oUNNIsON MAY BOOM
Iron Deposits To Start The
Wheels OF Industry

Quite an interest is being mani
tested in Gunnison circles, in view
of the possible taking over OF the
Lewis C.bolla iron deposits, by a
Pittsburg syndicate who have had
experts examining the property. in
the past week. Much speculation
is rife as to what would happen to
the old town should such hftbing
occur. Sew ,ral broa1 gauge .rait :
ways with workshops and round
hou ses, would be the FIRST things
and along with these, a big steel
plant, employing thousand men,
or more, aud a railway line to the
iron mines some thirty miles dis
tant from Gunnison, and where a
mother thousand men would be en-
pIoyed digging and loading iron

of the country are becoming de-

Of the Mississippi river and those

builder Of Gunnison. may yet be
realised to his ppsterity and to the
people OF tha town. 1t is common

was unselfishly devoted to the is-

an unalterably purpose in with
holding the sale of the iron lands
unless the purchaser would agree to
build and operate iron works in the
town OF Guunison and which would
benefit every property owner alike
in the city. Useless it may be to
speculate, relative to the general
benefits that will certainly come to
this couhtry as the starting OF the
enterprise itself, our main hopes
are that the starting will be within
the present day and generation in
order that the living may realize

Rio orande's Proposed Route

It is suggested that one of the
new betterments which are now in
contemplation by the Rio Grande
Syssem, is the doing away with the
Marshall Pass hanl, over the main
continental divide. which almost
doubles the cost of transportation
between Denver and the Western
Slope country. It is also believed
that the crossing Of this main range
may he more easily effected, than
at any other point, by leaving the
main line at or near Beuna Vista
AMI climbing the water grade Of
Cottonwood creek to the summit
and over into the Taylor park sec
tion where the route could circle
somewhat northward, around the
upper end of this large basin and
thence reach the Italian mountain
country and its low grade silver
mi mes. From here a crossing could
easily be made nearly on level to
the head waters Of Cement creek.
by which an excellent grade would
be found down either Cement Or
Brush creeks to the Guunison coal
fields or metal mines of Crested
Butte. from which this road is now
hauling from one to two thousand
tons of material daily. and by which
means, if this new outlet was fur
nished and standard gauge roa1-
bed laid, the tonnage would be in
creased were the new road further
extended on beyond Crested Butte
into the North Fork coal areas and
fruit lands. The G. as. are contem
plating the extension of their Bald
win branch over the low Ohio creek
pass, on to the head of Coal and
Gilt creeks where both anthracite
and bitumneous coal depooits are
now awaiting transportation facil-
tiles. Aspen papers are claiming
that among the improvements con.
templated by the Rio Grande, is
an extension Of the road from that
point to Ashcroft and over into the
Taylor park section, taking in the
big iron deposits which are near
the summit of the range and which
belong to the Colorao Fuel & Iron
Company, and in which event. a
branch line will be extended to
connect with the Crested Butte
coal fields, which will be another
way Of avoiding Marshall Pass and
Cero Hill hauls.

Mr.. Gates left Boston Aug. 8,
without money, and must make his
way across in the stated time or by
Jan. /, 1909, to win his wager. Mr..
Gates came through the states Of
New Hampshire and Vermont and
crossed into Canada from st. Adams,
Vt, and following west to Ottawa,
the Canadian capital, thence to Sault

line Of the c. p. r., and crossed into
the United States again at the Mich
igan 500; thence to Duluth by the
Duluth South Shore railroad.
He is following the line of the
Northern Pacific from Duluth to
Brainerd, Fargo, jamestown and
Bismarck. From here he follows
the road to Spokane, Wash; thence
to Portland and down the coast to
San Francisco.
Mr.. Gates earns his expenses by
giving an interesting lecture on his
experiences since ! leaving Boston,
in the moving picture theatres along
his route. He is not allowed to.
beg or solicit aid without doing lab
or in return.
He reports in coming west he finds
