Pioneers' Annua, Ball.

The annual ball of the Pioneers
association given Thursday evening,
Thanksgiving night, while not being as
largely attended as year ago, it proved
one of the most enjoyable affairs ever
given by them. 1t was 0 o'clock in the
evening when the grand march formed,
in which there were eighty couples, led
by Mr.. Frank G. Beaman and his sister
Miss Dolly Beaman. From that time
on, excepting short recess taken for
supper, dancing was kept up until $3.50
O'Clock Friday morning. The music,
which was led by Mr.. Teetsall, violinist
of Idaho Springs, composed of six
instruments, gave good satisfaction to
all present, even though they had less
than two years practice, but few of
them having played together before.
Considering the number of other attrac-
tions that evening, the Pioneers did
exceedingly we'll. The ball netted the
association over and above all expenses,
very neat sum. The OBSERVER,
at the request of those who had the
management of the ball in hand, returns
the thanks of the Pioneers asso cation
for the liberal patronage extended.

COPPER DISCOVERY AT EVERGREEN
JEFFERSON COUNTY.

Florence Smith was in from Ever
green, Jefferson county, last Saturday.
He claims that valuable discovery has
been made there OF copper. He showed
the mining reporter OF The OBSERVER
specimens OF spar heavily stained with
fuorine, some OF them being a deep
purple tint. In sinking the discovery
shaft the fluorine continued, but the
loose mineral found in the broken
formation was kidneys Of copper glance.
At the depth Of 46 feet the copper indi-
cations continued to increase, inter
spersed with other material. Assays
made in Golden gave from 10 to Is
per cent copper. Mr.. Smith states that
the material in the shaft where he has
been working at a depth Of "a feet, has
a cap-rock appearance. He thinks that
after sinking through this he will find
well-defined walls and solid body OF
ore. The writer while attending court
in Golden some ten years ago was
shown copper taken out OF a prospect
owned by the late James F. Deaver,
situated southwest OF Golden, that he
had taken out, and in company with
the late +. w. Henderson, former
receiver OF the United States land Office
visited Mr.. beavers prospect and took
out native copper, which formed a
cleavage to the south wall OF the
