The Central Colorado Co. officials
decline TO give out details on the sub
ject of the RioGrande's plans, but it is
not denied that officials of the rail-
road company have asked for data and
figure with a view of electrifying at an
early day at least one division. An es-
innate OF the cost and detailed infor-
nation has been furnished the rail-
road by the electric company.
Leonard E. Curtis, of Colorado
Springs, president of the Central Col
.orado Power company, says:
The matter has been discussed and
we have furnished the Rio Grande
with data bearing on it"
Railroad men generally recognize
the feasibility of supplanting steam
with electricity. and l believe that the
'electrifcation of many railroads will
come about within the next ten years.
1t is large undertaking and one re-
quiring much consideration, but the
railroads of Colorado are all interest
ing themselves in the problem and
carefully looking into it.
Il think the officials of the Rio
Grande are wide-awake men and real
ize the Importance of electricity as a
motive power. and it is true that we
have gone into the matter with them y
From source in close touch with
conferences of Rio Grande officials
and the Central Colorado Power COM
pany, it has been learn ed that the
railroad will probably follow the meth
ods of the New York Central in the
Ielectrification of its road. 1t will eN-
pertinent first probably between Den
yer and Pueblo. The difficulty of stat
ing the exact cost that such a change
would entail is apparent on the face of
things but the electriflcation of the
Rio Grande system would not cost less
than s10,OOo,oO0.
1t is figured that it would take
about two years to electrify the en-
/ tire Denver & Rio Grande system. II
the company begins preparing for this
change Immediately, it could be ready
to operate with electricity between
Pueblo and Denver within year, or

er company is ready to furnish power

came to Colorado Springs in the year
1871.
Out of some $50 species of birds re-
corded from the state of Colordo, Mr.
Aiken's collection contains about $50
species and is very probably by far
the most complete that has ever ben
made, so far as Colorado is concerned
The collection illustrates in many of
the species variations due to sex, age,
season and locality, and some of the
most important reports written on the
birds of Colorado have been based on
the specimens in this collection. 1t
is, of course, of the greatest import
ance that such a collection as this,
the life work of one of our greatest
authorities on the birds of Colorado,
shuld be kept intact and deposited in
some public institution in Colorado,
and it is particularly fitting that this
depository should be in Colorado
Springs, with which place Mr.. Aiken
has been connected for so many years.
General Palmer's far-reaching gem
crosby has made this possible Under
the arrangements made, Mr.. Aiken will
prepare for exhibition at the Colo
RADIO College museum set of Colorado
birds while the bulk of the collection
will remain in the form of study
series stored in cabinets for the use
OF students of natural history.

]. d. HAWKINS OF COLORADO
SPRINGS ELECTED PRESIDENT

At the recent annual meeting of the
board OF directors of the United States
Reduction and Refining company In
New York City ]. d. Hawkins OF Col
orado Springs was elected president
of the corporation. Previous to that
time Mr.. Hawkins was general man
ager and had been connected with the
company in some capacity or other
ever since its organization in 1901. He
has devoted himself assiduously to the
affairs of the company and competent
authorities say that no small degree
of its success is due to his efforts.
Since last September the company
has been without president, Charles
l.. Tut resigning from the presidency
at that time. c. NJ. MacNeill was vice
president. but he has since taken no
active part in the company's AFFAIRS.

PROBABLY TO
SUPPLANT STEAM ON u. 4 r. G.

Consideration is being given by the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad COM
pany TO the plan of supplanting the
steam with electricity as motive pow
er. Rio Grande officials have been fur
nished with data and estimates by the
Central Power company, which will
utilize the waters of the Grand river
for power through the medium of a
plant being built in Gore canon. and
the mater has been gone into in thor
ough form. The general plan of the
New York Central is to be followed
out in making the change. One divis-
ion, probably that between Denver and
Pueblo. will be first electrified as a
test. The balance of the system will
be quickly converted to the new meth
cd if Il proves a success.
The movement of the Rio Grande is
undoubtedly simply the first step in
the full development of Colorado's en-

CAPITAL FOR DEVELOPMENT
NEED OF SPAULDlNG DISTRICT

Capital to be used for the devel
opment of the ore bodies already un-
covered w',l turn the new Spaulding
regien into gold-producing district
which In few years will be second to
none in the country" This is the op-
timistic view of conditions in the north
eastern part of Custer county, taken
by A. ]. Holesworth and J. D. Mahoney
two successful prospectors who have
been in the Spaulding region since
early last fall when IL was first an
nounced that gold had been discovered
there In considerable quantities. The
Messrs. Holesworth and Mahoney were
in Pueblo on business and were dis
playing some of the real stun" tken
from the properties which have been
opened up during the winter months.
"One of the most encouraging indi-
cations declared Mr.. Holesworth, "is
the fact that he ore in this region Is
found In well defined veins. In the
work done so far there has been no
indication that the veins would pinch
out 1t is the opinion of those famil-
lar with conditions in the new camp
that with moderate amount of cap
ital for development work there are
fully score OF properties that can be
easily turned into paying mines" In
substantiating this statement he ex-
hiblted numerous samlpes of ore taken
from the various prospects in that re-
glon and stated that while none of the
ore was taken out at greater depth
than ten or twelve feet, returns from
assays showed that they carried gold
In values ranging from sl2 to $500.

