The seasons indeed are well de fined; but they glide lightly by in winters whose keenest rigors are only enlivening and exhilarating, and summers serene and refresh ing with mellow gradations between of spring time and autumn completing a cycle character ized most by its prevalence of sunshine, and by light, dry and tonic properties of the air, that are a healing balm for many of the most serious ills the ﬂesh is heir to. The savants declare that the atmosphere of the city has an electrical quality; it is a common saying in Denver, expressive of the zest it gives to life, that it is a luxury to breathe it; and in the breadth of view, and buoyant spirits of the people, that are the counterparts of the ample prospect and the cheering climate, it is easy to discover the inspiriting inﬂuence of environ ment upon the popular habits and character. The mean temperature or denver - disclosed by sixteen years signal service observations - is 49. The average of the highest readings of the thermometer, during those sixteen years, was 86; of the lowest, 7. By the same record the mean daily range was 24, the average annual rainfall of 15 inches, the average velocity of the wind an hour, six miles, and the average num ber of clear and fair weather days a year, 309. The average number of sunshiny days in Denver is 29 a month. From the 3oth of October, 1879, until February sth, 1881, fifteen months, the sun was not obscured all of any one day.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Public Archives of the State of Colorado This report on the archives of the State of Colorado covers the period since the admission of the State into the United States in 1876. N o attempt has been made to compile here a complete bibliography of the publications of the State, for that work is already in the competent hands of Mrs. Mary F. Miller, deputy librarian, who is preparing such a list for R. R. Howker's Catalogue of State Publications. But the attempt is made to describe the various instruments of administration in the State, and to give such an account of the public records created and preserved by them as may be of use to the historical student, present and to come. There is no general law in Colorado to provide for the preservation of the public records. This work is left entirely to the discretion of the respective officials of the State, and, as a result, in those offices whose daily work does not compel constant reference to the archives there is practically no knowledge of periods previous to the present administration, and little regard for the records of the past.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of the People, of the State of Colorado The character of the land - its fertility resources, loca tion and extent - determines the occupations of the people. The occupations of the people, together with their former training, determine the form of government for the State. A State with fertile soil and favorable climate, exten sive forests of timber, and vast stores of minerals, requires a form of government and special laws that will regulate agriculture, lumbering and mining. The special laws of a State containing a navigable river will probably pertain to commerce. The chief resources of Colorado are (1) fertile soil and (2) a great variety of minerals. These resources indicate the occupations of the people, and the occupations in turn indicate the Special character of the laws of the State.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Colorado, Vol. 3 of 3: Prepared Under the Supervision of the State Historical and Natural History Society of Colorado With the prospectors seeking gold in our mountains in 1858 and 1859 there was little need for banks. Most of these Argonauts were poor. Their wealth consisted only of their personal belongings, supplies and provisions. They had little money and there was little need for any. The great West was yet to be opened to industry and commerce. In general it was uninhabited, save for wandering tribes of Indians. The scattered traders carried on their business by barter and in the primitive state of development of the western country no banking services were in demand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Colorado, Vol. 2 of 3: Prepared Under the Supervision of the State Historical and Natural History Society of Colorado The first successful colony on the neighboring Martinez grant, west of the Rio Grande, was established in 1854. The promoter of this colony was J osé Maria J aquez, who selected a site at Guadaloupe, on the Conejos River, in August of that year. While final preparations were being made to move to the new location in the autumn of 1854, the colonists were joined by Major Lafayette Head of Ser villeta.11 Head was a Missourian who had gone to Santa Fé in 1846 as a private under the command of Colonel Sterling Price. At the expiration of his term of service he decided to remain in New Mexico, where, as merchant and colonizer, he rose to a position of inﬂuence among his Mexican friends as is shown by his subsequent elections to the legislatures of New Mexico and Colorado. In spite of troubles with the Indians, the Conejos colonists retained their lands; the population of Conejos County in 1868 was estimated at mostly Mexicans.12 Apart from an occasional Indian scare, it was a quiet life that the Mexicans lived in the San Luis Valley. Their principal industry was grazing, and for theirﬂocks and herds there was an abundance of land and grass and water. In agriculture they followed the crude methods used by their fathers for generations before them. They were scarcely touched by the rushing currents of life in the outside world.

The files of The Tribune were incomplete, nearly the whole of the first year being missing, while The Sun has no files previous to 1885. The deficiency above pointed out, is made good to a certain extent by the care of H. T. West who has collected in a Scrap Book a large number of news paper articles relating to the colony during the first three years. Mr. West has been kind enough to put this in my hands together with other valuable documents, some of which will be printed in full in the appendix.

In a very general way the system forms two parallel ranges running north and south, joined by subsidiary east and west connections; between these are the great mountain parks, open Wide valleys rather bare of trees, and situated at elevations of to feet. The chief of these are North and South Parks, drained by the North and South Platte rivers, which meet out in the plains of Nebraska and join the Missouri near Omaha Middle Park, drained by the Grand River, the principal af uent of the Colorado River of the west, draining into the Gulf of California; and the San Luis Valley, draining into the Rio Grande on the south.
