ELECT OFFICERS.
The Copper King Free Gold Min
ing Company Holds an I'M
portant Meeting.

At an adjourned regular meeting Of
the Copper King Free Gold Mining
Company held at the Office of Messrs
Waldo & Dawson last Monday night
officers were elected for the ensuing
year and lot OF other business trans
acted that is likely to have an i'm
portant bearing upon the future of the
property.
The new officers Of the company are
president, DIR. =. NJ. Cooper, of Mani
tou. Colorado; vice president, DR.. A.
Reed, of St. Joe. Missouri; secretary,
II. NJ. Mingay, Canon City; treasurer,
William Landman OF Canon City. The

part of them by proxy, although large
number of stockholders were present,
several OF whom are out of town people.
There are nearly three hundred share
holders in the company and they repre-
sent half score of states by their
places of residence.
verbal report was made by the
president in the course of which it was
shown that the development work on
the property during the last year had
been done by individual stCckh olders
and not by the company as Il corpora
ton, consequently the money in the
treasury had not been drawn upon for
its exploitation. The members of the
directorate visited the company's mine
at Dawson last Tuesday and made an
inspection Of the property, which is re-
ported to have been highly satisfactory.
The board of directors have taken
over the management of the property
andihave employed f. s. Yankee to
take charge OF its development as
temporary superintendent, and it is
expected that an increased number of
men will soon be put to work under his
supervision for the purpose Of running
the Cowgirl tunnel to the northward
OF the main shaft with view of strik-
ing the principal ore body.
The stockholders voted to confide the
prosecution of the development work
to the secretary and treasurer, both of
whom are residents of Canon City and
can give their personal attention to
its operation. Recent assays show that
the Copper King contains good ore and

Street Fair Coming.

The members of the Canon City Band
are discussing the matter OF holding a
street fair here from the 18th to 18th
Of June. in fact, they have proceeded
so far with the arrangements as To in
sure its contamination, provided, the
city council gives it's sanction to the
scheme, rs there appears to be every
probability of its doing.
The promoters OF the enterprise have
been in correspondence with the
Brainerd- Patterson Carnival Company,
now playing at the Coliseum in Kansas
City, and it is likely they will be en-
gagged to take charge of the affair. The

not completely formulated yet, there
will be three free attractions and ten
paid ones the former to consist OF \
bailon ascension. a high dive and an
athelitic contest. The price OF admis-
sion to the paid attractions will be ten
cents each.
The band boys have petitioned the
city council for the use OF Main street
from Third tn Seventh and a portion Of
Fifth street. but they will be utilized
in such q way as not To obstroct ordi-
nary traffic through them. The petit
tion was referred to a special commit
tee last Monday night and its members
empowered to act upon it in such q
way as seemed most advisable.
The members of the band have re-
ceived much encouragement from the
business men of the city in relation to
the matter and It {. probable that the
proposed street fair will be carried out
on the lines indicated.
