What Happened to Jones.

Boulder's theatre goers were treated
to full exposition Of the whole works
on Saturday night by Harry Corson
Clarke and his admirable company and
they seemed to like it. Indeed the size
of the audience and the applause that
greeted the play from beginning to end
would seem to indicate that their salts
faction was of a superlative degree
And we'll it might be for so commendable
an entertainment has not visited Boulder
for some years. 1t was clean. solie

pany was entitled to praise. The full
effect of the play of course could not be
expected on a stage so small as the
Boulder stage. but the company good
natuiedly made the best OF it and scored
a decided hit. They can come AGAR
whenever they want to. and they vii

nine management has been given to Joe

miner Of this county. Mr. Luxon has
operated in Gold Hill, Magnolia. Sun

known camps of the county and it is
probable that Mr.. Leech could have
secured no one better acquainted with
mining in this county. In view of the
scores of applications for the position, il
is a recommendation of the highest char
acter for Mr.. Luxon to have been thus
selected. Itis understood that he will
go to Cardinal on Wednesday and take
charge of the mine on the following day
The general plans for operating the
mine have not been made public.

THE PRIckING OF A BUBBLE.

q. e. Blair Combined Comedy, Tradegy
and Opera Bouffe.
It is rare that one man successfully
combines several branches of histrionic
efforts IN one feeting existence. but H. E
Blair. whose death occurred at Cincin
nattl last week, did all this and more.
Mr.. Blair's ruin is attributed to his pen.
chant for backing opera companies, his
main effort in that line being the Boston
Lyric and the Italian opera companies.
The losses sustained through the latter
company alone are placed at $4,000.
| The point however in which he claims
Boulders interest, was the Little Alice
mine and mill at Rowena, and his opera
bouffe presentation of a supposed deed
for the same. to his wife during the
course of a swell dinner at the Brown
hotel a year ago. Mr.. Blair didn't own
the mine at the time but that didn't mat.
ter. The exhibition was made and the
gentleman secured several hysterical ac-
counts in the Denver dailies. The true
inwardness of the case, however, was
that he and his Blair mining company
secured the Little Alice under lease and
worked it for a short time with but in
different success. The payments in the
lease began: to lapse and finally ceased
altogether and the company abandoned
the property. The owners filed action
in the district court in Denver and at
|tached the machinery which the Blail
company had purchased. No answer
vas filed and now the end of the play
will come in the shape Of a sale BY AL
len & Webster, attorneys for the owners
Mr.. Blair was figure of no little promi'
nence at Rowena for time and miners
tell amusing stories of his experience
there. He came.and went and nothing
lis left but his accumulated debts ano
the assurance that his existence was
purely dramatic from the first to the last

Agent Fisher Visit Boulder to Dis
cuss Plans. ZG&
President J. L. Long of the Texas
Colorado Chautauqua association and /.
E. Fisher, general passenger agent OF
the Colorado & Southern were in Boul-
der today to meet with the Boulder di
rectors of the association to discuss plans
for the Institution for the coming year.
Mr.. Long stated to the Camera repre-
sentative that the outlook for the associ.
alton for the coming year was extremely
bright and said that he felt that con-
servative estimate would place the at.
tendance from his state at double that
OF 1893.
1.-The idea has taken firm hold upon
the people" said he land with the com.
ing season the fruits of the satisfaction
over last year will be gathered in full
measure. Changes in management and
fuller attendance will also insure better
financial showing. But we must have
transportation. We must have it. We
cannot expect to succeed without it"
The visitors spent the day in looking
over the city and Chautauqua grounds
and did not meet with the directors until
late this afternoon. At the meeting
nothing definite was done, the directors
deciding to leave final action regarding
the session to a subsequent meeting in
Fort Worth. President Long started for
the south on the afternoon train.
In connection with the Chautauqua
plans for the coming year. it is stated
that proposition is now pending for the
construction of branch railway to the
grounds which stands good chance OF
materializing. Representatives of the
c. & N. road last Saturday Mr.. Trum'
bull of the Gulf road offered to furnish
rails and ties for branch to the grounds
if the c. & N. will secure the right of
way, grade and construct the line and
operate it during its first year. Mr..
Blair has written to President Culbert'
son of the proposition and his answer is
now awaited. The c. & N. will probably
ask the city to provide the righ: Of way
in case it undertakes the plan,

Postal Company contended that this ar
rangement was Offset by another con-
tract between the railroad and the West

THE DECISION OF 1892.
The case ran through the courts and
in 1892 was argued before the Supreme
Court, which on March Path of that year
rendered decision UNFOLDING the con-
tention of the railroad company. This
opinion was written by Judge Lacy, while
Judges Lewis and Hinton dissented from
IT, The court al that time held that the
telegraph company could not erect it's
poles along the railway, but only outside
the railroads property.
An appeal was taken to the United
States Supreme Court on Federal ques-
lions raised after the decision of the
State Court, and there again the de-
cision went against the telegraph COM
pany, the Federal Court declining TO con-
slider the case because the points raised
did not appear on the records in the
courts below. The telegraph company
did not relinquish the fight, however.
