or worthlessness of the new Custer
county gold fields at the present time,"
said DR.. Clarke, "for their development
has only begun and until some data is
afforded upon which to predicate an
opinion the subject is merely one for
speculation, in which there can be no
expert testimony.

was impossible in the early days of
Cripple Creek to forecast its future
as a mining camp, SO it was in Alaska

Park. 1t may be destined to become
a great producer, but in relation to its
future it is idle to indulge in prophecy.
"The fact that SO many practical and
Creek, Leadville, Creede and other
points are going into the country and
stalking out claims is to me a more
hopeful and encouraging thing than
half the assays obtained from the ore,

outlook and are working away, appar-

and excitement which characterizes
the typical western mining camp.
"On the surface the gold is found in
an oxide of iron formation and in some
cases is easily detected by the eye. The
Spaulding district is an extensive one
and if it proves to be as rich in gold
many people believe it is it will be-
come a big source of wealth to the
state and the nation"

DIR. CLARKE LIKES THE
LOOKS OF GOLD FIELD

DR.. A. T. Clarke came home Thurs
day from the new gold camp in Silver
Park, where he has several metallifer-
Gus claims of more or less promise. He
was overtaken by a terrific rain and
electrical storm on the return trip and
was compelled to seek shelter at a
ranch house on the roadside, delaying
midnight.
DR.. Clarke has been closely identified
with the ore-bearing district adjacent
to the recently plated town of Spauld-
ing since the discovery of the precious
metal there a few months ago and his
observations in relation to the country
are interesting, although he modestly

Texas Creek late Wednesday afternoon
and taken to the hospital. where the
two first fingers of his right hand we're
amputated as the result OF injuries he
sustained while stealing a ride on a
d. & r. G. train.
Chandler confesses to being booze

He says he is painter by trade and
that he boarded freight train at Flor

care very much where.
In some way his hand dropped down
between the bumpers and two Of his
fingers were crushed, but he was too
drunk to know how it happened or to
feel any pain.

COUNTRY
HAS GOOD CROP PROSPECTS

w. A. Watson says that ranch crops
on Upper Hardscrabble Creek are
better this season than for several
years owing to frequent and copious
rains during the summer. Three good
crops of alfalfa will be harvested and
wheat, oats and other grains give
promise of gratifying yield. The
native grass has afforded an abundant
pasturage for stock and the cattle In
the hills are In excellent condition
The Hardscrabble country makes a
good agricultural showing nearly
every year with very little irrigation
as there is almost no water for that
purpose. There is more precipitation
over there during the summer months
than in most localities in Southern
Colorado, affording sufficient mois-
ture for the maturing of all of the
staple farm products.

BOUGHT A FARM
IN THE GOLD CAMP

George r. Cassidy returned to Can
on City Thursday from Spaulding gold
fields where he has bought a large
tract of ore-bearing property which he
will at once proceed to develop. In or
der to be on the ground floor in the
event of big mineral excitement over
there Mr.. Cassidy purchased one hun
dred and sixty acres of land. over
portion of which is traceable the same
vein that outcrops on the Ondrejcsk
ranch, now owned by E. G. Bettis.
"As soon as we can get down to bed
rock" said Mr.. Cassidy, I'VE can de-
termine the value of the gold fields. 1t
looks pretty good now, but it is i'm
possible to figure out the worth of
claim over there until somebody sinks
a shaft down to water, which is the
only real test that l know anything
about.
"a lot OF work is being done and
several mines are being opened, one or
two of them getting out pay dirt. Sew
eral discoveries have been made within
the last week or ten days between
Spaulding and Silver Cliff and interest
in the new territory is gradually in
tensifying. The outlook is very en-
couraging and l believe the camp will
be a permanent one. l have faith
enough in the future of the district
to go ahead and develop the property
which I lately acquired by purchase"

NEWS NOTES FROM THE
RED GULCH MINING CAMP

The outlook here in mining is quite
promising at present.
The past week several outside par
ties have been here looking over the
camp.
Mr.. Sloan, formerly Of Cripple Creek.
later superintendent of Salida mine,
was one of the visitors here. Mr. Har-
rison. of the w. P. H. mine at Cripple
Creek, was also here. He talked very
favorably of investing and said it
was the best copper proposition he
had ever seen for the amount of work
done.
Mr.. Upton, superintendent of the
Anchoria-Leland mine at Cripple
Creek, and his family were here for
several days and looked the camp over
quite thoroughly. He thought there
was good prospects of its making a
good mining camp and his company
may invest here.
Mr.. Shafer, successful leaser of
Cripple Creek. located some property
here.
The Red Gulch Copper Mining Co.
has opened an entirely new vein of
rich ore on their properties. 1t is
twelve inches wide of almost solid
mineral
Mr.. Glidden, on his property adjoin-
ing these, on the north yesterday,
opened an entirely new vein six feet
wide which resemble Lake Superior
Copper.
Mr.. Grallup has given an option on
a part of his claims and cabins. His
holdings are considered quite valuable.
Mr. Worth has tunnel in about one
hundred feet on his properties and has
started sinking winze on high
grade streak of copper glance.

