DISTRICT TO BE
PROMOTED BY JUDGE HOPKINS

Judge John NJ. Hopkins, lately con-
nected with Commodore Halter and
his associates in the exploitation of
the Queen-Princess and other copper
properties in the Red Gulch territory
in the western part of the county. has
opened an office on the second floor
of the postoffice block and will devote
himself to the promotion and publicity
of the mineral possibilities of the
Copperfield district, which he believes
one of the greatest copper producing
areas in the United States.
Judge Hopkins as the agent of the
district will represent no particular
will endeaver by every means in his
power to direct the attention of capi-
talists and mining men to the territory
as a whole. for, in his opinion. an in
yestment anywhere in that region can
hardly go amiss.
The Copperfield district, which is
nine miles north of Cotopaxi. contains
three separate and distinct copper
leads and nine groups of promising
properties, every one of which Judge
Hopkins is confident will pay hand
some dividends upon development. AL
though the Copperfield district has
not yet become an ore shipper it is
sure to be one before very long. 1t
has passed the prospective and expert
mental stage and entered upon a per-
iod of development, which will shortly
convert it into a steady producer

and when the required depth is

of the Copperfield district will be as
prodigal in their riches as the Hecla

in the world having been worked con-
tinuously for more than 1000 years.

Nothing can be good for everything.

Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing

They cure sick kidneys.

Mrs. C. n. Jones, living at 215 North
Sixth street, Victor, Colorado. says:
My husbands experience with Doan's
Kidney Pills dates back to over three
years ago. at which time he was cured
of severe case of kidney trouble by
them. He tried doctors and various
remedies to find relief but met with
very little success. He finally learned
of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured
box, and upon using them was cured.
At times since, when from over-exer-
ton or cold, the old trouble has re-
turned, an apeal to Doan's Kidney
Pills has never failed to remove it. We
deem it a pleasure to recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills to those who suf-
eff from kidney trouble"
