ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs

why it is the best of personal and family

the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and

VAST GlLSONITE BEDS DEVEL,
OPED BY THE UINTAH
RAILWAY.
I'M N ENSE B BUSINESS
FlFTY-FouR MILE LINE FROM
MACK, COLORADO, TO DEa.
CON, UTAH.

Denver.-The enormous gilsonite de
posits lin Colorado and Utah made it
possible for the General Asphalt com
pany Of Philadelphia to do n business
during the past fiscal year Of SIS ,147,'
665. The company has been engaged
in acquiring extensive tracts of land
under United States patents in this
state and Utah during the past few
years which yielded enormous quanti-
ties Of high grade asphalt, known as
gilsonite. The Uintah railway was
built at cost of sS24,O0O to develop
these deposits and the past year is the
first in which the real value of these
asphalt beds were demonstrated.
The Barber Asphalt company is the
corporate title under which the trust
has been operating. The Uintah rail
road runs from Mack, Colorado, on the
Rio Grande, to Dragon, Utah, a dis
tance of fifty-four miles, and 1t is along
this road and 112 miles adjoining toll
roads that the asphalt beds exist.
In 1907 the largest percentage OF
the company's business, as already ex-
planned" says the annual report of the
president, was in the manufacture
and sale OF asphalt and asphalt pro-
ducts, which was made possible by the
construction Of new plants and fac
tories, the acquisition and development
of the Utah and Colorado asphalt de-
posits and the operation of the Uintah

Canada After Settlers.
