MERCHANTS WILL
ADVERTISE THE CITY

The regular monthly meeting of the
Canon City Merchants Association was
held last Monday night and consider
able business of public nature trans
acted. For some time past the asso-
citation has had under consideration
the matter of issuing sixteen page
booklet relating to Canon City and its
envfrons to be distributed under the
direction of Secretary Ross for adver-
tising purposes, and. among other bus
iness done last Monday night, was the
adoption of a resolution favoring its
publication. The booklet will be an
artiSk4s piece of work and will con-
tain lot of statistical data concern
ing the climate and resources of this
part of the Arkansas valley. 1t will
be illustrated by eight half-tone cuts
of familiar scenes in Canon City, and
its immediate surroundings and will
go into No. 6is envelope for mailing
purposes 1t was decided to issue
%. 900 of these booklets. 5000 of which
will be distributed under the auspices
of Canon City Lodge, B. p o. F., at
the forthcoming convention of the Elks
in Denver.
day nights meeting was to the effect
that its members would not subscribe
money or other assistance in support
of any so-called public enterprise un-
less 1t had received the endorsement
of the association. The motive that
prompted this resolution was not a
selfish one but was based upon the
theory that the members of the asso-
citation are not financially able to help
exploit every idea that seems to be for
the public good. IL 1t receives the
concurrence of the association il may
be regarded by its members as worthy
of every encouragement within their
power. The resolution was designed
to save the members of the association
the trouble of personal investigation
of the merits OF many theories pur-
porting to be for the general veal, and
to protect them from those lacking in
public virtue.

new CLERKS NEEDED
TO HANDLE BUSINESS

Visitors to the Fremont County Bank
the last few days could hardly have
failed to notice the unusual roomy ap-
pearance inside the bank counter.
The change from the old order of
things is due to the removal of the
bookkeepers and their desks from the
counting room to the large compart-
ment at the rear of the building, which
was erected by Mr. Reynolds last year
for the express use of the bookkeepers
whenever the business should warrant
their removal to a room by themselves.
The transactions of the bank are SO
steadily increasing that it has become
necessary TO put on third individual
bookkeeper. and. in order to procure
room. it was essential to make a re-
arrangement of things; the most i'm
portant feature OF which was to take
the bookkeepers out of the main count
ing room of the bank
1t makes, however. very desirable
change all around. as the bookkeepers
are now in large room, most excel
lently lighted. and all by themselves
where more work can be accomplished
with less mental endeavor. The alter
atious alluded to also make the count
ing room in every way more conven-
lent and business can be handled more
expeditiously and at a greater advant-
age.
There is now upon the pay roll of
the bank force of ten people. This
is a large number of employees for a
financial institution but no more than
might be expected when one stops to

E.C.BETTIS BUYS
new COLD FIELD
President of the Royal Gorge Co.
Has Confidence That New Dig
gings Will Prove Richest In the
State.

E. G. Belts returned TO Canon on
Tuesday night from the scene of the
recent gold discovery in Silver Park,
six miles south of Ilse, very enthusi-
astic over the mining outlook in that
section, which he thinks is destined
to play an important part in Colorado
production of precious metals.
So confident is Mr.. Bettis in the
future of the new gold camp that he
has purchased an option from John
discovery Wos made that caused such
fiutter of excitement among mining
men couple of weeks ago. The op-
ton is on eighty acres from which
Mr.. Andrejcsik obtained patent from
the government in October, 1900, and
contains, according to Mr.. Bettis,, a
veritable mountain of gold bearing ore
with surface values ranging from SIS
to SIS per ton. 1t is carbonate, free
milling proposition and the ore can
be handled very cheaply, which is, of
course, greatly in its favor.
Mr.. Bettis brought back with him
large number of samples of aurifer-
Gus bearing rock from the Andrejcsik
property, which he placed on exhibi-
ton at the office 81 the Royal Gorge
Coal Company at All Main street, and
it has attracted much attention from
prospectors and others. 1t looks like
good stun and seems to justify Mr..
Bettis' enthusiasm. He is having no
less than seven assays of the ore made
which he brought back with him and
IL the results are what he expects
he will invest in the new Ell Dorado.
The locality where the gold is found
is in Custer county. about thirty-eight
miles from here and is easily access
ible at this season of the year.

