CAPT. HALTER REPORTS
STRIKE IN COPPER KING

Capt A. J. Halter, the mining
magnate, came down from Copper
field bringing with him some fine
specimens of copper ore taken from
the shaft of the Copper Prince prop.
erty at depth of sixty feet from the
surface. While at work in the
Copper Prince Wednesday night,
miners set off blast of giant powder
that broke into the ore chute, reveal.
ing an immense quantity of mineral
Of unexpected richness.
The miners were so enthusiastic
over the matter that they went in a
body to Mr.. Halter the following
morning and requested him to issue
to them stock in the company to
the value Of one e-third their wages,
which he very generously agreed to
do. The extent of the ore chute or
treasure vault, as you would term
it, has not been ascertained, but it
is known to be very large one-in
fact believed to be the greatest un-
covered in Colorado.
Mr.. Halter says the Copper Prince
gives promise of becoming the big
gest producer in the United States,
surprising the famous Hecla mine of
the Lake Superior region the pre-
mier Of all copper properties. Mr.
Halter, who owns practically all of
the stock Of the Copper Prince com.
pany says that If the mine shows
up as we'll as it is believed it will it
is worth millions of dollars. AS soon
AS the necessary arrangements can be
made large force of men will be
put to work to develop the property
The big discovery in the Copper
Prince is an impeachment of the pre-
vailing opinion among mining men
that there is no really valuable
copper ore in Colorado. The samples
brought down by Mr.. Halter from
Copperfield will run from forty to
sixty per cent in mineral. He will
return to the mine accompanied by
several friends, among them being
couple Of capitalists from Buffalo
New York.

ing men for the army that the for.
mer records are increased 800 per cent.
At no time since the war has the rush
to recruiting station been SO great and
while only small percentage oi
those applying for enlistments are
accepted. the officers in charge Of the
stations declare that 1t will be pos
sible to accept twice the number Of
men now enlisted If some of the minor
defects were overlooked. The ma
jority of the men who are entering the
army after weeks of unemployment
include former cashiers, clerks and

native to arid regions, have been

APPLE TREES WILL
GERMINATE BIG CROP

Unless another disastrous frost
visits this section in the early spring.
Fremont county should produce the
heaviest yield of apples in 1908 that
has ever been gathered. There was
no yield last year and the trees are
strong and should germinate heavy.
The growers are looking forward to
the spring season with marked de-
gree of pride. They can see dollars
growing on the branches; apples
were certainly dollars this year, and
those Colorado growers who were
fortunate enough to have part of
crop profited heavily.
1t is not thought probable that
another killing freeze will visit this
section late enough to injure the
fruit. Florence has had considerable
cold weather this year, as much
probably as ordinarily, but there
has been less snow than usual. Next
month and March are the months
when most of the snow falls in this
locality and one or two good freezes
then would have tendency Of hold
ing the buds from bursting into bios

The University faculty entertained
the students Saturday evening at the
annual Halloween party. On ar
irving the male guests were directed
to Memorial Hall where they drew
claims in the form of girls, after
which they witnessed ''spooks" in
the athletic field and various places
around the campus. On entering the
college hall they went from one room
to another in each of which they
had a chance to indulge in the mys-
tic rites and ceremonies of Hal

serving of refreshments and music
and ghost stories in the chapel.
Throughout the evening there was
just enough illusion to make every
thing seem uncanny so that there
was no lack of a good time for all

dents we're present but due to the ex-
cellent management everything pass
