MANY NEW PEOPLE
COMING TO CANON

A great many new people have
come to Canon City to make their
home during the last two or three
months and not for long time has
there been so few vacant houses in
town as there are at present. This
increased population is indicated in
many ways. notably in the larger
volume OF mail coming TO the postof-
fice and in the heavier burdens i'm
posed on the letter and rural route
carriers in consequence. The pres
ence OF new families in the commun-
ity Is also apparent to business firms
about town and sales Of merchandise
OF nearly all kinds have grown as
result
Practically all of the houses in
Hardings addition. a large number
OF which have been unoccupied for
long period. are now tensnted By
people who have moved here since
the beginning of the year. South

have also been benefited by the in

rle are from many states. although
Kansas. Missouri. Iowa and Illinois

eastern states. Last week Mr.. Nc
Quown helped establish a dozen new
families in the community and the
week before he made a similar rec
ord in that respect. Other teamsters
and transfer firms have also had their
share OF the business.
The hotel registers show that a
larger number OF travelling men and
visitors are coming to Canon City at
present than for many months past
and the indications are that this
movement will increase as the sea
son advances.
I, is gratifying TO note that very
few families are leaving Canon City
TO make their home elsewhere.
With an unusually encouraging out
look for a big crop OF fruits and ber-
ries this year and the improved In.
dustrial conditions prevailing In this
section Of the state. there is reason
to believe that Canon City has enter
ed upon new era OF growth and
prosperity.

A HEAVILY
MINERALIzED
TERRITORY

City Engineer Ben X. Curtis and
Bob Bunten returned home Thursday
afternoon from the Oak Creek min
ing district, where they spent several
days in making surveys and studying
geological conditions in the new
camp.
Mr. Curtis says that he never saw
anywhere else as heavily a mineral
lied belt as that which exists in the
Oak Greek territory, nor one in which
so many different kinds OF metals
are found The territory is very ex-
tensive and mineral-bearing leads are
everywhere in evidence some Of them
from six TO ten feet in width and of
indeterminate length.
According to Mr.. Curtis traces OF
all of the minerals described in the
books, as well as some that seem to
be unknown to biologists. are to be
found either in a distinct individual
form or in combination with some
thing else. in the Oak Greek dis
trict. Gold. silver. lead. zinc, tin and
half a dozen other metals have been
- uncovered there during the last few
weeks. to say nothing OF pitchblende.
uranium, vanadium and other radi-
rm-bearing ores.
While INST OF the rock thus far ex-
posed by the miners pick is OF COM
paratively low grade. some of It con-
tains values sufficient to warrant the
working of the veins from which II
is taken. The general trend OF the ore
leads is from the northwest to the
southeast and some OF them are
traceable for miles.
People from most of the mining
states OF the west have visited the
Oak Creek region during the last few
weeks, among them many old-time
prospectors. and they all agree that
one would have to travel far to find
district where the naturalization
of the rock was as general as is the
case there. Already a large number
OF claims have been staked and are
being entered at the land office In
accordance with the Law. Twelve or
fifteen men are engaged in mining

as the snow melts and the weather

Somewhere in the neighborhood Of
$50 fruitless ballots we're taken on
the election of chairman The Vot-
ing finally grew so monotonous that
no one took the trouble to keep ac-
curate account The final ballot re
suited as did the last ballot at the
previous monthly meeting, when the
reorganization was first attempted
FaiE 6, Pace 4 and Nernoy 3
Carlos Mason's forces stood solidly
behind Fain. The six men never once
WaVered-Baskin, Fain, Smith, john
son, King and Dickson.
The only important change in the
situation was a marked display Of
friendliness toward the Woodward
faction by Commissioner Vernoy.
Vernoy had voted consistently for
himself through 165 ballots at the last
meeting In last nights session he
voted equally as consistently for Pace,
while Pace who, too, had voted for
himself in the previous battle threw
his vote to Vernoy. This was taken
to mean that the seventh vote nee
essary to elect Fain will not come
from Vernoy, or from Garner, who
has stood faithfully by Vernoy in his
third place in the race.
Mayor Blocks Coup.
The switch of Nernoy's vote from
himself made the Pace lineup: Yer
noy. Colcord, Clark and Mayor Wood
ward
A little coup was attempted at the
opening OF the meeting, but the ar
rival of Mayor Wood ward upset It.
The meeting was scheduled for Z: 80
o'clock. and at that hour all OF the
Comml ssioners but the Mayor and
Commissioner Colcord were present.
Five minutes passed without their ar
rival. and then Mr.. Smith moved that
Mr.. Johnson be chosen temporary
chairman and that the session pro-
coed. This carried, and Mr.. Johnson
took his place at the head Of the
table Just as he did so in walked
the Mayor Mr., Johnson then Va
Gated.
That a formal protest Of last
nights meeting will be made by the
Fain faction was the talk Wedrbs-
dav. but no definite plans have been
announced 1t is expected that a
written opinion WI be asked OF the
CITY Attorney setting out in detail his
ideas as to the ilegality of the ses-
sion.
