A COLLISION AvERTED.
Two Cars Nearly Came Together at
 Milford.

Two Cars Nearly Came Together at
 Milford
 A collision between two trolley cars , on the Bridgeport line was narrowly averted Sunday evening. Both cars were heavily loaded with passengers and but for the quick work of the two motormen in putting on brakes they would have crashed together and doubtless have caused loss of life. It was about 6:30 and car bound for Bridgeport was sent ahead to make an extra switch before switching off to al low the car from Bridgeport to pass. Just as the sou uthbound car turned the curve at Milford cemetery the occu- pants of each car saw the other rapid ly approaching and dangerously near and at once confusion and terror seized the passengers, many of whom jumped to escape what they considered the in- evitable collision. The two cars were, however, stopped with only about ten feet separating them. Some of those who jumped were considerably bruised, but no serious injury resulted.

This, of course, like so many more of the old records, is obvius non sense, seeing that two minutes twelve seconds is the record time for a mile, and then there was half a gale of wind blowing behind Donoghue who made the time Without favoring wind the time for q mile exceeds three minutes; so the chronicler of the Serpentine feat would appear to have omitted to put in the minutes, ,-Baily's Magazine.

RICH SILVER ORE,

Silver Plume Standard: Sixteen hun
dred dollars for one wagon load OF ore!
This may sound pretty large, but it is
what load shipped from the Pelican
last Saturday was worth, with silver at
GOl8 cents per ounce. The ore was
taken out of block of ground leased by
Robert Spencer n Co, and they have a
large streak left apparently as good as
the shipment made, as much as a foot of
ore showing in some places in the stope.
Mr.. Spencer and his partners have done
a great deal OF development work on the
mine, and have before had good streaks
Of ore, but this is richer than anything
they have taken out yet, as the ore was
not a selected lot, but taken as it came
from the mine with the usual sorting of
rock from it.

development in the state, the Dorsheim.
ers own large copper properties in Ari.
zona which would doubtless ship all
their ores to the Denver smelter. In ad
dition, according to present plans, the
smelter would be equipped with pyritic
furnaces for the treatment of low grade
ores, thus opening field of vast possi-
bilities for the miners of Boulder, Clear
Creek and Gilpin counties, where these
