People prejudiced against proprietary
medicines viii no doubt belittle this
cure as much as possible, but Mr.. Lock
hart and his family and his neighbort
believe that the statements recited here
IN have perfect foundation.
Peruna has been doing much good IN
relieving untold cases of catarrh rld
catarrhal diseases in the United States,
as well as in other sections of the world
a great many prominent men and
women know by experience that Pc.
runa has special virtues in relieving
catarrhal affections Of the stomach and
digestive organs, but, Of course, It does
not happen every day that so desperate
case as Mr.. Lockhart's comes to pub
lie notice.
Proof Of Pe-ru-na's Merit.
The fact that he had tried so many ply
sicians-the fact that he had spared nc
pains or expsnse-had been examined
by experts-had been treated by special
ists-had passed through all kinds Of
experimentation and manipulation and
yet received no beneft-and then, after
all this had happened, he quietly begins
to take Peruna and finds prompt relief
and permanent cure-these facts are
much too important and startling TO
escape the notice of the ever-vigilant
public press.

coIorado's Fame Spreading.

Colorado has GG,500,000 acres of
land. and only 100000 acres are un-
der cultivation of any kind There are
25,50O farms and ranches in the state
of Colorado. With her agricultural
exhibition at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition held at St. Louis in 1904,
the state of Colorado captured GIG
prizes and medals. These GIG prizes
were out of total of 7G7 prizes of all
kinds granted to the state in depart
ments of industry. AT the Lewis and
Clark Exposition at Portland. held in
the summer just past. 1905. the Colo
rado agricultural exhibition received
2G5 gold, 143 silver, sixty-nine bronze
medals. and forty-four honorable men,
tions. The appropriation for the pur-
pose was very small and the exhibi-
ton was composed of scientifically
selected collection of dried grains and
grasses
The Springfield herald., 1906-01-05
Northern Colorado Potatoes.

The potato crop of northern Colo
RADIO for 1905 is estimated at 10000
carloads, which is twenty-five per cent.
less than that of last year. which ex-
ceeded in quantity all previous potato
crops in this section. While this
years crop is 1000 carloads short of
the crop of last year, in all probability
it will bring seventy-five per cent.
more to its growers than did the 1904
crop, twenty per cent. of which was
lost for want of market, while much
of the crop brought prices far less
than the actual cost of production.
1t is safe to say that this years crop
represents s2,O00,O0O and there is n
prospect of an advance in price before
the crop is sold adding a half-million
to this. The crop is of superior quail
ity and the potatoes of uniform size,
smooth and fully matured, and conse-
quently they will keep well.
This fall a few of the growers, who
have no convenient place to store their
potatoes, sold from the field. receiving
from 60 cents TO 81 a hundred pounds,
clearing from % cents to CO cents a
hundred. Many stored their crop. CON
fident that the market price, which is
now 20 cents a hundred. viii advance
in the spring and that they will be
amply repaid for the increased labor
of storing which always necessitates
resorting before the potatoes are
placed on the market
The crop was 1000 carloads more
than was anticipated. Heavy rains fol
lowed by hot weather packed the sol.
in the spring and prevented normal
growth at that time. Blight attacked
the vines later However the abun-
dance of water, the absence of hail and
the long growing season counteracted
these drawbacks.
In the states of Wisconsin, Michi-
gan, Illinois and Iowa, whose potato
crops compete with that of Colorado,
the yield was below normal and of in
ferior quality, which assures the Colo
RADIO farmer of a steady demand and a
coed market.
The Springfield herald., 1906-01-05
coLcRAoo's OIL PRODUCTION.

Coiorados oil output during the year
1905 amounted to 35,000,000 gallons OF
crude oil. or 100000 gallons OF re-
fined oil.
The production OF the Florence oil
fields amounts to between $4,000 and
100000 gallons of crude oil per day, or
between 10000 and 3o,0Gp gallons of
the refined product. Many new wells
are being sunk in this district, and
the indications are that the output will
be greatly increased, as the supply
seems practically ineXhaustible.
Boulder county is the second oil
county in the state, and produced about
one-third as much oil as the Florence
fields. There is a small independent
refinery at Boulder which handles
about one-fourth of the crude output.
The remainder is sent to the Florence
refinery, which plant is controlled by
the oil trust.
Routt county, in the northwestern
part of the state, has many good oil
prospects, but the fact that the crude
oil would have to be carted in wagons
for great distance makes 1t unprofit-
able to work these fields. The Moffat
road, now being built from Denver to
Salt Lake City, will open this section
of the state, and the prospects will be
converted into producing wells as soon
as the railroad is completed far enough
to handle the crude article.

Great Gunnison Tunnel.

Colorado in the past year. has seen
the beginning of what will be the
greatest irrigation project in the state,
in the Uncompahgre valley. The most
important feature of this work will be
the Gunnison tunnel, the longest and
most wonderful of its kind in the coun-
try and probably in the world.
In all. S2,500,00O has been allotted for
the Uncompahgre work. of which more
than 81 .OO0O will be expended in the
tunnel. The latter is now driven one
and one-fourth miles through the heart
of the Rocky mountains. the bore
piercing gravel, shale, adobe and gran
ite.
1t will be 10000 feet long and nat
ural difficulties apparently insurmount-
able will have to be overcome before
it is complete, which is expected to be
in the fall of 1908. When this magnifi-
cent engineering feat is accomplished,
and it is now progressing in way
that indicates it will be finished in ac-
cordance with the most sanguine ex-
pectations, it will reclaim for Colo
RADIO a territory of from 100000 to $780,
900 acres of land.

Mining Notes.

