1T is COOL IN COLORADO.
Heavy Travel to Rocky Mountains
Predicted for This Summer.

Over 70, 600 tourists visited Colorado
last summer. In the opinion of Gen
eral Passenger Agent Francis of the
Burlington route, this number will
show great increase for the sum
mer of 1902. Good times and the ex.
tremely low rates announced by the
railroads are expected to give the
Rocky Mountain resorts an unpre
cedented number of tourists who de.
sire to miss the summers heat of the
cities and the plains. 1t is also ex-
pected that trips through Yellowstone
National Park and through the Black
Hills of South Dakota will prove more
popular this year than ever before,

Gus inquiries about low rates TO these

Major Norton of Wheeling, West
Virginia and p. f. Gable of Pittsburg,
constituting the firm of Norton 4
Gable, with offices at Pittsburg and
Wheeling are in the city today on
business with the Flore nee Elmo Min
ing company. The gentlemen re-
turned from tour of inspection of
the company's properties last night
with the result that they this morning
closed u deal whereby they advance
about sI5, 900 for the development of
the property.
John Erickson, formerly of this
city but now of Pueblo, will be put
in charge of the property and full
force of men will be put on the first
of next month. Mr. Erickson is
widely known as one of the most re-
liable mining experts in this section
and the company undoubtedly made "A
wise choice in his selection.
James Montgomery, one of the di-
rectors of the company is now III
Wheeling awaiting the return of
Messrs Gordon and Gable, and it was
through his efforts that those gentle
men were induced to make the trip to
Colorado to investigate this property.
The Florence Elmo company which
is composed of Florence men, owns
some very promising mining claims
in the Cottonwood district only about
four miles from the famous Mary
Murphy. The returns from eight
samples were received this morning,
the average value of which is $50
Nnw that the company is financially
able to develop the property there is
every reason to believe that they will
find good mine.

Official Paper Of the City.

In many places in the city, i'll the
streets and on vacant lots, rank
growth of weeds is springing up. Not
only are the weeds unsightly, but they
jeapordize the city's health FoI
both reasons the weeds should be kept
down. In one instance the owner OF
the property has a duty to perform,
and in the other the street supervisor
must act. No part of Florence should
be over grown with weeds that offend

also the fact that he was man of

plodding ahead of him small boy of

the boy, in his perturbed state, did
not realize until he had taken his
nlace in his class that he had left his
coat in the carriage.

teacher, addressing the newcomer, IN

from which he can never return.

an enthusiasm and spirit never seen

Old Salt took a large drove of cat

at excellent prices. He crammed the
large sum of money realized into his

his friends started for home, on
