Show COLORADO'S OUTLOOK. It looks good to Colorado. Our Denver correspondent cor-respondent writes about a strike in Cripple Creek, in the properties where Father Callanan invested and lost the new cathedral funds about a year ago, All signs point to a restoration of the impaired fund by reason of this' new discovery. We trust the anticipations of , our" correspondent may be realized. - ; But this is-.. -not all of ,, the. blessings showered upon Colorado since the- Emancipation. Not long aftei it "was known that" the popular will of the people had been recorded against, military rule and anarchy, a complete change came over the. mining districts of ihe states The Tellurite mine owners placed their niijls on an eight hour work day basis, the very issue that started all the trouble and strife between them and the members of tha Federation of Miners. This is taken by the business busi-ness men of Dciuer as another indication of the general prosperity that4 is in store for Colorado, as result of the election. It is freely predicted that within a few months all of. the strikes in every section sec-tion of the state will be over, and that the runes and mills will be running and the men working and no questions will have: been asked or required regarding re-garding former affiliations from, either side. It is generally known in Denver that "''the settlement in Telluride was affected just as soon a the final re-. suit of the election was made known and that boll parties in that district were willing to accept, the compromise ."made by the people'a an object lesson and compromise between themselves. The mills will work eight hours and all of the better class of miners will return to the district and go to work. Along with other news conies the report that an English company is planning to establish independent independ-ent stock yards in Denver with branch yards in u j number of Colorado towns. The company is to expend ex-pend practically one million dollars and to erect a packing plaut that will furnish the emire west with its iuoat. s A report comes from Colorado Springs that tho Short Line and the Cripple ('reek Central railroads are preparing to expend a half million dollars during dur-ing the winter in the improvement of the roads'and to cover the Cripple Cree.k district with a net work of electric lines, to act as feeders for the other roads. They are also preparing to build a narrow guage Hue from Midway to Cripple Creek by tho Cripple Creels Central: This road will cost approximately ap-proximately $2(10,000. Another improvement will be the building of a branch line to Beacon Hill which is a new district in the Cripple Creek mining min-ing territory. This spur will extend from near tho Elkton mine and will connect the system with several sev-eral of the big shipppors of that section. President Presi-dent Blackmer, of the Cripple Creek Central, is quoied as aying, "I see no reason new why Colorado should not go ahead. The wonderful resources of the Cripple Creek district alone are sufficient reasons rea-sons why capital should come here and we do not propose to be behind others in promoting prosperity pros-perity in Colorado." The only cloud on Colorado's horizon is the attempt to steal the election from Alva Adams and retain the Peabydy-Bell oligarchy that brought all the trouble upon the state. It is the attempt iii Denver to perpetuate political quarrels and to continue con-tinue political agitation, not from any patriotic purpose of stopping election frauds or of punishing punish-ing election thieves, but for the all too appparent purpose of giving one corporation crowd an advantage-over another corporation crowd, both of whom are trying to get some unfair and unusual concessions con-cessions from the people of Denver.
