The persistent Boy,

H
At times persistency is very tiresome.
At others it is a virtue. The boy who
doesn't persist In the right direction
does not succeed, but he should first be
sure that he has the right to persist.
A Chicago paper tells Of a persistent
boy who has the right idea. 1t seems
that a young man came out of a little
tailor shop in that city recently with a
hammer and a piece Of board in his
hands. 1t was 8 o'clock in the morn
ing, and the thoroughfare was crowded.
After a brief survey he turned to the
doorway again and producing a nail
from his pocket began to fasten the
board to the door frame. Then it was
seer that it was a sign, and it bore the
magic words, boy Wanted"
The young man had struck the nail
about four feeble blows when he fell
his striking arm plucked by the sleeve.
He turned his head. There stood the
boy who wanted the job for which a
boy was wanted.
did you hire a boy yet" he asked.
"Great Scott, nor said the tailor's
assistant. II haven't got the sign up
yet"
"Well, you don't need to put 1t up
now" said the small boy. "Tm here.
What do you want of the signw
The young mar thought awhile,
looked at the boy once or twice and
then took the board down.
9" guess you are right" he said.
"Come in"
The boy got the position. He vas
quick and he was persistent at the
right time. Of such is the kingdom Of
success,

County Coroner and Possibly the
County Commissioner Elected
by the Republicans.

The election held last Tuesday
throughout the county was very quiet,
and no disturbances we're noted. The
day was an ideal one for election and a
large vote was recorded. All morning
long the Republicans were claiming
everything, but towards noon the feeling
Of change set upon them and it was
apparent that the fusionists were cast
ing the largest vote. Early in the cam
paixn it wa eseen that the hardest con-
test would be between the sheriff and
commissioner candidates, but the further
away election day was the more votes
Cody was making, until Tuesday it
seemed that he had them all. The fight
has been a good one, and the present
county officers were endorsed by an i'm
mense majority, showing that the people
have all the confidence in the world in
our officers. DR.. Richmond made a
splendid run on the Republican ticket,
running 200 votes ahead OF his ticket,
and Crook also made a splendid run.
Dick Murley, Kit Trezise and Joe
Updegraff had handsome majorities,
while Tom Cody surprised the natives.
The vote in the county is given in the
table below, but this is not final and
may be changed in the official count:

block of ore in the possession of Mr..
Henry r. Lowe, former manager and
part owner OF the property, which is
situated in Russell district The Rocky
Mountain News says that the saw used
in cutting the block of ore is said to be
the largest Of the kind in America. 1t
is made of hammered iron, as steel will
not do the work, being too hard. The
method Of cutting requires that the
edge Of the saw, which is circular in
form, shall be notched irregularly with
q knife, after which diamond dust is
applied to form cutting edge. The
iron being softer than the stone, the
dust is forced into the iron, forming an
edge which readily advances through
the stone. Six carats OF diamond dust
were used up in cutting the slab last
Thursday. The dust from the cutting
was carefully selected and melted in
a crucible, forming handsome gold
bar. The slab, as we'll as the block Of
ore from which it was taken, is pro-
nounced by experts 10 be great
wonder.

APPLICATION OF ASSEsSM ENT
WORK.

The supreme court OF Utah a short
time ago handed down the following
decision relating to the application of
assessment work:
Although the owner OF a mining To-
cation, originally valid, has failed in his
assessment work, so that the ground is
open for relocation, yet if before any
valid relocation is made by others or
after the abandonment of the valid
relocation the original locator or his
grantee resumes possession and does the
necessary work, his rights are revived
under the original location.
Assessment for mining claim may be
done on an adjoining claim, where it is
shown it was intended for such claim,
and that the work would inure to its
benefit.
In an action involving the title and
right Of possession of certain mining
ground, deed given by the original
locator to plaintiff prior to the COM
mencement of an action for the purpose
OF correcting the description, is properly
admitted in evidence, as bearing on the
rights Of the parties.

