The ice seems to have been broken
at last and ore reduction works are
seeking opportunity to locate here,
believing that Canon City and imme-
date vicinity presents the needed
advantages. All efforts heretofore
made to secure one or more of these
immense enterprises have met with
failure. Now, however, through the
influence and perseverance of Mr..
George r. Shaeffer and son, Charles
d., assisted by few others, we are
now to have one of the largest and
best Zinc-Lead Works in the United
States If not in the world. The gen
tle~en Interested in the project have
unlimited capital and experience. The
works will be located on the Hays
coal property recently purchased, and
will give employment to a large mum.
Der of men. Work will begin at once
and pushed vigorously. Great credit
is due to the Messrs. Shaeffer for the
skillful manner in which they have
engineered the project. The RECORD
hopes to be able in later issue TO
give the matter proper write up.

rooming house for the students. The
fire started from a defective Hue, SO
far as the cause can be located. The
building was repaired after the first
fire, but it is now practically destroy

down II new building is to be erec-
ted in it's stead. There was no insur
ance on the property, which falls as a
total loss upon the Sisters and the
girls who had much of their clothing
destroyed.
The fire department responded TO
the call as promptly as was possible.

THE FLAMES WERE CHECKED
In Time by the Active Efforts Of the
Firemen.-Serious Loss
Was Averted.

On Saturday evening shortly after
six o'clock our people we're startled
by the ringing of the FIRE alarm. No
lurid glare could direct the people to
the scene. but the fire laddies in al
most twinkling had two strings of
hose laid. one from the court house
corner, the other Main and Fourth.
running into the alley into the rear
of Avery's large furniture warehouse
where a big volume Of dense smoke
was rolling out making 1t almost i'm
possible for the firemen to enter even
the alley. Nothing daupted, how
ever. they fought their way into the
scene Of the fire. and two powerful
streams scattered furniture and FIRE
Ia every direction. The flames were
speedily extinguished. but il took
some time to fully subdue the fire.
The firemen deserve great praise
for their timely and efficient services
i'd preventing what would have proved
a disastrous conflagration had there
been any delay on their part in get
ting TO work.
The loss - Mr.. Avery will hardly
fall short OF $1,000 against which
thcrc is an insurance Of $1,000.
The building was injured consider

is fully covered by insurance.

PR S ERITY
Seest thou a man diligent in his busine
He shall stand before Kings.-Proverbi

Seest thou man diligent In his business.
You hear and read very
much lately about Prosperity,
Prosperous Times and Coun-
tries, etc. Suppose you get a
rabbits foot fastened to your
vest chain and stand on street
corners and talk prosperity
and politics, etc, then figure
up your income.
Here is a good one: A rag
man in the country purchasing
a pair of discarded trousers at
farm house remarked to the
man as he paid for them, Il
see, sir, that you are about to
lose your land on mortgage"
81 guess you are right" said
the discouraged looking farm
er, but how the Sam Hill did
you find that out?" Easy
enough said thei ragman; Il
noticed that these old pants
are completely played out SO
far as the part of 'em you sat
down on is concerned. The
quality of the pants may have
been all right, but the quality
of the man was certainly
wrong" And so ii goes.
Prosperity depends upon the
man as well as the country he
is in.
Quality speaks loudest; quail
ity first, quality last, quality
all the time. Quoting low
prices regardless of quality
does not make business sue
cessful.
In my business quality is the
all important question, and to
produce that quality you have
got to have energy, tact and
be diligent in business, besides
using the very best of mate
rial. Sugar is our base. Sug-
ar now days IS made OF varl-
Gus articles, such as sawdust,
beets, corn, charcoal, etc, but
the quality speaking of candy
making) that | use has got to
be pure cane sugar. There is
not a pound OF Muscovado Su-
gar in this state, the kind white
cane sugar is made of;neither
is there a bag or barrel in Chi
cago. but as soon as can get
it from New York | will exhib-
it in my store window the real
article, "Muscovado Sugar"
and make some candy out of
it. Samples free. Fresh
every hour.

To Our Patrons and Readers.

The RECORDS management desires
to return thanks to its friends and
patrons for kind treatment accorded
during the pending campaign. Job
printing OF all kinds, and even much
news of local character, has been
held off and overlooked in the desire
to render efficient aid to the cause Of
Republicanism. With this issue the
conditions will change and the RECORD
will give its thought and space to
matters of local nature. As hare-
tofore we shall be glad at all and any
time to have our friends advise US of
any matters of public Importance
that may come to their knowledge.
