stream of wagons, carriages, and
horses on the trail from Canon
City to Dawson showed that the
excitement caused by the strike
in the Copper King had not in
the least abated,
Probably thousand people, in
cluding prospectors, mining ex-
perts, capitalists, newspaper repre-
sentatives, and tenderfeet, from all
over the state, visited tho Copper
King yesterday. Wagonloads of
lumber arrived during the day, and
while the sun set upon four
restaurants, one saloon, one
grocery and one general store, be-
fore this article reaches its readers
there will be at least another sal
loon, and a meat market opened.
and a lodging house will be in
process of construction. Dawson
City is located about four and
half miles southwest of Canon City
and about half mile below the
Copper King mine in the Green
Horn range. The town company
were kept busy answering ques-
tions of spectators as to options
price of lots, etc They also say that
the sale of lots today amounted to
between $4,000 and $4,000 and as
soon as the entire town plat is com.
Work on the Town Company's
placer claims will begin at noon
tomorrow, a large force Of practical
placer miners having been employ.
ed for that purpose.
Picks, shovels, hammers, glasses
and stakes were yesterday every
where in evidence, and claims
were staked out for miles in every
direction. B#a
The policy of the owners of the
new strike in covering up the lead
made many of the visitors skeptical
and everywhere could be heard
the question, "If they have any
thing why don't they show it?"
The matter was explained by Mr..
Dawson to the effect that on Fri
day while the lead was exposed,
several hundred dollars worth of
mineral was carried away by
specimen seekers.
BY proving beyond shadow of
doubt that the, writer was a
newspaper representative, Mr..
Dawson admitted him into the
mysterious cabin, and proceeded
to tell him something of the
strike. 81 am not from Missouri,
Mr.. Dawson said the reporter,
"but / should like to be shown u
Mr.. d. explained that if there
weren't such mob out in front
he would uncover the vein, but
he handed his visitor a specimen
of granite formation carrying free
gold which he declared was taken
from the vein.
Leading men of Canon say that
the proprietors of the Copper
King are men whose veracity is
never doubted, and that they, mus
be acting in good faith. What
ever the extent of the vein may be
the fact remains that there is gold
present on the Copper King claim
The writer saw handful of dir
panned that was thrown out by
the blast made to cover the vein
with the result that a half inch o
gold was disclosed. The principa
question however is whether the
find is simple pocket or true
vein. 1t is said that the vein car
be followed indefinitely in I
northwesterly direction.
The location of the new CAM
