We left Denver on August twenty-second over the Moffet road and had a long wonderful ride through the mountains. The Rockies have a sweep, a limitless sweep, majestic and grand. For many miles we crossed no streams, and climbed and wound up barren slopes. Once across the divide, however, we descended into a country of black forests and green valleys.
"American Charities," p. 40. Proceedings of the Nineteenth Conference of Charities, Denver, 1892, pp. 91 sq. There is a new school of philanthropists that are inclined to make light of thrift, and to class both industry and thrift among the merely "economic virtues."

At the time I was there, the temple was about four feet above the ground and workmen had been continuously at work for seven years. Up to that time, I was the only Gentile who had ever explored the underground workings of the temple. I went from Salt Lake to Denver. I had calculated to preempt a hundred and sixty acres of land in or about Denver, and stopped over there for a few days.

"In physical structure the Cliff Dweller presents a greater variety than is found in any race except the Caucasian.
Part of this section of country western Kansas particularly had been frequently disturbed and harassed during two or three years past, the savages every now and then massacring an isolated family, boldly attacking the surveying and construction parties of the Kansas-Pacific railroad, sweeping down on emigrant trains, plundering and burning stage-stations and the like along the Smoky Hill route to Denver and the Arkansas route to New Mexico.
"Well?" he said, and Denver forgot everything but the question that was on his tongue. "Say," he burst out, "who is this Colonel Dodge that came up and bought your mine? Is he working for Murray, or what?" "Search me," grumbled Bunker, "I got his thousand dollars, and that's about all I know."
"I'm afraid I can't help the situation, for if I've been playing a part, it has been an unconscious one." "That's the worst of it. When you star as Waring Ridgway you are most dangerous. What I want is total abstinence." "You'd rather I didn't see her at all?" Virginia dimpled, a gleam of reminiscent laughter in her eyes. "When I was in Denver last month a Mrs.
