to the waters edge. But the
chickens lost out on their rations,
because the trout came out on the
bank and carried off the major
portion of the grain. To prevent
this. the farmer put in coarse
screen wire netting along the riv-
er bank. This kept out the large
trout. but the latter, growing wise,
sent in the smaller FISH through
the netting, and they brought out
the corn, with the result that the
farmer was obliged to change his
screen to a very fine mesh.
Ii was on this account that the
supply of corn-fed trout ran out
before the season was half over.
The Hon. James W. Kelley and
some of the other legal lighs of
the Press Club are looking into
the constitutional right of the
farmer TO erect close mesh screen
along the water front, and it is to
be hoped that this question will be
ajudicated in favor of the club
in time for the reopening OF the
camp May %. next year.-The

was asked about the season, and
he became very enthusiastic over

Questioned about the fishing, he
waxed warm over the Gunnison.
He said that at all times the fishing
was fine, and any novice could
bring in a mess in halt an hours

the season the camp was favored
with corn-fed trout. but this eXcep-

Strange Old Ruins are Un-
earthed While Man Is
Looking for Gold Mine

Galveston. Tex, Sept. 9.-An
ancient city has been dug up in
western Texas at Alpine. a small
town in Brewster county, showing
that an earthquake or some cata-
ciasm buried a city of quite
large population.
The discovery was made months
ago and the research pursued
quietly by an expedition which
set out to locate the famous old
rock cave spring gold mine, from
which, tradition has it, millions in
gold were taken out by the Span
iards with the crude methods of
early days.
The mine has been located and
active preparations are being
made to work 1t with modern ma
chinery.
A pool or well, located near the
site of the old mine. has attracted
historians. geologists and scientists
for years and is known to be
bottomless well.
1t is 81 feet in diameter and
sounding lines have been to a
depth of 5000 feet without find
ing bottom.
OF from the well and $50 fee,
under the gronud were found long
tunnels resembling streets lead
ing off in all directions. and the
ruins of stone buildings built in
shelvings of rocks. with many
chambers or rooms. :
Large pillars said to be petrihed
portions of trunks of huge trees
have been uncovered. Several
circular stone copings at consid-
cradle distance apart appear to be
underground cisterns or wells of
the ancient city and immense
caves showing the handiwork of
race other than savages have
been found and explored.

The latest addition to Paonia's

ton at your Uncle Peters jewelry
store. The cup was gwen by our
sister city Hotchkiss, as a prize
for the championship OF the
worlds amateur baseball Team
and that's US.
The series of FIVE games was
played between the business men
of Paonia and Hotchkiss COM
mencing july 4th and the last
was played Sept. IA. 1911.
There is no doubt but that the
Hotchkiss team can beat any
other aggregation-tn the entire
world outside of Paonia But
Paonia played the national game
SO fast and furious that only FIVE
games were necessary to satisfy
our Hotchkiss brethren of their
inferiority when pitted against
Paonia.

The Threatened Strikes

The threatene strike on the
Hartman lines is a most serious
matter-serious because of the i'm
mediate distress and loss that
would be inestimable. but if pos
sible more serious in the demands
made by the unions. When they
are carefullyanalyzed they amount
to this, "You must practically
place your business in our hands,
We are to be your dictators. You
must not discharge natural in

We are to dictate how many ap-
prentices you are to have; you

means of eliminating the knock
er, but only meansi the addition of
another knocker. The better way
is tor each one to be careful that
he is not a knocker himself and
we find that this takes some pret-
ty careful scutiny of ones self to
be sure of this fact.
A pretty good preventative and
cure of the knocking habit is a
compound made up of 80 per
cent optimism and 80 percent OF
willingness that the other fellow
should succeed as we'll as ones
self.
However, if the burning of a
symbolic hammer has the effect in
the least of discouraging the
knocking habit every town can
we'll afford to follow the example
of Pueblo and have public burn

Madero Nominated

Mexico is attracting much at
tention just now. Madero has
been nominated for President and
his acceptance speech was superb.
1t reads like the words of both an
honest and sagacious man. His
idea is to reduce Mexico to a
reign of law, but under the law to
secure to every man no matter
what his station, his just rights.
If he is strong enough to do
that and at the, same time lucky
enough to escape assassination
while working out his plans, he
will preform such service for his
country as no other man ever has.
He will have with him the utmost
good will of the United States. for
this countay wants no complica-
tions with Mexico.
We have plenty of trouble of
our own without acting as a quasi
guardian OF sister republic. Our
greeting to Madero is: go on
and prosper. ."-Goodwins Weekly.

Of Birmingham, one of the British

selves to the usa of the X rays in sur

x rays and the important part they
played lin surgery. Speaking of other
uses of the Y rays except in medicine,
he said he only knew of one and that
was for the discovery of pearls. In
stead Of destroying the oyster to ascer-
tain If it contains pearls, he declared
that the. rays might be used. to show
whether. the oyster contained a pearl,
and IL nothing were discovered the
oyster might be put back into the sea
so as to continue to grow--Consul AL
