sumed its former activity.

To Omen EalrplaY Lands.

Washington.-As a result of an in
vestigation by the forest service at the
request of Senator Guggenheim, 1t is
believed a large area in the vicinity
of Fairplay will soon be released from
the Leadville national forest. Some
time ago Senator Guggenheim took
the matter up with the forest service,
which ordered an examination of the
lands with view to their elimina-
ton from the reserve. The senator
has private advices that the examina-
ton has been completed and the re-
port, which is believed to be favor
able, is en- route to Washington. The
result of the elimination of this area
would be to open new mining field
in Colorado, for many years practically
denied to prospectors because of its
Incorporation in the forest reserve.
Colorado postal savings banks desig-
mated today are Burlington, Steamboat
Springs, Magnolia, Hayden and Craig.

Mother Kills Children and Self.

Canon City.-While temporarily in
sane, Mrs. T. w. Garrett shot and
killed her six-year-old son and her four
year-old daughter Juanita, and then
turned the weapon upon herself, put
ting a bullet through her heart. Her
husband, returning half hour later,
found all three dead upon the floor.
Neighbors had heard the shots, but
had not tried to learn their origin.
They had seen Mrs. Garrett drag her
son from the back yard into the house
and few minutes later three shots
were heard.

Goa, Production Decreases.

The reports of State Coal Mine In
spector James Dalrymple show that
there was a decrease of 1,454,G32 in
the number of tons OF coal produced
during the first six months of 1911,
as compared with the first six months
of 1910. On account of this falling off
in production it is believed that prices
of coal will advance rapidly with the
first cold spell. The number of men
employed during the period was 1900,
as compared with 14.76S for 1910.
The Colorado statesman., 1911-09-23
PRESBYTERIAN Church Splits.

Denver.-The threatened breach be-
tween the Presbytery of Denver and
the Union Presbyterian church, which
has existed for a year or more, cul-
minated when at a meeting of the ju-
dicatory body the church formally
withdrew from the Presbytery. Both
the Presbytery and the church are
adamant in their stands and bitter
controversy which may effect the
whole Presbyterian organization in
this city is feared.

Grand Junction.-R. V. Smith, who
Is charged with swindling Denver
