Below is few statements made at

Elliott general passenger and ticket
agent of the Florence & Cripple Creek
road. The Victor Press says he talk
ed freely concerning the plans of his
company. Mr.. Ellioit's remarks con-
firm much that has been stated in
these columns. Coming from such
high authority, it will make interest
ing reading for REcoRD readers.
'What about our changing our
southern terminal from Florence to
Canon City? Well, we have let the
contract for grading the line from
just below Russell station into Canon
City to Carlisle, Weitbrec & Dittmer.

and offer them a premium for crowd
ing the work, and they will surely
crowd it"
The distance from the point on the
F. & C. C. whence the line will be
diverted to Canon City into the latter
city is about seven and three-fourth
miles, and will be . much better
grade than that at present between
that city and Florence, and, while the
change of the line will make the dis
tancs little greater to Denver over
that line, the time between this place
and the capital will not Be- increased.

One of the most enjoyable straw
rides and picnics of the season was
indulged in Thursday evening by
seventeen couples of Canon City's jol-
liest young people. The gentlemen
of the party were arrayed in down
East" granger costume, which gave
some of them a very grotesque ap-
pearance. At the end of a long ride
about the city and through the sub
urbs halt was made at Sells Island,
where etiquette was laid aside and
the absurd antics of the pseudo farm
ers furnished fun for the whole party.
Watermelons, la half shell, were
served, carrying out the idea of a
granger party"

the people of Coal Creek and Rock

ance Of his l1-year-old girl. The lit
tie miss left home about II o'clock
Saturday morning. ostensibly to 60 to
tho postofice. Since that time her
parents have not seen her, nor have
they any knowledge Of her whereabouts.
There Is sufficient mystery connected
with the case to justify an investiga-
tion. Children Of that age do not
voluntarily absent themselves from
home without good cause. II the
child has fallen into bad hands or been
foully dealt with, the facts should be
made public and the guilty brought

When the child left home she wore

NEW cOPPER-GOLD CAMP.
Camp Nschs, Five Misss Nostheast

tios sf Prospectors.

tios u Pruspectors.
Howard, in the extreme western
end Of this county, appears to be
coming in for portion Of the mining
excitement in the state just at pres
ent. A communication from q cor
respondent in tho new camp gives
the following particulars OF the dis
trict:
Five miles northeast Of Howard, at
what is called Camp Neche, new
copper and gold camp has started
and prospectors are gathering from
all points.
From the Pickens and Bowers
claims some fine ore is being saved.
A party Of Germans ON the adjoin-
ing claims are driving = tunnel on a
strong vein, and while it appears to
be true copper lead, yet assays
have been taken which run as high
as $56 in gold. The copper values
are about IL per cent. The ore is
full Of fourine stain, and in the
breast Of the tunnel, which is now 10
feet in length. is looking better with
every shot.
At what is known as the Cooper
group of claims very rich strike in
copper has been made. Out Of 35-
foot shaft on the Uncle Billy claim of
this group several tons Of ore have
been saved which averages AZ per
cent. copper, with small gold and sill
yer values. This ore il rich in cop
per glance and picked samples assay
better than 20 per cent. The ore is
taken from 3-foot vein lying be-
tween granite and schist walls. On
the south end of the claim . cross
vein has been opened which also car
ries high grade copper ore. but n
very little work has been done, it is
impossible to make any definite state
ment regarding it Cripple Greek
parties have recently secured q three
year bond and lease on the property.
South and vest of the Cooper
group Miller & Co. have located sew
eral claims and have some very fine
ore in sight. Their independence
claim i making rsmarkable show
ing. amount of dsvslopaent ccnsid-
cred. Already considerable ore is on
the dump ready Of shipment. Mr..
Miller Is an experienced Cripple
Creek miner and the writer believes
he viii meet with success.
While it is true that this ID new
camp, indications are such that it is
believed by those on the ground that
in a very short time Howard will be
able to boast the richest copper mine
in the state. The form1tiou is iden-
tical with that in the noted Sedalia
mine at Salida and apparently is on
the same mineral belt.
Those inclined to doubt the truth

visit the new camp when it is be-
lieved that they will Be quickly con-
vinced that this Is no townsits fake,

