  • Personal Recollections of Early Denver
    Personal Recollections of Early Denver .J OSEPII EMERSOX S11nTn* Recollections, like everything else, must have a beginning, and my first memory of early Denver has to do with a Fourth of .July Christmas. It has remained vivid, unforgettable, undoubtedly because of th<:' successive shocks to the sensitive ear drums of a small child. Tt was prior to the Chinese riot of 1880 and the large Chinatown of the city, extending from Sixteenth along vVazee and Vlynkoop streets and directly in the rear of the American House for seYeral blocks, was a busy mart, a growth of the steady immi­ gration of the "Celestials" to Colorado, where thousands had been, and still were, employed in placer mining around Central City, at Fairplay, Tarryall, California Gulch, and other gold camps. Chinatmn1 was their suppl~' source. Here \Yere silk and clothing shops, stores of exotic atmosphere with shelves crowded with im­ ports, fine tea, spices, drugs, and foods from China, tapestries, fans, laces, and there were many laundries. Underground floors were tunnels leading to burrows and the larger rooms where Nepen- 1heized sleepers lay in bunks, the air sticky and sweet with the fumes of opium. 'l'he steam laundry hadn't come, and the Chinese had a monop­ oly on laundering. 'l'o homes all over the city trotted the tireless, affable, pig-tailed little yellow men in their blue-black tunics, flap­ ping trousers and felt white-soled slippers, delivering newspaper­ wrapped bundles.

Norton, Chair State of Colorado Colorado State Capitol Building 200 East Colfax Avenue, Room 130 Denver, CO 80203 Phone: 303-866-3027 FAX: 303-866-5469 Website: http://www.colorado.gov/ltgovernor/initiatives/indianaffairs.html Dear Citizens of Colorado: Cultures, societies and individuals are all a product of their histories. Legacies shape us; they define our identity. The American Indians in Colorado are a fundamental part of our heritage and, more importantly, their influence is crucial to Colorado’s character today. With this in mind, I am both proud and honored to have a key role in bettering the lives of Colorado’s American Indian community. The Colorado Commission of Indian Affairs is pleased to present the fifth edition of the Colorado Directory of American Indian Resources. The Commission is dedicated to serving with the Ute Mountain Ute and Southern Ute Tribes, as well as the Native American community throughout Colorado. Through educational, occupational, economic, and health–based efforts, the commission aspires to improve the overall quality of life for Colorado’s American Indians while preserving the culture and traditions that are so important to our history. Government–to–government communication has been and will continue to be imperative in achieving this objective. The Commission, in association with the Colorado Legislature and the Rocky Mountain Indian Chamber of Commerce, has already procured funding for the American Indian Scholarship Fund. Native American specialty license plates, the first of their kind in Colorado, finance the fund with the proceeds from their sales.

    Wild Connections Conservation Plan for the Pike & San Isabel National Forests Chapter 5 – Complexes: Area-Specific Management Recommendations This section contains our detailed, area-specific proposal utilizing the theme based approach to land management. As an organizational tool, this proposal divides the Pike-San Isabel National Forest into eleven separate Complexes, based on geo-physical characteristics of the land such as mountain ranges, parklands, or canyon systems. Each complex narrative provides details and justifications for our management recommendations for specific areas. In order to emphasize the larger landscape and connectivity of these lands with the ecoregion, commentary on relationships to adjacent non-Forest lands are also included. Evaluations of ecological value across public and private lands are used throughout this chapter. The Colorado Natural Heritage Programs rates the biodiversity of Potential Conservation Areas (PCAs) as General Biodiversity, Moderate, High, Very High, and Outranking Significance. The Nature Conservancy assesses the conservation value of its Conservation Blueprint areas as Low, Moderately Low, Moderate, Moderately High and High. The Southern Rockies Ecosystem Project's Wildlands Network Vision recommends land use designations of Core Wilderness, Core Agency, Low and Moderate Compatible Use, and Wildlife Linkages. Detailed explanations are available from the respective organizations. Complexes – Summary List by Watershed Table 5.1: Summary of WCCP Complexes Watershed Complex Ranger District

  • Bill Jennings' Key to Phlox
    KEY TO PHLOX OF COLORADO PREPARED BY BILL JENNINGS APRIL 29, 1999 The similarity of Phlox flowers from species to species does not offer much upon which to construct a key, except plant stature and habitat, the tack taken in most floras. However, taken together, the dimensions of the plant, leaves, and flowers; characteristics of the calyx; pubescence; habitat; blooming season; and elevation seem to separate the species of Phlox. Considering the similarity of the flowers, most species of Phlox are probably pollinated by the same or similar pollinators. It is probable that only by temporal, ecological, and elevational differences do the taxa maintain their distinctiveness as species. Where species share the same range and habitat, one should expect difficulty in separating species of Phlox. 1. Plants east of Continental Divide...2 1. Plants west of Continental Divide...11 2. Plants of the eastern plains (generally east of I-25)...3 2. Plants of the foothills, mountains, and tundra...6 3. cushionlike, densely caespitose plants, less than about 5 cm tall; leaves densely woolly, closely overlapping, scale-like, less than 5 mm long; flowers white to bluish, tube 5-10 mm, lobes 3-5 mm, style 2-5 mm; blooming mid-May to mid-June, peaking June 9; often in cracks in rock outcrops or on rocky sites, usually on calcareous substrates, in Logan, Weld, and Larimer Counties within about 30 miles of the Wyoming state line...Phlox muscoides (Phlox bryoides) (This can be difficult to distinguish from somewhat caespitose plants of Phlox hoodii, but Phlox muscoides is copiously woolly pubescent, is usually restricted to very rocky sites, and blooms later; see lead 5B for more characteristics of Phlox hoodii).
