It is one mile above the sea-level - 5,280 feet. Climate perfect: no extremes of heat or cold. Population, 1898, 175,000; including suburbs, 225,000. City is noted for its magnificent public and private buildings. The public schools are the finest in this country. Bank Clearings, about $200,000,000 yearly; wholesale trade, $45,000,000; manufactures, $50,000,000; retail trade, $30,000,000. Fine churches of all denominations - 150 in all. There are 55 public school buildings, not surpassed in America. The city is watered direct from the mountains, the water being of exceptional purity. There are a dozen trunk lines of railway, and 175 miles of electric and cable street-car lines. Denver is considered the marvel of the West, and is growing with remarkable strides." |
