L. W. Felter delivered a most inter

Holy Land at the Christian church
last Sunday morning; taking the
place of the regular sermon Mr..
Felter's discourse was largely histori-

personal observations made during
two visits to Palestine and Syria. In
addition to being a close student Of
the Bible and of the earthly life of
the Redeemer the lecturer is a close
observer of things and saw much in

abtiste OF the Catholic convent at
Condor, Oregon, an aunt of Pheland's,
and kilograms have been addressed to
her asking for particulars in relation
to his friends and antecedents.
From data taken from his pockets
II is learned that Pheland had recent
~ visited Seattle, Portland, San
Francisco, and Salt Lake City: leaving
the latter for Pueblo and Denver on
the 9th inst. He had evidently fallen
from the train and had been run over
by the wheels. His head was crush
ed into an unacceptable mass with
his brains oozing out through his
fractured skull. His left leg and left
arm were cut off. his right leg man
gied and broken and his spinal
column lislocated. Interment will
probably take place here after the de-

The following Is a very interesting
talk on the Buying at Home subject
from the Canon Times.
Nearly every week the Canon City
newspapers print articles advising
the public to buy from the home mer-
chant. Recently the Times printed
nearly a full page of matter calcula-
ted to discourage buying from cata-
louge houses. and on Friday of last
week the Record devoted nearly two
columns OF frontpage space to BOOM
ing home productions and urging Its
readers to buy them in preference to
all others. The Cannon has been
equally as devoted to the interests OF
the home merchant and producer. All
the boosting is done by the local
newspapers without money and with
out price. That such . policy on the
part OF the press wields an enormous
Influence goes without saying. But
do the merchants and business men
value these efforts In their behalf. or
do they reciprocate whenever the op-
portunity affords?

A. H. Davis and Doc Coleman spent
the greater part OF last week In max
Ing a trip to some mining property
owned by Mr.. Coleman and Dave Co
wan near the summit OF Crestoue
mountain. some twelve or fifteen
miles southwest of Silver Cliffe. Mr..
Davis says there Is thousands OF tons
OF highly mineralixed rock on the sur
face and he expresses the opinion that
the claim OF Messrs. Coleman and Co
wan is one of great value. although.
its development will require = lot
OF money. The lode Is above timber
line and almost inaccessible at the
present time owing to the lack OF any
thing like road or trail. 1t Is a
mile and half north Of Horns Peak
and within a short distance from
Bear Lake. the latter place being an
ideal site for mill. Mr.. Davis
brought back with him specimens OF
surface ore that he Is confident will
assay thirty dollars to the ton, an In
dication OF a mineral body OF mar
vellous richness at a depth OF two
or three hundred feet.
