who is a leading official at the mint
there gave very courteous attention
to the party while visiting it. Miss
Brock assembled Pixies Peak and en-
conntered wonderful snow storm
on top, which INSTRUCTED the views
but there were climbers of scenic
beauty in ascending and descending.
There was one trent after another
in the way Of canon, waterfall and
Garden of the Gods. The heavy
storms there have made dangerous
washouts, and delayed travel to
some extent The party was ex
pecting to go to Cripple Creek be

mines there
The Misses Jessie and Ruby Nor
ris of Chenille have joined the par
ty and will be with them in Califor
MIA Miss Jessie who is now a doc

Chief Of Police Price received a
postal card fran his brother Evans

the summit of Pixies Peak, 14,l47
feet high, August 9TH is com
ie card with picture of two of the
little donkeys of those mountains,
illustrative of the old way of climb
ing Pixies Peak before the railroad
was built. The sentiment is when
shall we three meet again. Mr..
Price is taking his time to the trip.
and seeing as much as any man can.
He will be gone for two months, and
visit many points in the north not
reached by the other visitor on the
homeward journey.
A letter from Mrs Poster states
that she and Mr.. Posten are keep
ing well, and having the trip OF
their lives. They did not go up
Pixies Peak but visited all the
points of interest lower down, and
are charmed with the country. Mrs
Posten is so pleased that she would
like to make her home there If the
children and the rest of the family
were along.
A card from Mr. Garrison was re-
ceived Sunday by the family. 1t
was mailed at Pixies Peak also.
John Cobun flashed a telegram
from Pixies Peak while he was on
the summit in a raging snow storm.
A report was circulated here Fri
day that Ray Ollie was married
somewhere on the trip and was on
the wedding journey That he had
planned this before he started and
that was the reason he and Mr..
Glasscock would not stay with the
rest of the party, but his sister does
not credit this report She had a
letter from him on that day and
SAYS there was no intimation of his
having bride along.
The party is evidently enjoying
the trip to the fullest extent and
getting all that is to be had by any
party of excursionists to the Rocky
Mountains and Pacific coast.
The many friends of Mr.. Posten
are especially delighted to know
that he is getting along SO well start
ing so soon after serious illness.
