Will. Canon have the honor OF
sending company to war? If she
does not II is not the lack Of bravery
or patriotism on the part of those who
would go. There is now being drilled
a company of fifty members. all OF
whom are anxious 10 be taken at the
next call. What they want now is
some influence to see that the Canon
company is accepted by the governor
in making up the next regiment. This
should not be hard to find. All
Canon should be interested in seeing
this company accepted and TO know
that our boys had something to do
with the great victory our nation will
win. Captain Tice and Lieutenant
Baughman have done well so far and
it Is to be hoped they may have an
opportunity Of seeing active service.

FOUND DYING.
Land He Seeks Death by
Starvation.

On wednesday last as l. D. Brewer
was scouting around in the brush on
the river bank below Sells Island h,
came upon the emanciated form of {
man wrapped in blankets and lying
PROSTATE upon the ground. AT first
Mr.. Brewer thought the form was
lifeless, but bending over the silent
figure he discovered that life still
fingered. He soon succeeded in rous.
ing the man from his lethargic state
sufficiently to learn his name and the
cause of his forlorn, deserted condi-
ton. Securing help Mr.. Brewer re-
moved the poor fellow to Sells bunk
house where restoratives and food
Ie applied with excellent results
The mans story would furnish the
material for tirst-class novel, having
in it the elements of romance, pathos
and comedy, but it apparently is not
fairy tale. He says his name is
Baker and couple of weeks ago he
came down from Cripple Creek foot
sore, weary and penniless, having
spent some time tramping the hills OF
the great gold camp in search of work
but meeting disappointment on every
corner. Reaching Canon completely
discouraged he hunted up shady
bower on the banks of the Arkansas
and lay him down to die under the
bright canopy of heaven. Shortly
after finding a resting place he had
the misfortune of spraining an ankle,
rendering him unable to seek either
work or food, hence his determination
to find relief in death. For thirteen
long, weary days the rolling waters
of the turbulent river sang requiem
to his distorted brain while the pangs
of hunger gnawed at his vitals and
ecianciated his once plump figure, sap
ping the very marrow from his bones.
When he left Cripple Creek his weight
was lT5 pounds. now heis a veritable
walking skeleton. mere skin and bones,
Being fed the mans spirits revived
and the desire to kick off this mortal
coil departed, leaving him in q fair
way to live long life. However he
is not beyond that stage where a lit
tie well directed charity would prove
beneficial and be appreciated.

A RICH STRIKE.
A Cripple Creek Timer Opens Fine
Vein OF Copper Ore in Free
mont County.

The Cripple Creek Citizen publishes
an interesting item about arich strike
in Frement county which runs sixty
dollars in gold and sixty per cent cop
per. 1t appears that a. A. Sloan, a
miner residing in Cripple Creek who
has been prospecting in the neighbor-
hood of Camp Howard, forty miles
west of Canon City, has opened up a
vein of ore which gives promise of be-
coming real bonanza. He says:
"At depth of thirty feet a vein 6
feet wide has been encountered, Is
inches of which is almost solid mineral
running $50 in gold and 60 per cent
copper. Samples have been taken to
Pueblo where the smelters on account
of its fiuxing properties are reported
to have agreed to treat the mineral
free of charge"
A handsome specimen of ore from
the new find has been placed on ex-
hibition at the National hotel, Cripple
Creek, where it is attracting the at
tention of many mining men and doubt
less will be the means of sending many
prospectors into the field from which
it was taken. If one-half of what is
said about the discovery be true, Ere
mont county may prepare to accom-
modate one Of the biggest and richest
mining camps known to the world.
Further developments will be awaited
with intense interest by the people at
large, and the RECORD truly hopes
the prospect may develop into mine
of goodly proportions.

International Mining Congress.

SALT LAKE CITY, June l0.-Nearly
a thousand delegates have been ap-
pointed to attend the international
Mining Congress which meets in this
city on July 9Th, Tth Sth and 9th.
This does not include the delegations
at large from Colorado, Wyoming.
California and seven other states
which have indicated their intention
of being represented but have moi yet
announced their appointments.
The delegates, of whose appoint
ment official notice has been received,
come from twenty-four different states
and lSS cities. Most of them are
directly interested in some branch of
mining, and all of them are personally
concerned in the objects of the Con-
greSs. There will be a big reception
at one of the great resorts on the
Great Salt Lake, at which salt water
bathing, dancing and other amuSe-
ments will be open TO the guests.
There will be special excursions to the
large mining camps close by, where
visitors will be guests OF the camp
and will have some of the largest
mines in the country opened for their
inspection. A complimentary concert
will be given in the Tabernacle by the
Mormon Tabernacle chcir of LOCO
voices. An entertainment for the
ladies who accompany delegates is al
so in contemplation. and it will not be
Salt Lakes fault if the pleasure of the
occasion does not equal its practical
benefits.
Railroad rates of a single fare plus
81 for the round trip will be given
from all points between Chicago and
San Francisco. and indications point
to very large attendance larger
even than at Denver last year when
over thousand delegates were
present.

THE proposition of some member
of the City Council to reduce the pay
for street laborers to Is cents per
hour, $l20 per day, and for teams
and teamsters to 30 cents per hour,
$40 per day, is not meeting with
the kindest remarks from all. 1t is
generally thought that the laborer
does not now get any too much pay
and that to reduce wages would be .
rank injustice. 1t is pleasing to note
that majority of the council iave
not agreed to the reduction and it
will hardly be made.

