NOT MUCH DOING IN =
MAIL ORDER TOWN

The Mail would like to see one Colo
RADIO county entirely settled by mail
order people, just to see what would
happen
The stores would stand it as long
as they could, then move away. Banks
would close their doors. Newspapers
would have to quit. The hotels would
go out of business. mechanics move
away, churches dwindle, buildings be-
come vacant and dilapidated.
Strangers would take one look and
fee. Isn't that precisely what would
happen If an entire county were popu-
lated with people who purchased
everything in Chicago?
Who would buy a farm so located
that he couldn't drive to some sort or
town. Be a friend to your town Mr..
Farmer. and it will be a friend to
you.-Salida Mail.

greatly astonished by the approach Of

being unable to do so owing TO sort
of fascination for the scene. 1t was 4
splendid specimen of it's kind and was
witnessed by at least a hundred people
on the train. The incident took place

C. H. Duncan, who is associated with
Lon Franck another Canon City man
in number of mining propositions in
the new gold fields in the Silver Park
country. came home Tuesday night
from Spaulding where he went the
previous day in company with some
friends from Cripple Creek to make
an inspection of the district.
Mr.. Duncan has made several trips
into the territory around Spaulding
since the discovery of gold in that Sec
ton and is pretty well informed upon
investigations have been those of a
prospector and have not been influ-
enced by a preconceived opinion, and,
on that account, are entitled to the
utmost credence Mr.. Duncan says
the Spaulding district looks more
promising than Cripple Creek did three
months after the discovery of gold in
that section and he is of the opinion
that it is destined to be the greatest
mining camp in the history of Colo
rado.
Mr. Duncan brought home with him
some splendid specimens of ore. some
of it showing values that run into
hundreds of dollars ton. He brought
back a piece of silver ore, almost
pure metal, that assays something like
Is 900 ouces, or $4,000 to the ton. II
was given TO him by a man who un-
covered vein of silver of almost fab,
ulous value in consequence of digging
| into hole made by a prairie dog. The
rodent was the real discoverer of the
argentiferous vein, and in consequence
its industry in opening it up to view
the owner of the claim is likely TO be-
come a rich man. 1T is a striking
commentary on human skill and inge-
nuity," said Mr. Duncan, when prairie
dogs prove themselves to be better
miners of the precious metals than
men,
