Another Carrier Needed.

The carriers department of the To-
cal postoffice is up against hard
proposition. During the past year
the carriers have been working under
what is known as the 4S hours week
law. That is, a carrier could work
any day as long as necessary, but
whenever carrier had worked As
hours in week he must quit, without
regard to where he was or how much
work remained undone.
Two of our carriers, Smith and
Maddox, have been in the habit of
finishing their 48 hours about Satur-
day morning or noon. But few
months ago Postmaster Hardy sue
Gee ded in getting special appropri-
alton allowing the substitute carriers
to complete the unfinished work of
the carriers, so the public has not
known much about the difficulties.
But with July 1st the 4S hours a
week law goes out and what is known
as the 8 hours day law comes in.
This means that no carrier can work
over 8 hours any one day, and that
when he has been out eight hours he
must return to the postoffice taking
with him all undelivered mail. This
will effect two of our routes quite
seriously, as Messrs. Smith and Mad
dock have great deal more than
they can do in a day of 8 hours.
For the present at least these car
riers will make full delivery in the
mornings, covering the entire terri
tory. This will take from 4 houl s
and thirty minutes to 5 hours and 80
minutes, which leaves them as will be
easily seen only about p or 81 hours
for afternoon delivery. So they will
necessarily have to leave out a great
many people in the afternoon delivery.
All such mail returned will be de-
livered next morning.
The postmaster finds the above ar
rangement the only one that can be
made at present, except to cut down
the routes, which of course would
displease all those affected.
The trouble with this business is
that Canon City has grown too rapid
ly. The carriers routes were estab-
lished in September, 1899. All the
carriers then were given all they
could do. Since that time on just
the two routes covered by Messrs.
Smith and Maddox by actual count

Dawson Camp.

The prevailing hot weather makes
little difference with that beehive of
industry-Dawson Camp. Great &C.
tivity prevails at all the mines.
The shaft on the Copper King
mine has now reached depth of
$50 feet, the entire body of the shaft
being so well minerslized that the ore
is being saved for treatment at the
concentration that is soon to be erected
near the mine. In the 200-foot level
ore is being stopped out and consid-
able quantity is being shipped to the
smelter. The values have shown a
tendency to increase and the ore
stopped out is shipped without sorting.
Mr.. H. 0. Whitney, the protector
of the proposed concentrator, ar
rived here few days ago and is al
ready on the ground doing all that
his physical condition will allow him
to do. Just before leaving the East
Mr.. Whitney was taken suddenly i'll
with pneumonia, but as soon as he
was able to sit up left at once for
Colorado. Details will be pushed for
ward so as to begin work on the new
buildings with the least possible de-
lay. The concentration will have
capacity of 30 tons daily to start with.
The Sunfower company, owners of
the lease on'the Mike Sutton claim
on Copper King grounds pushing
work, having sunk the shaft to a
depth of about 30 feet, all well tim
bered. During the sinking of the shaft
good ore has been obtained and the
outlook is considered excellent by the
practical miners who are operating
the claim.
The Copper Boy people have shaft
down about So feet from the bottom
OF winch crosscut has been started
so as to cut the old vein A good
body of water has been tapped, and
on Saturday night last rich body of
ore was tapped. Whether this is the
main vein has not yet been deter
mined.
The general merchandise store and
also the boarding house is doing a
good business. The miners who have
operated that district for several
years feel that the prospects for
good, big camp are better now than
ever before. There is no element of
boom or fictitious values; everything
is based on work done and ore bodies
exposed.

OF Interest to A. o. U. W. 1embers

DR.. 7. B. Moore of this city, who
has been in Buffalo, n. Y, during the
past three weeks as representative
for Colorado in the Supreme Lodge
A. o. U. W., has just returned. He
reports the sessions of that body as
of more than ordinary interest.
Among the important business trans
acted was that of approving the new
constitution and bylaws adopted by
the Colorado Grand Lodge in every
essential particular. A new law was
passed which makes ineligible for ap-
plication for membership any person
who is unable to pass regular life
insurance examination. This action
was deemed necessary for the good
of the order.
The gathering was large and en-
thusiastic one, and every report made
produced evidence that the prospects
for the future of the order we're never
brighter than the present time. The
next session of the Supreme Lodge
will be held at Portland, Oregon, the
second Tuesday in June, 1902.
