J A large display advertisement ap-
peared in Denver evening paper Wed
nesday evening announcing the fact
that P. L. Thorson had purchased an
established dry goods business at Den
yer at the corner Of Fifteenth and
Larimer street. The new purchaser
was for some time a resident of this
city, being connected in the mercantile
/ line with Adolph Nelson. In 1894 he
sold his interest to Mr.. Nelson and re-
moved to Georgetown where he engag-
ed in business leaving there for Cripple
Creek and afterwards going to Colora-
do Springs. He enjoyed a wide ac-
quaintance in this section.
Dick White and w. A. Roberts are
threatened with great wealth and if
lease in Cripple Creek in which they
are interested turns out to be one
fourth as good as it now promises, the
boys win retire from active life with
competency and that too before the
Fourth Of July. Mr.. White re-
turned the first of the week from
visit to the property and says that
in all his experience he never saw q
finer showing for the work done.
When questioned regarding his lease
and its possibilities, Mr.. White was
somewhat reticent, believing it was
best not to count the chickens until they
| are Matched.