FIND OIL INDICATIONS
on THE SURFACE

G. w Gwillim and associates, who
have been boring for oil near the en-
trance to the Royal Gorge for several
weeks continue sanguine of success
and there is much reason for 'the
faith that's in them" A few days ago
oil was found oozing out of the ground
within a few hundred yards OF where
they were boring. but the matter was
kept very quiet until lease upon the
property could be secured, when 1t
was made public for the first time.
A new company with larger working
capital Is being formed and II Is con-
fidently expected that a paying well
will be In operation in the course OF
a month or six weeks. Mr.. Gwillim
says that oil in paying quantities VIII

.SCHOLASTICA'S
COMMENCEMENT
Interesting Exercises Thursday
Evening Many Girls Renew
Old Friendships.

Last week was a memorable one in
the annals of Mt. st. Scholasticas
Academy, marking as it did the close
of what was. perhaps, the most sue
cessful year in the chronicles of that
popular institution for girls. The first
of the commencement events was the
dramatic recital at the chapel Wednes-
day evening by Miss Cecilia Pursell
of Elkton, Colorado, and was happy
augury of the exercises which were to
follow. Miss Pursell possesses much
natural talent as reader and the
careful training she has received at
Mt St Scholasticas has made of her
an accomplished recitationist, giving
her poise and gracefulness in her
chosen art otherwise unobtainable.
musical program of exceptional
interest was rendered by the students
Thursday morning in the presence of
a large assemblage of the friends of
the institution, at the close of which
there was a distribution of medals,
premiums and certificates of promo
ton. The participants acquitted them
selves with the utmost credit and
demonstrated the thoroughness of the
instruction they had undergone while
students of their alma mater. The
graduating festivities this year were
characterized by an unusually large
attendance of visitors, many of whom
were former pupils The manner in
which they fingered about the grounds
proved that they had not forgotten old
associations and that they had deep
affection for Mt. ST Scholasticas and
those connected with it in the capac-
ity of teacher and instructor.
+ The graduation proper occurred on
Thursday night and the program was
listened to with much satisfaction by
an audience which filled every part of
the chapel Glass colors were every
where in evidence and the occasion
was the elimination of long period
of study and preparation to the grad
yates. who had looked forward to Ii
with great pleasure and expectancy.
After a welcome to the visitors. in
which all of the pupils participated,
| the crowning of the graduates took
place. their alma mater being imper-
sonated by Miss Margaret Curry. The
next number on the program was a
piano duo by Misses Erin and Dorothy
by the presentation of "Anima, The
Human Soul" morality in three acts,
by the members of the graduating
class Other numbers were piano
solo by Miss Cecilia Pursell, the vale
iictory by Miss Margaret Hogan, the
annual class address by Rev David
T. ODwyer of Glenwood Springs, and
the chorus. "A Fond Adieu," by the
seniors.
I The address of Rev. O'Dwyer was
an eloquent one and we reg-et that we
are unable to lay a resume of it be-
/ fore our readers. All of the events
I in connection with commencement
were of high character and were
very gratifying TO the students and
their friends.
/ The enrolment at Mt St Scholas-
I ticas was larger this year than ever
before: in fact, each season shows a
growth in patronage and in influence
1t is gradually taking a foremost po-
sition among the schools of its kind
/ in the West.

Of Land Embracing the Royal Gorge
to Canon fora q Public Park.

~ S0ttVh Wy . sOss~
The bill before Congress- giving the
tract of land around the Royal Gorge
TO Canon City for public park has
finally passed and received the presi-
dents signature.
The bill was introduced and pushed
through by Congressman F. e. Brooks,
who deserves much credit for As pass
age.
The park includes eight sections OF
land. II is two miles by four miles in
extent The southwest corner is some
where near Fremonts Peak. The city
Will soon survey the land and mark
the corners. The city need not spend
much money in It's maintenance.
The chief advantage to the commun-
ity is in keeping this tract OF land open
for the public and preventing further
locations.
The possibilities of making this a
World-famous park are great The
Royal Gorge In itself is enough. but
there are numerous other canons and
beauty spots that can be developed
that will add to its attractiveness.
Much of this tract though within
known to man as the iungles OF Africa
II offers excellent opportunities for
the mountain climber and explorer.
