BACK FROM THE MINING
CAMPS OF THE SOUTHWEST

Herbert J. Willard, late clerk at the
ST. Cloud hotel but for the last four
or five months a resident of Reno,
New, was a visitor in town Saturday.
Mr.. Willard was married to Mrs. Jen-
ME Gannett, former proprietess of
the st. Cloud hotel, in Salt Lake City
soon after leaving here and a few
weeks later they removed to Reno.
Mrs. Willard made a personal investi-
cation of mining conditions at Tono-
pah and Goldfield, and invested some
money there, which 1t Is thought will
prove highly remunerative. Owing to
the disagreeableness of the climate in
that section of the country Mr.. and
Mrs. Willard few weeks ago returned
to this state, and are making their
home in Pueblo. Mr.. Willard says
there Is only one chance in several
thousand in striking 1t rich in the
Nevada gold camps and as he had no
faith in his own luck concluded to
come back to Colorado. He says
Canon City looks mighty good to
him.

HURRAH FOR THE BOYS
WHO WORE THE BLUE

Last Wednesday evening the men,
bers of Greenwood Post, No. 18, G. A.
R., at Elks hall gallantly demon
strated to their three hundred friends
that they know the true secret Of
hospitality. The entire program for
the evening was both novel and enter
tanning and their social success should
certainly be spelled with big "s."
Too much credit cannot be given the
boys" for their efforts In this the
initial Of a series OF contemplated
socials during the summer months,
and especially to Comrade Blanchard,
who never for a moment relaxed his
strenuosity as chairman and toast
master.
The program opened with music
from the fife and drum corp, composed
Of veterans; then a short but effective
talk by Captain Mingay, urging the
necessity and advisabillty OF forming
a camp Of the Sons Of Veterans. The
captain very forcibly appealed to the
sons OF our old soldiers to be ready
to fall in" as the old soldiers fell
out. Fall in-close up" he said,
should be the watchword Of the pro-
posed new camp.

COPPER PRINCE MAY MAKE
THE RED GULCH FAMOUS

Red Gulch promises to become as
famous for it's copper as Cripple
Creek is for it's gold. Already from
70 to 100 men are engaged in mining
in the Red Gulch territory and great
things are expected there before the
summer is over. Red Gulch, which is
nine miles north of Cotopaxi, Is the
center of what no doubt is the richest
copper district in Colorado If not in
the United States. The telephone line
has been built into the district within
the past week, postoffice has been
established and a town site to be
called Copperfield is being surveyed
company has been organized for
the purpose of lighting the camp and
installing hosting machinery in the
mine. The Copper Prince Mining and
Smelling company, which is control
led by Chicago and Buffalo capitalists,
I is probably the most active one in the
territory. 1t has struck vein in
Copper Prince No. 3 which promises
to become a great producer and it is
predicted that it will prove more valu-
able than Copper Prince No. 1.
Two carloads OF ore have just been
brought to the United States smelter
here for test purposes. One carload
was high grade ore and was 81 per
cent copper, probably the highest
grade ever taken out of a Colorado
copper mine. The Copper Prince

SAYS CENTRAL HAS MADE FULL
PAYMENT OF TAXES.
CONCEALED NO OPERATION
Insists Executive Selected Extreme
Illustrations and Omitted EquaIiz-
ing Operations-Demand That
Minimum Rate Apply Would
Starve Out Branch Lines.

Chicago, Jan. 12.-J. T. Harahan,
president of the Illinois Central rail
way, issued statement last night re
plying to the special message sent by
Governor Deneen to the Illinois legis-
lature yesterday, asking for an appro-
priation Of $15O,OOO to cover the ex.
pense of litigation in an effort to Sc
cure the payment by the Illinois Cen
trail to the state of Illinois of back
taxes. The railroad already has paid
yearly what Harahan declares to be
the correct amount of taxes to the
state, but which Governor Deneen
maintains is far from being the right
amount according to the charter of
the railroad as he interprets It.
Harahan in his statement says that
ever since the origin of the Illinois
Central the semi-annual reports have
been made setting forth each month
the amount and sources of revenues
on which the state received it's seven
per cent, the amount required by
law; that the railroad has never con-
cealed any of its operations; that
books have been open for inspection
at all times, and the manner of doing
all this has been satisfactory to all
former governors. He insists that
the company has no intention or de-
sire TO avoid the full payment of
the states share of its revenue,
Governor Deneen,' he says, ''has
selected extreme illustrations and
omits equalizing conditions in his
message referring to the division of
revenue arising from business carried
over both the original chartered lines
and the other lines of the company.
As an illustration he declares the
Cairo bridge charge should be elimi-
mated, This proposal violates the
recognized practice, besides the
bridge is wholly within the state of
Kentucky and the toll is charged
under franchise granted by that
state and is less than the charter au-
thorizes."
His contention is that the earnings
from joint traffic should be divided
between the chartered and nom
chartered lines on mileage basis
and would result in giving to the
chartered lines more than its local
rate for carrying traffic from the
point of origin to Cairo.
His demand that the minimum
rate recognized in dealings with the
other companies should not apply to
divisions between our main and
branch lines in Illinois would never
do as his proposed plan would starve
branch lines out of existence"
