About the Doctor Mime.

A Cripple Creek special to the Den
yer News contains the following BIZ
of cheering news: "The Doctor
mine, on Raven Hill, will resums
operations in few days after a shut
down of several months. This well
known bonanza has the reputation OF
having shipped the richest carload OF
ore ever mined in the district. It was
sent to one of the Pueblo smelters
about three years ago and the owners,
Messrs. Cone & Robson, of Canon
City, gave out its value at that time
as little over $4,000. AS depth
was gained the rich ore chute played
out, and at little over 700 feet big
flow of water was encountered last
spring. Work was then stopped.
The mine was among the big dividend
payers of the camp for over four
years. Manager Harry Dahl asserts
that when the water was encountered
there was good ore in sight in the
bottom level and is confident that
when work is resumed the mine will
again become a regular shipper and
one of the pay properties Of the dist
rict.'

AN ELEGANT STREET.
This Can Now Be Said of 0reeuw ood
Avenue. Cost, $1,000. IL
Average, $3.50 Per
of

The grading of Greenwood avenue
is finished. The actual improvement
to the street is even greater than was
predicted by the RECORD. The cost
was nominal. AS compared with the
outlay for the improvement of Main
street it was mere bagatelle. When
the amount of shale, sand and lumber
used in reaching the high standard
attained is considered the expense
was extremely small Of shale 1861
cubic yards were hauled, which
brought the street to a nice level
grade. On top of this was placed
595 cubic yards of coarse red sand,
extending over the entire surface of
the street, and when firmly down will
give the street the appearance of hav-
ing been paved with asphaltum.
In the construction of culverts 1910
feet of lumber and a keg of nails were
used. The cost of grading was $24.-
l8, and $121. 20 We're paid to laborers,
bringing the total outlay up to ST.
O66.4l, and average of $3.50 per lot.
The amount donated in cash and
labor was $54l in round numbers,
leaving the sum of $525.4l for the
city to bear.
Surely no one can honestly say that
the benefit to be derived from good
streets will not warrant the outlay
when the improvements can be made
as cheap as has been done in this in
stance,
1t now stands the residents and
real estate owners of Macon avenue
and River street in hand to club to-
gether and pledge sum sufficient to
justify the city council in authorizing
the necessary amount of work to
make their respective streets equal
in appearance to Greenwood and Main.
This should be done before Fruit Day,
too, as it will be among the most at
tractive features that can be pre-
sented to the visitors.

The Blues Win.

The ball game came off as adver-
tised, but did not result as predicted
by the DAILY RECORD. Either the
judgment of our sporting editor or
the skill of the Reds was off-or both.
The game was witnessed by thousands
of enthusiastic spectators, many of
them wearing the red or the blue.
The Reds were first at the bat and
succeeded in very short time in
making three outs, but no runs. Thus
encouraged the Blues came in quite
enthusiastic and very quickly made
four runs. From this on the game
was very evenly matched, the Reds
soon picking up few rms, and the
score remained very close to the end,
which at the finish stood 6 to 5 in
favor of the Blues.
The Reds acknowledge their de-
feat with the best of grace, at the
same time being confident that it
cannot be repeated. 1t is very prob
able that another game will be played
at some early date when the Reds
will show them what they could have
done this time had they tried. The
playing, considering the lack of prac-
tice, was very good indeed, the errors
being remarkablyefew. Judge Bailey
made an excellent umpire his de-
cisions all being like those he gives
on the bench, fair and impartial.
The score by innings stood as follows:

Freaks of Electricity.

