CoIorado's Progress.

The plodding farmer may be slow,
but In the end, In his race with other
lines OF industry that seem to hold
out brighter promises. he always
seems to come out az did the patient
tortoise In his race with the hare.
The latest illustration Of this comes
from Colorado, . state which only a
few years ago was daIzing the world
with the richness Of .ts gold and silver
mines.
The annual review Of C0lorado's
progress show that In 1905 the state
produced the greatest amount Of gold
Of any year In Its history, a total Of
S29, 900 900. But In the same year
the grain and potatoes. hay and other
produce from potatoes, hay and other
gated more than $4,000, 900 In value
Silver was higher In value than FOL
several years, and the production Of
this metal In Colorado rose to 81,
00O, 900, but the combined product oil

the orchards and sugar beet patches
beat the total OF silver by 1880, 900.
Five million dollars worth Of lead was
marketed, which Is just about equal
to the value of the fat lambs shipped.
The whole value Of the product of the
metalliferous mines OF the state was
@4S, 200, 900. The products Of the
farm aggregated o than 100000
900.
More money Is being invested In
agricultural projects In Colorado thai
in the development Of mines. Reser
voirs and canals originally planned
for placer mining have been diverted
to irrigation, and the next few years
seem likely to see the era Of highly
productive farming lands in the state
more than doubled. The man with
te hoe seems to have secured q start
over the man with the hammer and
drill, winch the latter will never be
able to overcome, unless some very
remarkable new discoveries Of mines
are made.
