Stockholders Liable.

The Court of Appeals at Denver de
cided in the case of Buck VS.. Jones
that the organizer of a company is
liable for judgment against such com
pany if it is capitalized for more than
its value. This is the first decision of
its kind in the states history. ]. p
Buck sued the stockholders of the Col
den Horn Mining and Milling Com
pany to recover judgment previously
rendered, the capital stock of which
was s1,250,000 The judgment was
s310.75. The Court of Appeals held
the incorporators individually LIABLE
and the opinion says
According to the complaint the de-
fendant received stock in considera|
tion of property to which he had nd
title. Having made no discovery upoi
the ground. he acquired no right ID
it, and his deed to the company com
veyed nothing. By reason of his wani
of title any valuation of the property

made by the complaint, if established
by proof, entitled the plaintiff to tn{
judgment he sought, and il was a

Some Gown Effects.

A pale-green zibeline has a long
skirt richly appliqued at the top and
down the fiat seams with broadcloth
of the same hue. The contrast in
material is decidedly smart. The
bodice has blouse fronts garnitured
with folds of panne velvet of deeper
green overshot with black baby velvet
ribbon. These fronts open over a
vest of white chiffon done in soft foldB
and spangled in silver and strapped
with black velvet ribbon an inch wide.
A distinguished street costume, re-
Gently from Paris, in steel gray cam
els hair. is appliqued in a very light
shade of the same material.
A black broadcloth has q blouse
heavily embroidered in Persian de-
signs and colors. The skirt is ap-
pliqued in black zibeline, deliberately
stitched. The sleeves are of the
broadcloth, appliqued near the shoul-
der with the zibeline, with the lower
fullness confined in a band embroid-
cred in the Persian design and colors.

New Map of Cripple Greek.

The Washington correspondent of
the Denver News says:
There is soon to be issued by the
United States Geological Survey an
exhaustive typographical map of the
Cripple Creek district. A surveying
party has been in the field there sew
eral weeks collecting data. 1t is the
departments desire to make com
plete investigation of the district, es-
pecially in regard to its economic ge
ology, for the purpose of supplement-
ing the old Penrose report, which is
now somewhat out of date. The pos
sibility of completing this analysis lies
in the success of the effort now being
made by State Mines Commissioner
Harry A. Lee to get the mining men
of the Cripple Creek region to sub
scribe an amount in the neighborhood
OIL $4,000. If this amount is raised
the department here stands ready to
add a similar amount and proceed
with the analysis. The typographical
maps will be completed at the sole
expense of the survey, and will form
the nucleus of the folio which will
eventually be gotten out.

WHAT is BEING DONE
IN THE MINING WORLD
Cripple Creek Mines viii Last.

James F. Burns, president of the
great Portland mine, was interviewed
at Cripple Creek recently and said;
'The surface has only been
scratched in the camp and long after
our children's children are dead Grip
pie Creek will be on the map as one
of the great gold districts of the
world. In taking this view of it l
judge from the immense showing we
have in the lower levels of the Port
land. Every few days new ore bodies
are being encountered and instead of
three or four feet of ore which we
were proud of in the upper levels, we
have now ranging in width ore bodies
from 20 to 100 feet in width, and the
ore shoots are fully as long as they
were in the upper levels. The grade
of the ore, however, is not as high.
l could mention dozen mines in Grip
pie Creek that few years ago could
only show from foot to three or four
feet of pay rock that are now mining
from ten to forty feet of ore. There
is no question in my mind but that
with greater depth the ore bodies will
increase in width. ! can safely state
that there is more ore in sight in the
different mines throughout the camp
to-day than there has been at any
time in the history of the greatest
gold camp on earth"

The --latest Ideas

The flare is entirely eliminated from
the skirt of the new walking suit.
SoTIe dressy winter waists are of

Full-blown pink roses form one OF
the most charming of the new band

Pink taffeta, mink and Irish crochet
lace are employed in the making of a

A pretty all-white hat in French
sailor shape is of beaver felt with
trimmings of white grapes.
Materials of a reasonably heavy
weight are ell lined with soft silks
now, but for diaphanous stuffs like
chiffon, net. crepe de chine. ETC., taf
feta is still used.

Up-to-pate Sofa Pillows.

The newest sofa pillow covering is
of velvet or suede ornamented with
applique designs in leather of con-
trasting tones. A moss-green velvet is
appliqued with the rich-hued disks of
the sunflower marked by the pyro-
graph with brown shadings. Foliage
and stems are also burned. A poppy
design in red and suede has a back
ground of tan-colored suede. Pictur
esque heads cut from leather and
brought into relief by the pyrograph's
etchings are also appliqued on suede.
Both sides of the pillows are of the
leather laced closely with thongs at
the sides and decorated at the corners
with leather tassels.

SILK Evening Gloves.

The elbow sleeves of the summer
forced all womankind to take an in
terest in silk gloves and openwork
them, and most of us have them yet
as fresh as ever, for when the ther-
mometer was below 20 degrees we
needed something warmer than net
work, even if it was in August. But
take comfort! We may even yet wear
those expensive mitts. Word comes
from Paris that the fancy silk glove
is considered smart for dressy indoor
occasions. Ladies abroad like them
far better than the long white kid
glove.

Peculiar Combination.

ruffs is composed of white plated
chiffon ruffles that fall gracefully
about the shoulders. This is not Pc

are composed of latticed cords (soft,

with little tufts of white chenille
showing threads of black. Lest this
