RICH ORE IN THE
sPAULDING DISTRICT

Lou Franck came home on Thursday
from the gold fields in Silver Park on
business connected with some mining
properties he owns in Sonora, Mexico,
and is preparing to leave in a day or
two with a party of Eastern capital
lists for the purpose of showing them
his Mexican claims, which are located
some distance inland from Hermosillo.
Speaking of the Custer county gold
fields Mr.. Franck said he believed they
had great future as a producer of
the precious metals. Some remark
able ore has been found in that sec
ton, according to Mr.. Franck, and if
it holds out, as there is reason to be-
lieve it will, the new territory will be-
come a modern Ell Dorado. Last Sun
day morning half dozen or more men
visited Mr.. Franck's claim and broke
down a quantity of ore from the breast
of the shaft, which is only about eight
feet deep, which made such marvel
GUS showing after being panned that
they had it assayed, the result of
which was 200 ounces of gold to the
ton, or $4,000.
A large quantity of ore was taken
from another shaft, which gave a re-
turn of $500 to the ton.
Everybody is buoyant over in the
Spaulding district" said Mr.. Franck,
"and the impression is growing that
is destined to become great mineral
camp"

PLANNING 70 EMPLOY A
LARGE FORCE OF MEN

The extensive improvements made
by the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company
the last few months for the mining
and handling of coal at Mine No. 5, or
Nonac, as it is now called, is prelim-
mary to the employment of a much
larger force of men during the winter
when it is expected there will be be-
tween two and three hundred miners
on the pay roll.
Several thousand dollars have been
expended by the company during the
summer in machinery and other ply
sicat equipment, and the facilities for
taking out the bituminous product at
the Nonac mine are now second to
no mine of its kind in the Arkansas
Valley. The fame of Canon City coal

CHICAGO BANKER SPEAKS
GOOD WORD FOR MINING

A good many bad things have been
said about mining. Some of our lead
ing dailies are influenced at times in
selling both their news and editorial
columns as pure readers, paid for at
so much line to influence the public
in the interests of some man or set of
men. The president of one OF the larg-
est banks in Chicago bought some min
ing stocks. The other officials Incl
dentally learned OF the fact. The pris-
ident was in reality the leading owner
of a large gold and copper mine In the
west. His brother officials criticized
him severely for investing in this man
ner The president answered.:
Throughout the Rocky Mountain
ranges, ages gone. God built stronger
vaults in his granite banks than ours.
He filled these banks with gold. silver
and copper. He gave the prospector

NO SATURDAY HOLIDAYS
AT COUNTY COURT HOUSE

The court house officials and en-
ployes, who have enjoyed half-holi-
day on Saturdays during the last three
months, will after this week continue
to grind out full day on Saturday,
the same as less fortunate individuals.
The only chance left for the court
house fellows to get away from their
duties is to wait until some official
dies or legal holiday comes along.
From June / until September /, the
hottest months OF the year, all Offices
in the court house close on Saturday
afternoon for the. purpose OF giving
the employees an opportunity Of enjoy
ing out-of-door recreation. 1t has been
the custom for number of years to
do this and it is an appreciated inno-
walton. OF course. all Offices at the
court house close on any known pro-
vocation, legal holidays affecting the
legality of their transactions the same
as it does the banks. To do business
at the court house on legal holiday
would go against the grain of the
clerks and would invalidate all papers
and other documents signed on those
occasions.

BETTER FACILITIES FOR
ENTERING FAIR GROUNDS

A committee from the board of di-
rectors of the Fair Association visited
the fair grounds last Saturday and
mapped out the necessary changes
and improvements to be made there
during the next two or three weeks.
Among other things decided on was
the determination to make new en-
trance to the grounds for horses and
vehicles, separating it from that used
by footmen. The entrance for horses
and vehicles will hereafter be at the
southwest corner, change that can
not help being very acceptable to the
public, as it will relieve much Of the
congestion that has heretofore existed
and will minimize the danger of acct
dents at the main gateway.

MANY FALL STRAWBERRIES
EXPECTED BY GROWERS

A few boxes Of the second crop OF
strawberries have been brought to
town and shown in grocer's windows,
but it is little too early for them to
invade the market in any considerable
quantity, although they are expected
to do SO later.
The indications are that good
many strawberries will be placed on
the market by local growers within
the next few weeks and that they will
bring fancy prices; the volume and
value of the crop depending. of course,
on the weather. There were very few
fall strawberries grown here last year,
although twelve months previously the
yield was exceptionally large, making
their appearance in market in Sep
tember and lasting we'll into the fol-
lowing month.
The prospect this year for a fall
crop of strawberries is better than
1t has been for several seasons. The
autumn Strawberries, are, of course,
less abundant than the spring ones.
but they fetch growers far better price
on account of their scarcity.
Cañon City record., 1906-09-06
MOST OF THE FALL FRUIT
is NOW ON THE MARKET

