A sudden drop in temperature, fol-

autumn was not uncommon in this eli
mate, as | knew full well, and it was
usually serious matter to the farm
ers, whose fall crops were ruined and
many of whose cattle persisted; but
this year was destined to see such a
storm as had not been equaled in many
a decade.
The wind howled and whistled
through the trees and over the hill
tops and then, when a lull would come,
it was emphasized by the dull. heavy
moaning of the pines and hemlocks
far away in the distance beyond the
river. AT times | even thought could

MILLIoN.poLLAR GOLDEN CYCLE
MILL AT COLORADO CITY
ON FIRE.
A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION
TEN ACRES OF STRUCTURES
WIPED OUT IN ABOUT TWO
HOURS OF TIME.

Colorado Springs.-Following a ter
rife explosion In the roasting room.
the million-dollar Golden Cycle mill at
Colorado City was destroyed by fire
Wednesday morning. The loss will ap-
proximate $500, 900, with about $780,
900 insurance. Only the teaching room
and the transformer building were
saved, the flames licking up an area
of about ten acres of structures in less
than two hours. 1I
Although the origin of the fire has
not been definitely determined 1t Is
supposed to have been due to an OK
plosion of gas. At $3.50 o'clock the
roasters in the old part of the building
exploded and 1t is believed this was
caused by the accumulation of gas In
the fire boxes.
About twenty men were In this room
at the the time and 1t Is regarded as
marvellous that no one was hurt. Fred

Fifteen thousand tons OF ore was

any way the loss will not be great.
The seven roasters, all of which
we're in operation, were badly damages

were stationed and these have been
damaged probably beyond repair.

complishing the work mapped out for

He Travelled 1O9 miles straight back

ton of the Rockies and went up over
the Continental Divide and down
across the wooded slope on the west
into the forests of Middle Park.
He is making a complete collection
OF Colorado trees and SHRUBS IOr tne
herbarium at Stanford. He says that
the future lumber industry of Colorado
depends on judicious care of the for
ests and minimizing the danger OF
forest fire.
Three of Colorados most important
timber trees are common along the Moi
fat road, says Mr.. Richardson. The first
is the ball pine, commercially known
as the yellow pine. This is found up
to an elevation Of $500 feet. The
white pine hourishes on the western
slope. Technically 1t is known as the
lodge pole. With 1t is intermingled
the white spruce. Thousands OF rail-
road ties have been cut from this.
The government system of caring for
the ranges of Colorado has proved Of
considerable interest to Mr.. Richard
son. He says that only the trees that
are ripe and can be cut to the advan-
tage of the surrounding trees are re-
moved and that new trees are planted.
On private lands the trees are cut with
out discrimination and frequent fires

barren waste. which under natural con-
ditions would take hundreds OF years
to reforest.
All of these facts will be embodied

TO FIGHT BIG BEEF TRUST.
Independent Company Will Spend :
Million In Making Good.

Denver.-With the arrival of J. B.
Eddington, general manager of the
Schwartzschild & Sulzberger Packing
Company. the war between the big in
dependent concern and the beef trust
for division of the cattle and pack
ing industry of the West began in ear
nest. Denver is to be the center of
the big battle, and Eddington came
here prepared to spend a million dol
lars to offset the trust, otherwise
known as the National Packing Com
pany, and to keep the West open to
competition and an independent bust
ness.
In control of the Colorado Packing
Company and the Denver Stock Yards.
which were secured n little more than
a week ago, the National Packing Com
pany practically has the entire indus
try of this part of the country in Its
grasp. Realizing what this means to
them, the cattle raisers not only OF
Colorado, but of many of the surround
ing states have greeted the announce
ment of the Schwartzschild & Sulzber-
ger Company with joy, and already
many offers of support have been given
the Independent concern.
All that the Independent concern
now asks is support, and it promises
to make Denver the center of It's In
dustry and put plenty of money into
the pockets of It's people. Options have
been secured on several pieces of real
estate for prospective site for pack
ing plant. 1t is proposed to spend at
least $500. 900 on this plant. which will
be much larger than the one owned by
the National Packing Company. Ed
ington will spend some time in the
city-in fact he will stay here until
he accomplishes his mission. He will
call upon the Chamber of Commerce
and other commercial bodies of the
city as well as n number of capitalists
to get their support in the movement
for an open market and independent
business.
