The Big Five.

President w. P. Daniels of the Big
Five syndicate at Camp Frances. has let
a contract for the first work on the Sun.
set Frances.W Ward tunnel. Although the
contract was for but fifty feet. yet it
marks the beginning of work on what is
contemplated to be the longest and larg
est tunnel enterprise in Colorado. From
the mouth of the tunnel at Sunset 10 the
Adit tunnel at Frances, the distance is
Il. 500 feet, and to the Columbia vein at
Ward it is $500 feet further. The tun'
mel will cut the Dewdrop vein 200 feet
below the Adit tunnel, and the Columbia
vein 1000 or more feet. On haphazard
calculation Mr.. Daniels thinks 1t will re.
qulre about five years to run the Sunset
tunnel to Wards mother vein-Ward

The Amaigam Mill.

1t is understood that the Amalgam
mill at Sugar Loaf is doing splendidly
and is working an average OF twenty tons
of ore day. Since H. P. Walker took
charge of the mill upon the retirement
of John Rothwell, the representative OF
the Stearns-Rogers company, there has
been no clean up made, but differentlal
ASSAYS made from time to time give
grounds for the belief that an excellent
saving is being effected. The Amalgam
mill is specially adapted for the treat
ment of the ore in the district in which it
is situated and as long as a sufficient
quantity of ore can be obtained, con
dlton which at present seems assured, 1t
will prove success.

MOODY is HERE.

The Great Evangelist Addresses an linz
mense udience in the Armory.
The largest gathering ever ssembled
under one roof in Boulder, excepting OF
of course, the Chautauqua sessions,
crowded the armory hall last night to
hear the great evangelist Moody open
his three nights engagement here.
Though every foot of space was utilized
In the hall many were compelled to turn
away The crowd started TO gather be-
fore 7 o'clock, but on account of the COL
orado Springs train being an hour late,
the Boulder train vas held to make con.
nections and the evangelist did not reach
the hall until 8:I5. The immense chorus
OF Ico voices, admirably drilled by Rev.
E. G.. Lane, furnished the music for the
occasion. A number of the ministers of
the city were in attendance.
Mr. Moody spoke very briefly though
effectively. He mainly emphasized the
distinction between the carnal and spirit
ual birth Of man and said that unless he
be born again his redemption is impossl-
Die. This second birth can come alone
from the incorruptible seed implanted
by God. In illustration of the difficulties
which beset the way of the rescuers in
the slums, Mr.. Moody told little story
~ ~
stalking on the beach in pursuit of snails
when beautiful swan appeared. why,
said the crane, where did you come
FROM" From heaven responded the
swan and in glowing terms he painted
the glories of the distant abode. But,
interrupted the crane, do they have
snals there?" "Snails, OF course not
answered the swan. Then no heaven
for me. It's snalls | want" and the crane
pursued his interrupted vocation. Thus
it is Mr.. Moody said that unless man
be prepared for the beauties of heaven
by being born again the attractions OF
the beyond hold no promise for the
worldly.
A second service was held this morn
ing a, which a crowd almost equal to that
of last night was present.
Mr.. Moody will continue services in
this city until Friday afternoon. Meet
lngs will be held at 1880 a, m. and 7:3o
o. M, except Friday when morning ser
vice will be held at usual time and the
second service at 200 p. m. Further
announcement will be made of time and
place of meeting.

Merchant of Venice

This difficult work of Shakespeare was
admirably rendered by the preparatory
school students in the prep school audit
orlum last night The work of all the
participants was of the highest order
rendering particularization extremely
difficult. Shylock, by Neil Mckenzie
and Porlia by Miss Elder, however, were
especially well taken and deserved the
high praise which they received. Dr.
Callahan and Miss freeman, who pre-.
pared the production, are worthy OF the

Paloma, the Wonderful Child Pianist.


This morning little Paloma Schramm,
the wonderful child pianoist, and par.
ents arrived in the city. Paloma is the
ten year old genius of California, where
her playing and her own compositions
have created such great sensation,
Paloma will give concert IN Denver
soon, and is on her way to New York
where she also is to appear in the near
future.
This morning Paloma played before a
number of Boulder's musical critics at
the home OF Mrs. Rowe, on Pine street
She played compositions of Rubenstein
Beethoven, Chopin-not as child but
like a master. Those present were
amazed and delighted at Paloma's won
derful talent. When she finally played
one of her own beautiful compositions
their amazement was increased. 1t Is
not surprising that Melba says the spirit
of an old master lives in this child.
Among the delighted parties present
were Prof. and Mrs. Farnsworth, Miss Jet
ferson, Miss Brown, Miss Baker, Mrs
Whitney, Mrs Wangelin, Miss Berlin
Miss Grossmeyer and Prof. Slack, o
Denver.
Paloma and parents returned on the
afternoon train for Denver and will leave
for the east. All who heard her thi
morning are anxious to have her return
and give concert here.

Leprosy Is Not Hereditary.

That le1sgssy is contagious disease
is unanimously admitted by the best
authorities, but the exact manner Of its
contagion is certainly difficult to I'M
derstand. There are many examples
Of persons living for years in the most
intimate family relations with lepers
and remaining uninfected. And often
but one member of the family will ac-
quire the disease. On the other hand,
the history of the disease in different
parts of the world shows that its origin
can always be traced to human impor-
tatfon. There are also very large
number of recorded cases where lep-
rosy has resulted from a single contact
Of an abraded surface with some lesion
or secretion Of an infected individual.
These apparently contradictory facts
must be explained on the theory that
some peculiar, inherent predisposition,
which exists only in limited number
of individuals, is necessary for the de-
velopment Of this strange disease
There is no reason to believe that lep-
rosy is a hereditary disease.-North

HAVE TOO MANY HOLIDAYS.

Ghicago's Bank Clerks Protest Against
Too Frequent Releases.
He who works for his living and at
the same time objects to frequent holi-
days presents an anomaly in public
life. Chicago is noted for many queer
hings. This class of clerk is one Of
them, and Of all persons he is the last
one the layman would expect to file
such a protest. But the bank clerks
Of Chicago do solemnly and earnestly
protest because of the frequent occur
renee of days when their places of en-
ployment are closed for the whole or
part of the day. The objection when
analysed is based on good grounds.
Election day was a fair sample of the
reasons underlying the strange situa-
ton. On that day the banks and sa-
looms were closed; all other business
houses were open. The clerks Of other
houses eIfvied the bank clerks, but
without good cause. While all those
houses were working they. were piling
up two days work for the banks. The
holiday business is dumped on the
banks the day after, in addition to the
current business, so the clerks who
have a day off pay for it on the sue
ceeding day.

Buckles increase in size and costliness
