SCHOOL TAXES VOTED.
Four Districts Vote For Better
Schools.

Elections to test the sense OF
the taxpayers on the proposition
of a five mill tax for education
were held in the Boles, Gross
Roads, Hickory Valley and Null
berry school districts last Satur-
day. The people of these dis
tricts said they want good schools
by voting the tax by good ma
jorities. This gives these districts
& five mill tax for five years on
all the taxable property within
their limits and will give the
schools a sufficieney OF money TO
carry on longer terms of schools
than have been possible hereto
fore. the schools having depended
upon the donations from the
parish and state authorities.
The patrons of these schools
are to be commended for the
interest they have shown in edu-
cational matters. In years to
come they will see the wisdom of
their actions and will never have
cause to regret the steps thus
taken.

Returned From Sanitarium.

DR.. j. j. Peters returned Tues
day from the sanitarium at
Shreveport. where he went sew
eral days ago to carry his son,
lawson, to be treated for appen-
dicitis. The disease had such a
hold on the boy when he reached
the sanitarium that the physi-
clans there did not think it safe
to perform the operation neces-
sary in such cases. The patient
seemed to improve some after
getting there, but the improve
ment is not permanent and the
Doctor returned with him and is
doing all he can to appease the
suffering. 1t is only question
of days when the boy must
succumb. The Doctor and FAM
lily have the sympathy of the
town in their sad hour.

Election of officers.

The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Idaho Springs Gold Producing
company was held at the general offices
of the company in the Hall block last
Thursday and the following officers elect
ed for the ensuing year:
President-W. c. Marshall, NJ. D.,
Dayton, Ohio.
Vice President-D. w. Landes, Dayton,
oh o.
Secretary-Robert Marshall, Dayton,
Ohio.
Treasurer-E. H. Pfontz, Dayton Ohio.
Manager-W. S. Marshall, Idaho Springs
These officers will constitute the board
of directors. In addition TO the above
there was also present at the meeting and
accompanying the Ohio party on the trip
to this city, Henry Zwick and son, and
Herman Rogge, large manufactures at
Dayton; w R. Funk d. D., manager of
the U. b Publishing house, Dayton; VIM.

Miss Ida NJ. Sellers, of Springfield, Ohio;
Albert Sellers, of Selma, Ohio.
The company is now confining its ef-
forts to the opening and development of
the property in Spring gulch, IA claims.
The company has drainage and trans
portation tunnel. now in 1912 feet, and
work on this will be prosecuted with all
speed, with the ultimate intention of
driving through Chicago mountain. The
Newton will be cut at about 500 feet and
give good transportation service. Some
good veins have been cut, but no effort
made at drifting. 1t has, however, been
decided to drift from the bottom of IoI-
#. shaft on the Torpedo claim, and good
shipping ore is here confidently expected.
The property was closely inspected by
the visitors, and Manager Marshall was
complimented on the thoroughness with
which the work had been done, and all
are well satisfied not only with the pres
ent appearance of the property but also
with the future prospects.

Departed in Peace.

Frankie Oshama, the Japanese cook at
the Beebee hotel in this city. who was ar
rested in Denver last week charged with
attempting to remove mortgage property
from the county, was brought back to
this city and given preliminary hearing
before Justice Morris last Wednesday.
1t developed at the hearing that the Jap
was simply the victim of misplaced con-
fidence, and was the instrument used by
others in getting the goods ont of town.
Emma Schrader, who for some time has
been conducting the Beebee hotel, con-
tracted numerous bills with merchants
to respond to requests for cash in liqui-
dation of accounts. A quiet investigation
revealed the fact that the landlady was
packing up her goods and shipping them
out of town by freight, and this action
aroused suspicion. Messrs. Mellor &
Peterson, Lysle Mason and There & Co.,
three of the h eaviest creditors, pounced
down upon the hostelry and attached
everything in sight, but not until some
1900 pounds of freight had been shipped
and the Jap cook had disappeared. A
wire to the Denver authorities captured
the goods at the Colorado & Southern
freight depot and when the Jap went to
call for them he was arrested. When the
boxes were opened a varied assortment

Rev. ]. F. Coffman announces that to-
morrow will be the third anniversary of
his coming to Idaho Springs to fill the
pulpit of the NJ. f. church. Next week
he will attend conference at Christ church
Denver. He states that during his three
years ministry here the church has kept
pace with the city. There have been
difficulties to surmount during that time.
The first year there was an epidemic of
smallpox, diphtheria and scarlet fever,
which resulted in the closing of the
church for three months, by order of the
board of health, and this year the strike
has decreased the membership TO a con-
siderable extent and the receipts have not
been up to the average. Last winter the
church attendance taxed the seat capacity
and the prospect for an unusually sue
cessful year was very fattering. 1t is not
improbable that Mr.. Coffman will be as
signed to another field, as he has been
here year longer than usual; but that
rests with the bishop, of course Mr.
Coffman started into preaching at Idaho
Springs 80 years ago this month, remain
ing two years. He is well remembered
by some of our oldtimers. Since that
time he has preached all over this state
and for three years was located at Lara
mie, Wyo.

M. w. Tanner is gradually getting his
cy yanide process i'll shape and IN the near
future will have demonstrated conclu-
sively what can be done in the way of
cyaniding the ores of these two counties,
Clea: Creek and Gilpin. Many exhaust
i've tests have been made of the ores of
Empire, Yankee hill and other sections
surrounding us, besides the Waltham and
other Gilpin county properties. In addi-
ton to this, the experiments have covered
different lots of iron tailings secured from
different Mills. While the results have
in the main been kept secret, still it is
known that Mr.. Tanner is not discour-
aged. On the contrary, he has finished
building a new furnace at the rear of his
analyzing room in the Coddington block
and made other additions. Harry Nc
Neill, one of the best skilled cyaniders in
the country is conducting the expert
men,s 1t is rumored that an extensive
cyaniding plant at this place is in con-
temptation and which will revolutionize
things in measure. Ores and tailings
now shipped to smelters for treatment
will be purchased and put through the
works here, thereby giving the shipper
the benefit of the freight charges saved.

The annual report of the Big Five Fed
Grafton shows that during the fiscal year
just closed 2oS61z feet had been run in
the different properties operated by the
company in Clear Greek and Boulder
counties and in the southern part of the
state. OF this amount of work, Idaho
Springs comes in for its share. AS the
company has recently started 5ooo-foot
tunnel contract here, next year the report
will doubtless show more performed in
the line ofdevelopment, and we trust that
to that will be added something in the
line of profits realized. The federation
has started in upon a line of operation
that, ifcarried out upon the lines SO far
followed, is bound to result in success.
In addition to the tunnel work done here,
there is TO be added the installation of
power plant and the construction of
