BOOSTS THE GREAT
SAN JUAN BASIN
Los Angeles Times.

Los Angeles Times.
Convinced that within the San Juan
basin in southern Colorado lies one
of the largest and richest mining,
agricultural and horticultural sec
tions Of the great southwest, and
that with the building of compara-
lively short stretch of railroad Los
Angeles commercial interests will be
able to develop and exploit this prac-
ucaliy virgin country, George H.
Stewart, A. II. Naftzger and Charles
Weir, who recently returned from n
two weeks tour of the basin on be-
half of the local chamber of commerce
yesterday took the first step toward
unveiling what they consider to be a
wonderful opportunity for Los An
geles by filing preliminary report
with the chamber. This report is to
be supplemented later with figures
and other data.
According to the report of the San
Juan basin, embracing Archuleta, La
Semi-weekly herald., 1912-08-05

Plata, San Juan, San Miguel, Do
lores and Montezuma counties in
Colorado and San Juan county in
New Mexico, covers $500 square miles
of rich farming land, virgin coal de-
posits, undeveloped fruit country and
rich gold producing mines, the whole
of which is tapped by single line
of narrow gauge railroad. 1t is
pointed out that for years the devel-
opment of this country has been held
back because of the inability of pro-
ducers to find market for their
goods.
There is twenty-three hour serv-
ice maintained between Denver and
Durango, the main town in the San
Juan basin. 1t is held by the com
mitteemen that were a line to be
built lis miles long between Def
ance, Ariz., and Pennington, N. NJ,
twenty eight hour service could be
maintained to Los Angeles over a
standard gauge track without any
heavy grades being encountered. Such
service would mean that the San
Juan developers would look to this
city for their importation instead of
to Denver, and would start a current
of expectation from the basin country
tc the Pacific coast with Los Angeles
az the receiving point.
Beneath the surface of Archuleta,
La Plata and Montezuma counties in
Colorado and San Juan county in
New Mexico, there extends a stratum
of coal to be compared for value as
coking material only with the best
Goals mined in Pennsylvania. This
stratum is part of belt covering
$4,000 square miles. In addition there
are 121 gold mines, many Of which
have been producing for twenty five
years and have yielded millions of
dollars of the precious metal.
The soil of the country is exceed
ingly rich, producing alfalfa, barley,
oats, potatoes, garden truck, apples,
peaches, cherries, plums and small
fruits in great abundance. Because
OF lack of transportation and mar
I keting facilities the fruit and grain
other than that used for local con-
sumption has been allowed to rot or
the ground. Enough rivers flow
through the country to supply mora
water than there is in California
, south of the Sacramento. AS many
of these rivers have their source in
mountains 10000 feet high there are
great possibilities existing for The
development of water power. Great
} deposits of snow are held in The
mountains throughout the year, af.
, fording a certain supply of water fci
! irrigation. A scheme already ha:
a been financed for the feeding of wa
/, ter to over two hundred and fifty
: thousand acres of the richest porti,,
Of the basin.

ORDER FOR DURANGO
COAL FROM CALIFORNIA
"Royal Coke & Coal Co.,

INoydl NOhe & OOdl tO.,

"Gentlemen:
please ship to w. G. Stafford and
Company, San Francisco, California,
one minimum car of your Blacksmith
coal.
Send notice of shipment to the
American Fuel Company, 1406 Mer-
chants National Bank building, San
Francisco, also notice to the Victor
American Fuel Company, Denver,
Colorado"
The above is certainly gratifying
to Manager George Logan, but is
more of an advertisement for the San
Juan basin than it is for the company
The Royal Coal G. Coke company have
been shipping blacksmith coal all over
the state for long time. With di-
rect California connections this coal
would find big sale throughout the
coast states.
The order was secured by the Vic
tor-American Fuel company of Den
yer, the opening of the letter giving
the order being as follows:
81 am very much pleased to send
you today an order for car of black
smith coal to go to San Francisco.
This is the beginning of our canvass
and our representative at San Fran
cisco advises that if this car proves
to be satisfactory, and have no doubt
from what you have told me that it
will, there will be nice trade out

