visiting home folks for the last few
week, left last Tuesday afternoon for
Durango to continue his connection
with the Empire Gold Mines Company
on Small Hopes Mountain. OF which he
is one of the promoters and principal
stockholders. Mr.. Van Buskirk is con-
fident that the company has a good
proposition on Small Hopes Mountain,
which is about sixteen miles in an air
line west OF Durango, and that the de-
velopment OF its property will bring
rich returns. Four assays Of ore, taken
from different levels in the mine. have
recently been m ade /; the first showing q
ounces Of gold, the second IS ounces,
the third 8.l0 ounces and the fourth
S2.S1 ounces to the ton. The latter is
at rate OF 81 800 to the ton, and, 1t is
hardly necessary to state that it is very
rich. More than ss5 900 worth OF gold
has already been taken out Of the ore
chute, and, according to Mr.. Van
Buskirk, many times that amount is
there awaiting the miners pick. The
company. which has just received II
lot Of mining machinery from Denver,
is about to begin cross cut tunel at

The New Industry.


A year ago this month the Canon
City Gas Company broke ground for
its new plant at 18th and River st.
Seven months later saw its completion.
Then the company began to show evil
dence of its construction work by the
number Of houses and stores that had
that now familiar sign, Gas being in
stalled in this house,, placed at its
front door for brief time. while the
company employees dug the trench and
laid the service pipe into the cellar.
When the employees left all remained
as it was before, many people feared
the crossing of the lawn but among the
hundred services installed not lawn
showed evidence of the pipes that we're
laid beneath.
To many of our citizens, gas was
something new, those who have become
initiated now openly state that they
feel good deal like the women, who
when asked, if she had to give up her
gas range or her husband, remarked,
'well you know cound mt keep house
without my gas range. When you
figure that it means no ashes, no dirt,
no dust, no kindling, no black SCOT,
nothing disagreeable but on the con-
trary, the cheapest fuel, the cleanest
fuel, the quickest fuel, and all for the
small sum Of the cost of gas range
and gas bill which ought not to
average over two dollars a month. You
can't blame the lady for having her
preference.
Canon City has never been behind
the time, while we all know it is con-
seryative, it is always willing and ready
to take up legitimate advancement
and as usual, it has now begun to
Cook With Cas-.
Manager Taylor tells us that he has
orders enough ahead to keep all his
men busy for some time but that he
advises every body who is contemplate
ing the use of gas to order at once for
they will have to wait when they want
it if they hold of until spring
When Denver, Colorado Springs,
Pueblo and Trinidad have demonstrat-
ed so thoroughly that gas is the most
desirable fuel. it is surprising that
Canon did not demand it long before
this time, but perhaps it was well to
allow our sister cities to thoroughly
test and prove satisfactory this new
Innovation now we can follow with a
certainty OF being correct. With our
SURPRISING climate there is no reason
why the coal range should rot be
relegated to the wood-shed. for gas can
be substituted at less cost and far
greater comfort for all year round use
The gas company furnish an attach
ment that connects with the boiler and
supplies hot water the same ss the
present coal range water back.
We certainly aught to appreciate the
coming OF the gas company. now with
the addition of an electric street line
we will have all the modern con-
veniences of a large city.

The last tidings received OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Albert Shank Ross, who is
Presbyt terian missionary in the interior
OF Korea, was under date OF January
28th, twelve days before the japanese
naval attack on Port Arthur. Mrs
Ross, who is stationed at small town
near the mouth of the Yalu river, n
considerable distance from Seoul, did
not say anything about the impending
war between the forces OF the czar and
miSado, in fact, it is doubtful whether
she had heard any rumors OF the proba-
BILE rupture between the two empires,
as she is to large extent cut on from
communication with the outside world.
As Mrs. Ross field OF labor is located
almost directly in the heart OF the
zone OF hostilities some alarm has been
expressed for her safety by relatives
here, but as the United States govern
ment recently dispatched the cruiser
Cincinnati from Chee Foo, China, to
take American missionaries out OF
Korea, it is more than likely that she
WILSON be heard from, safe and sound
at one of the Chinese treaty ports.

Mr.. Carr was passing on a street car when
he saw flames issuing from the studio. He
ran into the building and succeeded in
carrying fifteen prize pictures to places of
safety.
The fire, which originated from an I'M
known cause, was making great hcadway
when Policeman Donahue sent in an alarm.
The fremen soon had the blaze under con

to $1,000. A large number of canvasses

is an instructor in the school, were burned

about 9 p. m, when Il suggestion to look
into the water-tank was tardily adopted.
At the top, however, a workman look

water, saw the body of Mr.. Cosgrove
standing with both arms upright, one
holding a perpendicular escape-pipe.
1t was taken out and search made for
evidences of foul play, but none found.
The tank contains about . feet of
water and stands upon platform about
10 feet above the engine room floor. 1t
is reached by climbing a ladder, and is
