Ths recuperstirs energy and in- domitabls pluck displayed by Coloradoans is illustrated by the people of Salida in a marked degree. The city has twice been partially de stroyed by fire, and yet, Phoenix like, it has arisen out of its own ashes, renewed, rehabilitated, reatrengthmed. Salida has many ad vantages to attract to its beautiful location capital that seeks remunerative returns. It Is ths commercial center of quit a large section of country. It is in the heart of tt valuable min ing country now but in the infancy of its de velopment and promising with iU wealth of hidden mineral riches a source of never-failing prosperity for its people.

It is the commercial entrepot of a fine agricultural and stock-raising country. It is within a few miles of Poncha Springs, one of the finest mineral springs in the country, containing in solution grand reme dial properties invaluable for the Invalid and those needing the tonic constituents of its spark ling, exhilarating waters. Salida is a healthful point; all of Colorado is one grand sanitarium and Salida is conspicuously healthful, where the dutches of disease relinquishes its fatal grasp and where life and all its ennobling conations are revitalized and re gen era tod. Salida is Ouite ft prominent railroad center. It is tbe division headquarters of the Dearer ana itio uranae itaiiroad, tne pioneer railroad of Colorado, first and foremost in binding all parta of tne State in an indisolulble bond of commercial unity and amity.

The Denrer and Rio Grands disburses monthly here about $40- uuu to its employes, which finds Its way through the various channels of commerce and helps materially in the nnbuilding of the city. The city presents decided ad vantages for the in investment of capital, and, with the prioee pre- vauins; in su vue arucass tn trsoe ana tne ex eessive nign Charges made on loans it a that great neeecssitr exists for the profitable plovment of capital. Ihe losees entailed by the firs here bare somewhat crippled the resources or the people. and yet notwithstanding: the oitixaos have oboe nobly. That is to say.

some of the citizens hare inspired by their own pride, progressive spirit ana generosity, a puoua sentiment toward tne establishment of puhlio improvements which must result in great good for Salida. ball da has some noble spirits, men of nerve. sagacity, man noon, and enterprise. wun ft X.1BOK-KXABTTD DBPOSmOaT and ft breadth of publio observation which has been extremely valuable in the upbuilding of tne ciry. ineee men have invested, and reinvested their earnings in various enterprises, and are to-day reaping tbe reward of their industry ana never-aee pairing (aiin.

Craig, and others. Salida has ft populataoa of 3.000 and bids fair to double this number within the next three It is an attractive town. At night the radiant glare of the electric lights illuminate tbe city with a blaas of light, and the city presents an unusual sceue 01 activity not generally no ticeable in towns ex its sise. its buildings are substantial and well adapted for mercantile progress, and its merchants are, with few ex ception, live men who nmp.l.tia. for they know that competition is the life of trade.

There are few here, however, who would, if they eould. build a Chinese vail around the town; barring out all newcomers and keeping in its massive walls those who are domiciled in it, so that with eel 11 eh interest and grasping avarice they eould pounce upon the eagle exhibited upon tne guttering coin of the realm and bold on to the nous btrd ror fear be might wing his flight to some Other section of the Btate and there more in stately dignity through the channels of commerce. Salida needs another banking institution. There is ft large demand for money, and ft bank with ample capital will find this a desirable point for operational 'It needs number of manufacturing industries, which the observant capitalist will perceive at a glance. In the line of mercantile interests it sorely needs a clothing establishment The various lines of trade are well represented by two and three and more ee tabus hmente in the ssme line, but there is only one clothing store, and the trade has been so profitable that within a few years the pro prietor has amassed fortune, coming here with ft few trunk -loads of clothing, and now owning an extensive clothing store, besides having ft proprietary interest in considerable real estate.

Competition 'is the life- of trade. aud wis mercuan, in common witn nis leuow-citisens. is anxious to see 'a large establishment in-the same line of trade located here. There is a fortune in store for an enterprising clothier who will avail htmaeif or tne opportunity. In the immediate vicinity of Salida there is a large amount of iron.

This vein extends within one and a half of this city to Calumet The Csi- nmet mine is being OPUATCO STXTXKSTVXXT and has been in operation about six years. The present output is eighty tons per day. Tbe ore is shinned to Pueblo and is owned by the C. and Company of that city, who transform tbe raw material into rails, nans, pig-trou, pipe, etc The outcrop of iron and iron reins are six miles in width and fifteen miles in length, and is owned by miners and ins pectors who are unable to develop tbe property owing to lack of capital A. T.

