HOLIDAY TRADE

influences make for quiet. but a

strength and still further advances on
crude and finished products.
Railway gross earnings are up to
the best of the year and exceed all
previous periods at this time. Net re-
turns indicate present profitable ope-
rations about making up for lessened
earnings earlier in the year. A pre-
liminary survey indicates close to, if
not in excess of, record proportions in
holiday business, except in some por-
tions Of the south and the Pacific Coast.
Among the metals tin and copper
alone show weakness. Leather is firm:
lumber is steady Wool is strong, sup
plies are limited, third of next
years clip is sold in advance, and the
high cost of material makes for higher
finished products.

CUTLER MOUNTAIN VICTIM
MAY BE CRIPPLE CREEK GIRL
Colorado Springs Police Searching for
Miss Minnie Swift, Who Is
Missing.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Dec. 23.-
The police of this city and the Cripple
Creek district are searching for Miss
Minnie Swift, a young woman who left
her home in Cripple Creek on Decem-
Der to spend several weeks in Colo
rado. She is said to answer the de-
seription of the Cutler Mountain vic
tim. She has not been heard from by
her family since she left her home.
The city chemist has to-day ana
lyzed the contents of the bottle found
near the scene of the murder and pro-
nounces it pure carbolic acid. The
bottle is full, however. and is believed
by the officers to be in no way con-
nected with the crime. The police are
abandoning the idea that the muir
dered girl lived in this vicinity and
are,depending upon the circulation OF
a detailed description Of her teeth TO
ultimately reveal her identity.
Chief Reynolds has also been working
upon a report made by Conductor AL
len of the Cripple Creek Short Line to
the effect that he carried girl an
swering the description of the victim
from Cripple Creek to Rosemount about
three weeks ago.
Sheriff Grimes to-day received tele-
gram from Sheriff Norman of Jackson,
Cal, asking the local officer to compare
the description of Mrs. Hoxie, who left
that town with DIR. F. n. Stapels some
six weeks ago, with that of the un-
known body. The Sheriff says the de-
scriptions do not tally in any way and
so instructed Sheriff Norman.
Many stories are being sent out OF
the finding of clothing, but according to
Chief Reynolds there is absolutely no
truth in the reports and the officers are
as much In the dark as ever.
