County Judge Galligan stepped
down from the judicial bench last
Tuesday after six years of service
and Judge J. 11. Mitchell, republi
can elected November 8 took bis
place. Justice J. F. Smith also
gave up his place to Justice Thomas
A. Bradford.
M. N. Megrue was duly qualified
as county commissioner on Tuesday.
Mr. Megrue is a bard headed, practi
cal business man, a resident of Besse
mer and will make a good county of
ficial. This oity now has two county
commissioners, W. 11. Hubbard con
tinuing to hold down his seat.
It is the far east this time that is
catching the howling blizzards.
New York harbor is actually blocked
with great icebergs probably from
“Greenland’s icy mountains,” while a
terrific snow storm Ims been raging
all week along the York and New
Jersey shores. It makes one living
in this summer clime shiver to think
of it.
There are many strangers in the
city’, some looking about with a view
to going into business while others
are seeking employment in the steel
works. There are but few vacant
houses and rooms to be had and
those who have the means are look
ing to house building as a good field
for investment. Bessemer will be
one of the livhest places in the state
next summer.
When Benjamin F. Butler died
last Wednesday morning at his home
in Washington, D. C. tho United
States lost one of its most noted and
patriotic citizens and the world per
haps its greatest constitutional law
yer. Ben Butler as lie was familiar
ls called was a man of more than
ordinary learning in the fields of law
and literature and his great knowl
edge combined with his wonderful
force of character made him a re
markable man everywhere.
Bessemer needs a bank and needs
it bad. The big pay rolls of the steel
works should be bandied here. If
the checks could be cashed in Besse
mer much of the money which now
finds its way out of the city would
remain with the business men of
Bessemer and thereby assist in
building up the city. This is the
way in which every producer can be
a builder and the only way to make
the town go ahead. A bank would
be of immense benefit and would do
a big business. When will it
come?
The new board of county com
missioners organized on Tuesday
with 11. M. Morse as chairman. Ap
plications for appointment to the
position of county pltyaicinn were
made by Dr. A. L. Fugard, Dr. Gray
aud Dr. Gale. Dr. Fugard was ap
pointed. The applicants for county
attorney were Geo. W. Collins of
Bessemer, E. C. Glenn, George Saols
bury and J. H. Coon of Pueblo. No
decision was reached but the appoint
ment will not be long delayed. W.
I. Wren was elected inspector of
weights and measures. B. C. Hall
was elected county road overseer.
For janitor of the court - boose I.
Johnson was elected. The new
board disposed of a lot of prelimin
ary routine business in a brisk and
easy manner that caused onlooker*
to think they meant business, , v j
BESSEMER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1893.
There is a general demand among
the employes at the steel works and
the business men of Bessemer for a
bill to be introduced in the state leg
islature providing for the payment of
all labor every two weeks. Such a
bill will be introduced aud the in
dications are that it will pass both
houses by a handsome majority.
A week ago all was gold and
glory in the famed San Juau coun
try but now counter reports are com
ing in denouncing. the stories of
fabulous riches and denouncing the
country as a barren region where the
shining ore shines not and where dis
appointed miners are turning the air
blue. These are nhe latest reports
but there may be a change for the
better in a few days and it is best
to wait a while before forming an
opinion.
The dead-lock in the state senate
was broken early in the week by a
union between the populist and dem
ocratic senators whereby they elected
an satire set of officers and servants.
It was a squaring up game with the
republican lower house and they
swept everything. Senator Barela a
democrat had been made president of
the senate at the start and now khe
combined forces proceeded with the
election of the following:
Secretry of the senate—W. H.
Kennedy of Leadville, Populist.
Sergeant-at-arms-—James Cum
mings of Denver, Democrat.
Assistant sergeant-at-arms—John
Williams of Fremont county, Popu
list.
Chapitun of the Senate—Rev. T.
A. Uzzeli.
Messenger—L. E. Sipe of Las An
imas county, and second messenger,
N. Chavez of Las Animas county,
both Democrats.
Docket clerk—Ollie Moore of
Chaffee county, Democrat.
Bill clerk—Richard Southgate of
Denver, Democrat.
Night watchman—Pat Buckley of
Leadville, Democrat.
Enrolling clerk—A. B. Gray of
Rocky Ford, Populist.
Printing clerk—Fred B. Johnson
of Boulder, Populist.
Engrossing clerk— J. M. Craw
ford of Saguache county, Populist.
