Gunuison this week.

There were money orders issued at the
post ol~oe in Center during the month
of October to the amount of $1,084.65.
This shows what business is carried on
in a little inland post office like tnis.
J. L. Hurt returned from the Gunni-
son country last week with cattle. With
his sow punchers, Mr. Hurt arrived at
the Biede]l ranch with 1,000 head, after
having shipped about 400 head to Pu-
eblo. It was quite cold crossing the
range but they say it only snowed about
two inches where they were. Mr. Hurt
will place most of his cattle on stubble
fields hers in the valley for the winter.
A Deserted Mining Camp.
In the last issue of the Gunnison Tri-
buns we notice the following regardin~
the town of Chance, which is just over
the line in Ounnison county from Iris.
Many of our people will remember the
camp in its boom days some five or six
~,ears ago, and several of them helped to
build the town, residing there and pros-
peoted and mined iu that vicinity:
"With this week the post office at
0hanee will be only a remembrance.
John Weir, who has been acting in the
c~pacity of postmaster, and in fact the
only citizen of the place, announces that
his doqrs are to close. He will remove
to Irlsand relieve E~ E Elliott. Uncle
Sam's representative there, who also
runs a store in connection with the post-
OffiOo. Mr. ElIiott says Iris ie not liv,dy
enough:for him and he will movotoLako
City. The passing of Chance recalls the
activity of that camp only five years ago
when tha Lucky Strike and Only Chance
were pouring out their wealth of gold
bullion. ~he little town was very lively
and an excellent future was predicted for
It. But like many other mining camps,
theyare made aud deserted in a day.
Chance was unfortunate, because almost
Bince its two mines were discovered they
have been mixed up in litigation and the
uwners, it is said, becoming discouraged
have closed them both indefinitely. Thus
must Chance suffer on account of strife
and dissension, yet she will live again
mama day in the not distant future."
SAGUACHE, COLORADO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1901.
WHOLE NUMBER 1086.
We Ting Fang, the Chinese minister
at Washington, has been recalled by his
government. It seems that he was be-
coming too familiar with our people to
suit the rulers of his country.
The extensive mercantile firm of H.
Shifter & Bro. of the San Luis valley
shipped 5,000 lambs to the river market
last week. There was no especial call
for them at home and they had to be
railroaded, as the Shifters are not ranch- '
men and acquired the stock over the
cou[~tor.--Field and Farm.
The British government has leased a
farm at Lathrop, Kansas, as preparatory
headquarters for horses to 1~ exported to
South Africa. From 200 to 500 animals
are assembled at these quarters and go
through the process of inoculation before
shipment to New Orleans, from which
port they embark for Cape Town. The
vaccination is supposed to develop any
latent disease that may afflict an animal
and renders it immune. "
The Twentieth Century lode at Iris, a
relocation of the Lakota, is to be dove]p-
od this winter by Koogle and Fairbanks.
who bane commenced a shaft about 100
feet north of the old workings which are
something like 150 feet deep. In that
vicinity the granite is heavily impreg-
nated with free gold and thorough pros-
pecting ought to reveal the vein from
which the precious metal was thrown
out. The owners anticipate getting cap-
ital to assist them in the enterprise.--

• New Smelter at Salida.
Ground has been broken for the new

:Colorado Smelting and Refioing com-

modern appliances for treating low grade
as well as high grade ore. Construction

Death of H. F. Campbell.
We have been requested to publish
the following extended obituary of
H.F. Campbell, the grandfather of the
Gee. P. Ellis children, a notice of whose
death we had in the CRF~UC~,NT tWO weeks
ago. This obituary notice is taken from
a Cedar Falls, Iowa, newspaper:
"Hiram Francis Campbell, who died
suddenly last Thursday at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. Gee. W. tIughes, was
born in Ohio in 182~, He was own
cousin to James G. Blaine, and his moth-
er dying when he was three yeays old he
went to Mrs Blaine's home where he
lived until he was 20 years old, the play-
mate and companidn of his distinguished
cousin. Mr. Campbell cHne to Iowa in
1866. living near Webster City until four
years ago, since which time he has made
his h~me in Ced~u' Falls. He had not
been well for six weeks, and his daugh-
ter.in-law, Mrs. Camphell. of Webster
City, was assisting Mrs. Hughes in car
ing for him. He was not considered ser-
iously ill, however, and the day before
his death sat up for some time. When
the neuralgic pain touched his heart he
~went Ioo quickly to have even the morn-i
bers of the family summoned. Four
children survive, Mrs Gee. W. Hughes, i
or this city, Messrs. A. L. and Francis
Campbell of Webster City .nd J, B,J

Monte Vista Journal.
The Saguache populists did not know
fusion was dead and had to be shown.
Many of the populists in this county
voted the republican ticket Tuesday,
the more effectually to kill fusion wi~h
democracy.
W. S. Wintermute and family moved
to Csnter Thursday where Mr. Winter-
mute has charge of T. A. Brashear's
mammoth general store.
In Saguaehe a fusion between the
populists and democrats was effected
but in that county fusion had already
bess dead a whole year and could not be
again brought to life.
The matter of looking after the beet
sugar industry has been placed m the
hands of John McArthur, R. B. Wallace
and J. A. Kelley. Everybody who has
any suggestions to offer should corres-
pond or confer with this committee.
.Alamosa Journal.
There appears now to be nothing in
the way of the location of the beet sugar
factory at Alamosa. Experts will go
over the ground and when their report is
made the question will be decided defi-
nitely.
W. A. Braiden loaded 2600 head of
sheep at Moffat last Saturday and took
them to Alamosa where they were trans-
ferred to seven standard guage cars and
shipped to Greeley for winter feeding.
They were bought near Saguache. "
As an indication of how confident real
estate owners in Alamosa feel about the
location of the sugar factory and the
projected railroad improvements, prop-
erty on Main street has advanced 50 to
100 per cent.
Along with other promises of great de-
velopment in and about Alamosa comes
the announcement, as yet unofficial, that
the Denver & Rio Grands railroad is to
build a large new depot and make other
great improvements at this point to pro-
vided facilities for the heavy business
which will follow the widening of the
narrow guage line to SantaFe. The mak-
ing of this standard guage road to Santa
Fe, with its connection§ with El Paso
and California, will place Alamosa on a
transcontinetal main line.

While the stockholders of the Farmer's

Prairie ditch company are exerting
themselves trying to devise ways and

Judge W. R. Pyke leaves in a few days
for Silverton. He and the Kinney boys
have bonded and leased a mine over
there that will without doubt make them
millionaires ere the roses bloom again.
Here's success to ' you and graciously
given, for the judge has given to under-
stand that he will tske the Press plant
off our hands so that, we may invest in
Arehuletta county oil stocks and also be-
come owners of great wealth.
Election gesults in Valley Counties.
In Saguache county the republicans
elected every candidate, except a consta-
ble in Crestone precinct. In Conejos
and Costatia oonntie.~ the republicans
and democrats put up the same candi-
dates anti o.F coarse elected them. In
Rio Grande the republicans elected
every~hmg but supt. of schools. M',
Carpenter, the, fusion c:,ndidat,-, was ~,
third terser, and had a woman candi-
date against him, but pohties did ,~t,t
seem toeut much figure for this offi'e,
ae it should not. In Mineral county
there was a fusion of populists aud re-
publicans against the demnerats, and
they elected only the candidate for
commissioner,
