The Crop Report.

The average temperature for the
week was about normal. The week
opened with decidedly cool weather
especially in the central and western
portions of the state, where the tenn
pcrature was between 40 and so de-
grees on the 18th and 10th. This was
followed by a rapid rise in temper
allure toward the end OF the week, the
last three days being very not, with
temperatures ranging from 80 to 100
degrees.
There was almost a total lack OF
precipitation in the southern and cen
trail counties during the week, but In
the extreme northern section the rains
were continuous and heavy and de-
layed the completion of haying. Rain
is badly needed, except in the extreme
northern counties, to mature the re-
naming crops and place the soil IN
condition for fall ploughing.
The hot weather during the latter
part of the week was very favorable
for corn, which made rapid advance
ment and with favorable weather will
mature in from four to six weeks.
The crop is generally in very salts
factory condition and large yield is
anticipated.
Threshing is well under way. Oats
are not turning out as we'll as antici
pated. but barley is yielding we'll
Wheat is generally poor
The dry hot weather has not been
favorable for potatoes, especially the
late paintings. Early varieties are
matured and yielding we'll.
The harvesting of tobacco has be-
gun and will be general next week
The crop is exceptionally good. There
has been very little damage from hal
during the season, and the leaves are

THREE HoLDUPs CAPTURED.
Quick Work of Officers in Rum
ming Down Criminals.

Last night about eight O'Clock
three men entered Chinese laun-
dry at Canon City, and engaged
the proprietor in conversation.
While thus engaged the Chinaman
WAS suddenly struck on the head
by some heavy instrument and
rendered unconscious. When he
regained his senses he found him
self shy" of a big new 4S-calibre
gun and about twelve dollars in
money.
Officer Vernon Simon was noti-
fed, but no trace of the robbers
could be found in Canon. Mr..
Simon at once drove to this city,
where, with the assistance of Off
Ger Mooney, he succeeded in To-
eating his game at three O'Clock
this morning. The men were
placed under arrest, and, upon
being searched, the gun and money
we're found on their persons.
Officers Mooney and Simon took
the bandits to Canon this morning,
where they were lodged in the
county Jail.

Stamp Tax on Timing Stock.

The commissioner of internal
revenue has made the following
rulings with reference to the point
made by Calvin Bullock, president
of the Denver Stock exchange:
New certificates of stock issued
to holder in lieu of numb Der of
certificates and remaining in his
name and ownership do not re-
quire stamps. Only that portion
of certificate of stock which is
sold or transferred must pay reve-
nue. tax.
'For illustration: A owns a GER
tificate of 100 shares of stock and
transfers fifty shares to b; there
are two certificates of fifty shares
each issued in lieu of the 100
share certificate; fifty shares going
to A and fifty to B. The tax i'm
posed is on the transfer to B; there
is no tax on AS transfer to him
self.

RAPID TRANSIT
IN ARKANSAS VALLEY.
II Is Possible and NOT ar all
Improbable
FROM FLORENCE TO CANON.

Canon City, Jan. 24-From re-
liable authority it is learned that
the survey for the rapid transit
passenger line between Canon City
and Florence will begin by Friday
of this week.
Thomas Robinson, ex-mayor of
Florence, and superintendent of
the United Oil Company, was here
yesterday in consultation with
Mayor Cone and members of the
city council and prominent bust
ness men. Mr.. Robinson says the
necessary capital has been raised
and that the corps of engineers is
ready for work.
The plan is to employ electric
power and to extend the line to
Soda Springs, thus giving both
Canon City and Florence street
car service to the thickly settled
orchard districts between the two
places. The length Of the line
will be about twelve miles. The
building of this line will make the
relations between Florence and
Canon City and intermediate
points more intimate and the COM
munication with Cripple Greek
will be improved.
A TRIBUNE reporter called on
ex-Mayor Robinson to ascertain
the truth of the above statement,
and found that the facts are sub
stantially as given. Mr.. Robinson
said the publication of the article
was somewhat premature, but that
a rapid transit proposition was un-
der consideration. The object is
more decided consolidation of
the Arkansas valley, and especially
of the sister cities, Canon and
Florence. The plan meets with
the hearty approval of representa-
tive men of both places, and it is
to be sincerely hoped that nothing
may occur to turn the promoters
of the road from their purpose.

MINERAL EXHIBIT
FROM COLORADO.
Proposed for the Paris Exposi-
H0n In 1900.
CRIPPLE CREEK IN THE FRONT

The part that the mining district
of Colorado will take in the Paris
exposition in 1900 has already be-
come a matter of discussion by the
mining men of this state, and it is
now realized that action must be
taken Immediately if Colorado is
to secure creditable showing at
the exposition, says the Cripple
Times of this morning,
A proposition has been made by
Count Jean de Valcourt to rent a
tract of ground of about 10000
square feet near the entrance to
the exposition, and to erect build
ing thereon for the special exhibits
of the Colorado mines. The plans
in view are to make the Colorado
exhibit the finest at the exposition.
The location proposed by Count
Valcourt is one of the finest on
the ground. The building propos-
ed is to be three story structure,
with panoramic views of Pixies
Peak and other noted scenes in
Colorado, which will be incorpor-
ated in the building; the workings
tof the great mines, showing the
shaft and ore chute, are to be as
realistic as possible, and no expense
considered to make the whole
building maze of wonder to those
unaccustomed to the mining in
dustries of the west.
The indications are that the
mine-owners of the Cripple Creek
district will at once take steps to
incorporate company and reduce
the plans proposed to a practical
basis.
Count Jean de Valcourt has
been connected with projects of a
similar nature for number of
years. He was general commits
sioner of the European nations to
the San Francisco exhibition, and
WAS also connected with the
Worlds Fair. He came to Colo
RADIO more than two months ago
and has been giving much of his
time and attention to plans for
making the Colorado exhibit the
finest in the world.