]. Q. Macdonald, who has been in
charge of the mill at Florence and has
been next to Mr.. Hawkins in the man
agement of the company's business,
will, it is thought, soon be appointed
general manager to succeed Mr.. Haw-
kins.
The United States Reduction and
Refining company has been in opera
ton nearly six years, and is engaged
in the extraction of gold and other
precious metals from ores, obtained
chiefly from the Cripple Creek dis
trict, from Utah, Arizona, New Mexico
and Mexico. Its plants have a capa-
city for handling 100000 tons of ore
per annum- 1t has an annual output
of gold bullion of from $4,000, 900 to
s9,000,000.
The capital of the company is s10.-
900, 900, in s6,0O0,000 of common stock
and 100000 of preferred per cent
non-cumulative stock. Its income for
the last fiscal year, ended August l,
showed a total income of s701 1873, and
after payment of all expenses, interest
on bonds and s236.74S in dividends on

The Highland Cemetery association.
composed OF the mayors of Florence,
Coal Creek. Rockvale and Williams
burg, and Senator McCandless. met in
the town hall of Coal Greek Monday
afternoon and discussed improvements
contemplated for the burial grounds.
Among the other things that were up
before the meeting was the securing
of water for irrigatinE. and planting
beautiful shade trees.
a committee OF Mayor Ross, of Will
liamsburg. Mayor Lewis, of Rockvale
and Senator McCandless was appoint
ed to look into the matter, within the
next few days. and to make a report'to
the association probably within the
next week. The entire association is
in favor of the grounds being beauti-
fed although no grass will be planted
this year as the association has not
enough money in the treasury at this
time to 20 to so much expense, as the
trees alone will cost considerable mon
ey. Mayor Ross worked for Dali De-
weese of Canon City some time ago
and knows much about the kind of
trees that would be best adapted or
that soil. He will make a trip over to
Lincoln Park in few days to look the
matter up,-Flornce Tribune.

During the past few weeks several
mining capitalists have visited the
camp" said Mr.. Holesworth, and have
been so favorably impressed with the
existing conditions and the present
shwoings that several of them are now
making arrangements to become inter-
ested in the Spaulding camp and devel-
op some of the properties. What we
need in Spaulding is more money for
development No one interestedin the
camp at the present time is trying to
dispose of an uncertain proposition on
an investor. What we want is for the
people to come and see what we have
and from their own judgments regard
ing the advisability of making invest
ments Though the camp is only
few months old the visitor can secure
comfortable accommodations for his
stay and will be given every assistance
possible by the residents of the camp
in seeing what the district has to offer.

WILL ENDEAyOR To STOCK
STATE WITH PHEASANTS

Ii W. F. Kendrick of Denver has
his way there will be half million
pheasants in Colorado within the next
five or six years and pheasant shooting
will be popular sport with our MIN
rods Mr.. .Kendrick has spent small
fortune in importing pheasants from
foreign lands and he is now endeavor-
ing to have the state stocked with
them.
David Farr, the state game and fish
commissioner, has agreed to stock
aviaries at the fish hatcheries with the
birds. The eggs and birds will be sup
piled by Mr,Kendrick and all expenses
OF the experiment will, for the time
being, be paid by him.
Sixty pheasants from large pre-
serve in New Jersey were received by
Mr.. Kendrick in one day last week
and several hundred more for perma-
nent exhibition in the city park are
expected to arrive very soon. A pheas-
antry will be established near Denver
in short time and the four hundred
birds at city park will be taken there
and raised under the direction of the
State Agricultural college.
Mr. Kendrick will pay all the
expenses in connection with the work.
He is now negotiating for land near
Denver to use as site for the pheas-
antry. which will be one of the best
in the United States.
Mr.. Kendrick proposes to keep .
large number of pheasants on exhi-
bition at City park all the year round.

WHITES CHAMPIONS
OF THE COLOR CLUB
Two Good Basketball Games Played BY
Rivals at Athletic Club
Last Night.

Two splendid games of basketball were
played at the Birmingham Athletic club
last night, the contestants being the
members of the color teams The Whites
defeated the Blues by a score of 40
TO 30. and the regular club team defeated
the Reds by the close margin of 10
to s.
For the Whites, Parker was the bright
particular star. OF the entire forty
points made by the Whites. he has credit
for twenty-eight. Shute made the high
est individual score for the Blues, maxi
ing twelve of the thirty points.
The game between the regular team
and the Reds was brilliant, and at times
the spectators were called to their feet
The guards of these latter organizations
did especially fine work
After the games, a large crowd en-
joyed an hour of dancing. The music
was furnished by Calman's orchestra.
The champion team of the Color club
is the White. That organization has not
lost single game as yet.
