Worlds lin Supply.

The latest and most authentic statis-
tics on the subject show that three
quarters OF all the tin used in the
world comes from southeastern Asia.
The total production annually amounts
to something over $4,000 tons.
Although the output Increases every
year the supply is still insufficient for
the demand The United States is the
greatest tin using nation in the world.
1t consumes over rs per cent. of the
entire supply, although contributing
little to it. A tin mine was opened in
South Carolina four or five years ago,
and there are said to be deposits in
North Carolina, South Dakota and Wy
oming Next to the United States.
Great Britain is the greatest cor
sumner. 1t takes 80 per cent. of tn
entire supply.

Strange Death.

of a man in southwestern city who
died as the result of hsving trumped

temporaries, who is more sophisti-
Gated in these matters than we are,
commenting upon the incident, re-
marks that there is only one thing
that is more positively fatal than
trumping your partners ace, and that
is tickling the hind legs of a mule.
So far we are able to learn, careful
and complete prophylaxis is the only

Announces Water IS 6oiIed.

A tea kettle that whistles cheerily
to let the housewife know that the
water Is boiling and that the gas may
be turned down has been introduced in
England and is meeting with favor
The kettle has no lid through which
the scalding steam may issue, but Is
filed and emptied through the spout
which is sufficiently large. The abb
sence of the lid not only prevents
scalding but keeps any of the steam
from escaping, which means that the
water will reach a boiling point much
more quickly than In the ordinary
ket--e. In the spout is a stopper which
contains the whistle, and this is the
safety valve of the kettle as well as
the means by which announcement is
made that the water is boiling.

EAST CANuN WILL HAVE A
FINE new SCHOOL BUILDING

AT the regular meeting of the Board
of Education yesterday morning at the
office of DR.. Carrier the matter of the
erection of a modern and well equip
ped school building for East Canon
was again taken up and more definite
steps taken towards its erection.
The committee appointed at the last
regular meeting early in January to
obtain options on a site for the new
building and to submit preliminary
plans for the building, made its report.
Options have been secured on two To-
cations. either of which is desirable,
and he board this morning made a
trip to East Canon to inspect the pro-
posed locations.
While the exact plans of the build
ing have not been agreed upon it has
been practically decided to construct
a four-room building with basement,
the rooms all being on the ground
floor. and The building so constructed
that additional rooms could be added
without destroying the architectural
beauty of the structure. 1t is pro-
posed to have the new building ready

4. S. MADDOX HAS RESIGNED
POSITION AS LOCAL AGENT
OF DENVER & RIO GRANDE

H. S. Maddox has placed his resig-
nation as local agent of the Denver &
Rio Grande Railroad company in the
hands of Division Superintendent
Luke with the request that it take eff
feet March first. For personal reasons
Mr.. Maddox desired to prevent the
fact of his intended retirement from
the company's service becoming
known at this time, but the matter
leaked out day or two ago in Denver
and Pueblo and when interrogated on
the subject this morning he acknowl-
edged the truth of the report. Mr.. Mad
dox has not definitely decided in what
line of business he will engage, but
the readers of the Daily Record will
be pleased to know that he will re-
main in Canon City, probably, taking
up some other line of employment less
orerous and exacting than the rail-
road service. Mr. Maddox has been in
charge of the Denver and Rio Grande
company's affairs here for four or
five years and it is no disparagment to
his predecessors to say that he has
been the most efficient and popular
man that has ever filled that office.

ELECTRICITY WILL Be
INSTALLED IN NORTHERN
COLORADO COAL MINES

Denver. Feb. 15.-The Northern Col
orado Power company has entered n
new field Of activity. and is now max
ing contracts to supply current TO the
coal mines in the northern Colorado
districts so that these mines may do
away with all steam power and the
fires necessary to generate ii and op-
crate both shaft and tunnel coal
mines by electricity.
In the shaft mines the electric pow
er will be utilized in operating the
hoists and for all other purposes
where steam is now employed, and In
the tunnel mines the current will op-
crate the engines which manipulate
the tail ropes which haul the loaded
cars out of the tunnel.
The idea of the management of
these mines in employing electricity
in place OF steam is to minimize the
danger around the properties from
the coal fires necessary to create the
steam. 1t is also stated that the mines
can purchase power from the North
ern cheaper than they can burn their
own coal and make steam.

SHAFFER DAM PROGRESSES,
PRICE OF LAND is RAISED

Florence, Feb. 14.-During the past
few weeks the Fox and Smith Con-
struction company has increased its
force of men on the Shaeffer lam un-
der construction by the Beaver Land
& Irrigation company at Beaver Park.
from so to $50 men and the work is
being pushed rapidly. 1t is estimated
that the dam will be sufficiently high
in April to store at least 500 acre feet
of water and the entire work will be
completed by the middle of June.
Daily measurements of the flow Of
Beaver creek from September /. 1909.
to January 81, 1910. show that during
that period the stream flowed $1,000
acre feet of water, sufficient to fill the
Shaeffer reservoir two and one-half
times.
Yesterday the Beaver Land and Ir-
rigatlon company raised the price OF
land on Beaver Park from s175 to
$500 per acre.

Prompt, energetic diplomatic and
obliging Mr.. Maddox has been a good
man for the company and good man
for the public at large. He possesses
the characteristics that especially fit
him for the railroad service, and, were
there more like him, there would be
fewer controversies between the rail-
road companies and their patrons.
Mr.. Maddox leaves the employ OF
the Denver and Rio Grande company
with the good will and respect of all
of its officials, although it is with
great reluctance that they part with
his services. If, at any time in the fu-
ture, he desires to be reinstated in the
company's employ there is little doubt
that he would secure favorable con-
sideration for his application. The pri-
mary reason prompting Mr.. Maddox's
resignation is the desire to obtain a
long and well-earned rest in order to
recoup his exhausted energies. His

tinue to make his home in this COM

home up in the Royal Gorge near the
intake of the waterworks system. This
will be the home of the care-taker of
that part of the system.

shack out of common rough boards. 1t
was later decided to build better
house, perhaps a common little square
white cottage, like the style we have
so many of in the cheaper parts of

Nobody wants to make the water
system cost any more than is neces-

that if it is necessary to have such
home in the Royal Gorge, that some
taste should be used in the building.
