He Loves Canon.


DIR. 7. B. Moore and wife returned
Saturday from Cripple Geek, where
the doctor had been as member of
the Grand Lodge A. o. U. ". DR..
Moore is quite familiar in the great
gold district and met many old &C.

towns Many Of thsse were natnrally

tor calls home" and each was given
short description of our beautiful
city with bit of history covering the
period of his residence here To the
Cripple Creek Times he said:
I'VE of our city hope thai the pro-
jected electric road from our town
will soon develop into reality. New
York capital has been infused with
the scheme and look for something
to materially develop very soon.
Canon City was never in better shape
than now. We are now expecting a
building boom; yes. | might call it a
boom. for never before was there such
a lot of building going on as there is
right now. You folks here live in a
great mining camp, but let me tell
you, believe that We are surrounded
b, a mineral country that will yet
attract the attention of the world.
Dawson is only an experiment, but
there is no question but that our
country abounds in mineral mineral
that will pay to mine, and thorough
ly believe that we have the prospects
of good camp in Dawson. The zinc
lead smelter is running to full capacity
and never before was there such ac-
tivity rs now exists in our quiet little
town of Canon
DR.. Moore has been a resident of
Colorado many years and is very con-
servative in his opinions of localities.
Therefore, when he expresses his
views on existing conditions and gives
his beliefs in support Of his state
ments. those who know him have
learned to take him at his word, for
he has thoroughly posted himself on
the subject and knows whereof he
speaks. Hence, when he told his
Grand Lodge associates that he con-
sidered Canon City one of the best
cities in the world to make home in,
he based his opinion on his own ex-
periences.
1t is a fact, not generally known,
but nevertheless q fact that DR..
Moore gave up an extensive practice
in Douglas county and came to Canon
on uncertainties. That his efforts
here have been fruitful is apparent
to all. That he loves Canon is still
more apparent and he never omits an
opportunity to say good things about
the Mace.

OF friends from all parts of the State.
From Pennsylvanis Mr.. White removed

LIFE ON NEW LINES.

LIFE ON NEW LINES.
As soon as she could be quietly and
decently laid away, Mrs Hamilton was
carried out of the pretty villa in which
she had enjoyed her brief spell Of pros
perity, and then Mary made her prepa-
rations for turning her back upon her
old life forever.
She was not obliged to leave the
house with undue haste, for Howard
Conway wrote to her as soon as he heard
the news Of his inheritance, telling her
that the house was quite at her disposal
for few weeks, until indeed she had
time to make her arrangements. Mary,
however, replied that if Mr.. Conway
would send some one to take possession
at II o'clock on the following Monday
morning she would be ready, and that
she would prefer to give up possession,
as she would be leaving the house then.
Greatly to her relief, Howard Con-
way did not think it necessary to APP
pear himself, but sent young solicitor,
who treated the outgoing widow with a
curious mixture of coincidence and ad-
miration such as would have made a
woman who knew the world better ex-
csedingly angry. Upon Mary, however,
this manner had no effect. She had just
passed through the great tragedy Of he,
life, she was face to face with great
question, ''how to live in the future, y
or which was in any sense beyond, her
powers.
