GIFT TO SCHOOL OF MINES.
MIR. Gugscnheim Adds $4,000 to Fer
mer GIFTS.

Denver.-Simon Guggenheim has
made n third gift TO the Colorado
School OF Mines. amounting TO 100000.
His first gift of $4,000 was made
to the institution on February II. 1905.
Immediately thereafter the board OF
trustees of the school had plans pre-
pared for building to be known as
Simon Guggcnheim hall.
When estimates were received from
eleven contractors the smallest bid
amounted to $4,000 for the construc-
tion OF the building. The board find
ing that IL would be impossible to
erect building such as the institution
required TO cost less than this
amount. laid the situation before Mr..
GugSenheim. who instructed the
board to proceed with the construction
of the building upon the minimum bid
of the contractors and at once sent his
second contribution OF $4,000, making
n total of $4,000.
Mr.. Guggenheim recently visited the
school and was SO well pleased with
the appearance OF the building that
he advised the board that it was his
intention to furnish the building
throughout. When fully completed, the
building and equipments will surpass
in beauty and utility any strictly ad-
ministrative building belonging TO any
institution in the West. 1t is expected
that the formal dedication of the
building will occur next October.
Great enthusiasm was manifested
among the students of the School of
Mines and the people of Golden when
President Anderson announced this
third splendid gift from Mr.. Guggen-
helm. The various contributions en-
abled the board of trustees to con-
struct and equip the building through
out. with no expense to the state of

Baldwin was well known around the

years ago and has been employed by
various fruit growers as n laborer from

COMING TO COLORADO.
Land Offices Show Large Influx of
Settlers.

Denver.-One of the best evidences
Of the influx of people to Colorado is
found in the land offices in the state,
where entries are made by the new
comers upon public lands. Reports
from the offices in Denver, Lamar,
Hugo and Sterling, where the lands
are mostly adapted to agriculture,
show great increase in entries. The
number of entries in the Hugo Office,
which comprise the counties Of Lin
coin. Kit Carson and Cheyenne, how
average 200 a month. Mthe Lamor
district, covering Kiowa: Prowers,
Bent and Baca counties, the number
reaches 100 monthly. InS the Sterling
district, covering Logan, Washington,
Sedgwick, Phillips and part of Morgan
and Yuma counties. the number is
from 1875 to $50 every month. In the
Denver district, which covers the
counties north of Denver-Weld, Lari
mer and others--the number of entries
averages as high as $50 every month.
Most of the new population is COM
ing from the Dakotas, Iowa, Nebraska
and other states in the West and mid
die West. The success of dry-farming,
the cheapness of the lands and the
abundance of crops last year are the
causes for the influx.

COLORADO SUGAR.
Centennial State Leads the Nation in
Production.

Denver.-Colorado leads all the
states of the Union in the production
of beet sugar as 1t leads in the pro-
duction of gold.
Figures compiled by State Deputy
Labor Commissioner E. V. Brake tell
of the sugar industry of Colorado. The
statistics apply to the production of
sugar for the year 1905. Twelve fac
tories have been in operation, as fol-
lows: The American Beet Sugar Com
pany at Lamar and Rocky Ford; the
Western Sugar and Land Company at
Grand Junction. the Holly Sugar Com
pany at Holly; the National Sugar
Manufacturing Company at Sugar
City; the Great Western Sugar Com
pany at Eaton, Greeley. Windsor, Fort

The total capitalization Of these
companies is $24.2SS,O0O, the number
