Col. D. A. Burgess writing to the
Pueblo Star-Journal from westcline
under date or January 10th. has the
following TO say about the mining out
look in Custer county:
This section and close about
Querida and Rosita is giving evidence
of wise capital investment in many
gold and silver prospects. The Amer
ican Flag. opposite the Bassick and
owned by G. Fleischer Of Pueblo. has
shipped many thousand dollars in
gold and silver in the past. The main
working shaft Is down 200 feet with
many drifts and levels penetrating
large bodies OF sulphide ores.
All of the workings have been clean
ed out and put in condition for re-
newed activity by contract with
Frank Lawson of Querida. Lawson
has also executed a iiye-year bond
rich silver property close to Querida
to Judge Eldred and associates of
Canon City. who are now pushing de-
velopment of the property. Two dis
tinct veins have been opened up in
the Sunrise. which is in the old Gus
ter townsite. one of them carrying a
six-inch pay streak of 100 ounces sill.

R. C. STEVENS WON PRIZES
AT DENVER STOCK SHOW

r. c. Stevens of the county farm
returned to Canon City Wednesday
night from Denver where he went the
first of the week to make display
of Dark Cornish Game chickens at
the poultry exhibit held in connec-
ton with the National Western Stock
show. Mr.. Stevens had the finest
fowls of their class on exhibition and
the strongest competition the state
could furnish. He was awarded first
premium on cockerel; first on pullet;
second on pullet; third and fourth on
hens and first on cock. The two
strongest competitors he had to meet
were far less successful; one of them
securing six premiums on twelve en-
tries and the other one premium on
four entries.
Mr. Stevens was one of the first of
the Canon City contingent of visitors
to return home from the stock show.
He says that Denver has not often
entertained such crowds as it is do
ing this week. The stock show, ac-
cording TO Mr. Stevens. is the best
ever held west of the Missouri river.
The value of the horses, cattle, sheep,
pigs and other livestock on exhibi-
ton, he says. aggregate hundreds of
thousands of dollars.

S. A. VAN BUSKIRK, FORMER
RESIDENT, VISITING IN CANON

S. A. Van Buskirk, for many years
a resident of this city, but at present
living in MonteZuma county, Colorado,
arrived here. Wednesday night on a
short business and pleasure trip.
Mr. Van Buskirk has been engaged in
ranching nine miles southwest of
Cortez for the last two years and is
making his first visit here since his
departure in 1914. The simple life"
seems to agree with him and lie is
enjoying better health at present
than at any time for decade. Mr..
Van Buskirks ranch extends TO the
borders of the Ute Indian reservation
and is within comparatively short
park.
1t may be interesting in connec-
ton with Mr.. Van Buskirk's visit
here to know that he was the first
man to suggest the construction of a
public highway along the crest of
the Hoeback and that he gave it the
name, Skyline drive" The advisa-
bility of building scenic roadway
along the top of the Hogback as a
means of attracting tourists 10 Canon
City occurred to Mr.. Van Buskirk
long before anybody had thought of
il and he laid the matter before the
Business Mems association and urg-
ed its construction with prison labor
The proposition at first met with
some opposition on account of the
imagined expensiveness of the un-
dertaking, but he explained that it
could be done with convict labor
the project was finally taken up and
carried into execution.
Mr. Van Buskirk was commissioned
to procure the right of way for the
proposed drive and secured deeds to
the necessary land from private own
ers wherever necessary and had them
filed in the office of the county clerk.
He had the words, Skyline drive"
inserted in the deeds as a name for
the roadway. He helped survey the
route of the contemplated highway
and had much to do with the work
of its construction. Mr.. Van Buskirk
named the high point on the road
Mount Cleghorn" in honor of War
den John Cleghorn of the penitenti-
airy. who furnished the men 10 con-
struct the highway.
1t is matter of history. altho un-
known to many people, that the Sky
line drive was the first piece of pub
lie highway ever built in Colorado. or
any other western state for that mat
ter, by convict labor. In fact, it may
be stated that the great movement
for building public roads with prison
labor. which now extends to nearly
all parts of the United States. had its
beginning with the construction of
the Skyline drive.

THE SCHWEIGERTS TO
REMOVE TO DENVER

Judge J. G. Schweigert returned to
Canon City Thursday night from Den
yer where he has been the greater
part of the current week looking after
som professional matters, and, Incl
dentany attending the stock show. 1t
will be matter of surprise and re
gret to the public to know that Judge
and Mrs. Schweigert and family
have decided to remove to Den
yer to make their home and that they
expect to leave her early in Febru-
airy. Judge Schweigert will engage
in the practice of law in Denver. but
will retain an office in Canon City in
order TO take care as far as possible
of his clientele here. Judge and Mrs.
Schweigert and family are excellent
people and on their departure for their
new home will carry with them the
best wishes of the community for
their happiness and prosperity. The
regret of their friends over their re-
moval to Denver is shared to some
extent at least, by Judge and Mrs.
Schweigert and family who have form
ed attachments here that they find
1t hard 10 break. They have rented
residence property in Denver which
will shortly be ready for their occu-'
pancy.