THE Denver papers neglected to
call attention to the Oregon state
election which occurred Monday. The
reason is probably that the Republi'
can party scored sweeping victory
against fusion of the Populists and
Democrats. The new legislature is
largely Republican and the new United
States senator soon to be elected will
be straight Republican.

improvement Of Greenwood Avenue,

An effort is being made by the
property holders on Greenwood ave
nue. to interest the city in grading
and grayelling that already beautiful
thoroughfare. People owning prop
erty and living on the street offer tc
contribute 500 toward meeting the
expense If the city will appropriate
the balance. Up to the present time
nearly all the expense of keeping the
street up has been borne By these
people bpt they have never complained
nor hesitated when the need arose for
the outlay Of more money in this
direction, and the result Is that today
Greenwood avenue is one of the finest
streets in the city from Second to Sixth
streets. The intervening distance 10
Ninth street cannot be Dragged on,
but below Ninth good street has
been made and that end will soon
equal, II not excel, the upper end.
Taking the class of improvements
along this thcroughfare into CONSIDER
alton i; will be found that they com
pare very fayorably with those of any
other section of the city. To enumer-
ate the nicely kept places and fine
residences beginning at the east end,
there il Capt Mingay's residence,
Mrs. Browns place, D. 4. Gibson's, A.
C. Browns, the High School grounds,
n. T. Handy. W. B. MCGEE, D. G..
Keirsey, Henry Earle. George Bethel,

Reynolds, Il. S. Lewis, Mrs Sheetz.
Judge Bailey, the Presbyterian par
sonage, and the Joel property, JEFF
Tong, the old Blake property. of the
more prominent, and innumerable
smaller places whose owners have an
eye to beauty. From many of these
places the fences have been removed,
thus throwing two or three lawns
together and greatly increasing the
effect. Both sides of the steeet are
bountifully supplied with shade trees,
while towering shrubs abound its en-
tire length.
Good streets are the stock in trade
of any town, and the city council
should not stop with the Improvement
OF Main street but should extend the
laudable work to River and Macon
and Greenwood and Harrison includ-
ing the cross streets. Many OF the
streets in all parts of the city are in
deplorable condition even in dry
weather and it is to be hoped that the
honorable members of the council
will rise to the occasion and begin the
improvement by accepting the propo-
sition of the Greenwood avenue people
trusting that residents of the other
localities mentioned will do likewise.
1t is a foregone conclusion that not
more than one man in the city would
object to an order of this kind being
issued, and again it is urged upon the
council TO do it.

A Delightful Party.

In honor of the anniversary of the
birth of her husband which fell on the
18th of June, Mrs. Carrier assisted
by her sister Miss Agnes Cameron
planned and executed pleasant sur
prise for the doctor by inviting thir-
teen of his intimate gentlemen friends
to six o'clock dinner. So perfectly
was the deception carried out that
when Doc reached the house at ten
minutes past six he found the party
seated at the handsomely arranged
table awaiting his arrival. Complete
ly taken aback at first, Doc soon re-
covered his presence of mind and en-
tering into the spirit of the trick be-
came the jolly host that he is. Stories,
"reminiscences and levity were indulged
in while full justice was done the de-
licious spread before them, speaking
volumes for the ladies who prepared
it.
The guests were Judge Cooper, W.
Il. Galley, A. NJ. Hawley. c. C. Daw-
son, Frank McFarlane, Hunter Palmer,
George f. Rockafe!low. DR.. Kellen-
berger, l., X. Kohlman and A. r.

4 YOUaG RUNAWAY
FOUND AT THE P., w. & B. STA
TION BY OFFICER AlAIlONEY.

FOUND AT THE P., w. & b. STA
TION BY OFFICER NAIONEY.
Raymond Guntz, 13 years Of age, OF
No 231 Thirty-sixth street, Brooklyn.
N. Y, was arrested at the P., w. & B.
railroad station by OFFICER Maloney and
taken to the police station.
The story told by the lad is peculiar
in some respects. He says his father,
George Guntz, is tinsmith by trade,
residing in Brooklyn, and works at
Morris tin works on Twenty-sixth
street. On Wednesday morning last
his father cruelty whipped ana beat
him with rope and strap because he
had stayed out all the night previous
with crowd of men and boys around
THE World building in New York.
On account OF this treatment Ray
mOnd says that he ran AWAY on We'd
nesday and, boarding a freight train,
he started to beat his way to Baltimore,
where he says he has brother, who is
a member of Battery D, Fourth Artil-
lery, stationed at Fort Mcaenry. On
the freight train HE met a soldier by
the name Of James Call, who persuaded
him TO get of at this city. He did so
and says he spent Thursday night at
No. S24 Monroe street, where the man
took him, saying that ne was engaged
10 a young woman who lived there.
Guntz says Call brought him down
to the depot and, asking him to wait
a moment, disappeared and did not re-
turn. At the patrol station, when ques-
toned by Detective Witsil the boy said
THAT he had am uncle in Baltimore who
he was going to live with. He cried
and said he did not want to go home,
as his father threatened to hang him
UP by the thumbs for twenty-four
hours If he stayed out over night again.
He also said that this was the third
time he had left home, going once TO
Pittston, Pa, where he remained two
weeks. The boy evidently knows New
York and came from There, as me an
swered the officers promptly regarding
localities in that city.
Officer MalOney took him to the Hall
and gave him in charge Of the matron
and Judge Ball committed him to the
charge OF Agent Stout, of the S. P. c.
c., who will investigate the case and
notify the boys parents.
