Don't
Hurry
Ranchmen Advised to
Hold Their Apples.
Prices Of Winter Apples Likely
to Improve Later In the Season.

Canon City fruit growers are inclined
TO take rather respondent view of the
apple market. and some are selling
their crop under the impression that
prices are not likely to get any better
as the season advances. 1t is, of
course. . difficult matter to forecast
with any degree of certainty the state
OF the market for any article or COM
modify under normal conditions, but
contingencies sometimes arise which
renders prophesy quite an easy thing,
and such seems to be the case at the
present time in relation to the demand
for winter apples during the next few
months.
One of the factors that will be in
huential in advancing the price of the
Colorado crop is the inability of Mis-
souri,. Illinois and other Mississippi
valley states to deprive us Of the Texas
demand by reason of the shortage Of
their supply. Texas and the southwest
is our natural market. and. il we can
hold it against eastern competition, we
may be sure of a fair price for our
fruit.
New York state, which produces the
bulk of the apples exported from the
United States. experienced heavy wind
storms throughout its fruit belt last
week and it is estimated that from 25
to 40 per cent of the apples were blown
from the trees, which, of course, di-
minished the supply for export to that
extent Illinois, Missouri and Ar
kansas have a small crop of apples and
cannot make good the loss sustained
by New York, nor can they seriously
threaten Colorado in the Texas mar
kets.
Capt Rockafellow thinks Canon City
orchardists will obtain good prices for
their apples il they hold on to them
for few months so does Jas Turn
bull and others who have given the
situation a careful study In view Of
the conditions in other states it seems
wise for local growers TO canvass the
probabilities before disposing of their
apples at the present prices.

A judicial opinion Of more than ordi-

GOLD STRIKE
NEAR DAWSON.
A Vein Of Forty Dollar Ore Un-
covered by w. J. Sims A Few
Days Ago.

While engaged in development work
on a mining claim on the eastern slope
OF the Greenhorn mountains, about a
quarter Of mile from the plant of the
Copper King Company at Dawson, a
three inch vein of free milling gold ore
was uncovered one day lAst week by
W. J. Sims, who is sanguine that his
discovery will lead TO important re-
suits. Mr.. Sims has been working on
the property for some time and was
convinced before the recent strike was
made that its exploitation would fully
compensate him for any efforts he
might make in that direction, as there
were traces OF the yellow metal" in
the out-cropping rock. In sinking a
prospect hole he tapped three foot
body Of ore at depth of eight feet
which asssyed abou- six dollars TO the
ton. The mineralization was more
pronounced as he proceeded with the
work and at distance of twelve or
fourteen feet from the surface he pene-
trAted a three inch vein which showed
two ounces OF gold to the ton.
The matter OF Mr. Sims discovery
has been kept very quiet, and probably
not over half a dozen men in town
knew of his find until u day or two ago.
The claim ir owned jointly by Mr.
Sims and a number of Chicago gentle
men. and. II the vein proves rs rich As
it is supposed to be. steps viii be taken
to sink shaft in the hope of Penetrat-
ing a larger body Of ore at n lower level
There are many people who think
the Dawson district will in course OF
time become mining center OF con-
siderable Importance and Mr.. SIMS dis
covery gives plAusibility TO the belief

DECISION AGAINST
FREMONT COUNTY.

Fremont Mulct to Pay the Costs
In the Chaffee County Line
Contest. -trs-
The case of the county commissioners
of Chaffee county to recover the costs
of running = new line along its south
eastern boundary by the state engineer
some two years ago was last Saturday
decided against Fremont county by
the district court at BeupA Vista.
The suit was the outgrowth of con-
troversy between the two counties and
had been pending since the discovery
OF mineral at whitehorn. eight years
ngo.
The boom given to that section by the
mining excitement resulted in the
establishment OF town site at or near
the county line. The commissioners
Of this county, thinking the boom
might be permanent and that White
horn might become camp of consider
able Importance raised the question of
the county line. This led to dispute
with the result that Fremont county
ordered re-survey.
The state engineer was called upon,

New
Buildings
Improved Conditions
Are Very Gratifying
More New Residences Going up
In Canon City This Fall Than
Usual.


Usual.
Building contractors report greater
activity in their line Of business at
present than for long time, and the
indications are that more new resi-
dences viii be erected in Canon City
this fall than during any similar period
for several years Most Of the houses
being built are Of the cottage order,
Containing from five to eight rooms,
and are thoroughly modern in their
appointments and in their appearance.
Among the more pretentious of
these prospective homes are the resi-
dences OF E. NJ. Smith and L. s. Bailey
both Of which will be erecetd on Green
wood avenue The Bailey house will be
q handsome frame structure and will
cost four or five thousand dollars, and
the Smith house almost ~ much. There
are probably dozen cottages within
the city limits approaching completion
and . score or more in contemplation,
not to mention the Improvements of
this kind in progress in South Canon
and the immediate suburbs.
Whether the building operations of
tile last few months is due to the
construction of concrete sidewalks over
a large area of the city, or not, is a mat
ter Of speculation, but whatever the
cause may be it is highly gratifying as
il has given stimulus TO trade OF all
kinds and is promise of still greater
achievements next summer. When
the elections are over and business gets
b rex upon a normal basis Canon City
will resume the thrift and prosperity
which was to some ex:en, interrupted
by the unfortunate industrial conditions
brought upon the state year and
a half ago Ly the strike in the mining
distfdctSsE
In spite rfshe disposition of some OF
our people TO complain the fact re-
mains that Canon City has been less
seriously affected by the business de-
preston than almost any other town
in Colorado, and none has brighter
outlook for the future.
