The Denver dailies are filled with
special dispatches from all sections OF
Colorado telling of the lavish gifts OF
the people for the relief of San Fran
cisco. The following appear in Two
days issues:
Denver--A. ]. Spengel Of the Cham
ber of Commerce relief committee,
stated Wednesday night that the COM
mittee had all the money needed to
pay for the provisions which have been
sent to San Francisco If further funds
are required for additional supplies an
other appeal will be made later

Gil appropriated $50 to the San Fran
cisco relief fund and the following sub
scriptions were made today: Union
Bank, $50, Weld County Savings Bank,
$50; Greeley National Bank, S100,
and the First National Bank 800.
Kersey and Lucerne have each donated
carload of potatoes. The prospect is
good that two more carloads will be
donated by next Saturday.
Red Cliff.-This place has contrib
uted s10S.50 toward the fund for the re-
lief of the earthquake sufferers at San
Francisco. Kinnillinniok Circle No.
453, Women of Woodcraft voted s25
toward the fund. There are but forty
members of the circle and the dona-

made up by citizens.

the Elks, the Chamber of Commerce
and the Knights of Pythias today
raised $175 for the San Francisco,

World to-day telegraphed $50 to San
Francisco brethren.
Pueblo.-Nearly a quarter of mil
lion pounds of miscellaneous supplies
were sent from this city in the four car
| loads forwarded to the earthquake suf-
| ferers in the past four days. Much of
| this material was of kind to make
high value in small compass and
weight, and if Pueblo's contributions
had been made up in bulky objects it
would have required more than one
trainload to carry them to their desti-
nation.
Aspen.-Aspen rolled its California
relief fund up to 81 ,435 to-day with sew
eral mines, including the great Snug
| Ter, yet to be heard from. Several AS
pen people were among those who had

disaster, but none suffered seriously.

mossmeeting held here last evening
arrangements were made to give cub
stantial aid to the California destitute.
One thousand three hundred dollars
was collected to-day and nineteen
| boxes of clothing and a quantity of
bedding were shipped. The Golden
people who have friends and relatives
in the stricken city have received word
that all are safe.

and business men responded nobly.
Minimum car potatoes leave tonight;
another tomorrow night.
Silverton.-The committee which
was appointed by Mayor Melton to
gather funds for the San Francisco suf-
ferers began active work to-day and as
a result $1,000 was sent to the Denver
Chamber of Commerce tonight to
swell the relief fund. The city appro-
priated S100, the county a like sum,
and the First National Bank S100. The
remainder was made up of individual
subscriptions. In addition, the Wood
men of the World gave s100. Silver
ton will raise fully $1,000 in cash, and
this, after a winter of unprecedented
misfortune.
Montrose.-This city is responding
literally to the relief fund for the
earthquake sufferers in California A
carload of vegetables is being fur.
nished by farmers and will be ready

culated among the residents and 5000
has been raised, which sum will be
increased to at least $1,000.
Salida.-The City Council held spe-
cial meeting last night and acted upon
a petition signed by fifty representa-

earthquake sufferers. This is but the
commencement of the work here for
the San Francisco people.
Salida.-A trainload of refugees from
San Francisco passed through Salida
this afternoon. They stopped here for
dinner and about 250 people were fur
nished food by the city. These refu-
gees are being transported from the
coast to various parts of the country
free of charge.
Silverton.-Mr. and Mrs. Vincent
Moran and Mrs. Mary ]. Moran, mother
of the latter, who were until lately
residents of Denver and who have been
reported by the Denver papers as pos
sible victims of the San Francisco dis
aster, have written relative here that
al are safe, but undergoing great priva-
tions. Their home was burned and
they are now camping out and short
of food.

Chursh in this city made fifty-six
comforters yesterday and this morn
ing, getting them ready to send off with
the many other contributions in the
