up for a very aggressive temperance
campaign preparatory to availing
themselves of the provisions of the
local option law, passed by the last
general assembly of Colorado. Beuna

hibition. There will be speaking every
evening by prominent clergymen and

c. A. BIGGS BRINGS FINE
AUTOHOBHE TO TOWN

G. A. Biggs Is the possessor Of a
sixty horse power touring car, prob
ably the most powerful machine Of
the kind in Canon City. 1t was
brought here from Denver last Sum
day under its own motor, Mr.. MIL
Ter of Denver being the driver. Be-
sides the chauffeur there came down
in the car from Denver Herbert Bowl
by, Homer Biggs, L. M. Wingert and
Mr.. Brooks, all of whom were delight
ed with its splendid behavior ON the
trip.
In the vicinity of Palmer Lake two
feet of crusted snow was encountered
by the automobilists and progress was
necessarily slow, in fact, a less pow
erful machine would have been unable
to have forged its way through the
snow and ice. which was drifed in
places to such depth as to almost
place an embargo on ordinary means
of travel.
Mr.. Biggs' machine is Thomas"
and is probably the swiftest owned in
this city. 1t was manufactured at
Buffalo, N. Y.

c. J. Fredrickson returned home
Thursday evening from Sioux City, Ia,
where he. together with Joseph Au-

rectors OF the Eureka Exploration
company. with whom satisfactory ar
rangements were made to use the
Silver Wing tunnel in taking out the
ore from the Golden Eagle Mining

The Golden Eagle Mining company
undoubtedly owns one of the best
mining properties In the Gan Juan
country. The Silver Wing tunnel cuts
through one OF the company's ore
veins At . depth Of 100 feet This
vein runs lengthwise ON its property
over 400 feet, having an average
width OF three feet and reaching 1900
feet above the tunnel. thus showing
up over 60l 900 tons OF mineral which

HAROLD 8. McKNAB
is GIVEN HEAVY FINE

Harold s. McKnab, who was ar
rested last week by Deputy Game
Warden Givens of Florence for kill
ing mountain sheep near Cramer,
seven or eight miles northeast Of this
city, Wednesday entered plea Of
guilty as charged before Judge Coop
er of the county court and was fined
FIVE hundred dollars and costs.
McKnab was unable to pay. and, in
default, was committed to the county
jail. where. it is understood. he will
be compelled to serve out his fine at
the rate of two dollars a day.
McKnab's punishment is an unus-
ually severe one but he is not re-
ceiving a great deal of sympathy on
that account as public sentiment
throughout this part OF the state Is
strongly opposed to the killing OF
mountain sheep, which are almost ex-
tinct.
Mcknab is young man, twenty-six
years of age, and came to this county
only few weeks ago from Old Mex
leo where he had been employed by
an American Mining company. He is
unmarried and came originally from
Pennsylvania where most Of his rela-
tives reside.
The head. skin and feet Of the sheep
killed by McKnab were this morning
purchased by J. NJ. Cramer OF S24
Harrison avenue on whose ranch the
animal was slaughtered. The head
and skin are exceptionally fine speci-
mems OF their kind and will be placed
In the hands OF q taxidermist for
mounting. Although they cost him
pretty penny. Mr.. Cramer il very
proud OF them.

COPPERFIELD TO AGAIN
BECOME ACTIVE CAMP

The return Wednesday night OF
Capt. A. ]. Halter from Minneapolis
and st. Paul. Minnesota, in company
with T. J. McNelly. prominent real
estate dealer of Minneapolis and Du-
luth, promises much in the way Of
development for the copper properties
owned and controlled by the former
in the Copperfield district in the west
ern part of this county. Mr.. Halter
left here for the east some time prev
ious to the Christmas holidays to in
terest capitalists in his mining here,
but the financial upheaval which be-
gan in Wall street In October was at
its heighth In the middle west and he
was unable to SO much as get the at
tention OF investors. although he had
splendid proposition to offer. Money
was tight everywhere and 1t was i'm
possible to float a mining enterprise
in any Of the financial centers of the
country.
Conscious that he had a good thing
to offer Mr.. Halter was not discour-
aged. although naturally disappointed
that he could not secure the assist
ance and cooperation he desired In
the exploitation of his proposition. AZ
soon as the financial horizon began
to clear confidence returned to Mr..
Halter and he no longer felt any ap-
prehension or fear OF failure. He was
sure that he could demonstrate to a
mathematic certainty that the Queen
Princess Copper Mining company was
predicated upon property. the value
OF which could not be questioned. 1t
was based upon a security as solid
could establish that fact II would be
an easy matter to secure all the in
vestors he wanted when the monetary
disturbance was over.
When the financial sky began to
brighten he went to Mr.. McNelly,
prominent member OF the real estate
exchanges in Minneapolis and Duluth.
and laid the matter OF copper before
him. Mr.. McNelly had been here sew
eral times and had made an exhaus-
tive investigation OF the Copperfield
properties and was 80 well convinced
that they were good thing that he
purchased a big block of stock in the
Queen-Princess company. Mr.. Nc
Nelly not only introduced Mr.. Halter
to his friends and encouraged them
to subscribe to his properties. but
took some more stock himself to show
his good faith in the matter. So thor
oughly convinced. was he that the
had the making Of q
great copper mine that he decided to
return to Colorado with Mrs Halter
and assist in planning for lot Of
work to be inaugurated
as soon as possible.
A number Of other gentlemen who
have become Interested in the Queen
Princess property through Mr.. Halter
are expected to arrive here In few
days from Chicago and Buffalo and
will be taken to Copperfield to make
an inspection of the copper producing
OF the district. That there
is an abundance of copper ore there
OF paying quality Is undoubted and
the news that It Is to be taken out
OF the earth and converted into a
product will be received
here with general satisfaction.