The Canon City boys who enlisted
in the First Colorado and have been
in service in the Philippines, will
reach home about the 9Th Of Septem-
ber. Mr. ]. J. Burns, superintendent
Of the D. 4 R. G.. returned last week
from . trip to San Francisco, where
he had personal interviews with the
boys. In private letter to Agent
Nafe, Mr.. Burns states that he found
the young men in the best Of spirits
and health and full Of hope in antici-
patton of their speedy return home.
Thirteen enlisted from here, but ac-
cording to Mr.. Burns list only nine
are returning. They are, Ben Stotts.

tion of engaging in business. This
leaves three unaccounted for--An-
oerson, Beemer and Hansen.
Geo. Fowler went from Cripple and
another Canon boy, Geo. Grsvestock.
enlisted at Lsadyille. All Of them
showed true American pluck and
spirit, and Fowler was twice ad-
vanced in rank. His first appoint
ment was quartermaster in the COM
missary department, and Recently h-
has been made . lieutenant. Enough
pride should be felt in these brave
young fellows by the people of Can
on City to guarantee them rousing
welcome home. They should be met
at the depot by large delegation Of
citizens and escorted to the opera
house, where everyone could have an
opportunity of extending congratu-
lations.
A very pretty reception could be
provided at q very small cost, and
the RECORD suggests that . plan be
promulgated and carried out. Cahon

turn Il connected with the pump
ing station at the penitentiary. Work
was then begun on 400 feet of blind
ditch paralleling the river, and several
feet below the bed Of the stream.
This was also carefully walled with
stone and cement on each side, leay-
ing space Of about l8 inches between
the wall. through which the water
is conducted to the well. By this
method natural filter i formed, the
water coming in from the bottom af-
ter having passed through the gravel
ly bed Of the river and several feet of
other good filtering material. This
process not only removes all impuri-
ties, vegetables and animal substan-
ces. from the water, but also clarifies
it, and as it enters the supply ditch
in the form of hundreds of miniature
springs reaches the well transparent
as glass. The same action which
purifes the water also cools it.
Hence the penitentiary is now sup
piled with a bright, sparkling, health
full beverage. ready for use without
having to pass through an artificial
filter or cooler.
Heretofore the water was taken
direct from the river, mud. bugs and
chips passing at par. 1t was indeed
a filthy mess at times, and one can
but wonder how the general health
of the convicts, who were forced to
use it, was maintained at the high
standard the records shss== shss== Ts make
It anywhere near fit for use boilers. con-
densers and filters were introduced,
but even after this treatment the
water was little better than slop TO
drink, although it answered very well
for cooking purposes. After reach
ing the pump station the water is
raised to big reservoir on the hog
back at the rear Of the penitentiary
from which the various buildings are
supplied by gravity.
As many as eighty men were en-
ployed on the supply ditch at one
time, hut were successfully handled
by o. L. Davis, chief engineer at the
pen.
II the change in the system had
been made BY contractor employing
union labor this piece of the work
alone would have cost the State
$4,000.
A. L. Fellows. photographer Of the
United States geological depart
ment. gives the institution credit for
having the best system of water
works in the State.
Warden Hoyt is now turning his
attention to the COW barn and pig
pens of the institution. II is his in
tention to tear out the old tumble
down frame buildings which disgrace
the walled city and replace them with
substantial stone structures. A herd
Of dozen fine cows are kept at the
penitentiary, and at present 1855
swine are in the pens, ranging in size
from tiniest little porkers to hogs
ready for the slaughter. To accom-
modate these, the warden proposes
to erect = wall 6 feet high and Is
inches wide to form an enclosure
24x3l feet. Dividing this length
wise through the center will be two
walls with comfortable alleyway
between, with gateways at convenient
points. to enable the changing of
part of the swine herd from one d.
vision to another without interfering
with the others. Brood pens, run
ways and shelter pens will be ar
ranged with the same idea of con-
venience and order, and will be de-
cided luxury for the pigs.
