For Benefit of Colorado.

The Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific Railroad company has
asked its competitors in the West
ern and Southwestern Passenger
associations to agree upon series
of cheap excursions to and from
Denver, Colorado Springs and
Pueblo for the approaching season
on the following basis;
Tickets to be sold from Chicago
and all territory up to the Missouri
river on June Is and %, July l6,
% aud 80, August 6, l3, 20 and 27,
at a rate of one fare plus 81 for the
round trip. On July 2 and 8, Sep
lem Der 3 and 10, a rate of S2o is to
be made from Chicago and SIS
from Missouri river points for the
round trip, intermediate territory
TO carry proportionate rates and
tickets to be sold from Missouri
river points one day later than the
dates given above Proportionate
rates will be made to and from
Glenwood Springs, Salt Lake and
Ogden
A series IF eastbound excursions
is also proposed, tickets to be sold
from Colorado common points
every Thursday commencing with
june 20 up to and including Sep
tember II, at rate of one fare
plus 81 for the round trip. All
iicke,s to be limited for return
passage to October 81
These rates will be rendered CON
meeting lines for basing purposes,
which will probably insure very
low basis of rates throughout the
Unitsd States for these excursions.
'rhr Chicago, Rock Island and

arrangements effective, regardless
of the action of its competitors
and will run special trains on the

OIL NOTES OF
FLORENCE FIELDS
Many New Companies Figuring
On Operating Here.
NO OIL AT FOUNTAIN YET

The TRIBUNE learns from an
absolutely reliable source that oil
has not been encountered in the
Stratton well which WAS being
drilled on the Little Fountain,
just north of Pueblo, but that ii
was water that was struck and
according to report, even if oil had
been struck it must have spouted
through solid rock, as drilling OPP
erations were called off last Tues
day and the report give Wednes
day as the day oil was discovered,
1t is considered by our informant
to be newspaper oil boom and q
scheme whereby the we'll might
be sold. He says if there is any
oil there whatever, it was carried
to the scene of operations and not
struck in the well which is under
the management of DR.. Grannis.
OF Colorado Springs.
The report of striking oil in
that locality was put on the asso-
ciated press wires and Thursday
the eastern papers we're teeming
with oil notes from Pueblo and
Colorado Springs and as result
the Oil Well Supply company is
receiving many kilograms asking
them to verify the report.
A carload of casing was ordered
from the above company yester-
day and will be shipped there
This will be used for casing off
the water SO that drilling opera
tions can be continued

commenced operations on its $40

The Oil Well Supply company
is receiving communications and
sending out catalogues and prices
of outfits from and to all parts of
the state to prospective purchasers
and it looks now as if Colorado
will experience an oil excitement
this year that will be equal, if not
greater, than that of the Pennsyl-
vania fields.

ceived a number of urgent letters
of inquiry regarding the Florence

"a yirglnian Romance"

At Coburn opera house, last evening,
the Rialto dramatic club of Belfast, an
amateur organization, presented the
comedy drama "a Virginian Romance"
for the benefit and under the auspices
of Oosoola division 10, U. R K. P.
AS the name implies the story is laid
in the south at the close of the civil war
and the characters are tue familiar types
of that locality. The plot deals with
the efforts of one Ira tourtleigh to force
his cousin into marriage with himself,
which of course Is foied by the hero afte
a long struggle and much mental an
guish in the good old fashioned manner
of all melo-dramas The play was not
suited to amateurs. 1t was too talky
and the action dragged. 1t is extreme
| ly difficult for any amateur organization
to make the same hit away from home
that they would make in their own town
and this fact is especially true of Show
hogan which has seen so many excellent
home talent productions in the past.
Yet taken as a whole the Belfast aggre
CATION made favorable impression.
OF the company Miss Georgia Burrows
easily carried off the honors as Imogene
Courtleigh The character was highly
| improbable, but Miss Burrows was equal
to the exacting demands of the role
and scored success alter j Cliff
ford, who had the opposite role, was a
manly hero, but was better in the light
er scenes of the play than he was in the
emotional ones g. Ii. Maxheld WAS
favorably received AS Buck Tyson, a
gypsy tinker. Miss Mae S. Maxfield
cleverly played Ginger and the same can
be said of Fred =. Spinney, as the vii
lain Ira courtleigh, and q. G. Dickey
as Major Duffy.
Between the acts several specialties
were introduced Particularly pleasing
was the graceful cake walk by Mrs
Maxfield and Mr.. Patterson, and the
two Rotations by Miss Burrows. The
audience was of fair size. Kendall &
! orchestra furnished music.
