Hunbolt Hill.

The summer resort located on Ute
creek near the famous Humbolt mine
has been christened by Mrs. A. M. Fergu-
son from Denver "Cloudburst, )" which is
a most appropriate name as the altitude
is 5000 feet above sea level A more
beautiful spot for summer resort than
Cloudburst would be very hard to find.
Nature has beauti6ed Cloudburst with all
the grandeur possible. The little stream
of pure clear water that flows down
through the deep gulch of Ute creek is
most refreshing. The heavy pine forests
covering the creek and mountains with
their sweet fragrance showers forth
health and happiness to the summerites
occupying the camp. The rugged gulch
and mountains stand in grandeur and
awe and makes one feel that they are in
the presence of the Creator of the Uni
verse. The extended scenery of the
mountain peaks and snow covered noun
tains are magnificent and unsurpassed.
In fact Cloudburst is the beauty spot of
Colorado and soon will be the leading
summer resort for Idaho Springs and
Denver. Cloudburst has now ten resi-
dents and will soon have more for the
summer outings.
A. M. Ferguson of Denver will spend
the coming Sabbath at Cloudburst with
his family.

decided that there should be some
changes in the constitution. This con-
sumed considerable time and resulted
in much discussion.
The following committees of Idaho
Springs Circle had charge of the enter
tanning of the visitors:
Entertainment: Miss Liuberger, Mrs.
Bates and Mrs. Bean.
Reception: Miss Ora Bean, Mrs. G.
w. Lamb and Miss Gnnstrom.
Decorations: Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Hold
derness and Mrs. Lynn.
Idaho Springs was represented by the
following delegates: Mrs. Macleod,
Mrs. Sheldon, Mrs. Brown and Mrs.
Johnson. Alternates: Mrs. Seidler, Mrs
Berger, Mrs. Lynn and Mrs. Mabel
Johnson.
An elaborate spread had been prepared
for the visitors and they were served in
the hall. Coffee, cake, ice cream, sand
wiches and other good things were in
evidence, and most enjoyable time was
hau Dy all present.
Mrs. Sheldon and Mrs. Lamb were ap-
pointed to look after the men who had
the nerve to visit headquarters. 1t had
been decided that if a man stro1led into
the meeting place he must be gotten rid
of as quickly as possible, and the manner
in which these two ladies carried out
their part of the program was highly
complimented. They would grab the
curious individual and usher him into an
ante-room, set before his eyes two dishes
of ice cream and large plate of cake.
Then they would leave, informing him
that he was expected to devour every
morsel of food and if he failed to do so it
would be at his peril. 1t is needless to
say that the task was an impossibility
and at the first opportunity he would
quietly make his escape.

Letters are being received every day
from different parts of the state from
miners who are anxious to enter them
selves in the contests. The result will be
that hundreds of men who devote their
time to the blasting of rock in the mines
of the state will be in attendance.
r. H. Price, who is chairman of the
committee ON hand drilling, is a busy
man these days. He has to answer all
correspondence relating to this event and
announces that already several entries
have been received. The names will not
be made known until the entries are
closed. But it is safe to say that drillers
will be in attendance from Gilpin, Boul-
der, Clear Greek, Teller and other coun-
ties.
Silver Plume granite will be used. This
is recognized by all as the hardest granite
in the state, not barring Gunnison, which
at one time had the reputation of being
the toughest. The blocks have been Sc
cured and are in readiness to be shipped
to Idaho Springs. The Colorado & South

Mr.. Price has had men at work during

which is to be used in placing the gran
ite The contest will take place just be-
low the Newhouse tunnel, as will also the
machine drilling contests. 1t was the
intention of the machine drilling COM
mittee to have the men work just oppo-
site the above named tunnel, but as a
harder bluff has been found the work will
be in the same place as that of the hand
drilling.
Entries for the contests can be made up
to and including June 80. The contests
will take place on the morning of July 4,
and drilling will commence at eight
O'Clock in the morning. All men are
supposed to furnish their own hammers
and drills, the full particulars of which
can be found on the first page of Siftings.

