posits, which arc the principal product of that
country. He likewise made similar discoveries
- p snitrates, which are also found there in
grekt quantity. The Peruvian Congress, on
his petition, awarded him q recompense for
his guano discoveries 5000 tons of the article,
but on condition that he would reveal all that
he knew about the nitrates. The condition
was not accepted, and Cochet returned to Ia

Rev. Mr.. Smock, of Crested Butte.
| The affair was quiet and without any
ostentation whatever, no one being
present except the family. but the boy;
of the town made 1t pretty lively
about eleven o'clock, so much so that
John had to respond to their cali anc
do the handsome thing by them. Mis-
Tcwksbury is a native of Belfast,
Maine, but more recently resided IN
Denver, until about six weeks ago she
came here with her sister to reside.
John w. Sayles is the son of ex-Attor.
ney-General Sayles, of Texas and ha:
always resided in the town of Bren.
nan, that State, until about three
years ago, when he came here to take
charge of some valuable mining prop.
erty owned by himself and other prom.
inent gentlemen in Southern Texas.
John. may the sails Of your ship evel
flaunt to the breezes and ride on the
sea of prosperity and happiness, and
manned with a good crew Of young
Sayleses, and that time alone, after a
happy and useful life, may furl your
sails in the harbor of everlasting peace
and rest. May the Lord be with you,
Amen!

REPORT FROM THE
PICK AND SHOVEL.

w. w. Morrison, a prominent
mining man of Leadville, arrived in
camp last Saturday and assumed full
charge OF the Lead Chief, which has
been idle for some time. He is at
work putting the machinery III order
and will commence to get the mine
in shape so that work can be pushed
when the new machinery is put III
place, which is now at Crested Butte.
Mr.. Morrison is the man who put the
present machinery in in the summer
OF 1880.
Messrs. ]. w. Sayles and O. G..
Schultz visited Silver basin this week
for the purpose of inspecting the
Gen. Sayles lode. They report that
at the depth of 12o feet In the shaft a
cross-cut was commenced and run
II feet. At this distance the Gen.
Sayles' vein has been cut, which Is
about three feet wide between two
we'll defined walls. The vein is
quartzite, carrying iron pyr!tese and
galena. Work will be vigorously
pushed by Red Rogers, the contrac-
tor.

D. Gage. He was member of the
town board along with Ed Trevor,
Geo. Spahr, Geo. Cornwall, Phil
Peters and Pardessus. For the last
two years he has been living in Gun
rison. Sometime ago he concluded to
90 to Denver and on arriving IN the
Queen city of the West Re soon saw
that his California duck suit and from
tier appearance was out of place, so
he repaired to a clothing mart and
donned himself in d bran new suit,
then concluded to have his beard of
many years standing trimmed up.
After that he wanted to visit the opera
house, having heard so much of this
magnificent structure. As he walked
up the broad entrance he saw what
appeared to him to be a man standing
there, but which proved to be his own
reflection in the large mirror that COW
cred the whole front of the entrance.
As he neared the man, ,as he supposed,
he reached out his hand to shake,
when the supposed man did likewise,
and in an..instant Bro. Gage discovered
that he had rammed his hand through
magnificent mirror, being unable to
recognize himself after getting fixed
up. Dad Gage "does' the boys on all
occasions whenever they mention this
episode.
