LEADING EASTERN HOUSES.
THE BALTIMORE COPPER WORKS,
Messrs. Pope, Cole & Co., proprietors, are situated at the mouth of the harbor of Baltimore, immediately on the water front: cover a space of seven acres; contain twenty-two reverberatory and blast furnaces and refineries, also large sulphuric acid works. The capacity of the entire works, which is 10,000,000 Ibs. refined copper per annum, and silver product in addition, has not been fully tested since the non-importation of foreign ores; the product of domestic ores, that will bear transportation, not being yet sufficient to keep all the furnaces in active operation at all times. Ores bearing silver and copper are successfully treated by us here, and such material they buy in quantities, as offered, at full rates, delivered there. A through rate of freight from Denver to Baltimore can be obtained on very moderate terms. Delivery of ore at their works is covered by the through rate of freight, the cars going directly there. The seller has no expense to bear after delivery of ore. · Messrs. Pope, Cole & Co. furnish labor, etc., to weigh and sample, upon which process the seller is desired to attend, either in person or by representa- tive. Our mining companies would do well to make a note of this.
THE OWEN PAPER COMPANY, OF HOUSATONIC, MASS., 2
Is one of the oldest and largest institutions of the kind in this country. Their display of papers at the Centennial attracted great attention. Their list of papers is quite large, including writing, bond and note, wedding, etc. The former includes supertine and extra-superfine, in wove and laid, blue and white, high and low finish, flat and folded, ruled and plain, cut and put up in all the weights and sizes in general use. Also, a full line of blank-book papers in all sizes and weights in three different
231

grades. Of thin linen papers there is a complete line, including copying, blank folio, exchange cap, packet, commercial, letter and note papers, ruled and plain, wove and laid in antique and plate finish. There is also a line of linen bond, bank note and parchment papers, made in five different thicknesses, and eleven sizes of flats, besides folded notes, letters and legal caps. Be- sides, there are first-quality linen ledger, record and drawing papers from demy to "antiquarian," inclusive ; and, finally, there are the wedding royals, comprising some twenty different tints in novel and beautiful designs and a tasty variety of finish. The Owen Company's new first-class linen ledger and pure linen bond and writing papers stand very high among those who make use of that kind of paper. The fancy papers, manufactured under letters patent to Henry D. Cone, manager and sole pro- prietor of the company, excel in delicacy of tints, elegance of appearance, beauty of finish, and intrinsic excellence. Colorado buyers would do well to send for price-lists and samples of the Owen Paper Company's goods.
CRANE BROTHERS' MANUFACTURING COMPANY.
The gentlemen comprising this company are among the pio- neers and heaviest capitalists who invested in the Iron manufac- turing business in the northwest. When they first established their business in Chicago, they chose this point, fully believing it would be what it now is, the great distributing point of the "Western World," and their business, from small beginning, has grown to be among the first manufacturing enterprises of the country. They have their business thoroughly systematized, and divided into several different departments: 1st, drafting and patterns; 2d, iron foundry; 3d, malleable foundry and fit- ting department; 4th, wrought-iron pipe; 5th, brass foundry and fitting department; 6th, radiators, coils and screws, the manufacture of which goods is a specialty; 7th, steam warming and ventilating apparatus; 8th, steam-engines, boilers, passen- ger and freight elevators, steam pumps and general machinery. The balance of the departments, the general finishing business, etc., that follows this varied amount of manufacturing enter- prises, all embraced in one establishment. Every person inter-

