Mr., Frank c. Kendarick. manager OF
the kendrick & Gelder Smelling com
pany, has Just returned from a several
weeks trip spent in the east. Mrs.
kendrick accompanied him to New
York. where he went on business con.
nected with his company in regard to
contracting and settlements of the
product OF his company's smelter. In
speaking of New York Mr.. Kendrick
said Il hardly thought 1t necessary
to telegraph ahead for rooms at this
time of the year. but when we arrived
at the Wadorf-Astoria, where our
people generally stop when in New
| York. the largest and finest hotel in
the world, they had no vacant rooms
excepting those ranging from $25 to
| $50 per day room or suite. They are
turning away lots of people unable to
| give them rooms. We then went to
the Imperial. couple of blocks dis
tant on Broadway and found that
house also turning away people. We
then drove to the Grand at the corner
of 3lst and Broadway and that hotel
had only two rooms with baths. Mrs.
Hendricks brother and sister-in-aw
were with the party. We occupied
these rooms for the next three weeks
in a very central location in or near
|
where more people pass the hotel. or
within two blocks. every day than
there are in the entire state of Colo
RADIO Mrs Kendrick will remain in
the east, where our children are at
school, for the remainder of the win
ter. Mr.. Kendrick said he would con-
tinue the development of the mines OF
his company and that they will get
the tramway and the reduction com
pany mill in operation as early as they
can handle both the milling and smelt
ing product of the mines. and he ex
poets next season to ship enough ore
| which with the custom ores will keep
the smelter running to it's full capaci

no actual violence was done him. Yes

rived in the city to investigate th'
case and four men supposed to be i'm
plicated in the affair were arrested
There We're several hangers-on abou
Matties' place but ii is doubtful TO

seem to think that there is a race wa