Doorkeeper— T. O. Smith of Cos
tella county, Populist; assistant door
keeper, L. Garcia of Huerfano county
Democrat; pages, Harry Newcome,
Fred Garcia, William Pique and
Albert S. Stryker.
STEEL WORKS SPARKS.
The rail will starts up again next
Monday. The finishing roll whicii
broke last Tuesday morning at 3
o’clock will be replaced by that time
and all hands will go to work again.
It was a serious break down but one
of the unavoidables and no one was
to blame. After awhile the weak
parts in the machinery will all be
replaced and then delays will be
few. The roll is being turned out
here, the men working day and
night.
W.N. Crocker, an affable gentle
man and C. 8. Robinson's former
time keeper at Milwaukee, is keep
ing time at the blast furnace depart
ment. Mr. Crocker likes the city
and will move his family here in
March.
F Tiie big 70 ton scales was tested
; this week and found to be all right.
, a number of the boys took acl
| vantage of the shut down in the
rail mill and converter this week
! and on Thursday, it being the 54th
I anniversary of Uncle Tom Wood’s
t birthday, surprised that diminutive
j old timer at his ranch on the St.
Charles. Uncle Tom was for years
a steel worker and to say that there
was a gay time at his place doesn’t
. begin to express it Of course there
, was none of the foaming beverage
to be had but the boys got along
very well without it.
1 E. P. Cush who was expelled from
! the works several months ago by
■ ex-Superintendent I. Grove, but
. who again, went to work with a
, change in the management, was
, again laid off late last week by
Superintendent T. W. Robinson. It
- is a rule of the present management
i that once discharged always dis
. charged and it seems that Mr.
Cush’s case was not considered U£-
til now by Mr. Robinson. A com
mittee waited on the superinten
-1 dent this week in Mr. Cush’s behalf
but without availing anything.
Men are wanted by Overseer Coe
to handle coke, limestone and ore.
He employs all who come along at
*1.05 per day. Here is an opportu
alty for the “dead brok a” individu
al* who ''art accustomed to strike
j their Mends for a dollar.
Many of the rail mill aud con
verter men while waiting for their
departments to start up have joined
the floating gang under Jim Robin
son or the brick crew under Tom
Phillips and are doing good service
in hurrying along the general re
pairs of the mill.
Three of the ten boilers being
placed for blast furnace No. 2 are
raised to their proper elevation and
the brick work is progressing slowly
but surely. W. R. Rees, Adam
Kunt/,, Will Little, Jim Cromar,
et al are using their trowels to good
effect.
The break down in the rail mill
occured just as the big 15 thousand
tons order for 70’s for the Union
Pacific was begun. Only four rails
had been made when the finishing
roll broke.
About SBO,OOO will be the amount
of the pay roll next Saturday—the
largest ever known in the history of
of the mill. This pay roll, Super
intendent T. W. Robinson thinks,
will be augmented to SIOO,OOO next
spring.
The addition to the converter of
fice is about completed and will be
used for a laboratory, the tests from
the converter to be made there in
stead of sending samples to the
main laboratory. In this way much
valuable time will be saved.
Patrick Knox, ouo of the Joliet
boys has been laid m part of the
week on account of rheumatism.
PUEBLO POINTERS.
The Pueblo city council has not yet
taken steps toward improving the ap
proaches to the Union avenue and C
street viaducts; but it should and with
out delay. The grades are so steep
that in wet weather a horße is terribly
punished in climbing up. Better come
to Bessemer and get a large quantity of
pulverized slag to spread on the grade
if they can’t afford anything more ex
pensive.
The Chioftain is booming what is
known as Ophir camp, a new discovered
gold region about eight miles weet of
Beulah, and Bays it may prove to be
another Cripple Creek. It states that
assays showing from to 237)4 ounces
of gold per ton have been made. 237)4
ounces of gold is equivelant to about
84,750 which beats Cripple Creek,
Creede and the San Juan country all
hollow, and these samples were procured
at a depth of not more than twelve
feet. It is a good gold story anyhow
and will do to pass around whether
there is anything in it or not.
The Grand hotel will pass into the
management of E. W. Schubert to-mor
row. The Grand has been a sort of
white elephant for a year but Mr. Schu
bert is confident of making it go all
right.
It is only a matter of conjecture when
work will be commenced on the govern
ment building. It may be in the spring
but it is a question whether the appro
priation made for the building will be
available by that time.
Main street merchants are making a
vigorous kick because of the ten minute
street car service being taken away.