GET THE RIGHT KIND OF SPIRIT

1t might be well for many who have
become lukewarm in their boosting
for the southwest district, to imbibe
some of the enthusiasm displayed by
Messrs. Stewart, Naftzger and Weir,
the Los Angeles chamber of commerce
delegation, who recently visited the
basin, We have no doubt any one of
the gentleman could tell more about
the virtues of the land than four out
OF every five of our local people. The
gentlemen covered more ground in the
week they were with us than some OF
our really progressive men have COW
cred in a twentyyear residence. II
is a sad fact that many of our citi-
zens do not know the magnitude OF
the country in which they reside.
Some have seldom gone outside the
confines Of Durango. If they would
put in a couple Of weeks going around
getting acquainted with the people
and seeing what the farmer is dong
to redeem the soil and make the sage
brush land bloom like the rose, they
would have more of the boosting spir-
it--not alone boosting, but they would
become better satisfied with the dis
trict, satisfied that it is only ques-
ton of time when we are gong to be
the real attraction. III the Los An
geles people do not build our south
ern road, someone else will. No sec
ton blessed with the resources with
which we are endowed, can remain
for any length of time in the back
ground.
DC not think of the past, but of the
future. Let the efforts of the past
be buried forever and turn your at
tention to the future and get in line
with the same kind of sentiments be-
ine advanced by the California gentle
men,

STATE UNIVERSITY ITEMS.

The university year opens Sept. y.
The University of Colorado is rated
as one of the first class universities
of the country by the national bureau
of education.
An attendance of about 1,600 is reg
istered for the year 1911-l2 including
the summer school.
Lectures of high standard by spe-
cialists in their hne have been de-
livered three evenings in the week
during the summer school session.
This institution needs new medi-
cal builoing. Anatomy is now car
ried on in shed.
The running expenses of this insti-
tuition are only S250,000. They should
be more to carry out the great plans
of the leaders. This institution
made up of many schools and de-
partments. If the school of engi-
neering were a separate college it
would be given five times its present
income; the same might be said of
the school of medicine, the school of
law, and of the graduate school. If
the college of education which is do
ing high class of normal college
work were a separate institution it
would be given ten times its present
cost. The same may be said Of the
college of commerce. In the college
of liberal arts there are twenty de-
partments, each of which is school
in itself, and each offers about twen-
ty-hve courses of study.
Seven thousand students have been
enrolled in this university from its
foundation to the present Q877-1812)
One thousand two hundred twenty
four men and 531 women have taken
degrees. All but seventy-one are iv-
ing; 1,025 live in Colorado. A geo.
graphical distribution shows alumni
in 125 Colorado towns, in forty-two
other states, the Philippine islands
Porto Rico, Hawaii, Alaska and ter
| foreign countries.
When choosing your university next
| fall be loyal to your own institution
and come to the u of C. The classes
are not so large as those in most
eastern universities and the under
graduate receives more personal at.
tention from the professors and car
make better progress. Colorado uni.
versity is making rapid strides anc
winning an enviable reputation. Ev.
cry student will glory in having G
part in its history. This is the insti
tuition that is training the leaders fol
the great state of Colorado and shoult
have the support of every loyal sol
and daughter of the commonwealth

THE COUNTY FAIR.

The Herald is highly gratified with
the way the directors and heads of
committees are pushing along the
September fair. When starting out it
often looks like big undertaking to
raise a $500 guarantee fund, but
our people have never laid down and
they are not doing so this year which
enables the directory to plan for the
biggest and best fair in the history
of the association. Get the fever.
Line up with the progressives. No
town or community ever amounted to
anything without some sacrifice and
hard work on the part of the people.

RAILWAY BUSINESS FOR MAY.

For the month of May the net op-
Grating revenue of the railways de-
cline 5.5 per cent per mile of line
as compared with May, 1911, and that
for May, 1911, was 4.s per cent less
than for May, 1910. This is the sail
ent fact of the monthly summary of
the bureau of railway economics, COM
piled from the reports of the rail-
ways to the interstate commerce COM
mission, and embracing 80 per cent
of the steam railway mileage of tine
country.
The total operating revenues were
1926, 6,l09,262, an increase of 81 per
mile of line over May, 1911. The op-
Grating expenses were $161, 1868, SIT,
an increase of S24.29 per mile of line,
while the net operating revenue was
S64, ,740,5S5, a decrease of $17.23 per
mile of line. Taxes amounted for the
month to $9,S97, ,3O1, or s45 per mile,
an increase of 9.2 per cent.
The decrease in net operating rev.
enue was most severe for the east
ern group of railways, amounting to
11.9 per cent. For the southern group
it increased A of one per cent, and
for the western group less than one
tenth of oi.4 per cent. The aggregate
of the net operating revenue for the
eleven months of the fiscal year, and
also for the five months of the cal
endar year, when measured per mile
of line, shows decrease in compari-
son with the corresponding periods of
the previous year.

wounded himself.