PRESBYTERIANS UNITE
IN ONE CHURCH

At an adjourned meeting of the
members of the Cumberland Presby-
terian church Wednesday night, held
for the purpose of determining whe-
ther the church organization should
be continued or whether its member
ship should be merged into the First
Presbyterian church, it was decided
by vote of forty-nine to twenty-three
to accept the proposition for union.
For several months the question of
maintaining a separate body as the
Second congregation or its union with
the First Presbyterian church has agi-
tated the adherents of the old Cum
berland Presbyterian organization. 1t
was weighty matter to settle and
they were in no haste to reach con-
clusion. meeting of its members
was held on the eyening of the Sth
inst. to solve the problem, but after
a discussion of the question in its
various phases it was thought best
to leave the matter open for two
weeks in order that all concerned
might have opportunity to consider
the step they were about to take. In
the meantime they had given much
careful thought to the matter and
when they assembled Wednesday ev-
ening it did not take long to cut the
Gordian knot
More than a month ago the official
board of the First Presbyterian church
was made aware of the problem which
the members of the old Cumberland
brotherhood were considering and ad-
dressed to them the following letter:
Canon City, Colo, Dec. 6, 1907.
10 the officers and members of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church,
Canon City, Colo.
Dear Fellow Presbyterians: For
many years we have labored in Canon
City to upbuild the cause of Jesus
Christ as two separate organizations.
Our relations have always been excep-
tionally cordial and pleasant. We
have regarded you as brethren. and
that concerned your material and
spiritual welfare, as we are sure you
have been in our own. We are pro-
foundly grateful that as the years
have come and gone the great de-
nominations, of which we each were
\ part, have grown closer and closer
together until year ago the last
trace of division was wiped out. To-
day we are thankful to the great
Head of the church that in the truest
sense of the word we are 'one." We
are advised by the Rev. A. w. Hen
derson, your honored pastor. and q
man for whom we have the profound
est respect, that he has definitely de-
cided to resign. and that in the near
future you will be compelled to make
other arrangements. We share with
you the feeling of sincere regret that
Is yours, that Mr.. Henderson must
give his time and talent to other
fields of labor-but knowing that he
does not reach hasty conclusions, and
being assured that his decision is
final and irreyocable, we turn with
you to the contemplation of the fu-
trre of the work of the great united
church which we represent in this
community.
We would not presume for one mo-
ment to make suggestions to you as
to your duty, but only in this letter
desire to state our own conclusions
and judgments. In the first place. we
feel that If we are tn have two Presby-

THE Girl Question"

Frank Adams and VIII Hough, the
authors of the book and lyrics Of The
Girl Question" the sensational must
cal comedy success Of the year in Chi
cago, are the authors of three of the
greatest theatrical successes Of the
past three years. though curiously
enough, they have never had a play
produced except at the LaSalle thea
ire, Chicago. Both were students at
the University Of Chicago theatre,
Chicago. Both were students at the
University of Chicago when they
wrote The Umpire" which ran 3O4
times at the LaSalle. The following
year they turned out The Time, the
Place and the Girl which ran 453
times at that theatre, and this year
they produced The Girl Question:
which has already passed the 25Oth
performance there, and whose gross
receipts up to date are slightly in ex-
cess of those of The Time, the Place
and the Girl" The road company, or
ganized by the Askin-Singer Com
pany, began its season on Christmas
Day, just as did its predecessor last
year, and comes here to the Gennett
on Thursday night with an all-star cast
of principals, headed by Paul Nichol-
son and Angevine Norton and a Choir

Vaudeville at the Phillips.

Selection of the Four SullivanS. sing
ers and dancers, as headliners on the
vaudeville bill at the New Phillips this
week was fortunate one as they have
proven in the two performances al
ready given that they are we'll suited
to refined vaudeville. Their singing
and dancing is Of d high grade and
free from anything that is in the least
suggestive or coarse, and in this re-
spect all the more pleasing TO the pa
irons. The -Four Sullivans are all
men. all about the same size. all dress
alike and look alike. Their dancing
is done with hard soled shoes. They
were enthusiastically recalled. Lew
SimOndS and company, a team appear
ing in black face have a pleasing
stunt, chiefly dialogue in which there
is opportunity for much that is of an
amusing nature. They sing and play
the banjo as well. A feature of the
eccentric comedy sketch put on by
Earl and Lee is the playing of the
harp by Miss Lee and the violin by
MI Earl NJ Williams. cowboy jug