CANON HAS FLOUR1SHlNG
AUTOMOBILE CLUB

Canon City autoists are regularly
affiliated members of the Colorado Au-
tomobile Club, and to that extent are
exerting their influence for better
roads throughout the state.
The officers of the local organization
are w. H. Trout, president; DR.. G. H.
Kellenberger, vice-president; DR.. Otis
Orendorf, secretary; Harry McClan-
ahan, treasurer. The club is endeav-
oring to affect some kind of an ar
rangement with the city council by
which it's members will be permitted
to drive their machines over the Sky
line boulevard, thing which they are
now debarred from doing by ordinance
AS soon as the special committee of
the club is able to get conference
with the councilmen and citizens who
were instrumental in having the bou-
levard constructed it is believed the
matter will be settled upon basis
satisfactory to all concerned.
The members of the club have no
desire to run their autos over the
Skyline road in OPPOSITION to anybody,
but think that some plan should be
devised by which the prohibition al
luded to should be withdrawn. They
realize that automobiling on road
of that character would to some ex-
tent imperil the safety of people rid
ing in carriages and they are willing
to keep off most Of the time to avoid
frightening timid horses. They think
that they ought to have the use OF the
Skyline one day each week and will
treat with the committees referred to
on that basis.

AMERICAN PEOPLE
 KNOW THEIR WANTS

Speaking of the Statehood issue in Aiizona and New Mexico the New York Sun says:
 "If Arizona should go for jointure it would be a tre- mendous surprise. About all that is conceded to joint state hood now is 20 per cent of the vote that will be cast in the Territory. The last emphatic expression of Arizona's views is contained in the plank adopted by the Republican and Democratic Territorial conventions which met separ- ately at Bisbee, last week. This plank reads:
 We are unslterably opposed to joint statehood between Arizona and New Mexico and would prefer to remain a Territory forever than to have joint state with New MeXico.'
 "The expression of senti- ments like these would hardly seem calculated to increase the desire of New Mexicans to join with Arizona.
 "Should the vote on joint ure turn out as is expected, it will undoubtedly be regarded as a rebuke for Speaker Canon and other Republican leaders who have done all that they could to add to the Union a State called Arizona and cpm- posed Of the two huge Terri tories left in the southwest, but it will be another demon stration following several that have been given recently that American people know pretty well what their local wants are."

DELEGATE SMiTH'S CLEAN CAMPAIGN

Mark Smith has adopted a policy to pursue in the cam paign which has just opened that will commend him to every lnyal and fair minded citizen nf Arizona, says the Globe Silver Belt. A core spDndent of the Phoenix Re publican writing from St. Johns, Apachs County, refers to the manner in which MT. Smith opened his speech making as "the strongest in the history of the pol tical campaign" and explains this by adding:
 Not a ord did he say sgainst the pposins party, not . word in favor of his own party, and scarcely word in favor of himself The whole of his talk was against the one great issue of iointure.
 It is none the less com mcndable in Mark Smith to entirely ignore partisan ques- J tons because of the generally accepted opinion that his re. e ection as Delegate to Con- gress l. certain, for in placing the campaign on so high a level, making the contest with the Republican candidate a friendly ore, and surrender ing the advantage which he m'ght we'll have availed hi n- self of by contrasting his ex- perience and notable services rend red the people of Ari- zona a' Washington, with the ex erience of his opponent, Mark Smith has shown him. self a statesman. He has eliminated every question of personal partisan gain. and makes the preservation of Arizona's autonomy not pnly the paramount but the one great issue of the campaign For this generous stand Mark Smith will be the more highly regarded by thousands of his admirers throughout the ter ritory.

 The only feature of the story that can be confirmed is that letter re- lating the alleged end of Salcido has been received. It gave some details of his death.

Our esteemed contemporary the Phoenix Gazette is driver to desperation in it's enforced position of advoca ing w. F Cooper for Delegate to Con gress, In the PROsPEcToR oi the 18th inst. the followIn editorial item occurred:
 Some men are born to hold office, some achieve office, and some have office thrust upon them. But it is doubtful # Billy" Cooper ever ascer. tains to what class he belongs.
 The Gazette, maliciously or unwittingly, distorted the item by making it read as fol lows:
 The Tombstone PRosPEcToR says some men are born to hold office, some achieve office, and some have office thrust upon them. Billy Cooper an swers to the first and last qualifcs- tions at the present time and by No vember 7th. with the help of patriotic Arizonsns, he will qualify for the sec- opd.
 It will be observed that what the PRosPECToR said, nd the sentiments attri uted to us by the Gazette, carry entirely diffe ent meanings, the Phoenix paper credit.ng us
