ABig Bee Story.

From California by way OF the San
Francisco Call comes an account OF
what is believed to be the largest bee
hive in the world, a cleft in the face
Of o cliff.
There is no danger of getting very
near this natural beehive without
knowing it, for at all hours of the day
lswarm Of insects hover about it for
several hundred feet in all directions,
aud an incessant buzz that can be
heard an eighth of mile fills the air.
But men do venture near after having
frst put on q suit Of leather clothing,
fastened mask Of wire screen around
their hat brims and lighted a big
torch.
lttakes nerve to approach close to
The opening in the rock, and the ex-
perience is memorable. Bees in
aumerable light on the intruder, hum
ming iendishly and endeavoring to
sung him to death. They form o per
tsct cloud, and the air is filled with 9
ietd smell and a fine dust that gets
through the wire screen and causes ar
irritation of the eyes.
The insects really show signs o
'ieiousness, and fly into the flames O

Just where the entrance to this nj
tural beehive is. There is q sort

top to bottom, but most OF the be'

inches wide, and appear to make tn

FRED MITCHELL.
Assayer.

1t is of the utmost Importance to our
mining interests, which have contrib
uted in greater degree than any other
to our prosperity and growth, that
there should be assaying offices Of
such reliability that their findings in
respect to mineral bearing ore will be
unquestioned. Such an office is that of
Mr.. Fred Mitchell, situated at 112O
Pearl street, where he engaged with
Mr.. Porter in the business in 1896. He
succeeded to the business of Porter &
Mitchell in August, 1898. The equip
ment of the office has been improved
since Mr. Mitchell assumed control, its
original two small rooms have been
extended to the most ample and spa
cious quarters, the small furnace in
creased to double it's former capacity,
until now it is the largest in town, be-
ing capable of running sixty assays at
one time. Mr. Mitchell has in his office
No. 1 Special Ainsworth scale, whose
sensitiveness is the most remarkable
of twenty-four weighing appliances Of
the same character and make. Mr..
Mitchell has had charge of the prin-
cipal mills in this county, and has had
a practical experience in mining and
assaying, extending over twelve years.

vices at 1881 18th street. Mr.. Sullivan
started business in Boulder June 14th,
1897, coming here from Kansas City.
He has carried on the same business
successfully for fourteen years. Since
his establishment here he has gained
and sustains high reputation for ex-
perience, thoroughness and prompt
ness. Mr.. Sullivan has every facility
necessary for the successful further
auce of the business, and is prepared
to take entire charge of funerals ire
spective of distance. His equipment is
Of the very best and includes funeral
car second to none in the state. An
experienced lady assistant in the per-
son of Mr.. Sullivan's wife attends to
the desires of the ladies. EN-
balming is executed according to the
latest and most approved scientific
methods. Personally Mr.. Sullivan is
highly esteemed by our people for his
upright and honorable dealings with
all. He is a quiet and sensible bust
ness man, and we need hardly add that
nothing is wanting to maintain the dig
nifty and decorum so essential to his
profession.

TEMPLE MARKET.
Euler & Voegtle, Proprietors.

The establishment of Messrs. Euler
& NOegtle is entitled to rank among
the most important trade conveniences
of Boulder. The store, at 1887 Four
teenth street, is handsomely fitted up
and kept scrupulously clean-certainly
most commendable feature-and the
stock of fresh meats, beef, veal. pork,
mutton and lamb, fresh and salt fish,
is one of the largest in Boulder, all of
which is offered to the public at such
prices as will invite legitimate compe-
titiOn from any quarter. This concern
established its business here in 1895,
and the success of the business is due
to its proprietors' long experience of
eighteen years in the butcher trade,
during which time they have paid the
closest attention to improvements and
detail of their business. They pack
and put up their own sugar-cured
hams and bacon, manufacture a Supe-
rior article in lard, and those who have
used the sausage which MessrS. Euler
& NOegtle make themselves for the
wholesale and retail trade, pronounce
it uneXcelled. Green bone is here
ground up for poultry feed. Messrs.
Euler & Voegtle enjoy a most liberal
patronage, and merit it through their
conscientious attentions to their trade.

Boulder is particularly favored with
the laundry industry. The Merchants

four months ago and its trade has since
steadily increased. The premises oc-
cupied are located at $40 Pearl street,
near the Armory building. Hand work
only is executed and the proprietor Is
prepared to underta-e laundry work Of
every description, and goods are called
for and delivered with the utmost
promptness. The class of work here
executed is of the very best in every
particular, which no doubt has been
a potent factor in its increasing sue
cess. Special rates are quoted for FAM
lily washing by the dozen and the
greatest care is given the most delicate
fabric, that not only no damage is done
it in the washing, but that no acids or
chemicals are ever used. Mr.. Clink-
scale is himself practical laundryman
and we are sure that a trial order Will
convince that he understands his busi-
