ANOTHER
COMPANY
FORMED
Will Develop Group of Claims in Russell
Gulch - Already Shipping.

SulSn - SNlredoy OulPpinRs
1t is seldom that one hears of a mine
that proves to be shipper in the small
period of one month Yet this is the
record made by the Viola Gold Mining
and Development company which is now
operating in Russell gulch.
On the 9th day of October company
was formed which has the above name,
and the same d"y it was incorporated.
Nine claims were purchased, and part of
which number are at the present time
under process of patent.
The management of the company at
once began work in a thorough and sys-
tematic manner and the result has been
more than was expected. Two shafts
have been sunk. one to depth of 90 feet
which gives returns of $40 to the ton and
another to depth of IS feet which has
an average value of SIS
Each of these two shafts have a good
body of ore in sight and while they are
not as large as they will probably be With
little more development work done,
they are large enough to warrant the
management in hauling the ore to mills
for treatment, The 90 foot shaft has
ten inch streak, while the one as feet
deep has a six inch streak.
Robert Hastie, one of the best known
and most successful mining men of Clear
Greek or Gilpin county, is the manager,
and ii is safe to say that the property is
in safe hands. 1t was Mr.. Hastie who
brought the Waltham out as a big pro-
ducer, and for long time he acted as its
manager. He resigned his position as
manager of the Waltham in order that he
might devote his entire time to the new
enterprise. He is much pleased with the
showing that the Viola property is max
ing at the present time and it is now an
assured fact that within short time the
Viola will be one of the heavy payers of
the district.
This company is composed of some of
the best known men in the country. The
vice president is 7. A. Harrington of
Chicago, and he is perhaps one of the
best known and most popular railroad
men in the United States. He is con-
nected with the Western Passenger asso-
citation and his acquaintance extends from
ocean to ocean c. J. Portner, who is
well known in this city, is secretary and
treasurer, while F. N. Burk is president.
The ore that is being taken from the
properties of the Viola company is being
sent to the Bertha mill, where it receives
treatment, and when we state that the
average on both is better than ST. we are
making statement that can be proven.
The prospects of the company are in
deed promising and the successful man
agement of the same will do much in the
direction of bringing the Russell district
before the mining world.

Oh! So Happy.

Miss Mildred Roberts, daughter of L.
L. Roberts of this city, was united in

Company for Empire.

Articles of interpretations of the Kan

it is their intention to prosecute develop
ment work in thorough and systematic
manner.

Again Enters the Ranks.

The French Flag, which is now being
managed by Mr.. Blake, started shipping
the first of the week. This property
passed into the hands of Mr.. Blake and
his associates about four months ago and
since that time great deal of dead work
has been done putting the premises in
good condition. There is large body
of ore in the shaft and from now on, for
ty tons will be shipped daily. The ore is
being treated at the Wilkie mill and the
returns are said 10 be high.
This property is located near Gilson,
and at one time was a heavy producer.
For number of years, however, it was
idle and the work that is now contem-
plated for the mine will do much in get
ting it to the front.

A PLAY WITHIN A PLAY.

A play within a play. This
sounds rather odd, rather jobsen-
ish in fact, though it is not on the
contrary, it is good, wholesome,
humorous story Of American life,
and without a single weird situa-
ton of enigmatic line. To salts
factorily explain one must tell the
story of the play. An actor who
had taken to drink, on account of
the opposition made to him by the
parents of his fiance, goes to the
bad, is no longer able to hold an
engagement, and eventually be-
comes tramp. One day he drifts
into a little Indiana town, on the
front end of a passenger train.
Further back, but on the inside Of
the coaches there is a small thea
trical company. Tramp and COM
paDy get off at the same town, the
latter from choice, the former by
the aid Of the brakeman's boot.
The company is billed to play in
the town a week. The second
night Of the engagement the lead
ing man is called home by the
death Of his wife, there is no one
to fill his place and CONSERVATION
reigns id the little band Of actors
aud actresses; finally it is learnt
that the tramp has been an actor,
and furthermore, has played the
leading part the "Two Orphans"
with Kate Claxton. This is the
play they are to put on this night.
The tramp plays the part, meets
the leading woman Of the company,
his former sweetheart. The COM
plications that arise form the
ground work to the plot of the
greatest scenic comedy drama OF
recent years, Elmer Walters "a
Millionaire Tramp" The third
act shows not alone the exterior Of
country theatre, but the inter.
ior as wellwith the audience seated,
curtain up and performance in
progress, and the effect has never
been accomplished heretofore.
