GREAT COAL FIELDS
These Lie Largely in Weld
County.

The following editoria from the
Denver Republican is Of interest ana
inheritance here because of the fact
that most OF the area mentioned as
the Northern Colorado coal field lies
10 this county, and will eventually
mean the development OF an indus
try here worth millions of dollars;
1T has been estimated by we'll
known geologist that the available
tonnage in the Northern COLORADO
coal field is more than two billion
five hundred and fifty million tons,
This is on an estimated basis or
an accessible area OF only 4C5 square
miles. But the total estimated area
in Northern Colorado underlain with
coal is more than 800 square miles.
In estimating the available tonnage
and the accessible area a very large
part of the region underlain with
coal is thus excluded, either on &C.

RENOYATING RESORT
Eldorado Springs Being Greatly
Improved This Year.

House. cleaning OF most thorough
description has been going ON at Ell
dorado Springs during the past win
ter. The work is not completed vet
BY any means, but enough has been
done to show that 1908 will probably
be one OF the most successful sea-
sons ever enjoyed at this resort. In
the first place the we'll supplying the
pools with warm water has been
sunk to greater depth, thus insur-
ing temperature for the water of
at least ten degrees more heat than
was had last year. A much needed
Improvement also made has been the
erection OF 100 more dressing rooms
around the pools. Last year 1t fire.
quently happened that on days when
large crowds visited the pool there
were not dressing rooms enough.
The building of 100 additional will
remedy this.
Another improvement and one
which will doubtless Prove very at
tractiVe, has been the building OF
the hotel. THIS work is now being
pushed forward to completion as
rapidly as possible, and the building
Will be ready for occupancy by the
time the season opens This will
mean that people can visit the resort
and spend several days here, or spend
Saturday and Sundays, returning to
their homes In time for business the
the first OF the week. Last season
there was quite demand for Just
such accommodations and 1t is be-
lieved thst the hotel will easily ill
the bill. The service will be OF
the best and everything Will be run
In first class shape.
An indication Of the popularity OF
the resort is found in the fact that
already excursion and picnic dates
have been asked for. Eldorado
Springs proved the most popular ex-
cursion and picnic resort along the
line of the Colorado s. Southern last
year and with the new improvements
made during the winter 1t should
easily surpass all others during the
conf Ing season.

The Fair June Bride

The Fair June Bride
The fair June bride moves down the
isle,
The people turn to see,
And there is many a sigd and smils,
So beautiful is she;
With head demureiy bowed she leans
Upon her fathers arm,
And JOY has driven from her breast
All maidenly alarm;
The organs richest notes roll out
In triumph and in pride,
And unseen angels whir about
Above the gentle bride.
The fair June bride with cheeks
aglow,
Compels us to forget
A little while that there is woe.
inat wrongs are with us yet;
She moves as If with unseen hands
Glad angels borne her there;
Above her head a halo seems
TO simmer in the air;
Through all her happy. sun-lit past
This day has brightly shown
This blissful day that she, at last
May gladly call her own.
The fair June bride has reached her
goal,
Her fears have taken fight,
And glad at heart and pure in soul,
She moves in spotless white,
The organs ricnest notes roll out,
This is her day Of days,
Beyond her lies a world wherein
Are none but rosy ways.
An heaven is nearer than ii was
me world has won new grace,
Because love claims her and be-
cause
Hope gladdens her fair face.
