Gothic City.

4 From the Elk Mountain Bonanza
we gather the following items in re-
gard to the location and prospects Of
that camp:
Gothic is located at the confluence
of East river and Copper creek. 1t is
distant about forty miles from Gun
nison, twelve miles from Ruby (across
the mountains) and is, by trail, about
SIX miles from Crested Butte.
The town site of Gothic dates from
about one year ago but before had
been a camping ground for several
seasons. The mining excitement al
that place was really started by the
Jennings brothers, of this city, when
ON the 9TH of June, 1879, they discov-
cred the Sylvanite mine, one of the
richest in the Gunnison country.
From that time Gothic began TO grow
and that place and its vicinity within
a radius of We miles contains a pop
ulation of twelve hundred. a large
number of business and dwelling
houses are being erected and the
town promises to flourish vigorous
ly as one of the best in the Eik noun
tain district <

A New SDrinklpr.

Mr.. Clark Wood has invented street
sprinkler that works on novel pan, and
from what we saw of the working model
we think it will be great help to our dusty
streets. 1t has two air pumps connected
with it which is worked by the power OBJ
tanned while the wheels of the wagon are
turning. The condensed air forces the wa
ter out of the jets so that ii will sprinkle Il
width of twenty-five feet while going up
or Down a street. 1t is claimed shat thi,
new machine will DO the work of three OF
the spiinklers now in use, and in such Il
case would be q great saving of man and
horse hire. The sprinkling of our streets
from the new depot to the soda springs is a
necessity, and if we can have il done with
out much additional expense it will be a
blessing to our town. Mr.. Wood offers to
donate the right of use to Canon City if they
viii put up one of these wagons to work on
our streets. This is liberal offer and we
hope our city fathers will accept it.

Our free reading room is an institution to
which Canon City can point with pride and
every day it is being improved, and its use
fulness enlarged. Itnow contains over 15C
volumes, which are used as circulating
library for which is charged only ten ceuts
per week for the privilege of reading the
books at home. There are over 70 papers
of all kinds on file including the dailes,
weeklies and monthly periodicals. Mr.
Dennis has improved and ventilated the
room of late and has added to the cheer
fulness of the place by putting in large
window i'll front. We trust the lecture for
the benefit of this worthy institution will
be literally patronized both on account of
the object and the high character of the
discourse which our people are sure to
receive whenever they listen to an address
from Mr.. Hopkins.

Where humanity is never melted,
Where men are all made of bone,
And the land with 'tmint juleps" beltod
There let us go,

And the ice bergs crash.
Let the breakers foam,

But drinking,
Blinking,

Wen grind out another 'pome,"
