rNnErENpENr DISTRICT.

Both tunnels at the Perigo mine in
independent district are working, prin-
cipally under contract. A portion OF the
60 miners are breaking ore in the slopes.
A sufficient amount of ore is produced
daily to keep the 30 stamps of the rapid
drop mill running continuously day and
night, AIr. Powers being in charge of the
mill.
At the Gold Dirt mine tributers are
producing very fair grade of mill ore.
There are 4 number of prospects at dif-
ferent points in the district being work
ed and some very good ore is being pro-
duced.
North OF Perigo it is quite certain that
a stamp min will be erected in very
short time, as st. Louis and New York
parties have become interested in a
group of veins. The Keleher group Of
veins is another proposition that would
repay parties with capital to take hold
of and develop. One Of the group called
the John S. Dormer vein has received a
sufficient amount of developments to
demonstrate that it would prove pay
ing investment under proper manage
ment.

Dr. Eisenhut.s 1osnd Birthday.

DR.. Johann Jacob Eisenhut, former
resident of Levenworth gulch, Gilpin
county, celebrated his 102nd birthday
last week. April 3rd. Many of his
friends from Denver and here went to
st. Anthony's hospital to congratulate
him and wish him many returns of the
day.
He was born April 3, 1900, at Hensau.
Switzerland. He began the study of
medicine when quite young and after
practicing there for number of years,
he came to the United Ststes in 1860.
In 1870 he came to Colorado. A year
ago his wife died, leaving han no child
rem, and this seemed to dispirit him, so
the Gruetli society, of which he is an
honorary member, placed him in the st.
Anthony's hospital SO as he would have
a comfortable home.

NO ELECTION.
OWING TO A MISUNDER-
STANDING CENTRAL CITY
LOST THE SPRING
ELECTION.
MAYOR AND FOUR ALDERMEN
WILL HOLD OVER UNTIL
NEXT YEAR.

Owing to misunderstanding on the
part Of some of the city officials, where
by the city election was called for the
wrong day, there was no city election the
past week in this city, and neither can
there be one held until the next regular
election in 1903.
1t has always been generally thought
by the majority Of peopie that the city
election was held the first Tuesday after
the arst Monday in April. The city Of
ficials were also under that impression,
and called the election for Tuesday,
April 8. About ten days ago, and when
it was too late to correct the error, it was
found that on April IA, 1881, the charter
had been amended, and the city election
was to be held thereafter on the first
Tuesday in April. This year the first of
the month was on Tuesday and the
election should have been held then, but
the call was out for April 8. and as two
weeks notice must be made for an cleo
tion, it was now too late for new CALL
Several of the city officials then think
ing that no one else would notice it, de-
cided to hold the election on the day of
the call, but owing to several other cities
also making the same error it got into
the newspapers and became known gen.
orally, with the result that Central's di-
lemma was made known, and therefore
the election called eff.
The same condition of affairs existed
in our sister city of Nevadaville, and
they also lost the election.

from the Portland mine in Quartz valley
district. The mine is being worked un-
der lease by local parties.
A fine streak OF ore has been cut into
in sinking the shaft on the Mingo lode
in Lake district at depth Of 300 feet.
The crevice matter at that depth is five
feet in width. The Benzie Investment
company Of Denver, is operating the
mine, as also the Ingalls, mine on Quartz
hill.
Thirty eight lode locations were filed
for record last week with the county

at certain point in the main shaft.
Parties were here last week examin-
| ing the Eureka mine on Prosser noun
| tain. worked number of years ago at a
profit by Alex Taylor Of Black Hawk. 1t
is quite probable that it will again be
worked by company that is being or
ganized for that purpose.
A party of Black Hawk miners are
taking out fair grade of surface quartz
and dirt from the Bonnell mine on Mary
land mountain. The VEN is one of the
number intersected by the workings OF
