MEN ENCOUNTER LARGE
MOUNTAIN LION

Joseph Slater came In this week
from Scranton, where he has Just
completed a fifty-foot extension on the
20O-foot tunnel for the Scranton Ex-
tension Mining company, owned by
Lehi people. The property is looking
more promising than ever, the men
having just broken into what appears
TO be the long sought for vein.
While going to work one day the
men came face to face with an inn
mense mountain lion, that evidently
had been occupying the tunnel. They
each prepared to use some drills, their
only weapons OF defense, when the
animal turned and quietly walked
away II was less than thirty feet
from the men. Needless TO say the
men carried rifles for several days
after the experience, but they did not
get an opportunity to use them.

That the general trade conditions
throughout Colorado are improving is
evidenced by the increasing volume
OF freight handled by the various rail-
road lines and their growing receipts
from passenger traffic The various
hotel registers In Canon City show
that larker number OF people have
been coming to town during the last
few weeks than during any corre-
spending period for long time. All Of
the local hotels are doing n gratifying
business. There are more commercial
men on the road at present than NJ
any time since the beginning OF the
winter months and all OF them report
more or less satisfactory saIds Of
merchandise. A good many strangers
are also coming In TO make inquiries
for land with view OF making invest
ments in property.
The Indications are that Canon City
has entered upon one OF the best years
in the recent history OF the commun-
ity.
