DISTRICT
IS ALL
RIGHT
Richard Willis, of Colorado Springs Says
We Have Bright Future.

Richard Willis of Colorado Springs
was in the city this week looking after
his various mining interests. He is con-
nected with the Corononation Gold
Mining and Milling company. In an in
terview in Colorado Springs after his re-
turn home, Mr.. Willis had the following
to say regarding his property and others
in the district:
81 have succeeded in getting consider
able capital into the Coronation Gold
Mining and Milling company tunnel
proposition, situated at Freeland, and
contemplate putting in air compressors
during the summer. The property is
very promising and assays are being
coming into the breast. A nice streak of
lead ore is showing at the bottom of the
shaft at a depth of 90 feet. 1t is not
proposed to exploit this, and develop
ment is being prosecuted vigorously in
the tunnel. The whole district is in a
state of activity, and the eastern visitors
were much surprised with the production
being made from the many mines visited.
Amongst others the Stanley and the Sea
ton Mining and Milling company proved
the immense ore bodies in sight and
shipping. Idaho Springs has been full
for many weeks with both eastern and
western visitors who are the means of
putting much added capital into the old
est and one of the surest of all mining
camps.
The Freeland, Yankee, Argentine and
Chicago camps are amongst the most
active, and this year should show great
advance for Clear Creek both for devel-
mept and production.

GOLD
CORD IN
GOOD ORE
Company Opens Up Good Body of Ore
Through Little Jenny.

nrouSn Little Jenny.
Manager Frank Straub, who is work
ing lease on the tunne! of the Little
Jenny, reported this week that he had
cut another rich vein. 1t will be remem-
bered that few weeks ago, or shortly
after the lease had been secured, that
rich vein was cut.
At that time it was thought that the
ore body wss on ground belonging to
the Gold Cord Mining and Milling COM
pany. Judge Whiting, manager of the
Hyattsvil1e company, contended that it
was on his ground, and i'll order to settle
the controversy, the parties had survey
made. 1t was found, however, to be on
the Little Jenny, and accordingly Mr..
Straub turned the ore which had been
sacked over to Judge Whiting. Work
was then prosecuted in another direction
and the strike made this week is said to
be on the property belonging to the Gold
Cord people. The ore pans freely, and
from one small sample which Mr.. Straub
panned, very large number of colors
came to the surface. The assays gave
good returns and the ore being taken out
will warrant shipping
This strike means much for the Gold
Cord Mining and Milling company. The
manager has all along contended that if
he would start tunnel from the Little
Jenny with the object of boring in under
the Old Lexington, which is owned by
his company, that good body of ore
would be opened up, and that at a good
depth. The tunnel is now in about IFS
feet, and during the last three weeks
they have succeeded in getting in on their
own territory. The ore was found in the
breast of the tunnel, and the vein is wide
enough to furnish large quantity of ore
for the company's mill
About ten tons of rich ore is being
taken out daily from the Lexington
This is sent to the mill where it is treated.
1t is not definitely known just what this
ore runs, but the returns are said to be
high in both gold and silver.
The tunnel which is being driven on
the Little Jenny will be continued for
distance of about 1900 feet, or directly
under the blacksmith shop of the Lex
ington. Then an upraise will be made.
The Gold Cord people have one of the
best propositions in the district. The
lexington was one of the earliest produc-
ers of this district, and for output, has a
coed record. 1t WIS acquired by the
present company last November, and ever
since that time there has hardly a day
passed that paying ore has not been sent
to the mill for treatment.

The School Election.

The school election is being held this
afternoon in the Lowell building. Be.
cause OF the fact that there is only one
candidate before the people, there is
little interest being taken.
However. DR.. Bull the lone candidate
is receiving very complimentary vote
as he has been an efficient and popular
membea of the board during his term OF
Office.
The board OF directors decided BY
resolution to vote on the issuance Of
$50 600 worth OF bonds. This was done
in order to save expense, no more bonds
to be sold than required for actual ne
cessitiss. Az the issuance of bonds
costs considerable money, it was a wise
resolution on the part of the board.

