Likes Canon.

M. E. Hopkins, manager of the
Cripple Creek District Machine Works
came down from that camp last Fri
day, to cure up bad pneumonia cold,
and also to visit with his wife and
daughters, who are visiting here. Mr..
Hopkins likes Canon very much, and
says he believes Canon will double
her population in two years. why
he said, IF you have bad cold up
there and meet friend on the street,
he will be sure to tell you to 90 down
to Canon for . week or two. Cripple
Creek people think there il no place
like Canon City to get rid of : cold
or recover from an attack Of pneu-
monia."
Mr.. Hopkins said he had met a
number of his home people since com
ing down and they were al pleased
with the, city, its people and the
climate.

Enlarsing The Works.

The enlargement of the Canon City
smeltsr is progressing rapidly and it
is expected that the new plant will be
completed and in operation in about
so days. The capacity Of the present
plant, used mainly for the reduction of
zinciferous orss,i to be about doubled
and in addition there will be six blast
furnaces erected, each having a
daily capasity of about SO tons of
ore. This supplementary plant is to
be used for the reduction of custom
ores and the product of the Sedalis
copper mine near Salida.
While the smelter is owned by q
separate company, the stockholders
are the same - those Of the Ssdalia
Copper company. The Sedalia mine
il in frst-class condition and is de-
veloping large bodies of ore. As sosn
rs the smelter is ready for operation
the output of the mine will be inereas-
ed to 100 tons day, and still further
if subsequent development justifes.
The opening Of new copper fields along
the line of the Rio Grands road, and
within easy reach of the Canon City
smelter, is encouraging to the smelter
company and the indications now are
that there will be in relatively short
time a number of now producers
developed in that vicinity which will
supply the furnaces with all the ore
necessary to keep them in constant
operation. The copper district trib.
utary to Canon City il . large one
and is being rapidly developed. Den

TWINS CUT APART
Remarkable Operation Performed on
 Two Sisters

From the New York Herald.
 Remarkable operations have been per formed on Rosalna and Maria, two sisters who were born joined together. The sisters are doing well. Their case reminds one of that of the famous Siamese twins, but modern surgery will give them separate life.
 Rosalina and Maria, the two little Brazil ian children who but for the interposition of modern science would have had to live joined to each other as they were, are about 10 years old.
 Their parents, concerned as to their fu- ture, last winter determined to seek the aid of surgeons, and to that end took the twins to the hospital Miscoacordia in Ria Janeiro, where they were put in the care of Dr. Alyara Romos
 The two were joined in a manner similar to the Siamese twins only still more closely Use of the X-ray developed the fact that the seventh rib was united by solid os- seus formation, and that there was but one liver for the two. It was not difficult to sever the flesh and bone but when it came to dividing the liver, Dr. Romos hesitated. Nevertheless, there have been cases where part of a diseased liver has been removal so the physician was encouraged to make the attempt
 The first part of the operation was com rleted early in the winter, when the ribs were cut apart. The shock was so great to the patients that it was doomed necessary to wait for time before completing the separation.
 Cases like this are rare The most famous is that of the Siamese twins, Chang and Eng, born in Siam in 1S11, who were united at the anterior part of the chest by a fleshy lgament All attempts to separate them wihout endangering their lives proved fu- tile.
 ftaro they married two siters and settled down on a plantation near Salisbury. N. c. They died on January 20, 1874. Paralysis was the cause of Changs death, and the other falling into a stupor immediately, died within two hours.
 Millie and Christine, known as the "double-headed nightingale" were another example. Born in Columbia. s. C.. in 1S51 they were exhibited for several years in this country and in Europe.
 The Toni twins, of Italian birth who were exhibited here, had only two legs.
 There was a sensation in New York medi- cal circles in the spring of 1895, when Mrs J. Koehler of 342 East Forty-second street gave birth to girl twins, who were joined diagonallY from the lower part of the spinal column to the upper part of the pelons. A peculiar feature of this case was that though joined at the back. the liga- ments were so elastic as to allow the twins to face each other.
 Mrs Henry Jones, of near Kokomo, Ind, gave birth to twins connected at the hips and lower abdomen, in June, 1887. No vital parts were connected except the spinal col umn, which was continuous from one end to the other.
 Radiea and Doddica, natives of Orissy, India who were exhibited several years ago were two little girls who are attached from breast to breast by a flexible, bony connection below which there is visceral attachment. Food and medicine given to one affects both. ,. ...-..-..... ...

 Of her eye! 1f What will you bet now she will marry me for the asking?"
 ''I don't bet" said Ralph, while he and Michael exchanged looks.
 You had better stop talking that stuff, or I'll settle you so that you can't talk at all for awhile" said Michael. "Oh, by love, how high and mighty you are! | guess she has twinkled hergey at you, but she will kiss me for the asking, you bct!"
 The two young men had now .reached the door, which Ralph opened cautiously to allow them to go quietly out As they passed into the darkness a ray of light from the closing door fell upon the face of the drummer, horrible look had come over it, it had been seized with a sudden pallor and the features worked convul- sively his eyes rolled in his head and foam came from his lips. Ralph saw all this. He saw, too that Michael's strong hand gripped the back of the drummer's s neck as the two men staggered together down the door steps, the drummer as limp as a rag, and Michael like lion upon his prey.
 Ralph shut the door quickly If there was murder done that night, he did not want to see it or know it. He stopped his ears after he had heard a scuffie. some muttered words, and 8 solid thud, such as
