acres of coal land have already been
located this spring, much OF which
will be patented before the railroad
arrives. The coal area OF the county
Is enormous, and those tracts easily
worked by tunnel are being taken up
first as 1t is recognized that with SO
large n supply OF coal. economy of
operation will cut the largest figure.
No report OF the coal fields of Routt
county has ever done justice to the
extent of the coal measures. Hayden's
report being notoriously below the
facts, which Is not to be wondered at
when it is considered with what haste
h. had to make his survey.
Steamboat Springs is feeling the i'm
pulse OF the new ovder of things and
is growing rapidly, several new build
ings OF some Importance being project
cd for the summer. A brick yard Is
to be established here at once. The

100000 brick the first year, 100000
the second year and 2,o000oO the third
year
There promises to be "A lively de-
mand for the brick and several build

Work establishing the yard will begin
at once and it will be In operation at
the earliest practicable moment.
The stage comes In crowded nearly
every day and occasionally 1t Is nee
essary to bring in an extra vehicle TO
accommodate the travel. Everything
points to this heretofore isolated sec
tion of Colorado enjoying boom for
the next few years and will ultimately
be one OF the most important OF the
counties of the state.

DENVER. NORTHWESTERN AND PACIFIC RAILROAD
AND THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF COLORADO

Denver. June 14.-No recent article
upon Colorado has attracted more at
tention than the cne here quoted. writ
ten hy Thomas Tonge and published in
the United States Investor. Mr.. Tonge
says.
In northwestern Colorado and north
eastern Utah Is a territory exceeding
in area the combined areas of Vermont.
New Hampshire. Massachusetts, Rhode
Island Connecticut, Delaware and
New Jersey, which have combined
population of 100000. Such territory
northwest CT Denver also exceeds the
area OF PENNSYLVANIA. which has pop
ulation OF over 100000, but snrpasses
that state In the variety and import
ance of Its natural resources.
This vast area in northwestern Colo
RADIO and northwestern Utah is as yet
without n single mile of railroad, and
as a consequence has only a population
of about 10000. With the advent OF
railroad connection and the resulting
ordinary development of its natural re-
sources. this territory Is capable or
well maintaining, and Is inevitably des-
tined to have, within comparatively
limited number of years, a population
of at least 100000. There Is probably
no similarly rich territory of equal
area in the whole of the United States
without railroad.
Tne Denver, Northwestern & Pacific
Railroad Company has been organized
by David II. Moffat and associates of
Denver and will build railroad
through such virgin territory from
Denver TO Salt Lake, for n distance of
approximately 500 miles. being 235
miles less than by the Denver x Rio
a. .1.. hot nqnNar and
Salt Lake. reducing the present time
of travel required by the Rio Grande
route between the two cities by at
least ten hours.
The new railroad. shortly after leav-
ing Denver. enters Middle park, 10
which no railroad has ever been built,
and thence westward. The proposed
route for almost the entire distance Is
more than 100 miles north of the par
allel 'east and west Denver * Rio
Grande railroad through central Colo
RADIO. and more than 100 miles south
of the parallel east and west Union
Pacific railroad through southern wy

This country is expanding in every
direction. Statistics show that during
the year 1901. four-hfths of the freight
traffic on the North Atlantic came
from this country, that three-fourths
of the first-class passengers on the
steamships between this county and
Europe were Americans, and that half

The variety and Importance of the

of one coal field alone in northwestern

road. but which will be tapped by the
new railroad) as 40 square miles. with
an available gross tonnage of 5,961,-