Into the
Worlds

1t was an occasion long to be remem-
bered.
The thirteenth annual commencement
exercises of the Idaho Springs high
school were held yesterday in the opera
house, and at the conclusion of the days
program, ten young people who have
been reared the greater part of their lives
in this city, were ushered out into the
busy world.
The graduating exercises took place at
ten O'Clock in the morning. and from
early dawn the young and old had been
busy in preparation for this notable event
in the school history of Idaho Springs.
In fact, they had been busy all week,
and at the conclusion of the exercises,
all departed for their respective homes
with feeling that the school year Just
closed had been most prosperous one.
The opera house was most elaborately
decorated, and the board of education
had left no stone unturned to make the
affair grand success. The class colors
of 1902, lavender and green, were very
much in evidence The stage was hand
some1y decorated and streamers were
arranged in tasty and charming man
ner. The class motto, Finis est nondum,
(The end is not yeti was the first thing
that met the gaze of the people who were
present. The words were worked in
lavender around the green and the sight
was most pleasing.
Long before the time set for the exer-
cises friends and relatives of those who
were to be presented with diplomas were
seeking entrance to the building. Ad-
mittance was only by invitation, and it
had been arranged so that reserved seats
could be secured in advance. The opera
house was packed and it was necessary to
secure additional chairs in order that all
would be cared for,
At ten O'Clock the graduates quietly
took their seats on the stage, and sur
rounding them were the members of the
board of education, the high school
teachers and others. The invocation was
delivered by Rev. Father R. H. Nc
Cabe. He was followed by the mandolin
club, which rendered pleasing selection.
Salutatory and oration "Our Martyr
Presidents" was delivered by Frank F.
Horsch, one of the graduates. The
young man showed that his education
had not been neglected, and his delivery
was exceptionally good.

J. R. McKinnie Of Colorado Springs Highly
E1ated Over Work Accomplished.

Elated Over Work Accomplished.
The following taken from the Daily
Mining Record, published at Colorado
Springs, shows the interest being taken
by residents of that city in the district
surrounding Idaho Springs:
y. R. McKinnie and R. P. Davie have
just returned from Idaho Springs, where
they have been spending several days in
specting the property of the Monarch
Mining Milling, Power and Transporta-
ton Tunnel company. In speaking Of
his trip, Mr.. McKinnie said: We went
through the McClelland tunnel as far as
it has been completed, which is ?, 100 feet.
1t is a magnificent piece of work, and
General Manager George McClelland de-
serves great deal of credit for his part
of it. The tunnel is nine feet wide and
eight feet high, accommodating double
track all the way in. 1t will be pushed
as rapidly as possible to the Freeland
mine, which is situated a mile in from
the portal. We are making a little bet
ter than 200 feet a mouth, but even at this
rate II Will TAKE us year 10 get 10 the
rich Freeland ledge, which we will cut at
a depth of about 7,7oo feet. We have
cut number of good stringers on our
way in. and altogether we are very we'll
pleased with our project.
1.-The McClellaud is destined to become
one of the great tunnels of the state of
Colorado. 1t is heading for the cele-
brated Freeland mine, which has pro-
duced between 81, 600, 900 and S, 900, 900
and has been worked only to a depth of
I, 100 feet. A heavy flow of water was
then encountered, and the mine drowned
ont to a depth of 600 feet The big tunz
mel is being run to drain this vein aud
also provide an economic plan for min
ing the property"

Good Ore IN the Leonard.

Six feet of good pay ore discovered in
what was supposed to be the foot wall is
the latest record of the great Lombard
mine of the Rankee Consolidated NJ M.
& T. Co. at Yankee. From now on a
new reign begins in the camps under the
shadow of James peak. A large force of
men will be put to work on the ore body
and shipments will be made to Central
City. Thus the ore which properly be-
longs to Clear Creek county will be in
cluded in Gilpin's records. The mill will
begin crushing in a few days as over 3o,-
900 tons of ore are blocked out
Work on the Manhattan tunnel is pro-
crossing very satisfactory.
Messrs. Baer & Lees have finished
their contract for 100 feet but have been
allowed to continue at the same price per
foot.
A solid body of ore has been opened up
on one of the company's claims, and was
found at depth of ten feet.

