FUEL SHORTAGE
FOLLOWS STORM
Hotels and Business Houses in
Denver Forced to Close.
Freezing Weather Follows Snow
Wires Nearly All Gone Stage
Lost in Mountains.

Denver-At 8 O'Clock Saturday
night the severe snow storm which has
completely tied up all forms of bust
ness in Denver and Central Colorado
came to an end, according to the Den
yer Office of the government weather
bureau, and colder, clear weather was
forecast. With the freezing weather
came grave anxiety as to the main
tenance of the slender telegraph and
telephone communication which alone
has kept Denver in communication
with the outside world.
Wires are laden heavily with wet
snow, and a freeze, according to tele-
graph companies, would cause many
of the lines to break under their heavy
burden.
The total snowfall during the storm
was given officially at 45.5 inches, or
2.52 inches precipitation. The snow
packed hard, and the government bu-
reau estimated 1915 inches was the
depth Of the blanket that covered the
entire city of Denver. The fall of
snow within "a hours was 1876 inches,
or LOS inches precipitation.
Reports to the government bureau
show that the storm practically was
confined to Colorado and Northern
New Mexico.
One of the gravest hardships accom-
panying the storm was the extreme
shortage of coal. One of the largest
hostelries in Denver was forced to
close and several Office buildings have
exhausted their supply of fuel and
were forced to close. Other hotels in
the city, in which are housed hundreds
of marooned tradespeople, fear they
will be unable to obtain fuel for the
next few days. Boulder, Colo, re-
ported total fall of 40 inches in the
surrounding country.
It is reported that the Jimtown
stage driver, with one passenger in
his coach, is lost in the mountains.
At Cripple Creek all business is sus-
pended, including work in the gold
mines.
