paying all requests there will still be
quite a sum left to be added TO the amount
specified; enough to give us fine, large
and up-to-date hall. OF course 1t is a lit.
tie early to speak of plans, but the one
most generally spoken of Is that of max.
ing some arrangement with the Spiritual.
list society whereby their present building
can be made over into a public hall that
will be superior to anything of the kind
in the town. The site is all that can be
desired, the building is In good condition
IN all respects, and it seems as though nc
better plan could be adopted, or one thai
would give such general satisfaction te
the entire village. 1t Is understood thai
the Spiritualist society is perfectly willing
to make such an arrangement for very
reasonable consideration.

ANOTHER HOME COMPANY FOR
LEADNlILE.

LEADN lille.
A movement which was started at
Leadville short time ago for the form
alton of cooperative mining company
to work territory under the limits of
that city, has assumed a tangible shape.
On the evening of November n meet
ing attended by one hundred of the
property owners of the Cloud City and
representative business men, was held.
at which the plans and scope of the
enterprise were fully discussed. The
plan in brief, as given by the Rocky
Mountain News, is to be the formation
of a company capitalized at Sl,0O0,000,
the ground to be operated lying west of
the Home Mining companys ground,
extending to Harrison, avenue. There
are about 800 lots in this territory, the
owners of which will be asked to deed
their mineral rights to the company, in
return for which they will receive stock
in the new company. The necessary
money will be raised by the sale of
stock. 1t was decided at the meeting
to prepare draft of articles of incor-
poration and to formulate a definite
plan for procedure. There is every
reason to believe that such a company
would be equally successful as the
Home Mining company has proven.
SUED FOR A LARGE AMOUNT
Charles Ledler filed a suit in the
Arapahoe county distric5 court October
s, 1899, against the Rollins Gold &
Silver Mining company for S77,1lO.92.
The plaintiff AYERS that defendant gave

that the note was made payable on
demand to bearer, but that, in spite of
demand said to have been made, the
money has not been paid.
