COLORADO RUBBER
COrlPANY FORMED
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. n o

Colorado Springs. Colo, Feb. O.
Denver. Colorado Springs and eastern
capitalists are interested in the forma-
tion of a rubber company. for the pur-
pose of utilizing the newly discovered
Colorado rubber plant" the name
given to the commodity by the United
States bureau in charge of such af-
fairs.
The American Crude Rubber Com
pany was organized to-day in the of
fees of the Portland Gold Mining Com
pany. The capital stock is fixed at
81 100000. divided into 10000 shares Of
a par value of S100 each. The incor-
porators are Frank G. Peck OF this
city and f. Il. Marsh and NJ. C. Brown
ell of Denver, who will also serve as
directors for the first year. together
with C. V. Turner and WI. Chinn, both
of Colorado Springs. These gentlemen,
together with eastern capitalists, are
financing the project. Messrs. Peck
and Turner are closely connected with
the Portland company, the former be-
ing secretary and treasurer of the or
ganization. He is also a brother-in-
law of ]. f. Burns, president and prac-
tical owner of the company. Mr.. Chinn
is a member of the local law firm of
Gunnell, Chinn & Miller.
Large plants will be erected in Colo
rado Springs and Denver soon. Spe-
clal machinery will be made for the
purpose of manufacturing commercial
rubber out OF the plant
The rubber plant is found to be pc
culiarly adapted to high attitudes. Ac-
cording to tests made in the laborato-
ries of Colorado College. where the
plant was first taken for examination,
IL was found to contain Ills per cent.
lpure rubber, this proportion including
the entire plant, roots and flower. Lat
er tests at Denver proved that even
inferior plants run ten per cent. rub
Der.
The quality is good, ranking with the
average grades, and bearing the pro-
portion of 10 to 100 to the finest quail
ity of imported rubber. The demand
is practically unlimited.
The plant resembles sagebrush. and
is commonly known as rabbit brush
1t grows about sixteen inches high and
has an equal proportion of root and
top. The root contains the greater
percentage of pure rubber. The plant
bears a small yellow blossom. grows
from the seed, and dies after two
years.
The company has obtained patents
from the United States and other gov.
ernments.
