to cost $4,000, and a steam laundry
plant that will call for an expenditure
of $1,000, will be established. In ad

Attorney General Miller has been ad-
vised by Attorney General G. c. Cole
man of Kansas that the taking of tes-
timony in the Kansas-Colorado water
rights case will begin at Wichita Aug
ust 18th. 1t has been hoped to set the
hearing at later date owing to the
fact that all of the Colorado evidence
has not been procured but the Colorado
attorneys will accommodate themselves
to the edict and the hearing will pro-
ceed on that date before the referee,
Judge Richardson OF New Mexico.
The Colorado treasury is to be fur
ther enriched by a second oil well sunk
by the Blaney oil. Gas and Refining
| Company of Florence. The new well
already has a fow of 100 barrels per
day, giving apiiKome of about $40 a
day. The first wSil sunk by this COM
pany pays the state royalties amount
ing from $50 to S25 per day at the pres
ent time. Register Woodruff Of the
land board is greatly pleased with the
success of the wells in that vicinity.
He says still third well will be put
into operation soon,
Frank S. Tesch, deputy superi4tend-
ent of insurance, is carefully watching
the operation Of numerous wildcat in
surance companies thought to be doing
business in Colorado recently. One OF
these concerns wrote policy for
George Richardson of Sugar City on
some property he owned in New Mexi-
co. The buildings insured were burned
and Richardson has been unable to col
lect the money duelhim. Owing to the
fact that the property was located in
New Mexico MY. Tesch has been unable
to do anything in the matter. An agent
of the company formerly made his
headquarters In Trinidad. S. w. jacobs
and Z. A. Shanklin. two managers OF
insurance companies which are sup
posed to have done considerable busi-
ness in this state were recently ar
rested in Chicago, and are being held
on $4,000 bonds to the federal grand
jury, which will meet in October,
The first decisive step toward the
| erection of the new 6iditorium for
Denver was taken on the 30th ult when
/ the committee on grounds and public
| buildings of the Board of Supervisors
and similar committee of the alder
men met at the city hall in joint ses-
sion for the purpose of perfectng ar
| rangements for receiving bids for the
| site, Mayor Speer was present during
the greater part of the deliberations.
| The two committees were called to or.
| der by Supervisor Smith. who was later
chosen permanent chairman of the
| joint committee. with Alderman Ma
honey, secretary. Following the organ
| ization the committee took up the Ques-
ton of the site for the auditorium. and
after considerable discussion II was de-
cided that the ground surface should
not be less than 2GG feet by 200 to 300
feet This means an area of from six
1
frontage OF moi less than 200 feet or
more than 800 feet. extending back 10
/ n depth OF 2GG feet. The sentiment
seemed 10 be that the auditorium
should be located down town. No site
was mentioned by the committeeman.
An opinion that will have a great ef.
fect on foreign corporations doing
business in Colorado was handed down
by Attorney General Miller July 27th.
In the matter OF the Oakland Gold
Mining Company OF Wyoming. The
opinion means that any mining com.
pany or other corporation that fails to
file articles of Incorporation with the
secretary of state as demanded by the
law governing such companies cannot
hold any mining property In the state
and lays itself liable to having the
property confscated. The Oakland
Gold Mining Company has several
mines In the Ward district. Some
time ago the report was made 10 the
secretary OF states office that the com.
pany was selling It's stock and con.
ducting business without having filed
It's articles OF Incorporation. Neither
had the company been paying any
fiat tax. Secretary OF State Cowle at
once brought the matter to the notice
OF Attorney General Miller and re-
quested his opinion regarding the
question.
