The principal witness was Robert

asked him to dispose of the watch.
According to his testimony Cordell
took him to W. G.. ScOtt's ieweIry
store and then left him. Later Cordell
came into the store and asked for
ONE reading matter. When arrest ed
WilkenSOn had the watch ia his DOS
session but claimed that Cordell was
the one who stole it. Wilkinson

hundred feet. Mr. Leebrick made him
self valuable by giving first assistance to
the young ladies by dressing their wounds
as best he could on the spot, thus giving
the help that was most needed for their
safe removal to place of safety. 1t was
due to his efforts that the young ladies
could be removed without great physical
pain. After reaching the foot of the
bluff the young ladies were taken in Mr..
Leebrick's buggy to the home of MIR.
G. r. Steuart where Mrs. Steuart did
much to relieve their pain and to dress
their cuts. The young ladies' were able
to be removed to the home of Mr. Carr,
where they are visiting in the afternoon.
DR.. Fraser, of Idaho Springs was called
and dressed the wounds of the young
ladies, making one of the quickest trips
from that point here on record.
Miss Champion and Miss Mills are both
charming young ladies, budding into
womanhood, and the accident to them
has received the sympathy of everyone
in camp. Miss Champion is often spoken
of as the belle of Idaho Springs, and she
has host of friends there who will re-
gret to hear of her injury, though they
shudder 10 think of what might have
been. Miss Mills, since her arrival in
camp, has made many friends who regret
the accident, and they express their
hearts when they say that they are glad
it proved no worse.
Some two weeks ago a lady of Idaho
Springs visited the glacier with her
daughter and friend from Missouri, and
in attempting to climb the bluff at this
point came near meeting an accident
similar to this one. While one of the
young ladies were attempting to climb to
the top she lost her footing and she slid
for distance of fifty feet, but luckily,
caught ON large granite slab before dash
ing over precipice several hundred feet
in height, and from which she could not
have escaped death. However, this is
the only accident that has happened on
the glacier of a serious nature. If those
visiting the glacier will keep on the
north edge there is no danger whatever.
DIR. Fraser says that the young lady SC
severely hurt will recover without any
lameness. Fortunately neither of them
received damaging facial scars, which
would disfgure them for life.

THE YANKEE HILL RAILROAD.

In a private letter from K. A Hall, the
promoter OF our road and who is now at
the Hoffman House in New York City,
says that while the stock market is yer,
dull he is meeting with unexpected sue
cess with his proposition, and most of
the bonds have been placed and that the
road is assured for us should not another
dollar be raised. He is now in hopes of
being able to return SO as to get the work
started in time to complete the road from
Central City to this point this fall, that
being the first work which they will do,
thus assuring us of rail connections in
few months. The connection with the
Moffat line and the extension to Idaho
Springs will be completed next summer
This is certainly good news for this dis.
trict, as the need of railroad connections
are becoming more apparent every day
to the miner The line from Central to
this point is only some fifteen miles in
length and it is believed that it can be
built and put in operation inside of sixty
days from the time the work FIRST COM

miner in this district will turn out with
his pick and shovel at the first turning
of "sod'', and as the road is built for its
entire length on mining ground force
of several hundred men will be added to
the road gang in this way. 1t is doubt
full whether a road was ever projected
that was more anxiously awaitt d than
this one. One old timer here after read
ing Mr. Halls letter said that he felt like
taking his pick and shovel and going
down on the grade and commencing the
work all by himself That is the general
feeling here
With the coming of the road it is re-
ported that the name of Alice will be
changed to Glacier City, and petition
has been sent to Washington asking that
the name of Alice postofice be changed
to Glacier city. 1t is believed that ar
rangements are now completed by parties
here for the Alice mine property and tn t
a townsite of several hundred acres will
be plated. A hotel company is work
ing on the quiet for fifty thousand dol
lar tourist hotel to be built here, the com.
pany being composed of Illinois people
Other extensive improvements are being
projected, and it is probable that thi
will lie the livliest place in the state dur
ing next season. There is no reason
why it should not be so, for the mineral
resources of the camp are far ahead oi
the present conditions to be found here

A PAINFUL ACCIDENT,

Miss Lottie Champion of Idaho Springs
and her cousin, Miss Minnie Mills OF
Iowa, who are visiting with Mrs. w. E.
Carr, had bad accident at St. Mary's
lake last Monday morning that came
near being fatal. They visited the gla-
cier and had climbed up about half way
when they concluded to return to St.
Mary's lake, but not being acquainted
with the surface, started TO return down
the south side, which is very steep for a
distance of some two hundred feet. On
the south side the glacier rounds so grad
uai that one coming down does not at
first notice the steep descent unil it is
reached. On the top of this steep incline
Miss Mills lost her footing and started
down the glacier when Miss Champion,
noticing the danger her friend was in,
made an effort to stop her and in doing
so lost her balance and was unable to
catch herself Almost with the speed of
a sky rocket both young ladies came
tumbling down the glacier over the ice.
They came rolling for a distance of over
175 feet in this fashion until they reach
ed the bottom of the ice and then tumbled
over rs feet Of almost perpendicular
granite before they lit on bench. Miss
Mills had her left leg broken in two
places below the knee and was severely
bruised and cut on many parts of the
body, also receiving some severe scalp
wounds. Miss Champion was severely
cut on the head and body on the rocks
and her right ankle was badly sprained,
and her left limb cut and bruised to her
hip. The young ladies clothing was
torn almost from their bodies in many
places and their dresses were entirely
ruined. 1t is looked on as a miracle by
those who are acquainted with the point
the young ladies' passed over that they
were not killed and badly mangled. Miss
Champion certainly proved herself
heroine in making such an effort 10 save
her friend at her own peril.
Mr.. Geo. A Reynolds who happened
to be at the lake at the time, rushed to
their rescue and gave the alarm, and was
soon Joined by Mr.. Bannister of Denver,
and Mr.. Leebrick, superintendent of the
Matte mine at Idaho Springs. These
gentlemen were soon joined by several
others who helped in every way to carry
the young ladies to the lake, down over
rocks almost perpendicular for several

MANY CONTRACTS BEING LET.

Many contracts are being let on the
different mines of the camp either sink
ing or tunnelling. The North Star peo-
pie are advertising for bids for sinking of
the North Star shaft 23o feet, which will
give the shaft total depth of 500 feet
when completed.
The Cumberland will let a contract of
100 feet of sinking on the Cumberland
mine, which, when completed, will give
them a depth Of 400 feet.
Stefan and Steuart have taken a $50
feet contract on the Manhatton tunnel
and havestarted in on the work.
A contract has been let to Frank Pratt
to complete the upraise in the Gold King
mine, which will be about so feet.
The Gold Anchor people are figuring
on letting $50 feet of sinking of their
shaft, giving it a depth of 500 feet when
completed
The Orc Verde will probably let con-
tract for an uprsise of 800 feet in their
tunnel to connect with the Ross shaft.
The Ninty Four people are considering
the letting of a contract for 500 feet of
drifting on the Stonewall vein, also the
driving of their cross cut tunnel 500 feet
further.
Mr.. Kinney is sinking the Tale shaft
so feet under contract. This shaft will
likely be sunk to a considerable depth
this year.
H A. White has about completed the
so foot contract in the Gold Anchor tunnel
and will probable take another so feet as
soon as this one is completed.
w. E. Carr is making I25 feet per

cut
F. NJ. Smith is finishing up his con-