ested in the purchase, sale, or use of machinery in Colorado, should make themselves familiar with the superior workman- ship, satisfactory prices, and unusual inducements in every way 'afforded by the Crane Bros.' Manufacturing Co. of Chicago.
AMERICAN TURBINE WATER WHEEL.
The firm of Stout, Mills & Temple, proprietors of the Globe Iron Works, Dayton, Ohio, are the successors of the first foun- dry and machine shop established in what is now the city of Dayton. The present firm has been organized twenty-three years. Their principal or leading business has been in flour mills, paper mills and saw mills, and a general foundry and machine business; but most prominent among their specialties at present is the manufacture of their celebrated American Tur- bine Water Wheel and general flour mill machinery, burr-mill- stones, and general mill furnishing. In this line they have not only a national reputation, but supply foreign countries with their turbine wheels. These turbines are undoubtedly at present, if not the very best extant, are certainly second to none in the market. Colorado millers and others needing machinery of this class should correspond with Messrs. Stout, Mills & Temple, Dayton, Ohio.
POND'S EXTRACT.
Among the many excellent family medicines which have from time to time appeared before the public, there is not one so generally useful, so simple, and so truly curative as Pond's Ex- tract. A glance over the long catalogue of ills and diseases which it is reputed to cure will convince us, if any faith can be placed in human testimony, that this is one of the rarest and most useful medicines, if not the most truly valuable remedy ever made known. For nearly thirty years it has been in exten- sive use among the people and profession ; and though its claims have been a thousand times subjected to searching scrutiny, yet in every instance these claims have been triumphantly vindi- cated. The people, to whom from long use and experience it has become indispensable, have universally given it their ap- proval; and the medical profession, though generally slow to
233
EDITORIAL NOTES.
admit a new medicine, or to endorse anything but their own practice, have, in thousands of instances, adopted it, and not only use it freely but cheerfully recommend it.
· CANNED GOODS.
The Portland Packing Company is the largest packing insti- tution, not only in the country, but in the whole world, operat- ing as they do twenty distinct and separate factories, and putting up in cans many tons of material annually. These factories are mostly situated on the coast of Nova Scotia, more particularly those in which lobsters are canned. Over 100,000 lobsters per day are thus disposed of. The company furnish all the material and essential necessaries to the fishermen, who catch the fish in traps set for the purpose; then the company have a number of little yachts, or smacks, which go round and pick up the fish, and carry them to the different packing houses, where they are weighed, boffed and packed the same day. By proceeding thus rapidly to pack while fresh, the lobster retains all its natural delicacy and flavor. The company pack all descriptions of meats, fish, poultry, soups for use on shipboard, corn, etc. The prin- cipal articles, however, are lobsters and corn, the amount annu- ally thus put up being over two million cans of lobsters, and of corn from two to two and a half millions, the other goods being very much less in volume. They have as high as 1,700 acres of corn under cultivation, which has to be raised very carefully, and is done successfully only by experts. Everything pertaining to the business is made by the company, including the cans, cases, boilers, etc., and in all the different operations, from the catching of the fish to cultivation of the land for vegetables, . manufacturing the cans, and the packing process, fully 4,000 persons are employed. Of the quality of these articles it is unnecessary to speak as only too well known, and the company has received no less than eight medals from different exposi- tions, including those last held at Vienna and Philadelphia. Let the tourist go on a pilgrimage to Egypt, and perchance, while slowly pacing along the 700-foot base of the gigantic pyramid of Ghizeh, with eyes upturned towards its lofty altitude, he sud- denly stumbles, looks down, and picks up an empty can, labeled

"Star Brand Lobster Portland Packing Company," thus forcibly bringing his mind back to home and less æsthetic subjects. Or let him ascend Mont Blanc, or even nearer home, the heights of the Rockies in the "Far West," and still be may be met with instances of this company's handiwork.
VERONA TOOL WORKS, PITTSBURGH.
The Verona Tool Works, of Pittsburgh, Metcalf, Paul & Co., proprietors, one of the leading establishments of the greatest of manufacturing cities, call attention in the DIRECTORY to their superior solid-eye solid steel picks, made in their own improved dies and machinery, and guaranteed to be the best pick ever made, at a price not much greater than a first-class iron pick, and FAK cheaper in the end. This firm have an extensive and growing trade throughout the West; and their goods sold in Colorado have proved all that has been claimed for them, and have a high reputation throughout the Far West as to durability and quality. Our miners, smiths and others requiring picks, tools, sledges, etc., would do well to send for circulars and price-lists. They have got up new machinery for making their solid steel picks, which will improve the quality and reduce the price.
ST. LOUIS LEAD AND OIL COMPANY.
This is one of the oldest and most extensive works in the West, and holds an immense trade built up by the superiority of its goods. J. Durbin, Esq., the Denver druggist, is their agent in Colorado.
SLIGO IRON STORE COMPANY, ST. LOUIS.
The Sligo Iron Works, of St. Louis, have for years held a large trade throughout the West, and have probably supplied to Colorado more iron, steel, and specialties in their line, than any other house. They have lately increased their facilities, having organized under the name of the Sligo Iron Store Company ; and, besides being manufacturers' agents and wholesale dealers in the best brands of merchant iron, steel, etc., keep in stock the largest variety of wagon and plow wood-work, and carriage material and trimmings. George D. Hall, who established the
235
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Sligo Iron House, becomes president and active manager of the new company. His frequent visits to Colorado have given him large acquaintance and popularity among' our dealers, and secured a good trade, which we doubt not will be largely in- creased during the present year.
BLAKE CRUSHER COMPANY.
The Blake Crusher Company, of New Haven, Conn., are patentees and manufacturers of the celebrated Blake Stone and Ore Crusher, which is in use all over the country. They have supplied large numbers of these crushers to all the mining dis- tricts in the various States and Territories from Colorado to California. They give universal satisfaction, and are, in fact, of such high repute that various infringements have been de- tected and prosecuted, and the Blake patent has been fully sus- tained by repeated decisions of the Courts. The Blake crushers are in use at all the leading reduction and sampling works at Central, Georgetown, San Juan, Gold Hill, and various other points in the mining districts of Colorado. They have received the highest endorsement from all parts of the country, and win gold medals wherever exhibited. . A more valuable machine has never probably been invented in this country. It is simple in its construction, strong in its build, not liable to derangement, and combines a maximum of durability and efficiency with low cost and great utility.
GEORGE BOHNER & CO., CHICAGO.
This firm are among the leading jobbers of lamps, chandeliers, kerosene goods and glassware in the West. They also carry a large stock of fruit jars, flasks, brackets, etc., and are manufac- turers of the celebrated "Bohner's Patent Extension Library Lamp," which is shown in the cut accompanying their adver- tisement, on another page. We have used this lamp, and give it our unqualified endorsement as a neat, cheap, pleasant and durable hanging lamp, suited to the library, dining room, hall,, or in fact to any part of the house. Large numbers are in use in Colarado.