Now the only cars running on that
street are those of the lake line which
pass every half-hour and the merchants
enter a loud protest, claiming a right to
the West Abriendo and Dundee ser
vice.
The board of trade is entertaining a
proposition from a pickle and preserve
factory of Kansas to remove the plant
to Pueblo. The Kansans do not want
the earth as a bonus but they will take
a good sized patch of it.
Manager Lockin Is fast making
the Grand opera house a paying
institution and is affording the
public an opportunity to attend
good plays to their hearts content.
The Grand has become very popu
lar.
Hiram L. Holden has succeeded C. A.
Hammond as cashier of the Central
National Bank.
Can He Hold His Job?
At the meeting of the Pueblo city
council Monday night W. C. Mahar
of Bessemer was appontid
south side city weigher, vice W. C.
Slawson, resigned, and there is con
siderable kicking thereat. It is all '
right with Mr. Mahar if he can thus
represent his city but they are after I
him and he shall have to look sharp j
to hold down his job. Apropos to
the appointment the Press says:
A number of representative citi
zens have to-day called the atten
tion of the Press to the fact that the
council last night elected a citizen
of the oity of Bessemer as an official
of Pueblo. There is no comlaint
personally against the gentleman
elected as a city weigher, but every
one that has spoken of the matter to
the Press thinks that the position
should have been given to a Pueblo
man.
The Press has taken some trouble
to look lato the matter and finds
that there is an ordinance in ex
istence that says emphatically that
no one shall hold an official position
in the oity of Pueblo who is not a
resident of the city. Therefore the
city weigher elected last night is
invalid and cannot hold goon. If
tho oouncil wants to elect citizens of
Bessemer to fill offlelal positions in
Pueblo it will have to repeal tho ,
ordinance £ff±*bitlng it before It
oan lawfully do so, 1
CONSOLIDATION.

Bessemer Commissioners.

meeting of the consolidation com
missioners from thi9 city and
Pueblo met last Tuesday in the
Pueblo city hall and the following

THE C. C. & I. HOSPITAL.
Something About the Improvements
Being Made.
Valuable and much needed im
provements are being made in and
about the C. C. &I. hospital. For a
year past these changes have beeu
under contemplation and are now
being carried out and in a very ex
tensive and creditable manner. Al
ready a number of the electric
lights have beeu putin the building
and a few lights have also
been placed in the verandas. A
comfortable reading aud smoking
room has been fitted up where the
disabled may spend an hour of
profit and pleasure, and where con
tributions of newspapers, magazines
and books are thankfully received.
T.ie interior of the b'uilding is re
ceiving a fresh coat of paint and the
same attention will be given the
outside.
The grounds will be carefully
looked after, it being the purpose of
those having them in charge to raise
the entire lawn several inches
which will lend new life and vigor
to the grass and shrubbery, the
flower beds will be laid out anew
aud the trees trimmed. A menag
erie will be established for the en
joyment of the patients. This in
teresting feature of the improve
ments has a good start inasmuch as
there is already a collection of
pigeons of several varieties, rabbits
of different species, magpies and a
lone grouud hog. This disconsolate
Individual is quite a pet aud re
ceives much attention. With these
additions the old hospital and the
premises will be shorn of much of
their gloomy aspect and the maimed
or sick steel worker will find com
fort in the cheerful and newly fur
nished rooms while lie listens to
the glad songs of his dumb com
panions outside.
A Winter in the South.
A winter in the South— the very
words conjure up delicious memories
for those who have been there, The
bright sunny skies, the dry, bracing air
and the warm sunshine is in decided
contrast to the cold, bleak north.
The great state of Texas is celebra
ted as one great broad winter resort in
itself, but the following places are, per
haps, particulrHy popular: Fort Worth,
with its mineral baths, healthful climate
and good hotels; Austin, the beautiful
capital city; San Antonio, one of the
few really historical places in our coun
try; Houston, with its blooming roses"
oleanders and groves of oranges and
lemons, and Galveston with its delici
ous sea breezes. These are but a few
of the delightful resorts of this highly
favored region.
f An escape from all the pains and dis-
I comforts of our rigorous weather, trau
j sported by magic from the region of
j snow and ice to the fragrance of this
summer-land, is now made possible and
easy by the Denver, Texas & Ft. Worth
branch of the Union Pacific system,
which runs through Pullman Palace
sleepers between Denver, Fort Worth,
