the proposed ordinance drawn up by City Attor-
ney Sabin in that its true meaning and sense

ANOTHER NEW Or
GANIZATION.

The Conner Mining Company is a new organiza-
ton which has just gotten to work upon property
secured by it in Spring Gulch, the property ac-
quired being the Heddingsburg, Dora A, Conner
and Conner Extension claims. The parties princip-
ally interested in the company being residents of
northern Illinois. The shaft is present 100 feet
but 800 feet will be added to this at an early date
and for this purpose the property has been equip
ed with gasoline hoisting plant suitable for sink
ing distance of 1000 feet if necessary. Stations
will be cut and drifts started each 100 foot point
is reached in the sinking of the shaft A good
body of ore is showing which carries values of
over SIoo. per ton The being identical with
that coming from the old Fraction, and in fact the
Conner company claim that their property is an ex-
of the Fraction, and from samples of the ore ex-
hibited with the values that it carries, would in
dictate that the claim of the company is correct
The Conner Company is organized under the Colo
RADIO Laws with capitalization of 100000 and it
is reported that the entire capital stock has been
subscribed for. w. f. Conner is the Manager of
the new company.

Eastern Parties Now Interested.

James Bowden has a number of men at work on
the Josephine property, which is situated on Clear
Creek between the Lincoln and Stanley mines.
The property worked by leasers number OF
years ago at which time good body of ore was
encountered, but rather than work it in a system
attic manner, they gouged out the mineral and did
not keep up their development work Mr.. Bowden
has recently interested eastern parties in the
enterprise, who have started active work in
watering the property and installing plant of
machinery, so that hereafter the property will be
worked in a proper manner, commensurate with
the showing of mineral, as the pay streak is from
two to four feet wide, with some of the streak be-
ing of smelling grade but the greater part is
good grade of concentrating matter

WORK ON THE CEN
TURION TUNNEL.

w H. Metz, President and Russell Prentice,
Secretary and Treasurer of the Centurion Tunnel,
were here during the past week to arrange for act
i've operations upon their property. The tunnel
has reached distance of 23o feet from its portal
and recently there was encountered a good vein
both in size and the quality of the mineral which
was found
This company owns 22 claims and have Just
closed arrangements whereby they secure control
of the Summit, Champion and Comstock Lodes.
The Summit is considered by conservative mining
men to be the extension of the famous Donaldson,
which has record of having produced from a
quarter to one-half million of dollars in the past
The Champion is a separate property, from which
considerable mineral has been shipped and from
where leasers are now taking out in paying
quantities.
The Centurion tunnel will cut the Champion
vein within the next 100 feet and at a depth of
about so feet below the present lowest workings
ON that property, which will also give a depth of
about 400 feet from the surface the dip of the
vein. At point about $50 feet beyond the present
breast of the tunnel the Donaldson will be encoun-
tered which will give depth of feet from the
surface and open an immense amount of stopping
ground.
The property will be equipped at once with up
to date plant of machinery, including a compress
or which will greatly facilitate the prosecution of
the work in driving ahead the tunnel.
The location of the property is ideal one
starting as it does upon Trail Creek and running
under Donaldson mountain where it will open
bodies at greater depth than any as yet uncovered
in that section

MONTCLAIR CLUB
VS.. IDAHO SPRINGS

very interesting game of basket ball was played
between the Montclair high school boys and the
BOYS team of this city last Friday evening at the
Trocadero before large and interested audience.
The game resulted in the defeat of the local team
by score of Io to 10. Those who are familiar
with the game declare that the local boys did much
finer playing than the visitors and that several
things happened that lost them the game, but not
without first covering themselves with glory At
the end of the first half of the game the
IA to 7 in favor of the Idaho Springs boys, and
their admirers offering to bet all kinds of
sweet things that they would end victorious
Some dissatisfaction was expressed during the
evening in that Tracy who was coaching the locals
favored the Montclair boys in several close plays.
The Montc1air boys, even, remarked the favorit-
ism shown so plainly by Prof. Clark for them,
whom they supposed would be most jealous for the
Idaho boys.
Everyone speaks in high praise of the gentle
manly bearing of the visitors. The line up was as
follows:
Montclair-Center, F1ickenstein; r. f., Walters;
l. f. Cooper; T. g., Bowler l. g., Piers; $, Reming-
ton.

Marriages, births, divorces and deaths are all
matters of appropriate mention in every well regu

interest in the welfare of your local paper bring
to this Office any such items of intelligence as the
public generally are interested in and you will
please them as well accommodate us.

KILLED DOG THAT SHOWED
SIGNS OF RABIES

Port Edwards, Oct. 29-E. B. Gar
rison had an exciting time with his
dogs on Thursday evening. He was
out near the barn where his old dog
approached him with savage growls,
frothing at the mouth, and showing
every sign of rabies. Mr.. Garrison
commanded him iE the usual way to
Gle down" but without effect. He
then took wheel-barrow which was
near by and placed it between the
dog and himself and as the animal
approached tipped it over on him and
before he could escape from under it,
made quick steps to the house, where
he secured gun and lantern and put
an end to the ferocious beast. The
next morning his little puppy showed
similar signs and it was also killed.

STRONG EVIDENCE OF FAITH.
John E. Daily Guarantees That Hyomei Will
Cure the Worst Case OF Catarrh in
Grand Rapids.

When one of the most reputable
concerns in Grand Rapids guarantees
that medicine will effect cure or
he will refund the money, it speaks
volumes as to the merits of that
remedy. 1t is in this way that John
e. DAILY is selling Hyomei, the treat
ment that has made so many remark
able cures of both acute and chronic
catarrh in Grand Rapids and vicinity.
Hyomei is not pill nor is it liquid
that has to be taken with tablespoon
or wineglasS. just breathe it by the
aid of an inhaler that comes in every
outfit and benefit will be seen from
the first treatment.
1t destroys all germ life in the air
passages and lungs and enriches and
purifies the blood with additional
ozone. 1t cures catarrh of the head
and throat, or Of the stomach, liver
and kidneys. Wherever mucous men,
brane contains catarrhal germs, there
Hyomei will do it's work of healing.
When using this treatment, the air
you breathe will be found like that on
the mountains high above the sea
level, where grow balsamic trees and
plants which make the air pure by
giving off volatile antiseptic fragrance
that is healing to the respiratory
organs.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$l.00, and includes an inhaler, dropper
and sufficient Hyomei for several
weeks treatment.
Remember that il Hyomei does not
cure you John e. DAILY will refund
your money. This is a good time to
cure catarrh by this natural method
and prevent catarrhal colds that are
so common at this season.
