accompanying them.
Thomas E. Jenkins, who occupies a
confidential position with county Clerk
Aichele of Arapahoe county, came up
last Sunday and was the guest of L. L.
Roberts. In speaking of the indictments
against his superior, Mr.. Jenkins does
not think that they will amount to any
thing.
Charley Hoon was among the visitors
here last Tuesday and it was good to see
with what oldtime enthusiasm Kilowat
Sheldon met him at the train. Charley
came down to see what effect a strictly
milk diet had upon his solid partner,
as he knew that beefsteak rare and a
drop of blood used to be the menu.
Mrs. Joseph Meisner, Mrs. Louise Boze
and Mrs. F. P. Yenowine and daughter
Blanche, formed party OF ladies from
st. Joseph, Mo-, who visited Idaho
Springs several days this week. The
ladies were shown through the mines of
the Sterling company by Manager Hoban
and were so much pleased with what
they saw that each one became stock
holder in the company.
A large number of the Williams Fork
NJ. and NJ. Co. stockholders recently
inspected the property and returned well
satisfied with the ou tlook. The rich
strike in stope No. was particularly
gratifying, and it has been decided to
erect mill to treat the concentrating
stuff. The location for the same will be
below the dump. There is considerable
irst-class ore sacked and the dump is
estimated to contain fully 5000 tons of
material that can be treated as soon as
the mill is completed.
There are many Fort. Collins people
who are glad to learn that Rev. J. F. Coff-
man and his most estimable wife are to be
located at Eaton for the next few years,
Mr.. Coffman having been appointed to
the pastorate of that town. Mr.. Coffman
had charge of the Fort. Collins Methodist
church for five years, during which time
he and his family made many lasting
friends. Mr.. Coffman has aided in the
building of more Colorado churches than
any other man in the ministry, Fort
Collins being largely indebted to him for
its present beautiful Methodist church
building Collins Courier.
The wedding of Miss Nora O'Donnell
of this city and Mr. S. o. Bunker of Iowa,
which occurred at the home of the brides
mother last Tuesday at noon, was a sur
prise to all but few intimate friends of
the family. Father McCabe of St. Paul S
church officiated. T. G. Holzer acted as
best man and Miss Minnie O'Donnell as
bridesm aid. But a few friends and relat
ives witnessed the happy event. The
pair departed on the afternoon train for
tour of California and other points of in
terest, after which they will reside at
Bristow, Iowa, where the husband is in
business. The best wishes of many at
tend them n.stheir new relation. The
bride is one of Idaho Springs charming
daughters and it is with regret that we
lose her
Win J. Morgan. president of the Little
Richard company, reports that there is
fully SIS, 900 of ore in sight in the COM
pany's property. The work consists
principally in driving crosscuts to open
the various veins in the group, after
which the extraction and shipment of
ore will doubtless be resumed. An ave-
rage of over 400 feet month in tunnel
ing is reported. While the management
is reticent regarding the showing of ore
in the property, it is known that the
Little Richard and Blizzard claims are
looking finely. Their record for produc-
ton in the past is good, and as no stopirg
has been done there is every reason for
belief that after the company has all the
p operty opened, the total output will be
Large.
