VAST GILSONITE BEDS DEvEL,

RAILWAY.
I'M M ENSE BUSINESS
FIFTY-FOUR MILE LINE FROM
MACK, COLORADO, TO oEA-
CON, UTAH.

Denver.-The enormous gilsonite de.
posits lin Colorado and Utah made II
possible for the General Asphalt com.
pany of Philadelphia to do a business
during the past fiscal year of 5,147..
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 $S24.OOO 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. dis
tance OF fifty-four miles. and it 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-
plained." 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

tories, the acquisition and development

posits and the operation OF the Uintah

Tricky Indian Merchant Feared In
quisitive Stranger.
(TO BE CONTIN

An Indian merchant wished to dis
pose Of an old elephant and took 1t
to fair. AS soon as he had arrived
he noticed a man who. without say
ing a word. began to walk round the
animal. examining 1t attentively on all
sides. The merchant became very
anxious. for he feared the man had
found out that his elephant was not
worth much. He took him aside and
whispered In his ear: Il see a Gus
toner coming. Do not say q word
until I have sold the beast and I will
give you SO rupees" The man looked
at the merchant and wonderingly
complied with his request. 1t hap
pened that the customer had more
money than sense. SO that he was
easily taken in. When the bargain
was completed and the elephant led
away by its new owner. the merchant
handed the so rupees to the silent
man, saying: Now. | want you to
tell me how you discovered the defect
in his left leg. I thought 1 had con-
cealed 1t 30 skilfully." Il have dis
covered nothing" replied the stranger.
