EURNSIDE BRIDGE BUSY.

, l : ;,..;. ayn Xaot Tea. .
During the year 1101 there were If,
, to vessels which passed through the
draw of the Burnslde street bridge. The
, engineer in charge of the structure says
' the average length of time the draw
waa open te allow each craft to pass
", through waa five, minutes. Fifteen
. thouaand and three hundred multiplied
by five gives a product of TMOO. ths
, minutes the Brsw stood open for the
total number, of vessels. This sum
jdlvlded by and then by 14 gives a
' (quotient of It 1-1. the number of daya
, tha draw had to stand open to permit
ihe pssssgs of ths craft.
' While the great maJorttojMthjSjres-1
seta were small rtver boats, r-ny of
them were Muare-rlggere s j large
steamships. Those' who kept tally on
them did not note the rig of tha vessels
and consequently . are. not In a postyion
to give ma. exact nu nicer oi tne oeep-
wa tor draft. Just a note waa mads of
each vessel which passed through and
ths length or urns tne draw had tv
stand open. - It-seldom required more
than seven minutes for traffic across
the bridge to resume after .the' bell
sounded for the draw to be opened.
Excepting foot passengers, all of the
travel across the Steel bridge next week
ill be thrown to the Burnslde struc
ture, 4 Bids for the repair of. the upper
deck of the former will be opened on
Saturday. New planking will be laid
and the old streetcar rails will be re
placed with heavier Ones.
It la estimated that fully lis cars
ill than cross - the Burnslde - street
bridge every hour during the day. 'That
will mean three every minute, and the
tenders say they are going to have to
employ every' precaution In order to
keep traffio from getting blocked. The
team . travel there will also be about
doubled until tha repairs to the bridge
anticipated In keeping tha draws open
whenihe boats whistle for an opening.

Firstly, tba governors of Colorado and

whom not the least particle of evidence
of wrongdoing had been presented, ' Sec

particularly . reprehensible. - in that he
delivered over to a number of kidnapers

could not .help knowing wait an absolute
absurdity. . ... , . ' r
These men were charged with explod
ing the bomb- which killed .the former
