REPORTERS CONTEST.
A Number of High School Students
Interested in the Records"
Prize Offer, and Hiss
Minnie Weed Gets
First Prize.

The offer made in the RECORD for
volunteer reporting was noticed and
commented on very favorably by many.
Several young people brought in small
strings of items. Some were pub
ished as they came in, some re-writ-
ten and others not published at all,
though the writer in every case was
given due credit for all items sent in.
This writing is an education in itself.
There are many men in public life who
cannot write local item in credit
able manner for paper. Every one
who writes one or more items for a
newspaper each week for thirty weeks
cannot help but be greatly benefited
in expression and English.
One thing noticeable this week is
the fact that none of the young
writer's made an attempt to write up
any of the more important events of
the week. Accidents, improvements,
parties, births, deaths, ETC., were all
left alone. These are legitimate sub
jects for items and articles and our
reporters are invited to handle them
freely. We do not care how many
write upon the same subject, you get
credit for what you do without regard
to others.
The prize this week is awarded to
Miss Minnie Weed, and one dollar has
been mailed to her. AS she devoted
possibly no more than half hour to
the work she no doubt will feel well
paid for;this her first writing. The
next best list was sent in by Chan
Dawson, of Lincoln Park. Chan has
the reporters instinct about him and
if he does not lead some of the others
a merry chase for the dictionary he
will drop behind his present pace. A
number of others have promised to
enter next week. Read the instruc-
tions on first page and get items in
as early as possible.

Dropped Dead.

This morning news reached Canon
of the sudden death of George T.
Conaway. Mr.. Conaway was an en-
ploye of the Ajax mine, Cripple Creek.
His watch was from one to seven
o'clock a. m. When the relief came
this morning Mr.. Conaway was found
dead, having fallen from his chair.
During the past few years Mr..
Conaway has been subject to spells
of heart and brain trouble and it was
undoubtedly a recurrence of the old
trouble.
Arrangements have not yet been
made for the funeral, though it will
probably occur on Sunday. The
Masonic fraternity will have charge,
and other lodges and societies of
which he was member are asked to
be escorts.
