Seyp in the Tablet. We started on

of means we had to dismiss nearly all
our workmen. Three men who were
with us in our light boat were drown

boat this would not have happened.
We were saved, but nearly everything
was lost Only case with church

spoiled except my chalfce. Our lives
were saved through the care of our
catechist and some good swimmers.

Opinion.
The Ordway new era., 1911-03-24

With Mr. Moffat at the time OF his
death was William G. Evans of this
city. who has been the mainstay OF
Mr Moffat in his railroad building
and other enterprises for number OF
years. They went to New York last
December to close up certain deals
connected with the Moffat road.
The many enterprises with which
the name of Mr.. Moffat has been as
sociated will go forward as II nothing
had happened. He left his affairs In
excellent shape. For several years
Mr.. Moffat has not taken an active
part in business; he left that to 9TH
as. Thus, in the Moffat railroad
matters MIR. Evans has had charge: In
the banking business. Fred G. Moffat
and Thomas Keely have relieved Mr..
Moffat of most of the cares: and his
other interests were In equally capa-
BILE hands. Mr.. Moffat left a large
fortune variously estimated at from
$1O,OOO.OOO to $12.O0O,00O; but this at
best Is an estimate as Mr.. Moffat had
so many enterprises so widely scat
tered, that even his closest friends
and business associates and lawyers
cannot make an exact statement of his
wealth.
The Mofrat road, which was the
crownng achievement Of most ac-
tive life, at the time of its builders
death is in such condition financially
and otherwise as to ensure its COM
pletion. AS ii stands it is more than
paying it's way. Some years back Mr..
Moffat was relieved to very large
degree from financial responsibility
for the road. The banking house or
Hallgarten 4 Co.. New York. that be-
came interested in the road as piece
of property of great prospective value.
took over the responsibility and fur
nished the funds. although at the
time of his death Mr.. MOffat con-
trolled the stock of the road. Railroad
interests which the banking firm rep
resented, believed to be the liill-Mor-
gan combination, have been arrang-
ing with the Moffat representatives
to continue construction of the road
and to build tunnel. These negotia-
tions will be continued as If Mr.. Mof-
fat had lived as Mr.. Evans has rep
year in railroad business.
AS with the MOffat road. so with
the great banking institution of which
Mr.. Moffat was the head. Mr.. Moffat
has not been able to give his atten-
ton to the bank details for years and
he has been absent from Denver
great deal Of the time. His other in
terests in Denver and elsewhere en-
may be some time before the vacan-
cles are filled in the number of COM
panies which he headed. Generally
speaking for the last half dozen years
Mr.. Moffat has leaned largely upon
Mr.. Evans and has been guided by his
advice From the time that Mr. Mof-
fat became interested in the Tramway
Company at a critical period in its
history and in the history of Denver,
With the years Mr.. Moffat came to
look upon Mr. Evans rs the man to
handle big affairs connected with his
interests and Mr.. Evans has worked
in the Moffat cause with rare ability
and tenacity OF purpose. 1t has been
a labor of gratitude for one who had
stood by him at a time when he
needed the Moffat strength behind
him.
