Rubber in Colorado.

Colorado may become big rubber
producing state as the result Of an ac-
cidental discovery r. few days ago,
says the Denver News. 1t has been
found that rubber trees will grow in
this soil and the only thing now await
ing investigation is whether the rub
ber can be extracted and put on the
market on paying basis.
An agent of the Denver Rio
Grande railroad, residing nineteen
miles south of the city, has been both
cred considerably lately by wild
growth of shrubbery around his place.
1t continued to spread and nothing he
could do would stop its growth. At
last he sought relief here in Denver
and brought a number of samples of
the shrubbery to the city. These were
taken to Henry A. Riebling. assayer
and metallurgist for C. NJ. Fueller at
1850 California street. They bore
such a strong resemblance to the rub
ber plants of India and Mexico that an
effort was made to extract the raw
rubber from the roots. The result was
as expected and a number of samples
of pure rubber in the crude state were
obtained Another trial was made yes
terday and it was proven beyond any
doubt that it was a reproducing
shrub.

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
State Claimo Pueblo Lands.

Twenty-Five acres of land. worth
hundreds of thousands of dollars. and
lying in one of the principal residence
section of Pueblo, is claimed by the
Hard Land Company holds the prop
erty and is obtaining an enormous
revenue from it. The state land reg
lister claims that the company has no
title and will probably take the matter
into court.
Title to the property is claimed by
The land company under the laws Of
accretion. 1t is asserted by the land
register and by l.. r. Smith, appraiser
in the state land office, that these
statutes do not apply because the land
was not formed by the river through a
natural change in its course.
Discovery of the unusual case was
made as the result OF a complaint
from a man who lives in one of the
houses on the land. An effort was
made to eject him. He ascertained
that the land is the property of the
state and rent could not be collected
by the company. Then he notified the
state land office of the situation.
Appraiser Smith obtained the facts
upon which the state will make a de-
mand for possession. He has not yet
completed his Investigations. The con
ditions make the case one of the most
unusual in the history of the state and
one that is liable to cause long legal
battle.
In 1887 the head of this land COM
pany, Mr.. Hard. obtained five acres
for which he secured title in 1889.
AS described this plot included FIVE
acres, more or less. and was bounded
on the north by the then city limits
and on the south by the Arkansas
river. This tract is now part of the
holdings of the company.
A number of years later the state
built levee. which was extended by
the city. This changed the course of
the river. 1t left the old bed high and
dry and virtually created more than
twenty-five acres of land. This land
was sQuatted upon and later was
taken possession of by the company
on the grounds that the river was the
south boundary of its holdings.
Now the company holds more than
twenty-five acres in addition to the
five acres originally purchased from
the state, and for which $1,000 was
paid twenty years ago. The land is
situated between Elizabeth and Fran
cisco streets and between the Santa
Fe bridge and Greenwood streets. 1t
is cut up into town lots and most of
it is occupied by houses.
Rentals of s5 to SIS per month have
been collected on each of these lots.
Some of them are rented as ground
space while others have been i'm
proved by the company. In this man
ner very large revenue has been OBJ
tanned for many years. The land was
part of school section. Another
claim that is made on behalf of the
state is that it has the right to the
ground because 1t owned the river bed
which il was originally.
1t is held that the fact that the land
was created by artificial means gives
the state the sole claim. Under the
laws of accretion the adjoining proper
ty owners gain through the gradual
formation of land through the actions
of river or stream.

to be decidedly picturesque and inter
esting.

"A Gamblers Daughter"

"A Gamblers Daughter ONE to

2lst. 1t is the latest melo-drama from
the skillful and talented pen of Owen
Davis, the author of several other high
ly successful melo-dramas, including
Lost in the Desert" Through the
Breakers" etc, etc. The new piece is
most deliberately staged, and equipped
with a much greater amount of new
and beautiful scenery than is ordinar-
lily used in the production of such
plays. A fine company of the best
players to be obtained comprises the
cast, and the many exciting scenes
and startling climaxes as the interest
ing plot develops are wildly portray
ed.
The plot hinges on a dastardly con-
spiracy Matched against the heroine
who is wealthy in her own right and
whose father is the owner of an ultra
fashionable and exclusive Michigan
Avenue gambling palace. as well as
being a prominent Board of Trade man.
The part of the gamblers daughter
is taken by the well known, clever and
talented leading woman, Miss Lillian
Hayward. In the cast are such foot
light favorites as Camilla Crume.
