Utah, have purchased the East Whiting
mine on Gunnell hill, this city, for
which it is stated on reliable authority
they paid Mr.. w. j. Barker, of Denver
100000. They are now working in the
200, $50 and 350-fuot levels and have an
output of thirty tons of stamp mill ore
in extending these levels west. Owing
to the seepage of surface water they are
unable to do any mining below the 300
foot level. The output of ore is shipped
to the custom stamp mills in Black
Hawk over the Gilpin County Tramway
company's line.

Squire Malachi Pinkiey, Of Milan,
Indicted for Alleged maifeas-
ance in Office.
CHARGED WITH ERAsING RECORDS
Three Counts in the Bill--Defend-
ant Furnishes Security
For Appearance.

One OF the suppressed indictment
returned by the grand jury was
against Squire Malachi Pinkley. of
Milan. The squire, VINO has been
justice of the peace in Milan several
years, is charged with ''willful and
corrupt malfeasance in office" due to
the alleged destruction of certain rec
ords in his docket. There are three
counts.
The case in question was brought
up in his court Sept. 10 and was one
of garnishment of Ney Wilson for use
of j. II Gilmore, plaintiff, who sought
to levy on the formers wages from
the Rock Island Canning company.
H. NJ. McCaskrin, as attorney for
Wilson, set up a claim of portion

ton, the squire tore the record of the
postponement from his docket.

ance and furnished 81, 600 bond for

There are. strong probabilities that

toward carrying it out. All other
railroad organizations in the land. it
is said, will be asked to lend their sup

be raised, but it is likely that orgaui-
cations will lend their financial assist

be needed before the work of carrying

"SPORTING LIFE" COMING
Famous English MeIodrams to BE Seen at
the BurtIs Thursday.

Famous English MeIodrama to BE Seen at
the Burtis Thursday.
The big English melodrama, Sport
ing Life" which ran last season
through in New York and Chicago, is
being presented on the same scale of
magniticence this year as marked it's
last seasons triumphs, and, if reports
are to be believed, the production is
the most elaborate and costly ever
given on the metropolitan stage.
There are in all IA different scenes,
all massive in construction and beau
tiful in execution. Among the most
novel and striking may be mentioned
a magnificent rural picture, showing
the home of Lord Woodstock, taken
from the famous painting, The Day
of Reckoning;" a view of Epson
Downs. EnglaHd's historic race course,
with the grounds and stands filled
with people on the day of the running
of the classic derby; the earl's court
exhi bition, familiar to many Ameri-
cans; the interior of the National
Sporting club. London; Covent Gar
den by night; London's great hoCel,
the Cecil, and numerous scenes Of
less Importance, but equally attrac-
rive. Scores of people are employed
in the production. The hero is a
spendthrift English lord, who squan-
ders his fortune with reckless prodi-
gality, but preserves his honor invio-
late. The story is described as alb
sorbingly interesting, and deals in an
intelligent way with the manly sport
ing life of an English gentleman who
is a devotee of all forms of sport.
The action of the play is rapid and
the interest sustained throughout.
Its success in New York and Chicago
was unquestioned. and night after
night for weeks it was witnessed by
cheering throngs in either city. The
company engaged is said to be one of
the strongest ever organized for a |
similar production. Sporting Life"
