smelling business. This has occupied
nearly half OF my life as u citizen Of
this state.
Fortunately. the nature Of my bBsi.
ness has given me opportunities TO
appreciate wha, was most needed Ia
develop the great mineral resources OF
Colorado. This In The work which is
being done by our School Of Mines,

good all of them are doing, but
the School OF Mines particularly 80. :a
many of its graduates have worked

fiuential of it's kind In this country