HALLOCK, HOLMES & CO., CHICAGO.
In directing attention to the advertisement of this house, found on the first page of the DIRECTORY, it is sufficient to say that it has for years had a large and growing trade in Colorado, as indeed throughout the New West to the Pacific coast. The gentlemen comprising the firm take pride in maintaining the superiority of goods in the various lines for which this house has been so long and so justly celebrated.
GILBERT, HUBBARD & CO., CHICAGO.
No house is better known throughout this section of country than that of Messrs. Gilbert, Hubbard & Co., whose advertise- ment may be found next to the title page. They have built up a large trade in Colorado, in their goods, and always give satis- faction. Those who have lately started in business in the vari- ous new towns of the New West, and have not already favored this firm with their orders, would do well to give them a trial.
E. B. BENJAMIN, NEW YORK.
The attention of mining companies, and others interested, is called to the advertisement of E. B. Benjamin, New York, found on another page. He is importer and manufacturer of all kinds of apparatus for mineral and chemical analysis, assayers' tools, mining implements, crucibles, etc. He has supplied con- siderabe quantities of goods in his line to Colorado, and they have been found of the very best quality. All engaged in mining, smelting, or in the treatment of ores in any way, will do well to send to Mr. Benjamin for his large illustrated catalogue, which gives descriptions aud price-list of his various kinds of apparatus.
CHICAGO SHOT TOWER COMPANY.
The advertisement of this extensive and well-known establish- ment appears in the front part of the DIRECTORY. Its goods have been in use throughout the West and New West for years ; and, owing to their superiority, have monopolized pretty much all the trade in that line, particularly in the new states and ter- ritories.

GEO. M. MOWBRAY, NORTH ADAMS, MASS.
The use of nitro-glycerin is becoming more and more a popu- lar and successful agent in mining, and has worked wonders. It is the most powerful explosive known. Geo. M. Mowbray, Esq., of North Adams, Mass., owner of the Tri-Nitro-Glycerin Works, has a page advertisement in the DIRECTORY, which our mine own- ers would do well to consult. The nitro-glycerin manufactured at these works obtained two medals and two diplomas of merit at the Centennial, Mr. Mowbray being the only explosive manufac- turer whose products were deemed deserving any recognition. He also supplies mica blasting powder, and Mowbray's "powder keg" battery, for simultaneously firing a series of mines or drilled holes. These new explosives give a saving of 30 to 60 per cent., and convert a tedious, expensive mining operation into a prompt success, making the progress in a single month that would take powder six months to accomplish. The Sutro Tunnel Co., and Gold Hill Mining Co., of Nevada, are using these materials largely, and give them very high recommendation. Send for price lists and descriptive pamphlet. It would be the best thing that could happen to Colorado mining interests to have Mow- bray's explosives largely introduced.
BANKING.
No banking house is better known in the West, or has higher repute throughout the country, than that of Gilman, Son & Co., New York. Several of the prominent banks of Colorado keep their Eastern deposits there, and our mining capitalists and stock men have large dealings with them. They pay particular attention to Western business; and financial institutions or in- dividuals needing banking facilities in New York can intrust their favors to no safer or better hands.
UNION HORSE NAIL COMPANY.
The Union Horse Nail Company, of Chicago, are manufactur- ers of the "Star" nails, a brand that has been introduced in Colorado, and met with a very large sale in a short time, owing to merit and superiority. We have seen voluntary cards from

some of our leading hardware and livery men, giving very high praise and preference to these nails. They are worthy a more extensive introduction in all the new regions of the Far West, and we look for an immense sale of the "Star" brand in these markets.
M. C. BIGNALL & CO., ST. LOUIS. -
This firm, whose advertisement may be found on another page, manufactures pumps, pipe and fittings, brass goods, hose, ·belting, plumbers' goods, etc. Their goods have had consider- able sale in the markets of Colorado, and give great satisfaction. Buyers would do well to send for their price lists and descriptive catalogues. Being a large and extensive house, their various specialties are always kept on hand, in immense stock and variety.