the most strenuous efforts of Of
fetal Washington, in the war de-
partment, were made to secure his
release on one pretext or another.
These efforts have never for one
moment been abandoned. Carter
has made the most desperate efforts
ever made by rich and pampered
criminal to break down the bars Of
Leavenworth prison to which he
was sentenced for a Jail term. Very
lately two very rich men OF the
city where the frauds were COM
mitted skipped to Canada, as things
were getting warm for them, as ac>
cessories to the big thieving. To
the everlasting credit Of the gov
ernment, those men have been ar
rested and are now in Montreal and
without doubt will be extradited.
1t has been through the keen
watchfulness OF the press that Car
ter has not been released long
before this. He has had powerful
friends on the outside. These have
been made to disgorge over 500,
900 of his stolen wealth, and yet
there are those in government
circles fully appraised of the fact
that the government has recovered
money from Carter, who even now
want him released. 1t is to be
hoped that these rich and powerful
criminals will be given the full
benefit of the law. If they are not
and justice is subverted it will bring
the courts of the country in still
greater contempt Of the people than
they are now held.

DEATH OF PROF. RICHARDSON

A Colorado Pioneer Passes Away
At Morrison. ...WelI Known
to All Old Gunnisonites.

Prof. Sylvester Richardson, known to
almost all of the old Gunnisonites OF 10
years ago aud to many people in this
valley, died at Morrison, Colo, May 4.
News has only reached this city OF his
death and it has come by round about
way, through the Moab Times.
Sylvester Richardson was one OF the
fret settlers in Gupnison and was at one
time counted quite rich. All OF his for
tune he lost in real estate speculation
and he left Gunnison for Utah, settling
In the Moab valley as one OF the pioneers
OF that section of the country. He had
. postoffice named after him and was =
man Of more than ordinary parts. The
latter years OF his life were embittered
by being charged with shortage in his
postoffice accounts.
He was a pioneer In all that the term
implies and was an advance guard IN
Colorado and the west generally.
He was married, while resident Of
Gunnison, to Mary Muir Richardson,
poet of state reputation who ten to hf-
teen years ago contributed largely to the
Colorado press.
Very lately the deceased was engaged
in locating oil lands in Utah, and 1t was
while he was engaged in this work that
he took the cold which resulted in his
death.

In the convention of county
judges an attorney from the casts
ern end Of the state wants the dis>
trict courts abandoned and the
powers of the county courts enlarg-
ed. This is a wise thought and
would save many Thousands to the
tax payers. The attorney states
that we have superabundance OF
courts. He is right. Why should
not our county courts transact all
the business Of the county and the
county attorney be the public
prosecutor. Justice has long road

peal can be taken to the distric,

1t is another good suggestion
made by contributor to one OF
the Denver papers, who stated
that the terms Of the justices OF the
supreme court are too long. He
says in many states where the JUS
tices are elected for term OF only
six years, their work is within
thirty days of being up at all times,
while in this state it is at all times
between from two to three years
behind. These are some things
which the tax payers have not cam
vassed and which are worth a

Speak Wen Of Your Town.

II liz not the size of the town, bu,
its character that makes II n de-
sirablc place to live In. A live
and prosperous town Is n desirable
one, and town may live and pros
per and yet be small. Every citi-
zen In town should be Interested
In its prosperity.
One Of the ways to help your
town is TO speak well Of II. II Is
true patriotism to speak well Of
your town and self interests ms
well. AS man who speaks III of
his family lowers both himself
and his family In the estimation OF
others, 30 does n man who cares
little for his own town and COM
munity seldom care for his country
The man who is respected by 9TH
crs respects himself and his neigh
bors, and patriotism begins at
home.
Another way to help your town
Is to do all you can to bcautify IT,.
Bcautify your town property all
you can, and then bcautify the
street.
BE friendly to everybody and
courteous to strangers. Your civ
ility will help to make good i'm
prcssions and will be carried
away and cherished. Never for
get that you are part OF the town
and that your department helps to
make up the strangers estimate Of
the place.
Sell all YOU can and buy oil you
can. II you have means invest II
In something that will give cm-
ployment to somebody. Always
cheer on the man who goes In for
improvement. Do not kick on a
proposed improvement simply be-
cause 1t Is not at your door. A
town that is improving Is also
spreading out. II rich man starts
n project encourage him. II a
poor man starts help him.
Don't be afraid to thrust YOUR
hand down in your pocket to help
a public enterprise. More towns
have been killed by such rcfusals
than in any other way. The citi-
zcns of any prosperous town are
always public spirited and united.
Stand togcth. Work together for
the interests Of the whole town.
Always stand ready to do your
best. Don'tgrumble and lose time
prophesying failure, but help TO
make every enterprise a success.