Hathaway has O.tNMl tons 01 iron ore on tne dump ready for shipment, bnt can not find anr tmrchaaer. owing to the fact that the C. and Company are the only concern in tne suite using iron in manufacturing operations Chaffee County is rich in its inexhaustible supply of magnetic and hematite iron, lead ores, gold, surer and copper mines, and granite, marble, and sand stone. Nine miles in a north easterly direction is located an extensive marbie 3 narry, white and blue marble, very fine grain, ense, capable of a high polish and weighing lbu pounos to. tne cuoie loot, xnis quarry cavers seventy acres ana nas a rein (eet wide of solid marble, it la within three-quar ters of ft mile of the Denrer and Hio Grande Uailway.

Longfellow mining camp, four miles from Sa lida, in a southeasterly airection, has large lime deposits that carry with it carbonate of lead and iron, with silver, exhibiting a percentage of 20 ounoes in silver, 40 per cent lead, and 20 per cent excess of iron. 1 This mine is Jiow being worked and is yielding $40 per ton of its output of ore.

The carbonate -or nroe analyses vo per cent to tne ton, me iron lounu nere is irom 50 to 60 per cent pure- iron. Coal can be ob tained cheaply at $3. 50 Per ton from Canon City.

CO miles distant Ins finest charcoal in the world is manufactured right here in the kilns and within a- radius of twenty miles. which is shipped to Pueblo, LeadviUe, and Denver and used for smelting purposes. This charcoal ia manufactured out of Pinion piue. The timber is inexhaustible, the entire hills being covered with Pinion. An iron furnace would pay here handsomely, starting in on a small scale.

A twenty-ton fur nace or two ten-ton furnaces could be constructed for $25, OOO. The fine water power obtainable from tbe Arkansas Hirer which flows through the city with a fall of 100 feet to the mile, indicates its availability for manufacturing purposes. The construction oi a ditch to carry the water and an additional expense of a turbine wheel, the whole apirrepating probably 3.OO0. would insure sufficient power for any important industry to last over a hundred years. The rights to tbe water power have never been taken ont of tue stream, and are still subject to location and pre-emption.

This wouiuu it. operations, inoioeniai so a muting country, will readily demonstrate the actual mineral wealth of these mines, without any hazard to capital, is the best indication oi the ooufi-denoe the owners hare in these various mining prospects. The Monarch Vlnine- District, ths lanrest 1st this section of the country, produced about 410,000 gross tons of silver and lead-bearing ore in 18tt, ths net value of this product being $27. BO per ton.

In lsH7 the same district yielded 50,000 tons, with ft net rains of $35 per ton after deducting mining, freight, and general expenses, and the indication for, this year is that there will be 60,000 taken out of the district The product of 1888 will be worth from $40 to $50 oer ton. as the ore in dicates a higher grade as the mining is prosecuted. This valuable mining district is twenty miles from this city. The ore is shipped via Salida, and the commercial and mining supplies are all obtained from this point an sue inimeuiate vicinity a nne granite ana sandstone for building purposes is found. There are splendid beds of fire clay of the very beet quality around Salida, At Wellsville, five aud a half miles distant, on the banks of the Arkansas Hirer, there are magnificent hot springs, containing magnesia, lime, iron, and alu milium, with a temper, a tare of VO degrees Fahrenheit Poncha Hot SDrinira.

PENSION APPROPRIATION BILL. Waskhotojt, April 20.

Iu the House this afternoon ft motion to proceed to the consideration of private business was defeated by the managers of the various appropriation bills, and on motion of Xr. Elanohard, of Louisiana, (Chairman of the Committee on Elvers and Harbors), the House went into committee of the wnoie on sncn measures, and ths pension ap propriation bill was taken up. Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, in speaking to the bill alluded to tbe recent action of the House In regard to ths purchass of bonds with ths sur plus in order to dis Del the doubts in ths mind of the President as to his authority to purcuaae dodos, sucn auinonty caring been conferred in an appropriation bill. In ex amining the arrears of pension act it would be louna that tnere was no limitation as to tbe time when claims should be filed.

