At the Colorado State Normal School,

dealing with men and things, of early
days in the Gunnison country. These

WESTERN SLOPE PIONEER
By Aria Tufiy, Senior C. s. N. S.
The road through the mountains by
Saguache and over Cochetopa pass was
rough and dangerous at best in the SOS:
in many places the rocks extended YER
tically upward on one side, turning q
bare, rugged, unmovable face, worn
smooth by the elements. toward the
narrow road, while on the other deep,
echoing chasm erinned, telling its word

road, in the spring Of 1880, toiled q
mule team, bearing 10 the precocious

pioneer spirits formerly of Kansas,

shipped it over the Atchison, Topeka
d Santa Fe railroad from ST Louis to
Pueblo, over the Denver & Rio Grande
from Pueblo to Alamosa, and were
bringing II the remaining one hundred
fifty miles overland. Great danger Was
encountered because Of snow and ice.
Once the wagon was overturned, the
press severely damaged. and the type
reduced TO ''pi. But on the 18th Of
April. they reached their destination.

thousand inhabitants-and of forty

around the press and material. There
were no shingles to be had: so it was
left practically roofess. Before the
type was set for the first publication, a
heavy rain fell in torrents, coming un-
deferred through the roof Of the un-
shingled edifice and soaking and running
great deal of the apparatus. The
building being as nearly finished as pos
sible and occupied by the dilapidated
hand-press, stove was found neces-
sary. But there was not q stove to be
had So the editors son erected an ex-
cuse for one by using a fiat rock for the
bottom, building the sides of brick.

top and running piece of pipe from

The House today passed our min
ing experiment station bill providing
for the construction of ten metalli-
ferrous mining experiment stations
throughout the Western States not
more than three Of whicn are auth
Orized to be built each year, and al
30 for the construction of fifteen
coal mine rescue stations not more
than three of these to be construct
ed each year. Secretary of the In
terror is given entire discretion to
determine location of each of these
stations. l am most exceedingly glad
to be able to secure this much in
view of the financial condition of the
country and general system of econ
omy in Congress. 1t will be of great
benefit towards the treatment of
low-grade ores and development of
the mining industry throughout the
West and will be a great saving in
life among mining men. Senate
will undoubtedly pass the bill March
4th.
Edward L. Taylor
The thousands of quartz and coal min
ers in our district will take great in

which can be Of so much benefit to the
mining industry, the lanquishing of
which has undoubtedly greatly affected
prosperity throughout Colorado.
The next question that arises is. where
shall the Colorado station be located I?
Is there any better place than in the
