TRAIL TO TEMPLE CANON
NOW OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

The trail from the 1eadville road
to Temple canon was completed on
Tuesday and is now open to the pub
lie. 1t is, perhaps, mile long and
is an exceedingly picturesque bit Of
roadway. The opening of the trail
will render Temple canon easily ac-
cessible to picnic parties and will no
doubt make it popular resort for
pleasure parties during the coming
summer.
The trail is a serpentine one. wind
ing its way down the mountains to
Grape creek, which has to be crossed
to get to Temple canon, having at no
place a grade of more than twelve
or fifteen per cent Temple canon,
hitherto almost impossible to all, ex-
cept the most hardy and athletic. is
now within easy reach of all, thanks
to the Civic Improvement league COM
mittee of the Merchants association
and to the convict labor of the peniten-
tiary.

SPLENDID MUSICAL PROGRAM
PRESENTED THURSDAY NIGHT

The people of Canon City have had
an opportunity of hearing great
many concerts and cantatas during
the last two or three years, all of
them of a more or less meritorious
character, but ii is safe to say that
none were quite so pleasing as the
pastoral cantata, Cupid in Already"
given under the direction of Mrs. J.
B. Hunley at the Christian church
Thursday night.
Mrs. Hunley was assisted in. the
rendition of the program by some of
the best musical talent in the city,
including such favorites as Professor
and Mrs l.. d. Eichhon, Professor
Turner, Miss Edythe James, Mr..
Bauer, Mr.. Mcmillan, Miss Grace Dale
and Miss Eula Whitmore. The audi
ence was thoroughly sympathetic
one; no applause being necessary to
convey to those who took part in the
program, its appreciation of the good
things provided for its entertainment
The patronage was large, but none too
generous for the splendid feast 1t
gave, indeed, no assemblage could be
too great, or patronage too liberal, for
so excellent and artistic produc-
ton 1t evoked spontaneous and de-
served applause, which is the highest
tribute of admiration an audience can
pay to its entertainers.
Already a number of urgent re-
quests have been made to Mrs. Hun
ley to have the cantata repeated here
at no distant date. and it is proba-
BILE that they will be acceded to In the
course of week or ten days. There
has been some talk Of taking the en-
tertainment to Florence and II sucn
should be the case. we can assure the
music loving people Of our neighbor'
ing city that they have splendid
treat In store.

ANNIvERSAKY
CELEBRATED BY DINNER

| lnufS0ay was tne IStu UiTluudy du-
niversary OF T. ]. Payne. and the event
was celebrated with an elaborate din
ner at the hom, Of his youngest
daughter, Mrs. Frank d. Heath, 1117
Macon avenue, at which covers were
fla:d for half a score OF guests. among
whom was Superintendent Prentiss
of the Ajax Mining company, at Vic
tor. A feature OF the dinner table
was superb birthday cake with 7s
lighted candles, one for each OF the
recurrent anniversaries of the guest
of honor.
Mr.. Payne is of Kentucky ancestry,
but was born at Georgetown, Ohio. He
spent his boyhood at Maysville. KY,
leaving there when II years of age
for Clay county, Mo, where he re-
sided until 1855 when he went to
Atchison county, Kansas, which was
at that time under territorial govern
ment.
Mr.. Payne lived in Kansas during
the border warfare which preceded
the outbreak of the Rebellion. Mr..
Payne was Jayhawker OF Jayhawk-
ers, and when the war broke out he
enlisted as private In company F,
of the Thirteenth Kansas in which he
served for some time. being later ap-
pointed to a captaincy. in the seventy
ninth United States volunteers, col
ored regiment, in which capacity he
remained until the close Of hosttli-
ties in 1865.
Captain Payne was an actor in the
stirring scenes which characterized
the war along the Missouri river and
their recitxl is more like romance
than fact. He was under fire twenty
six times, but came out of them all
unharmed.
He was the first justice Of the peace
in Atchfson county, having received
commission from Governor Shan
non bearing the stamp Of the terri
torial seal and the date Of March b.
1856.
He filled similar position IN
Brown county. Kansas, for more than
a quarter OF century and at one time
was personally acquainted with near

dividends from mining and metallurgy
continue generous and there is a
steady increase in the number OF con-
Germs which have paid back the face
value of their capital stock.
In many Instances. such as the Port

district, the face value OF the stock is
four times the value of the money ac-
tually invested. as nearly all OF the

The Portland is capitalized at 3d.

take note of-it has paid one quarterly
dividend this year OF 100000 and re-
turned a total of $7,747,oS0 to its
shareholders.
Yet the present quotation on Port
land is about 31.05, with ore enough in
sight to more than equal the face
value of the shares.
Despite prevalent low prices for sill
yer, lead, copper. zinc-low when COM
pared with the exceptional high prices
OF 1sO7-there are now thirty three
mines and metallurgical establish
ments on the dividend list This does
not include leasers or the close cor
porations. MAJ
To properly represent these classes
1t would be safe to add so per cent OF
the known dividends to the total of
the latter. For the first two months

nous sum OF 3253.174.2Os In dividends.
or 81 per cent Of their issued capital.
