WHERE GOLD ORE ABOUNDS
untold Wealth in Minerals Hidden in
Plains and Mountains Of
Colorado.

Untold wealth in gold, silver and
copper lies hidden in the plains and
mountains OF Colorado. awaiting only
discovery by the prospector," said
John A. Heron, wealthy miner of
Denver. 81 make this assertion on
the authority of mining experts and
engineers who have gone over nearly
every foot of territory In the state.
one old miner of Colorado recently
declared that the San Iaan country
In Colorado is so full of n:i"crals that
to tell Of it would sound like 4 fairy
tale. He declared that he discovered
the riches Of that section 50 long ago
as 1860. but that it has never been
touched because the region where ore
apounds is almost inaccessible. When
II becomes possible to develop the
mines of San Juan. | believe it will
be found to be the best mineral field
in Colorado.
lhls statement may seem incon-
sistent with the recent figures OF the
census bureau In Washington, which
show that the last eight years the
number of men employed in mining,
milling and smelling in Colorado has
been cut almost in half. In 1902 these
industries had more than $4,000 men
on the pay rolls, but in 1910 the num-
ber had been reduced to less than
10000.
Il believe that the time is not far
distant when there will be Il revival
of the great mining boom which years
ago induced thousands of persons to
hock to Colorado in search of wealth.
skilled miners and scientific engineers
and geologists agree that hundreds OF
miles of the mountains of Colorado
arc minerallzed. Quantities OF gold
are awaiting those who will search
for it,"

Unite the Two Towns
BY4 RESIDENT OF JoU7H CANON
Sec a Series

lated as Canon City and South Canon
are, we should be one in thought and
deedand purpose.
But two separate organizations al
ways create the spirit of envy. jeal-
ousy, prejudice and ridicule-the
most baneful enemies and most hate
full foes to progress and happiness.
The union of the two towns would
do away with all these and create in
the rising generation a spirit of 10y
atty and fidelity to Canon City that
would go far in making it the ideal
little city of the West.
1t appears to me that in this union
South Canon would have every thing
to gain and nothing to lose. We cer-
tainly couldn't get into worse state
than we are now. We would bring
to the city of Canon a valuation of
100000 and give it an additional
population of 1900.
We would always have the advant-
age when it come to voting, because
we would have one-fourth of the vot-
ing population and one-eighth of the
property valuation.
The union of the two towns would
give the people of South Canon an
opportunity to organize improvement
districts and thereby bring our town
up to the condition of Canon City
proper. 1t would give our citizens
and opportunity to get hydrant wat
erin short, 1t would give US all the
rights and privileges of citizens of a
city of seven thousand. My dear
neighbor of the South Side. wouldn't
it be better than the way it is. if it

ANNIE BRUCE TO Be
RELEASED FROM PRISON

Parole papers have been received
by Warden lyman from the governor
of wyoming ordering the release
from prison of Annie Bruce, who has
been incarcerated here since October
7. 1909 on account of the lack of ac-
commodation for female convicts at
the wyoming state penitentiary at
Rawlins.
In many respects Miss Bruce has
been a remarkable prisoner. She was
sentenced to a term of four years in
the wyoming penitentiary for man
slaughter, being charged with poison
ing her father, James H. Bruce, by
putting strychnine in some pies at
their home near Smoot, Uinta, Wyom-
ing.
The girl has always maintained her
innocence of the crime and in this
she has been supported by large
number of people.
She says that her father put the
poison in some fruit with which he
intended to kill some rats and that
by mistake she used the fruit in max
ing the pies. The evidence against
the girl was purely circumstantial,
yet she was found guilty and taken
out of the public schools and sent to
prison. She has been a favorite in
the woman's ward at the prison here.
Her conduct has been exemplary and
both Captain Blake and Warden Tyn-
an believe the girl could not have
been guilty of the crime with which
she is charged.
She is a nice looking girl, neat of
appearance, with hazel eyes and dark
brown hair. For some time she has
had charge of the dining room of the
woman's ward at the penitentiary.
She also does beautiful needle work;
not only making her own clothes. but
also doing exquisite drawn work and
embroidery. She will be released
next Wednesday and will return to
her former home in Wyoming where
her mother, two sisters and three
brothers are said to be anxiously
awaiting her return.
