Industrial
and Employment
Prospectus
This Report Is Made of In
formation Received from Over
One Hundred Representative
Business Men, Organizations
and Institutions in Colorado.
General—A healthy condition is in
dicated In practically all lines of in
dustry and employment In Colorado
during 1927. Major lines of industrial
activity, which will likely show a con
tinued upward trend, indicated in ag
riculture, metal mining, manufactur
ing. oil, railroads and the travel In
dustry. A few lines which will likely
show lesser activity, Indicated in
building, municipal improvement con
struction and highway construction.
While demands for labor, both skilled
and unskilled, will be increased (ex
cept for building and construction
workers which will bo less), the resi
dent supply of workers plus the antic
ipated influx of migratory workers,
will most likely be adequate for all
lines, except for about 7,000 hand
workers for the sugar beet fields, a
moderate number of unskilled railroad
track workers, a moderate number of
skilled metal miners and skilled me
chanics for miscellaneous lines of
manufacturing.
Agriculture—Excellent crop returns
In 1926 of grains (except corn), sugar
beets, fruit and vegetables in practi
cally all agricultural sections of state,
is having a tendency to stimulate ag
riculture, and a substantial increase
(approximately 10 per cent), is indi
cated in the planting avreage in the
irrigated districts in 1927 over 1926,
principally to be noted in sugar beets,
wheat, barley, potatoes, celery, alfal
fa, lettuce, beans and peas. In the non
irrigatod districts, natural moisture
conditions in spring will determine to
a great extent the acreage planted to
corn and other diversified dry-farming
crops. The outstanding crop—sugar
beets —which showed a harvested
acreage of 136.000 acres in 1925 and
219,000 acres in 1926, will probably
show the greater increase In planted
acreage. While fall wheat planting
is less, spring wheat planting indicat
ed to he enough to make at least a
normal acreage. The celery crop will
likely be doubled in the Arkansas val
ley district.
Live Stock—The live stock situa
tion for 1927 is very encouraging. The
gradual Increase in feed products—
chiefly ulfalfa, sugar beet pulp and
tops, and higher prices for cattle,
sheep and hogs, is causing agricultur
alists and stockmen to gradually in
crease their herds. However, at this
time, extraordinary shipments of feed
er cattle and of sheep to market, has
depleted the ranges and feed-lots to
considerable extent, particularly of
sheep. The dairying industry will con
tinue to gradually expand during 1927.
Metal Mining—Metal mining which
was more active in 1926 than for twen
ty-five years, indicated to show con
tinued revival during 1927. Activity
Indicated general in practically all
inetal mining districts of state, partic
ularly noted and to be noted In the
counties of Teller, Lake, Clear Creek,
San Juan, Dolores, Summit, Gilpin,
Mineral, Pitkin Saguache, Boulder,
Custer, Hinsdale, Chaffee, La. Plata,
Ouray, Rio Grande, San Miguel, Eagle,
Grand and Montezuma. Several addi
tional ore mills are indicated to be
constructed during 1927.
Coal Mining—Coal mining opera
tions Indicated to show normal activ
ity during 1927, with possibly a slight
Increase In output and forces. Coal
mining will bo particularly active in
the Trinidad, Walsenburg, Pueblo,
Colorado Springs, Louisville, Lafay
ette and Routt county districts.
Oil—The oil industry, which has
come Into prominence only during the
past three years and which showed
material expansion during 1926, when
several new wells were brought In, In
dicated to show further expansion dur
ing 1927, especially noted In the Fort
Collins and Craig districts. Consider
able prospecting will likely be noted
in the Moffat, Fort Collins, Florence,
Boulder, Trinidad and Delta districts
during the next several months. Ca
pacity operations will most likely be
noted by the new 1,000-barrel oil re
finery at Craig.
Oil Shale —There is possibility of
major expansions and developments
during 1927 of the oil shale industry
In the Deßeque oil shale district. The
building of retorts and processes with
which to treat the shale In preparing
It for commercial use, will no doubt
cause demand for many skilled and
semi-skilled workers.
Manufacturing—Manufacturing pos
sibilities for 1927 are encouraging. A
gradually Increasing population In the
Rocky Mountain region is causing con
tinued und increased demand for
manufactured products, with resultant
Increased activity in many lines of
Pueblo. —A total appropriation of
$104,660.34 Is needed to eliminate pres
ent debts, pay up old bills, and pro
vide for the establishment of an ade
quate grandstand or studium and a
new horse pavilion for the State Fair
grounds at Pueblo. Passage of the
mileage bill, which would Increase the
present one one-hundredth mill tax ap
propriation to three one-hundredths
und bring in instead of $14,000, ap
proximately $42,000, wus ulso urged.
