The citizens of Victor held a voting
contest. which was conducted by the
Record of that place. and selected one
of that city's most charming young
ladies to come to Utah and appear as
the Queen of Victor. The successful
contestant for the honor was Miss
Lizzie Walsh, who will appear with the
float in the parades.
The popularity of Miss Walsh at her
home is easily seen from the fact that
in selecting her as the representative
of Victor she received over 600 ma
jority over other contestants.
The float is said 10 be very costly
affair and will undoubtedly be one of
sthe finest that viii appear upon. the
streets. Coloradoans never do things
by halves, as a rule, and Miss Walsh
assured The Herald that there would
be no exception this time. Miss Walsh
is very proud of Victor. her home, and
she made it a point to impress upon
the reporter who saw her at the
I Knutsford hotel that it is the greatest
mining camp in the world.
The float was built in Denver under
the direction of ex-Mayor James
Doyle, who became millionaire when
! he made a lucky strike in the now
famous Portland mine, which, since its
discovery only three years ago, has
had an output of over Sl,0OO,0O0 a
year.
The four principal mines of Victor
will be represented on the float in the
manner of display of mineral In
the center will be a scene representing
the great Uintah tunnel, above which
will be suspended an immense globe
and still above this is the throne-like
place where the favored queen will ride

winsome lass of winning ways. by
majority ce 2.045. The young lady was
very mlsl disappointed when she ar
! rived here.
Secretary Rognon, of the Jubilee
! commission, met her at the depot and
( found accommodations for her at the
! Knutsford
! She was told when she left Cripple
| Creek that all arrangements had been
made for her reception here by Mr..
Senior. who was to have charge of the
float from her city. But when she ar
rived il was found no arrangements
had been made for her at all. and no
one seemed to know anything about
representation of Cripple Creek in the
carades.
The matter was reported to the Jub-
lice commission; and she was waited
upon by committee and given every
assurance that her interests would be
looked after.
There seems to have been bad man
agement somewhere over her reception.
Just who is to blame for it has not en-
tirelv been ascertained.
There is a great rivalry between the
towns of Cripple Creek and Victor. and
it was extremely humiliating to Miss
Galley to find that the latter place had
the advantage so fa., and from all in
dications would have the better repre-
sentation. .4i
