NEW BRICK BLOCK.
ELLSWORTH TO HAVE ONE-A
THREE STORY BLOCK.
PLANS NOT YET COMPLETED-ARCH
TECT TO ARRIVE SAFETY DE-
POST VAULTS CoNTEM-
PLATED.

The most important real estate trans
action in Ellsworth in recent years will
probably be consummated shortly. 1t
involves the purchase by the First
national bank of the property on the
northeast corner of Main and State
streets, now occupied by +. E. Joy, j. A.
McGoWn and o. K. Burn ham, and tile
erection of a handsome three-story and
basement brick block.
The title to the property is now being
examined, and as soon as this is com
pIeted, the sale Will undoubtedly be COM
pIeted, and work on the new building be-
gun at once.
The let has a frontage Of about sixty
feet on Main street and eighty feet on
State street. The bank offices will be on
the first floor, and the rest of this floor
will be made into stores. The upper floors
will contain offices.
In connection with the bank it is prob
able that safety deposit vaults of the most
approved fashion will be built 1t is said
that this feature alone will involve an
expenditure of about $4,000.
1t is estimated that the entire block
will cost somewhere from $780, 900 to
sac, 600, and will be the finest business
block in the city.
1t is as yet impossible to give details, as
thing will be finally decided upon until
the deeds are passed. An architect is ex
pected here in few days to consult with
the bank directors.
Mr.. McGown has already made arrange
ments to move his harness business to
the Jordan building on Main street. he

FEENY CONVICTED.
The Ex-Commissioner Found Guilty of
Ma,feasance In Office.

The Ex-Commissioner Found Guilty of
Malfeasance In Office.
Guilty as charged in the second count
ot the Indictment WIS the verdict OF the
district court jury after it had filed into
court after an all-night's session. The
defendant was Thomas F. Feeny. ex-
county commissioner, and the charge was
that he had contracted to and did furn.
ish plumbing supplies to Boulder county
while commissioner. against the statute
in such case made and provided. The
jury had first come in with a verdict of
guilty as charged" but as there were
several charges or counts in the indict-
ment, the court sent them back to report
as to one or more charges upon which
they were agreed or could agree. The
charges were substantially the same,
though differing in language and degree
of criminality. The question largely
hinges upon the contract nature of Mr..
Feeny's arrangement with the county, OF
which he was responsible officer, and
General Ives, his attorney, gave notice
of an appeal.
Ex-Sheriff Dyer and ex-Clerks H. J.
Danford. N. H. Mccall and A. F. Rob
erts were witnesses showing that Mr..
Feeny had admitted his wrong doing to
them. Messrs. Roberts, Mccall and Dan
ford were members of Populist com
mittee appointed to investigate, and to
them Mr.. Feeny made statement, de
nying any attempt to do wrong, but ad.
hitting his technical guilt. Ex County
Attorney Junius Berkeley testified that
Feeny had consulted him as to his right
to furnish supplies, and that he had adj
vised him that he would be guilty OF a
violation of law if he did so. Notwith.
standing this advice, the commissioner
proceeded to furnish supplies and work
to the county, and thereby got himself in
trouble.
Pending the appeal, Judge Boua hton
gave the defendant his liberty on his
own recognizance. The maximum pun
ishment for the offense shall be imprison.
ment lot exceeding six months and a
fine not less than $4,000. The court can,
of course, make it one minute in Jail and
one dollar fine.
Considerable sympathy is expressed
for the ex commissioner, although there
are many who believe his punishment
will not be heavy. AS other commits.
sioners have offended in the same way
there are those who say Feeny should 60
free. Many others, however, feel that
the ends of justice and the best interests
of the county will be subserved by pun.
ishment contemplated by the law. As
the title to the statute does not express
the punishment, it is, doubtless, an in
valid act and the prisoner may go free
on appeal, if that point is raised.

THE BIG FIVE.
Work Continues Actively on One of Boul-
der's Biggest Mines.

Work Continues Actively on One of Boul-
der's Biggest Mines.
President Daniels, of the Big Five
companies, has decided to substitute
steel for wood in the erection of the
larger buildings at the Frances in the
future, believing that. while the first cost
of steel buildings is considerably greater
than those built of wool, yet in the end
it would be practical economy to use the
metal. The latter affords an absolute
fire protection, efecting a large saving
of insurance on it and the costly plant
within, and, besides, it is much more dur.
able.
Thus reasoning, Mr.. Daniels has given
a contract to Minneapolis house for the
immediate erection of boiler house
three stories in height and 4ox8o feet in
width and length, says the Ward Miner
He has also practically decided to allow
the same firm to put up steel ore house
20 feet long, 20 feet wide and 20 feet
deep. The capacity Of this building will
be sufficiently large to accommodate
1900 tons Of ore.
In the meantime the Adit- -Dewdrop
mines are being continuously and sys
tematically worked. The big adltis now
in nearly 1890 feet on the Adit-Dewdrop
leads and work is under way on the tun-
mel that is to tap the famous old Niwot
mines lead. The latter was started some
few days ago at point in the Adit tun-
mel about 25oo feet from its mouth. The
Niwot branch is now being driven almost
due north. 1t will be 28oo feet long when
it reaches the Niwot. Stations are being
cut out on the south side of the big bore,
near it present breast, for the installation
of diamond drill plants, which will be
employed to more rapidly and cheaply
exploit the territory extending from that
field. +
e While the work above mentioned is in
progress no let.up will be allowed to the
progress of driving the main bore ahead.
In the breast of the latter the ore vein is
still as large as ever, the point where it
was somewhat broken up by cross lead
having been passed. Five of the little
Leyner air drills are now at work in the
tunnel and every days use seems to fur.
ther establish their merit.
At the mouth of the Adit tunnel there
is pile containing 1900 tons of ore, to
which additions are daily being made.
The force now employed is 40 men,
and this will be greatly increased the
coming summer.
