An unfortunate occurrence happened
here last Thursday night aweek. An
affray caused by some old country
feud involved Guiseppi Merlino and
Jim M addona in difficulty. Fortunately
the hand of Providence interviewed,
and what apparently was tragedy
only resulted in slight injury to Mr..
Madonna, who was one of our esteem
able citizens. Sheriff Irving took
Merlino to the county jail at Aspen on
Saturday. Foreman Jack Callibrass
acted with commend able courage and
GOODNESS as representative of the law
and the culprit received some severe,
but richly deserved punishment.

One of the most important strikes in
this district was made last week in the
new Carbonate tunnel, property own
ed by the Mineral Point Mining Co.
1t is stated a large body of paying
copper ore has been opened up in the
lower lime formation. This tunnel is
believed by many to be the key to
Crystal mountain through which many
properties could be worked after it is
completed. The management and fin
ancial hackers of this enterprise are
to be congratulated upon their good
fortune in discovering this body of ore
which has every indication of being
permanent and continuous.
