Directors Meeting.

The meeting of the directors of The
Continental Electric Power and Irrigation
Company was held at the office of Cover
nor Haggott, Friday afternoon and was an
important meeting of the company in as
much as it was participated in by the en-
tire directorate. Mr. +. H. Martin, of Mt.
Vernon, New York, president of the COM
pany and also engaged in the wholesale
commission business in New York City,
aud l.. G. Bates of the l.. c. Bates Produce
company of New Haven, Conn, were pres
ent and took an active part in the meeting.
The report of Manager Clough showed
that sixteen men had been employed in
the preliminary work during the month of
June and that an additional force of prob
ably double that number of men would be
procured for the present month
Two or three local people have made ap-
plication for power as soon as the plant is
in operation. 1t is safe to say that the
big proposition will be contracted to its
first minimum capacity before water is
turned over the wheels.
Both Mr.. Martin and Mr.. Bates were
pleased with the progress that has been
made and it looks as if Clear Greek county's
big power and irrigation enterprise was
we'll under way.

task, but will probably be consummated
satisfactorily.
The scarcity of water and the proposed
cancelling of certain licenses present an
other phase that is not very consoling
to either present and past administrations
or taxpayers in general. Those convers-
ant with our municipal affairs for num-
Der of years past remember that we have
paid nearly 1900 for certain water rights,
purchased so the municipality could sell
power, etc, and thereby reap a lucrative
and perpetual revenue, which it was
deemed would be assured by the greater
amount of water obtained If it should
result that we cannot spare water for
those purposes, then we have practically
purchased myth.
1t is to be hoped, however, that this
statement of conditions will lead our citi-
zens, one and all, to carefully husband our
water resources. By so doing, the city
administration will be able to properly
determine how great an outside revenue
can be safely derived, and great benefit
will result all around.

Bob Price Has a Close Call

Last Thursday afternoon, in company
with young boy by the name of George
Chapman, Bob Price left for Denver 10
to take some horses to the city, driving
them hitched to a lumber wagon. Owing
70 the heat they decided to travel by night.
Shortly after midnight they reached point
about two miles east of the Townsend
ranch, and decided to make halt in order
to eat lunch which they carried with
them. In climbing down from the seat 10
the bed of the wagon, a revolver slipped
from Prices pocket the hammer striking
the side of the bed, discharging the weapon.
The ball struck Bob's right arm lust be-
low the elbow, coming out on the opposite
side, breaking several of the bones and
severing the arteries. Although consid-
erably frightened the boy at once set
about to dress the wound and to stop the
flow of blood as best he could, and the two
managed to make their way back to the
Townsend ranch where the injured man
was made as comfortable as possible.
Young Chapman came to Idaho Springs
with all possible haste and notified u
George Acheson and Marshall O'Rourke
who left Immediately for the ranch. They
found Price suffering considerably and
weak from the loss of blood but after the
wound was given surgical attention the
patient was left resting quietly. Early
yesterday George Straub went to the
ranch with carriage and brought the pat
lent to this city where he will be given the
best of care. While it is thought that am
putation will not be necessary the injury
will no doubt give the man considerable
trouble for some time.

The SmGItGrS May Close
But the Chamberlain =DiIling-
ham Company Will Pur=
chase All Ore Offered.

The strike that is now on at the Denver
smelters and which may extend to other
sections of the west has naturally caused
concern in this and other districts pro-
ducing ores treated by those processes.
The question of a market means as much
to the delivers for ore as to the producers of
wheat or corn. Deprived of a market,
capital is unable to realize and the laborer
is thrown out of employment. Thus the
effects of a strike are sometimes far
reaching, affecting not only the wealthy
in dollars and cents but those whose chief
resources are brain and Drawn.
The closing of the market for the major
portion of the smelling ores of the Clear
Greek section, if continued for any length
of time, would naturally have tendency
to discourage those people who are actively
at work in the district, whether producing
ore or prosecuting development work. 1t
is true that considerable ore produced
here can be treated at the Argo and Car
penter smelters and that considerable of
the values are saved upon the plates, still
the district is so large and the ores SO
varied that we are bound to be more or
less crippled by the curtailment of the
market.
1t is good news, therefore, to learn that
the Dillingham; Ore Purchas-
ing company, which has branches in this
city and at Georgetown and Black Hawk,
has decided to purchase right along.
While the big stacks of the Grant and
Globe no longer pour forth the huge vol
umes of smoke with which we are familiar
and the smeltermen are taking a costly
vacation, after Gripping their employers
many thousands of dollars, the production
and purchase of the precious metals in
these two counties at least will continue
undated.
1t is not known how long the smelters
will be closed, but there is a reasonable
assurance that they will soon be operating
sufficiently to allay anxiety as to a glut of
ore and the necessary cessation of pur-
chases.

The New Siftings Building.

The excavation and foundation for the
new Siftings building has been completed
and work on the walls commenced, as
large force as can be conveniently hand
led being on the work. Material is being
delivered as fast as it is needed and there
will be no delay in the construction in this
regard. The completed plans demonstrate
that when completed this office will have
one of the most modern office buildings in
the west and a building that will be a
credit to the town.

JBwHsH RESIDENTS ACTIVE.
Movement to Help Those of Their Race
 Suftering~in Russia,

IeQSS1ds
 The JeW1sn resluenLs or this city have started movement to aSSls those of their race who are being abused and maSSacred in certain sec tionS of Russia. This movement will not only consist of monetary assist ance, but protest will also be sent tc the American minister ill Russia against the outrages perpeuated oI the Jewish people. Last night there was a meeting of delegates from the following lodges in the American band room and plan of action was mapped out: Star lodge, l. O. B. A.; Glad stone lodge, O. B. A.; Brass City lodge, O. B. A; Hebrew Benefit asso- ciation; Working circle, Local No 26 Waterbury Ladies' association.
 It was voted to hold mass meeting on Sunday ait City hall where funds will be raised to assist the surviving members of the families of those mas sacred at Kishinev about three weeks ago. Speakers from New York vii be here and many prominent citizens of this city who are not of Jewish orig in will be present to take part in the movement. It is expected also that attendance. A committee was ap pointed last night to make arrange ments for the mass meeting.
 Apropos of the above the following from one of the New York papers o1 this morning will be interesting:
 The Jewish Daily, News of this city received the following cable message from it's London correspondent yester day: ....
 ''NIay l1.--Massacre at Tirospol, sim liar to Kishenev. Great number killed
 Tirospol is seven miles from hisn' enev, in Russia. There is large Rus sian fortress there gaITisoned by 3 considerable force. Two weeks age the Jews of the place told the Russian governor they feared massacre ano asked his protection, which was prom ised
