My Creed and Mines: Verse, Faith, and Colorado Prospect
The poem by Laura Redden extols a universal creed of one God and one love, enduring through suffering and separation, with faith that true souls remain bound across time. The Colorado Mining Review notes nickel ore prospects west of Fort Collins with a five foot vein, four percent nickel, and potential profitability if properly developed. Meanwhile, Golden coal mines near the southwest edge see a fourteen-horse engine set up by Nichols and Jones, shaft at 100 feet, future output increases, and ten workers now, rising with demand.
