Last Sunday the editor OF the
Enterprise assumed that his youth
had been renewed and he went to
La unta to see girl-one whom
he had known many years before.
Miss Annie Curry and the editor
were friends for,y-five years ago
and had not met in all that time.
Consequently an invitation to take
dinner at the home of c. Talli-
ferro, was accepted with pleasure.
The girl we last saw in 1857 is
now Mrs. James Talliaferro Of
Lebanon, Mo-, gray-haired,
bright, intelligent lady of sixty
FIVE now visiting her son in La
nnta.
Last SUNDAY evening we attend
ed services in La Junta's beauti-
ful new opera house, everything
being in marked contrast with the
early day worship. To lead the
singing there was large and fine
choir, piano, two violins and a
clarinet. Union services are be-
ing held in the opera house during
the heated term. II was Rev.
Kenneth Moneys time TO preach
and he delivered an unusually
good sermcn-able, scholarly,
practical, spiritual. The sermon
was all this in spite OF the un-
churchly and theatrical Nurround-
ings, which cannot but handicap a
preacher. The La unta Metho-
dists should treat Mr.. Money
handsomely as he would fit very
nicely in larger and much more
important charge.
A theatre is not a favorable
place for religious worship, aside
from the incopgruity OF the oper-
attic environment. Many of the
young people feel lack of proper
restraint and have too good time
socially. In the gallery on this
occasion were a number OF chill
dren who whispered and audibly
chartered continuously, to the an
noyance OF the congregation, final.
ly making a rebuke from the pul
pit necessity. Not only that an
noyance, but they were allowed to
play in the gallery, run in and out
of the boxes, and have general
good time. Ii parents do not at
tend church services with their
young children and sit with them
when there, it were better that the
entire family spend the time at
| home. l he conduct OF some OF
the Children at La unta last Sun
day evening demanded the pres
cnce OF some OF the sedate church
members in the gallery--or a
policeman. Rocky Ford Enter

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medi
cal fraternity. Catarrh being 4
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and

thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, aud giving the

PROPERTIES IN ELK

One Claim Is the Largest Mining PROPOSE
ton n. V. Edwards Has
Ever Seen.

Rod Legeat's placer ground, In tho Elk
City district of Idaho. and Thomas S.
Hogan's quartz properties in the same
section. are receiving the attention OF
mining men. G. W. Thompson and II. V.
Edwards visited the district a short time
ago and while there took look at both
properties. "As to tho Newsom & Lcggat
Creek companys placer mine says Mr..
Edwards, II can state that it is the largest
mining proposition | have ever seen. The
owners control a gravel bar ranging in
width from 1900 feet to 5000 feet and
three and half miles in length Open
ings in two places show solid bank Of
gravel having depth OF i2s feet, while
bedrock has not yet been reached. There
are four and a half miles Of ditch ON the
property and II carries 800 inches Of water
and gives a pressure of 225 feet. The
company is handling an immense quantity
of gravel, and ] understand that an aver
age Of 20 cents yard is obtained exclu-
sivc OF bedrock pay. which has not yet
been realized. The plant Is running night
and day The ideal facilities for handling
the gravel may be judged from the fact
that the dump affords fall OF $50 feet in
distance Of 900 feet. The company

magnitude and importance than has been
reported. An expert in the employ Of
Patsy Clark Of Spokane was attracted by
the strike and it is said has secured an
option on three claims A brother Of Mr.
Clark has acquired an interest in the
Sherman claims. The Sherman strike
shows that the ores OF the Elk country
carry high values at depth. The pros.

Of the claims. They then returned East,
but soon came back with Samuel Randall,
a mining expert, who sampled the ore OF
the claims and then went East again,
Messrs. Coram and Mailman accompany
ing him.
From that time until the property was
bought vast volume Of correspondence
passed between Mr.. Majors and the East
ern gentlemen. and two or three trips
were made back and forth by the prospect
i've buyers. Finally the negotiations were
brought to head but instead OK buying
nine claims they took 80, paying for them
100000 The deal included the famous
Silver Bow, which is today considered one
OF the best copper mines in Silver Bow
county.
Mr.. Majors and John II. Curtis his
business partner, are heavily interested in
the Red Lion company's mines and plant
in Granite county. They worked the prop
erty full-handcd several years ago. but
have done nothing with il lately.
In 1880 they sold the Bcllone mine, To-
Gated on the hill north OF this city, to
Franklin Farrell for $ss,ooo and the
mine is now valued at $2,ooo.ooo. They
also sold another mine here for Adam
The Farrady claim is located in Dublin
gulch.
During the time Mr.. Majors was absent
from Butte he lived in New York a year
and while there sold to ex Senator War
ner Miller gold mine in California. The
price paid for the property was good
one, but it was no better than the mine
itself, for since its purchase it is said to
have yielded Mr. Miller more than the
sum he put into it.
While IN California Mr. Majors was
president OF gold mining company. a po-
sltion he held until he became convinced
that Butte was the only place Oh earth in
which to transact real business. The,. he
threw up his job and came back to stay,
Mr. Majors has never engaged in the
active development OF any property in
Butte, but has been the avenue through
winch many frst-class mines have been
opened up and their product thrown into
the avenues OF trade
