lutions. AS thus amended the resolution
was adopted.

fore the Senate and Bacon took the Hoor

4 VISIT TO BESSEMER
Tenderfoot Tells Of the Great Col
orado Iron Works.

AS it was my good fortune to spend
a day in Pueblo, Colo, recently,
thought some of the things seen
might interest your readers. AS the
portion Of Pueblo saw was quite a
common place town, will tell espe-
cially of the plant of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company, situated in a
suburb about two and a half miles
out, and known as Bessemer. TAX
ing the electric car at Pueblo we
cross the Arkansas river and pass
out through very nice suburban
country and find ourselves coming to
a small town.
One or two large stores "a number
of smaller ones, residences, and the
inevitable saloons. At one side of
this were several larger and better
buildings and beyond them a high
bridge without any sign Of river,
and the smokestacks and the cupolas
that mark the place for some indus
trial works, and surrounded by a
high fence that says stay away. Not
discouraged, however, we approach the
larger buildings, which are the ofic'
es, and quite handsome outside and
almost palatial within, and after some
inquiry for the proper official and
waiting for a very busy man to get a
moments leisure, we finally find op-
portunity and after answering several
questions, giving name, residence,
etc., and vowing not to talk to the
hands (they are mostly foreigners)
or to interfere with their work, we
are finally presented with magic
slip of paper, and started once more
for the works.
Every man in the works owns and
carries small brass check bearing
his number, and so rigid. is theft
guard that even the friends of a work
ingman bringing his lunch could not GO
through the gate by any means but
would have to be met by the work
man himself.