Pinal county, Ariz., received $16,-

tionment of the state school funds.

ber* l goods, V dry*“product ß and nC’h
Lnoou" articles.; 1927 Indicated to be
a record year in the manufacture of
steel and iron products, principally
steel rails, tie plates, car wheels, min
mg machinery, castings and structur.
al steel. A large steel plant at Pueblo
has recently received several huge or
ders for steel products, one order alone
amounting to $6.°00.000 or steel rails,
which work will result in approximate
ly two months more employment In
the steel rail department of this plant
during 1927 over 1926. Mining ma
chinery Plants continue gradually
creasing output and forces. Plants
manufacturing rubber goods, such as
automobile tires, *wden hose, fan
belts and miscellaneous rubber pro
ducts, will Increase production and
forces during 1927. One of these
plants at Denver, which employed an
approximate average of 1,000 workers
during 1926, will most likely increase
forces to an average of approximately
1400 during 1927. Plums manufac
turing food products-crackers, cakes,
etc —indicated to further expand op
orations, with resultant moderate in
crease in forces. The gradually In
creasing receipts of live stock indicat
ed to cause a corresponding increase
in operations and forces at the large
meat packing plants 'at Denver and
Pueblo. The eighteen heet sugar man
ufacturing plants In state which ran
a period of thirty days in 1926 over
their seasonal runs of 1925, indicated
to operate at least as long a period in
1927 as during 1926, or approximately
three and one-half months, from Oct.
1 to Jan. 15. The beet sugar factories
are located as follows: Longmont
Loveland, Fort Collins. Windsor
Eaton, Greeley, Fort Lupton, Brigh
ton Fort Morgan, Brush, Sterling
Johnstown, Ovid, Kockv Ford. Swink
Sugar City, Grand Junction and Delta
The molahses beet sugar refinery a
Johnstown, the largest in the work
and the only one of its kind in tin
United States, which commenced op
erations during the fall of 1926, indi
cated to run the entire year, affordini
I employment to approximately 20
skilled workers.
Building and General Construction
—Building in general, indicated to be
approximately 15 per cent less in 1927
than in 1926. However, construction
in commercial and industrial lines
will likely be about normal. Lesser
construction will be more evidenced in
residence building. Major construc
tion indicated for 1927. includes a
700,000 program by !he Telephone
company, which Includes a new tele
phone building at Denver, $632,000 in
station equipment, central office
equipment, $357,000; exchange lines,
$892,000, and toll lines, $509,000. A
large public service company’s 1927
program includes new
construction in connection with en
largements and extensions of electric
lines and power stations. The Chim
ney Rock dam in the mountains above
Lyons, indicated to be under construc
tion during 1927. Other construction
work will be under way In practically
all of the metal mining districts in
state, including several ore mills, met
al mine timbering, etc. Construction
work on the six-mile Moffat Railroad
tunnel, sixty-five miles northwest of
Denver, which has been under con
struction for the past three years, in
dicated to be finished within four or
five months: the Pioneer tunnel, par
alleling the railroad tunnel, indicated
to be finished during the early part of
1927. Building labor of all classes In
dicated to be more than ample to fill
demands throughout the year.
Municipal Improvements — The vol
ume of municipal improvement con
struction will probably not be quite
so extensive in 1927 as during 1926.
Some of the cities and towns will in
crease their public improvement pro
grams, while others will decrease their
programs.
Highway Construction —Present in
dications are that a possible insuffi
ciency of funds will cause curtail
ment of the 1927 highway construc
tion program to a considerable extent.
Railroads— An increase in both
freight and passenger railroad traffic,
is Indicated during 1927, which in
crease will be evidenced as a result of
an indicated moderate Increase in
train travel and a heavy Increase in
agricultural, manufacturing and met
al tonnage. Nearly every railroad op
erating in Colorado will have large
construction programs in 1927, includ
ing considerable rebuilding, improv
ing and extension work, with result
ant demand for an increased number
of railroad workers. Several thou
sand additional laborers will be need
ed for track work, and a moderate
number of skilled Iwiler-makers, ma
chinists, welders, etc., will be,required
in the mechanical departments.
Travel Industry—The 1926 travel in
dustry, which showed about a 10 per
cent increaso in automobile and a 6
per cent decrease In rail travel com
pared to 1925, indicated to show a
substantial Increaso in both automo
bile and train travel in 1927.
Colorado Springs—Colorado Springe
has been selected as the meeting place
for the next annual convention of the
State Association of Letter Carriers
The convention will be held on May
25, 26, 27 and 28. Delegates will be se
