GAIN IN MINT RECEIPTS.

Since the summer Of 1899 but two OF
the Colorado refineries have deposited
bullion at the Denver branch mint, says
the Rocky Mountain News. The bullion
produced by the Guggenheim plants,
that from the Omaha Grant refinery and
bars bearing the stamp of the Argentine
works are sold in New York city, where
small premium is paid. Hence the
local mint receipts are largely from
chemical plants and stamp mills, the for
mer leading. Only one placer, the Twin
Lakes, near Leadville, deposited last
month.
The total for May reached 81 ,675, ,646. 81
compared with s1,546 ,334.11 in May, 1899,
showing gain of 1892 26, or close to
8 per cent. AS deposits of retorts and
bars are paid for in government drafts
on Chicago, the total does not figure in
Den"er's bank clearings. This practice
will probably be corrected in the first
half of the new century, when the local
coinage mint is ready for use.

GARDEN NINE WINS.

The case of II. N. Sims, owner of the
Hope lode claim, north OF the Garden
mine, Idaho district situated but short
distance south of the Gilpin county line,
which for two weeks was on trial before
Judge A. 81. DeFrance at Georgetown,
came to close last Saturday, the jury,
after being out all night, bringing in a

were examined, among them Deputy U.

and Byron S. Lake, of Central City. In
rendering their verdict, after a personal
examination of the disputed ground,

Death of Mrs. Mcnamara.

Golden Transcript, May 81: Mrs. Ellen
Mcnamara died at her home on Coal
Creek, Jefferson county, May %. Mrs.
McNamara's maiden name was Miss
Franey. She was born in Ireland in 1896,
came to this country in 1865, and went
to Central City, where she was married
to Michael Mcnamara in 1880. Mrs Nc
Namara was known to be one of the
noblest women of her extensive acquaint-
ance. She was the very embodiment Of
love. A loving woman; a woman most
lovable. Affection for her fellows welled
from out her heart and touched in cop
ious flood all brought within contact
Her neighbors shared in the general grief,
and draped their homes with noble tok-
ems OF their mourning hearts. Her gen.
erosity passed quick and far beyond the
lines marked out by charity, and over
flowed the limits fixed by prudence. The
life of this noble lady was like rare gem,
whose every side was Respondent with
light. AS wife she was what every
husband might hope for in wife. AS
mother she was tender and true. AS a
friend she was open hearted and gener-
GUS as the day, as member of the Cath
olic church none exceeded her in zeal.
And now, noble woman, under brighter
skies, we trust all shall meet again. From
God thou camest and to God thou hast
returned, not broken down but assembled; (;
not collapsed, but irradiated. Hail and
farewell.

BRUTALLY ASSAULTED.
Daniel =. Mckay Knocked Down While In
Denver Last Week.

Denver Last Week.
Friday evenings Denver Tines says
Daniel j. Mckay member of>fhe firm
of Jenkins, Mckay & Co, at Central
City, whose family resides at 1CO Grant
Avenue, Denver, was bruially assaulted
last Thursday evening about s o'clock
while WALKING across the Larimer street
viaduct, and he will not recover from the
effects of a. blow on the head for some
time TO come. He was dazed by the blow
and did not recover his senses until he
found himself in bed at his home two
hours later with the doctor and friends
working over hTvn. How he escaped from
his assailants and reached his home he
does t'know,. though he was seen walk
ing up First Avenue, from Broadway to
Grant rather hurriedly. He had evil
IDENTIFY gone home on Broadway car, as
he could not have walked the entire dis.
tanco in the time he had.
Mr.. Mckay spends most of his time in
Central City, making periodical visits to
his home in Denver. Aside from his in
tersst in the hardware firm he is engaged
in mining and it was to discuss mining
deal that he was going over the viaduct.
While crossing the structure he was met
by three men,, one OF whom stepped in
front Of him and asked him where he was
going. Mr.. Mckay made some reply to
the effect that he was going over the
river, when the man replied: 81 guess
you are not" and struck him over the
head with some blunt instrument. That
was the last Mr.. Mckay could remember.
Mrs. Mckay had made preparations to
give a MASKED party for her two children
and the little guests were Just beginning
to arrive when Mr.. Mckay came into the
house, with blood running down the side
OF his head and apparently crazed.
The little guests were sent home as
they arrived and physician summoned.
DIR. Richmond, the family physician, soon
arrived and began to work over Mr.. Nc
Kay. For long time he could get no
intelligibe' answer from the patient, but
presently Mr.. Mckay turned over and
exclaimed: Hello, Richmond" 1t was
the first CLEAN of intelligence he had ex-
hibited- There was cash of an inch or
more in his head where he had been
struck This was soon fixed up and Mr..
Makay will speedily recover from the
shock.
While the motive was undoubtedly
robbery, the moneyin Mr.. McKay's pock-
cts was untouched, showing that be must
have broken away from the men or they
were frightened from their work before
they had had time to go through his
pockets. The city is filled with thugs
and robbers and they must be getting
very bold when they will attack man
in broad daylight in so conspicuous a
place.
