coming to Denver. He is a practical
packer, having Il complete knowledge
of every branch of the business Sc
cured by actual experience. He will be
the geenral manager of the new COM
pany.
Mr.. Gerald Hughes is one of the
prominent young attorneys of the city
and handles tile business of some of
the largest corporations in the West.
He is n son of Mr.. @. j. Hughes, .Ir.
Mr.. Claud Boetcher Is II son of Charles

young financiers of the West. He is in
terested in number of successful
ventures here and In the East.
These are the men who have under
taken to solve the packing proposition
lOT lJeuNeT anu lue NeSt- lHty are
backed with an unlimited amount of
capital and propose to push the busi-
ness to the fullest extent TO which it is
capable of being developed. The Un-
ion Stock Yards Company of Denver
has made liberal donauon of ground
upon which to erect the plant and, 1t
Is understood, will also give a bonus
to the new company, and in return the
new company pledges itself TO provide
slaughter facilities for all the live stock
that can be broughtsto this market.
Mr.. Cahill leaves for the East imme-
dintely to place orders for the machin-
cry necessary and the contract of the
new company with Stock Yards Com
pany calls for the commencement of
work within thirty days, and the COM
pletion of the plant and commencement
of operations within ten months. The
old packing plants at. the yards,
known as the B. X NJ. plant and the
Platte Valley plant, will be torn down
Immediately and the new buildings
will be erected upon the site, which is
close to the Exchange building at the
west end of the yards. While the
plans for the buildings have not been
completed, the main plant will consist
to start with, of two large building,
25Ux125 feet each, with other building
adjoining for the use of boilers, refriS-
Grating plants, etc. The cost of the
plant to start with will not be less than
S25O,OOO, and will probably reach
$500 900, as no expense will be spared
to make 1t complete modern plant
with a capacity for 800 cattle, 1850
hogs and 500 sheep daily. This ca
pacity will be increased as rapidly as
necessary. The plant will have every
lit f,f ln n
ucts and will give employment for
from 700 to 1000 men at the start.
The organization of this new COM
pany means that at last Denver is to
become a live stock center of import
nnce. The new company is backed eX-
clusively by Colorado capital, has no
connection whatever with the big
trust packers of the East, and is finan-
cally able to carry the enterprise
without assistance to n successful ter
! mination. The size of its operations
will only be limited by the number of
cattle, sheep and hogs that can be Sc
cured for this market. The company
has every assurance of an ample mar
ket for the products of the plant and
will Mt once order it's own line of re-
| frigerator cars and will soon relieve
the big eastern packers combination
of the duty of supplying the West
with fresh meat and packing house
| products. 1t is believed that within a
very short time it will be possible to
| supply the whole West with these
products, and that this no small task
may be appreciated when 1t is stated
that the field supplied from Denver is
regarded by eastern packers as the
largest and best field they have west
| of Chicago.
Will the eastern packer quietly sub
nit to this curtailment of their field
This is question that only the future
! can answer They were given every