Boulder county is developing some
fine mineral mines and outputted ore
to the value of $1,000.000.
The production of the United States
Zinc Company at Pueblo for the year
was 6,5i4 tons of metallic zinc, valued
at s752,56O.
The zinc production of the state for
the year is valued at S4,105,30 The
output for 1904 was valued at $3,564-
$40.
During the year the Camp Bird mine
at Ouray yielded its owners profit
of $1,75O,0O0. Thomas F. Walsh re-
ceived in royalties this year $36S,475.
Ouray county's ore production for
the year was worth $3,327 900. Great
tunnel enterprises near Ouray prom
Use big increase in the ore production
for the new year.
Clear Creek and Gilpin counties
come up smiling again this year with
over $6,O0O.00O product in the precious
metals. They have been mined for
over forty years and have not as yet
been scratched.
San Juan mines increased their out
put last year about twelve per cent.
Many milling enterprises are being un-
dertaken near Silverton and one Of
the largest power plant projects in the
state is approaching completion. Ii
will supply light and power to many
mines.
Lake county still holds its place for
heavy production since it was opened
as a camp. In twenty-six years it has
produced S32S,457,146 worth of pre-
cin,c rnatnlc This VAR II nIttrt,,tc
224.0O0 worth. Pretty boomy sort of
camp for an old-timer.
The American Smelling and Rein
ing Company treated at its five Colo
RADIO smelters the enormous amount of
1,23G,000 tons of ore. In 1904 the ton
mage was 1.l33,000. The mills of the
United States Reduction and Refining
Company treated 29S,00O tons of ore
The metal ore tonnage of the state
now closely approaches the 2,000,0 ,00r
mark.

Stock Feeding in Colorado.

The stock feeding industry in Colo
RADIO has made wonderful advancement
during the past few years, but in no
previous year has the advancement
been so marked as in the year just
ended. The phenomenal advance in
sheep values and the consequent great
profits made by feeders has given an
impetus to the feeding business that
promises to last. Last year 1t Is esti-
mated tkat close to a million sheep
and lambs were turned out of Colorado
feed lots. 1t is believed that during
the present season the number will
exceed 100000. The profits last sea-
son to the feeders was close to $2,000,-
900. During the coming season 1t Is
hoped that the profits will be as large,
but the increased price paid for the
sheep and lambs on the range, makes
this problematical. Thus far, cond!-
tions in the feed lots have been ideal.
Prices on the market are higher theh
ever and give every promise of contin-
uing. If they do. the profits will be
fully as large as last year.
The greatest advance in sheep feed
ing has been In the San Luis valley.
A year ago the number of sheep on
feed in that section was estimated at
10000. This year 1t is more than dou-
BILE that number. The effort now being
made to provide market in Denver
for all the sheep fattened In the state
will still further boom this branch of
the feeding business. as one of the
greatest drawbacks to the business
has been the long distance to market
which causes heavy shrinkage and
a deterioration in the value of the ami.
ma. for slauehtering.

COLORADO MINING DIVIDENDS.

Boulder County Product.

Boulder county's mining industries
expanded during the last five months.
The mines near jamestown are con
stant shippers. as are those of Spring
dale, Rowena, Sunshine, Gold Hill, Sd
lima, Magnolia. Ward Eldora. Arapa-
hoe Peak. Crisman. Wall street and
the Sugar Loaf sections. In all OF
these the owners of the mines are do
ing well, as are the leasers, as many
of the mines are conducted on the
leasing basis.
A careful estimate of the gold out
put alone places the yield for 1905 at
upwards of 100000.
The tungsten deposits in this county,
which have been exposed, are i'm
portant. A careful Investigation
places the tungsten output at 100000.
so that the gold and tungsten yield OF
this county for 1905 will total about
Sl.OOO,0OO While the mining of pre-
cions metals is confined principally to
gold and tungsten, some silver is be-
ing shipped and if the price of silver
goes much higher many properties now
idle will be worked and will add to
the output of precious metals.
The Springfield herald., 1906-01-05

one OF the largest crops of potatoes
in northern Colorado was grown by A.
B. McClave on the George Adams
ranch, forty miles east of Greeley, near
Grover. Fifteen thousand sacks of po-
tatoes were taken from 120 acres. forty
acres of which yielded 220 sacks an
acre.
The 8. l.. and w. ranch, nine miles
east of Greeley. yielded 10000 sacks of
potatoes from 800 acres. In the Lone
Tree district. seven miles east OF Gree.
ley, Peter Brown, Jr.. harvested 1900
sacks from seventy acres. NJ. Johnson's ;
potatoes went 125 sacks to the acre,
and F. A. Bronson dug 5000 sacks
from 30 acres in the same section. S.
f. Robb harvested l25 sacks an acre
and d. E. White, three miles west of
Greeley, gathered 150 sacks from each
of forty acres.
This year there were three harvests
of potatoes. First came the Early
Ohios. gathered in July and grown
near Pecl.ham. La Sale and Big Bend,
where the sandy soil develops an early
crop. Late in the summer, blight
killed the vines in some sections.
which caused the tubers to ripen and
the digging of these made the second
harvest.
The blighted potatoes were not as
large as they would have been had
they grown three weeks longer. but
they were of fair size and god quaGtss
and brought profitable prices

Colorado's Wheat Yield.

Three hundred thousand acres of
wheat, yielding an average of twenty
eight bushels to the acre, is the esti-
mated product in that great cereal for
Colorado the past year. The estimates
are made at the Agricultural college
from such data as they have been able
TO secure. This is a total of S,40O, 900
bushels. An average price for wheat
was So cents on December 18th, and
this gives a total value to the crop of
s7,140,000.
