Two Four Horse Out
fits Will Leave
Wednesday.
To Meet Party at Woods
Landing and Return to
Pinkhampton.

Monday evening George Post received
telephone message from P. 7. Gill. sur
veyor for the Laramie, Hahn's Peak &
Pacific railroad, to ueet him at Woods
Landing with two four horse teams and
two wagons.
Dir. Post got everything in readiness,
and left yesterday morning for the
Landing. He was accompaied by Jack
Smith, who took charge of one of he
teams.
1t is Mr.. Gill's intention to be at the
Landing with complete crew of sur.
veyors, surveyors instruments, camp
outfit, etc, and will make their first
camp at the Jones cabins, near Mac
Wards place, where they will probably
make their headquarters for some time.
Mr.. Gill intends putting the survey
through with all possible speed, the line
probably being run from Centenniel to
Walden. or point near the Riach coal
mine on the west side.
There is little fear of the road leaving
Walden to one side, as there is fully a.
much and just as good coal on the east
and south sides of the Park as on the
west side. Walden being situated In
about the center, so the road to tvs tvs
point would be made the logical base
for several spurs to the different coal
beds

MARKET LETTER

Denver Union Stock Yards, Mar. IL.
Buyers claimed that beef steers we're rel
atively higher here last week than at
eastern markets and tried to cut p1ices
but were only partially successful owing
to the good demand and the market
closed nearly steady with preceding
week. Good cows however, were 10 to
Is cents higher and trade this morning
was brisk and again frmer. Steers sup
ply was quite liberal last week but COW
stuff was scarce and best killing grades
met with strong demand. Good steers
sold at 81. 25 to $4.75 and cows around
50. 40 to $3.75. Fancy stuff was quotable
higher but not much offered. Bulls
were wanted and sold readily 81. so to
So. 80 Veals about steady, best selling at
So, so and bulk at $5. 90 to So. 25 Inquiry
for good feeders and stockers was better
than supply and prices firm Best heavy
steers went to the country at s475 fiat
and good light stockers brought $4.65.
Most fair to good steers sold at S425
to $4.60 with medium to fair at So. go to
A.15. There lisa marked improvement
in the demand for stockers with the ap-
proach of tho grass season.
Packers are gradually improving their
killing facilities here and are taking
much more beef, as well as many more
hogs and sheep. then at this time year
ago, and with the demand for feeding
stuff all that could be asked. Denver
is rapidly becoming one of the first class
markets Of the country. Prices are full
ly in line with eastern quotations and
not infrequently values here are higher
freight and shrink cor sidered than at
the river.