The only limitation ever placed upon that act wasv'found in an appropriation bilL He felt it to be his duty to call ths attention of the administration to this fact, for if the President had trouble in buying bonds with toe surplus he should have equal aimcuiry in not allowing arrears or pensions. It the president eould not without an expres sion ox opinion from las House so into the mar ket and buy bonds, ne had no neht li ne was logical and consistent, to withhold arrearages of pensions, ne appealed to the president to be consistent and come up like ft little man and allow arrears of pensions to the boys who filed their claims within the provisions of the act That ahould be done until a declaratory act was passed saying that he must be governed by the provision of the appropriation bill He controverted the claim that the soldiers were retting better recognition from ft Democratic administration wan tney naa irom iiepuouean administrations, ana ne a tea statistics to show what ths number of claims filed were compared witn tne number or eeruncates allowed: the record of the Bepublican party and its administrations stood unchallenged for acting in ths interest of tbe soldier. He then referred to the administration of the Mexican pension law by ths Pension Office. So rapid was the Pension Bureau, he said, in recognizing claims under this law, that pensions were allowed before tbe claimant ever pat in his claim, and certificates re issued when the beneficiarr did not know be was ft claimant In proof of this assertion he sent to the clerk's desk and had read an article in ft Chicago paper to the eneet that lyommissioner tsiacs, nad is- soedft pension certificate to ex-Comrresaman Colonel W.

Mr. Mac Donald 1 am smart eaoueh to sav mat it not true. Mr. Mendersop 1 am smart enonsn to sav that it is true, and I ask tbe clerk to read the eopf of the letter from Colonel Morrison. lbs letter was from Colonel Morrison to the Chicago pension agent returning the eertifioate of pension and stating that he was at lose to know how it had beea issued, as he had taken no steps to obtain it, and did not contemplate taxing any steps.

Wabhtjcotox, April 20. Special Telegram. There is one provision in the bill for the i vision of the patent laws which will commend itself to public favor and people who are made to pay tribute to some of the monopolies which are created and promoted by the patent laws. That provision requires that every appli cation for a patent shall be finally disposed of either by approval or rejection within two days after the application shall have been filed. It probably is not generally known that those who control some of the monopoly patents find it to their advantage to indefinitely poet-pone final decisions as to applications.

WASSDtaTOK, April 20 Special Will the tariff bill be acted upon in the Hons prior to tbe Democratic Rational Convention? That is the question which now most interest the House. It lias not until recently been supposed that the Democrats had any other purpose with respect to this bill except to pass it at the earliest possible moment and to make it osr. tain that the bill should be sent to the Senate, if it is to be sent there at all, some time prior to una 5.

Incidents which bare occurred within the last few days, however, seem to indicata that ths Demoeratio leaders are considering the propriety of changing their programme. This is dus primarily to two causes: First, to the condition of general business in ths House; seoond, to ths doubt whether, after all, it may possible to pass tbe bill. Comment is scarcely neoessary to show what tbe state of public business ia It is fact that there never has been period, since the war at least, when tbe appropriation bills were in so wsiiaaiiov. it is still true that but one appropriation bill has become a law. That is the Military Academy bill, tbe consideration of Which rarelr ocennusa author hnnss more than a few hours.

Ths niw hiiia are aimer on me calendar or hare not yet been Mftmn A .1 uvui me committees, ine eonsidera-non of one or two of the largest bills is not very far advanced in the committee. Aside from the appropriation bills very few of the important measures wiu which ths calendars ars loaded have been considered, and it is now very certain that few of them will be considered. st tbe appropriation bills must be passed, aud it is essential to orderly administration that they ahould become laws before the expiration of the fiscal year, June 30. If they shall not become laws before that time it shall become necessary in, order to maintain ths govcramtiot to pass resolutions to extend tbe appropriations of the current year for an indefinite period. The administration of the House will sobiect itself to deserved criticism for failure to properly attend to the duties with which it charged.

These great appropriation bills can not bs considered in a short time. They must reoeive their first consideration in the committee of the whole, and in tbe committee of the wuoie there iano previous question. The temper of the House is not sucn as would make it possible to I .1 uv ui. 1 1 hiii vi suesv III 1 1 ft! and the discipline in tbe Demoeratio party would -not warrant the leaders in endeavoring to force the adoption of such a policy.
