Capitalists and stockholders of the
Gilpin and Cripple Creek Mining Com
pany, comprising party of Is, left
Worcester in the yellowstone" travel
ing car, owned by Jerome Marble, for
the west, yesterday, to review two of
the mines owned by the Gilpin COM
pany. The trip win be a little less
than two weeks, and in this time the
members of the party expect to see
some great sights and get a little
knowledge regarding the mines in
which their money is invested. The
two mines that the company own are
the Black Hawk and the Cripple, and
they are said to be two of the most
productive ones in that part of the
country, which is In Colorado, a short
distance from the city of Denver. 1t
is not often that trip Of this kind can
be enjoyed, and there was no hesita-
ton on the part of those who went
when the opportunity came their way
to go.
The car which is built to accommo-
date 20 persons, is probably one of the
best in the country for the purpose,
and those who went with it will have
all the room that they require.
The party was made up of Provi-
dence as well as Worcester people,
those from Providence being j. r, Ma
guire, q. S. Bowen, Charles A. Dooty
e. A. Johnson James r. simmons,
Charles Gladding, Hon. Justice s. But
Ter and B. M. Lowell, who Is travelling
representative for the E. J. Knight
Company, bankers and brokers, Of
Providence, and who has charge of all
affairs during the trip. The Providence
party reached Worcester at Is
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, and were
met by Francis e. Higgins, Edward p.
Ptvey, James Bigelow, Osgood Plum
mer, John s Gould and H. f. A. Lange,
who constitute the Worcester party,
and were escorted to quarters up town.
Where they spent an hour or so in
handshaking and remarks pertaining
to the trip.
At 9 o'clock they left for the depot
to make complete everything for the
trip that had possibly been neglected
The Yellowstone, which had been
stored in the freight yard was drawn
to the Fitchburg tracks, and in it were
all the appurtenances necessary for
the trip. With the car were a chef
porter and waiter to attend to all the
needs of the excursionists.
At 3.45 O'Clock the word to start was
given and, amid the cheering of many
friends, the yellowstone" pulled out
of the depot, en- route by the Fitchburg
road to Niagara Falls, where the first
stop will be made The stay there will
be about day. The party will there
lay in a small supply of fresh meat,
the rest of the goods-such as groceries
and other tIhings-having been provided
for the whole trip From Niagara they
will proceed to Omaha. The next stop
will be in Denver, where 1t Is intended
TO make the headquarters of the party
Eight days will be spent in going
through the Black Hawk and Cripple
mines, and every night they will re-
turn to Denver.
After the stay there, which will be
long enough for them to get all the
ideas they are in search Of, they will
return by way of Kansas City, going
thence to Chicago for another short
stop. A through trip from that city
will then be made to Worcester. When
the car returns Jerome Marble intends
to make arrangements and to fit up the
car II possible in the course Of three
days and then, with party, go south
to remain for about a month.