While the storm was at its height
Monday bolt of lightning descended
the mammoth smoke stack at the
electric power plant, diffusing itself
about the interior of the boiler room
and prostrating three men. One man
was unconscious for several minutes,
but otherwise no damage worthy of
mention was sustained.
About the same time the electric
fluid struck one of S. II. Atwater's
houses in South Canon, entering the
dining room over the east window,
passed through partition at its inter-
section wi4h the ceiling into the front
room where it threw three men who
were sitting and lying on opposite
sides of the room to the floor in the
middle Of the room leaving them all
in heap slightly stunned. Passing
around the room part of the bolt
passed out of the north side of the
house near the door and part of it
continued on its course and entered
the bedroom where large dresser
mirror was literally smashed to
smithereens, small particles of glass
being embedded in the opposite wall,
while the bed diagonally across in one
corner was fairly filled with broken
glass. At the beginning of the storm
the baby was asleep in the bed but
awaking had been taken out by its
mother who had just as the flash oc-
CURED entered the door of her near
est neighbor. This act probably saved
the child's life, as the flying glass de-
scended with sufficient force to drive
it through the bedding. Things were
turned topsy turvy in the house, and
the men say when the electricity
reached the front room it seemed to
CONCEAL in the shape of ball in the
center of the room. A blackened
spot on the carpet remains to verify
the statement.
On the prairie beyond the cemetery
during the same storm valuable COW
belonging to A. NJ. Ewell was killed
by an electric shock.

ships DOG That Always store. Uu
supply OF homes for "a Long
Sen Voyage.


Aboard the Portuguese bark Indus
tria, there is an intelligent little mon
grel dog. which always attracts atten-
tion among the people at the Poin,
whenever the steamer comes there,
says the Philadelphia Record. They
call the animal "Scavenger,'' by reason
Of bis peculiar trait of gathering to him
self nil the old bones he can find and
boarding them up to serve as food on
his long voyage home to Lisbon. The
Industria pulled into Point Breeze late
ly and the dog was ashore before she
touched her wharf, Scavenger was i'm.
patient to get after his bones, and when
the opportunity offered be jumped from
the steamer to tug, thence to a lighter
and from there to the shore. He found
a good likely bone by the time his float.
Ing home had tied up TO the wharf and
hurried aboard to hide II, His great sa-
gaeity leads him to the most out-of-the-
way parts OF the ship. where he knows
his treasures are not likely TO be found
and disturbed. All liweek Scayeuger was
found as busy laying in his stores as
the men were loading the cargo of
oil, and had kept this work mp until the
last whistle blew. One of the workmen
who watched the dog expressed the
opinion that seavenger had not less than
$50 bones stored away aboard ship,

River Street will be Graded.

The question of grading River
street has been taken up by MIR. j.
II. Harrison, who has started upon
the matter III business like manner
which will undoubtedly culminate
successfully. Mr.. Harrison being
heavy property owner himself, will
have great influence with others,
whom he can easily convince of the
benefits to be gained from good
streets. In fact, there is no argu-
ment against good streets. The cost
cannot longer be used as a
cudgel, because this fallacy was
knocked in the head by the facts
brought out on the Greenwood avenue
case. The RECORD has no hesitency
in saying that a single glance at
Greenwood avenue will convince every
resident and owner of real estate in
the city that every street should be
subjected to the same treatment.
When once the humps and bumps
and hollows and hills are taken out
of street it becomes an object of
admiration, to say nothing of the
comforts afforded in driving over it.
We venture the assertion that since
work began ON the street more peo-
pie have passed up and down Green
wood avenue than during any other
period in its history, save, perhaps,
that devoted to Fruit days. Resi-
dents Of River street will appreciate
this fact at once. Their street is
much more favorably situated to
catch travel to and from the city, and
transciepts will not be long in making
known their appreciation of even the
slightest improvements.
We hope to see this matter pushed
vigorously until every prominent
street in the city has been touched
up, knowing full well that lasting and
immediate benefits that accrue to a
city when the streets mirror the
character of its population. Already
Canon City is known far and wide as
the most attractive city of its size in
/ the west, but the reputation cannot
be maintained when the first thing a
visitor beholds is a rough, ill-kept
street, whose rugged edges depict
the air of despair ani desolation.
Therefore, let US be up and doing
, that those who come after may re-
joice that we lived.