They tried to break the slate prepared
and stood pat. They voted as a unit
each time, and the result was that every
other place got completely shut out.
1t was a most exciting day and at the
close of the district convention of Women
of Woodcraft which was held on We'd
nesday, all were eager and ready to take
much needed rest.
A special train carrying las delegates
from Denver, Golden, Arvada and Morri-
son arrived in the city and no time was
lost in escorting the feminine contingent
to Elks' hall where the convention was
to be held That the delegates from the
capitol city were anxious for the fray
could be plainly seen from the manner
in which they got 10 work. The usual
amount of buzzing was going on, and
when the convention was called to order,
Mrs. Snyder of Golden was selected as
temporary chairman. Then the Denver
women started to get in their work and
named Miss Nellie A. Rand, of Broad
way circle as temporary secretary.
When it came to a permanent chairman
Mrs. Snyder was compelled to step down
and DR.. Irvine of Denver was put in her
place. The secretary being a resident of
that city was allowed to perform the
duties of secretary. Kate Wilson of Sill
yer State Circle, Denver, was elected
attendant.
The principal business was the selection
of delegates to the grand convention
which is to be held in Cripple Greek on
August 2. 1t was evident that fight
was sure to ensue because the Idaho
Springs ladies were of the opinion that
they were entitled to at least one dele
gate out of the six to be elected. Cau-
cuses were held and heated conversa-
tions resulted. 1t was more than two
hours before the test vote was made.
An attempt was made in the meantime
to control the votes from Golden, Ar
vada, Morrison and Central City, thus
electing Mrs. Macleod the local candi-
date. But the Denver women pulled
together, and when the vote was taken
it was found that they had succeeded in
electing their six candidates, whose
names are as follows: Neighbors Teele,
Howell, Sprague, Dryden, Strong and
Fairhurst.

Mining operations have been started
on Soda hill, just across from the Troca-

been working day and night in order to
sink a ten foot hole as soon as possible.
What the outcome of this affair will be
no one at the present time is able to tell
That there is going to be a legal battle
there is no doubt. In this locality there
are two strips of ground which for years
remained vacant Why it was not locat-
ed is not known, unless it was for the
reason that it had escaped the eye of the
public. Some time ago S. N. Simpson
and Harrison Montague made the dis
covery and as they are largely interested
in the surrounding property it was
deemed best to file location certificates.
AS the ground bore evidences of being
rich for placer mining they filed on it
accordingly. On the ground in question
there was house and in it lived a man
by the name of Ed. Powell Last winter
when the assessment was done for the
year 1901, Mr. Simpson employed Pow
ell to do the work. For his services
Powell was 10 receive a deed to the
house, but the agreement was that he
was to move the building by May I of
this year. The date rolled around and
when the owner was requested to vacate
he suddenly changed his mind, and in

priority right over placer. He at once
proceeded to sink the ten foot hole and

Work has commenced on the rebuild

number of men are employed. Manager
Roller has been notified by the New
York offices of the company that
the machinery has been ordered and
that he can look for its arrival in a short
time.
The building will be twice the size it
was formerly, and the capacity of the
work to be done in the future will be
doubled. Leyner air drills will be used,
and it is the intention of the manager to
prosecute work as rapidly as possible:
All the machinery to be installed in the
plant will be of the latest, and inside of
four weeks the mine will be shipping
again.
The out put of the mine was large
when the old shaft house was standing,
but it will be more than doubled when
the new machinery is put in place.
The parties interested in New York
are fully aware of the possibilities of this
property, and intend leaving no stone
unturned to make it one of the biggest
producers in this district.
Improvements are to be made through
out the premises and in short time the
mill will be making concentrates.
