PRESENTED REMONSTRANCE
TO COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

A remonstrance. signed by seven
hundred and eighty legal voters of
South Canon and Lincoln Park, was
filed with the bo1rd OF county COM
missioners on Monday by C. F. Pressey
president OF the local anti-saloon lea
que, in opposition to the proposed
petition of the people Of Prospect
Heights to have that village set aside
as a separate voting precinct
1t was expected that the people OF
Prospect Heights would present their
petition for separation on Monday, but
up To O'Clock this afternoon they
had taken no steps in the matter and
may decide to abandon 1t entirely in
view of the opposition 1t has aroused.
The petition for a separate voting
precinct is for the purpose OF per-
petuating the licensed saloon, q thing
which the people OF South Canon and
Lincoln Park have decreed by their
votes shEu not exist II they can help
it. Only q little over q thousand votes
were cast In South Canon and Lincoln
Park at the last general election and
that seven hundred and eighty of
them should place themselves on re-
cord as being opposed to the creation
OF a new precinct, the only purpose
Of which seems to be to nullify the
local option law, shows pretty conclus-
lively how they stand on the question.

THE GOLDEN CYCLE MILL
BURNED EARLY WEDNESDAY

Special Dispatch to The Daily Record:
Colorado Springs, Aug. THE Col
den Cycle ore and reduction mill at
Colorado City was burned this morn
ing, entailing a loss estimated at
$3.50. 900, on which there was only
$500 900 in insurance.
1t was built and controlled largely
by St Louis capital and was one of
the largest and most perfect plants
of it's kind in the United States. A
large quantity of Cripple Creek ore
was annually treated by the Golden
Cycle company and the destruction of
the mill this morning will necessitate
the shipment to some other point for
reduction, much of 1t probably going
to Canon City.
Over 800 men will be thrown out of
employment and the blow to Colorado
City and the low grade mines of
Cripple Creek will be heavy.
A number OF box cars on the siding
on the tracks at the mill were totally
destroyed.
