	James H. White, who is in the city representing the Edison kinetoscope, was driven over the line of march on Sunday and was greatly pleased with it. The directors will erect a stand for him and his instruments at Colfax and Broadway. It is his intention to take if possible views of the masked ball, which occurs the second evening, the night parade of the Silver Serpents and views of their ball. The views of both day and night scenes will be sent all over the world and will be a great advertisement for the city and state. The Daily News, Denver, mercredi 29 septembre 1897, p. 10. Col. S. K. Hooper, general passenger agent of the Denver & Rio Grande, has been in correspondence with Thomas A. Edison for some time with this end in view. Mr. Edison finally concluded to take all of the principal features of the festival with his kinetograph, and commissioned James H. White to this duty. Mr. White arrived here a day or two ago with 25,000 feet of film for this purpose. Theses pictures will be developed and shown in all the kinetograph entertainments on the globe. The Florence Daily Herald, Florence, mercredi 29 septembre 1897, p. 1.