SCRAP OF HISTORY.

An editorial paragraph IN the Ana.
conda (Montana) Standard OF October 81
states that 1.-The first discovery OF gold
in Colorado was made in Gilpin county.
1t was n placer find and was made in
January OF the year named. A little
later the Gregory lode was struck"
Historian General Frank Hall, OF the
Denver Daily Mining Record, in the
issue OF that journal OF November 4
gives the following interesting historical
fact:
ut is not true. Setting aside numcr-
GUS more or less apocryphal reports Of
the discovery of gold anterior TO the
appearance OF the first large party Of
immigrants in 1858, it may be stated
that the first gold extracted in mer-
chantable quantity WAS the work of
Green Russell's party from Georgia in
what is known as Dry creek, about five
miles above Denver. This occurred in
the summer of 1858. The next discovery
Of Importance which yielded large re.
turns was made by Captain George A.
Jackson at the junction OF Chicago
creek with Vasquez fork (now Clear
creek opposite Idaho Springs. This
took place January Z, 1859. The third
was that OF John Gregory in what is
now Gilpin county, not in placer ground,
but on the outcrop Of the Gregory lode.
This occurred the first week in May,
1859. Meanwhile, however, much

FIRST GOLD SHIPMENT.

Frank c. Young, president OF the
Gunne,l Gold Mining and Milling Co.,
last Thursday made the tirst shipment
Of gold to the United States branch
mint in Denver from that company's
properties since taking charge OF the
property. The shipment represented
the output of mill gold for the past
month of October. 1t consisted OF Gil
ounces of gold retorts, nine in number,
and were the products of the company's
own mills in Black Hawk. The gold
represented value of slOOS0. They
were viewed by all transacting business
at the First National bank, where Mr..
Young placed them after being brought
to this city from the mills. The ore, as
The OBSERVER is informed, came from
different portions of the Gunnell group
OF veins and were treated as sample
lots.
This first shipment is only an index
OF many more and of greater value
that will follow hereafter when the
foreman, Mr.. Neidemier, gets more
ground opened up. With the amount OF
ground owned by the Gupnell company
worked to its former capacity, it will be
an easy matter to supply the three
stamp mills in Black Hawk, the capacity
being a total Of 113 stamps. It is ssfe
to predict that the Gunnell company
will soon take it's former rank as one Of
the largest and steadiest producers Of
guld bullion in Gilpin county.

Hurricane Battle.

In the hurricane battle last Friday
evening between James J. Jeffries and
Tom Sharkey both reached the limit of
twenty-five rounds. In five rounds
Jeffries had the best of the fght-in the
first two and last three. During the
other twenty Sharkey forced the issue,
and like bull terrier, was at his man
with both hands Increasingly. In those
twenty rounds Jeffries' great weight
and brawr helped him to hold off the
sailor, and in the twenty-second round
he swung in couple of vicious upper
cuts that made Sharkey groggy. Tom
came back in the twenty-fourth and
twenty fifth. but he was weakened
greatly by Jeffries' vicious blows. One
minute before the gong sounded to end
the fight, Jeffres' left glove came off
and practically ended the contest. The
referee motioned to Jeffries' corner and
an American flag was flung over the
shoulders and the crowd on
that side and end Of the arena cheered
wildly. The crowd on the opposite side
and end, in Sharxey's corner, yelled for
Sharkey, and the men we're led back tn
their dressing rooms. The contest was
witnessed by thousands of people.

started the air compressors of that

Four veins that have been cut by that
enterprise are to be dritted upon. The
one which gives great promise is the
International, which will be drifted
upon 1000 feet. Another named the
Sphinx is to be drifted upon in the
tunnel at the point where that enter

which vein crosses that gulch. Mr..

The output OF this property for
October, 1899, was 462 cars Of ore, or
1927 tons, the greater proportion of
which was stamp mill ore, all of which
was crushed at the custom stamp mills
in Black Hawk. When the levels are
extended east and west from the bottom