The appearance of homegrown
grapes in the market is one of the her
aids of the autumn months and fore
shadows the advent of a new season
as clearly as the ripening of grain
does of summer.
Concord grapes from local vineyards
have been coming TO town for several
days and are selling at forty cents a
basket. They are more abundant this
year than they were last and in quality
the crop is much superior to that OF
twelve months ago.
The market is full of all sorts of
small fruits; plums-the big blue and
red varieties-and peaches, being in
the greatest abundance, although
cantaloupes and watermelons from
Rocky Ford are everywhere to be had
at prices little lower than last year.
Homegrown blackberries are also Oh
exhibition and strawberries, too, for
that matter, although the prices of the
latter are a little altitudinous for the
modest purse.
The Rocky Ford watermelons are
said to be less plentiful this year than
usual on account of many of the melon
growers in that section having turned
their attention TO the sugar beet in

w. F. PAYNE'S RESIDENCE
DAMAGED BY FIRE

The residence of w. F. Payne, the
Iaundryman, at SIS Forest avenue, was
damaged to the extent of several hun
dred dollars about 4 o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon as the result of fire
which originated in the kitchen under
somewhat puzzling circumstances.
Mrs Payne was on the lawn in front
of the house at the time and did not
know of the fire until apprized of it
by one of the neighbors. An alarm
was telephoned in to the fire depart
ment but the location of the trouble
was understood to be Sis Pike avenue
and a delay of fully five minutes was
caused by the mistake. Fortunately
there was no wind and the progress
of the flames was not as rapid as it
would otherwise have been.
Most of the furniture was removed
to a place of safety and was not great
ly damaged from either fire or water /;
the loss on this account being estimat-
ed at something like one hundred dol
lars, fully covered by insurance. The
house, which is owned by the Ray
nolds estate, was damaged to the ex-
tent of perhaps two hundred dollars.
and was also insured.

states is largely due to the excellence
of the product of No. 5, which was one
of the pioneer coal mines of Fremont
county.
For long period it was not worked
owing to the difficulties to be overcome
in its operation and it practically
filled up with water and debris of
various kinds during the years of its
abandonment
On coming into possession of the
Colorado Fuel & Iron Company, which
purchased it with numerous other coal
properties from the Santa Fe COM
pany, it was decided to clean it out
and continue the development of its
coal measures, which were far from
being exhausted. For two or three
years work has been carried on with
that end in view and the gradual in
crease in it's output is in pursuance of
plans formulated by the Colorado Fuel
& Iron Company at the time of its ac-
QUESTION.
The regular employment of 200 men
at No 5, at good wages, will be cheer
full news to the merchants and busi-
ness men of Canon City, as it will
mean the spending of large sum of

NEW DOCKS FOR SUPERIOR.
When Completed They. Will Be the
Largest on the Great Lakes.

Superior.-At the present time
large force of men have nearly COM
pleted tearing down ore dock No. at
Allouez. This was commenced several
months ago, with the intention OF re-
placing it with a modern and much
larger ore dock at that place. The
new dock when completed will be one
OF the best in the world About 6,000,-
600 feet of lumber was consumed in
the building of the old structure,
which was about 1900 feet long, with
200 pockets. Each pocket was capa-
BILE of containing some 125 tons of ore.
The iron which was used in the old
dock is fit for nothing but the scrap
pile, where the most of it has found
it's way already This dock, when
completed, will be the largest at the
head of the lakes, and, therefore, the
largest in the world. It's capacity will
be 374 pockets, holding from 275 to
500 tons of ore each. According to
the terms of the contract the new
dock will be ready for business May
next. With it's finish the capacity
of the docks at this point will be APP
proximately 100000 tons of ore.

Milwaukee.-Pre Palmer of

them with false statements.
Judge Palmer says: ANY open
charge or covert insinuation that the
trustees or officers of this company
have at any time, or in any manner,
been guilty of misrepresentation of the
icompany's funds or manipulation of
the company's business for personal
gain is unqualifiedly false
The judge says that the officers are
honest, and while they may have
made mistakes, they were not inten-
tional. He takes issue with the com
mittee on the statements regarding
proxies and says that the inspection
bureau is proper. He says the com
mittee uses half truths when the pup
lie was entitled to the entire truth.

Milwaukee.-The celebrated suit
brought by the legal guardian of Mrs.
Emma Lonstorf, who became insane
after being deserted by her husband,
Otto Lonstorf, is reported to have

husband of few months.
The plaintiff, through her guardian,
has asked for $750,000 damages,
charging conspiracy on the part of
Mrs. Margaretha Lonstorf and others
to ALLEVIATE the affections of her hus-
