Mrs. Achsah AIIen-.AQed lO2 Years.

1t is seldom one lives to see d hun
dred years, and when one lives be-
You'd that it seems fitting it should
be given more than d passing notice.
Mrs. Achsah Kingsley Allen was
born Aug. 10, 1901, in Barre, Vt.
We know but little of her early life,
except that it is was passed amidst
hardships and privations, incident to
those early times, when only by hard
work and economy the people were
able to obtain the mere necessities OF
life, and she early formed those
habits of industry and trugality,
which were q marked characteristic
OF her after life. She possessed re-
markable courage and perseverance,
never shrinking from anything she
considered her duty, kind and gener-
GUS almost to fault, ever ready to
help those in need or suffering as far
as her means and time allowed. She
had the sole care of her aged mother
for several years, with only her hands
and strong will for their support,
which care required labor, patience
and self-sacritice. Her mother was
totally blind over seven years previ-
GUS to her death, which occurred in
May 1855, in her 98th year.
After her mothers death she was
married to Mr.. Eliakim Allen of Wa
terbury Center and lived with him
until his death. After that she lived
alone several years. She was a zeal
GUS and active member of the Metho-
dist church a large part of her life,
until feebleness and infirmities of age
compelled retirement. Her faith in
God ever remained strong. She was
ever read y to talk of His goodness
and her assurance of His care and
protection. Often when clouds
seemed darkest she would repeat,
"The Lord will provide with the
confidence OF little child. Five
years ago last March her friends took
her to Stowe to the home of Mrs. Cor
nelia Seaver, niece, who has cared
for her, with the assistance of a few
other relatives, until she passed on to
meet the loved ones on the other side,
Oct. Both, 1908. The funeral services
were held at the Methodist church
Rev. Mr., Evans, the pastor, otficiat-
ing.
Life had been cold and dreary
Shadows SO often and deep;
Spirit SO Storm tossed and weary
U, how she welcomed release.
Call it death? Oh never;
Only happy release
From darkness and sorrow and dscord
To sunshine and pleasure and peace"

This Famous Mine Still Bonanza-Mll
To Be Enlarged.
The Little Matte Mine has been sue
cessful in finding big shoot of ore which
now promises to be better and of greater
value than anything found heretofore,
though this famons mine has a produc-
tion record of between two and three
millions of dollars.
The shoot was cut about 700 feet east
of the Matte shaft in what is known as
the Republic ground. Returns on a
recent shipment show the ore has a net
value of over SG25 per ton for the first
grade. This streak is some four feet in
width in addition to large body of mill
dirt, which is being saved until the re-
pairs are completed on their mill.
DR.. j. M. Smaller, connected with the
company, was here last week from Dem
yer and declared that the present show
ing in the mine is now greater than ever
before and one of the big mines of the
district. The sixth level will now be
pushed shead until the shoot is reached.
The ore shoot has been opened up for
distance of 800 on the surface and it is
now believed by Manager Leebrick that
the ore values continue up to grass roots.
Should the same values be found at the
sixth level the total values will figure up
to several million.
Operations at the Matte mill are sus-
pended because of Chicago creek being
frozen up, but as soon as the weather
moderates the mill will be started, Its
capacity is being increased to 100 tons of
mil ore per day. Experiments are being
made with the cyanide process, and if
proven successful it will be added to the
mill. and the tailings treated, Their
present saving does not exceed 10 per
cent of the ASSAY value. The mill dirt
runs from S. to $40 per ton.

NINE FLOAT.

The Santa Fe company, operating the
Gold Treasure group in the Cascade dis
trict, is reported as having opened up
five feet of ore averaging $50 per ton,
while kidneys are found that run several
hundred dollars per ton. The ore carries
gold, copper and lead values and is a
most desirable product
The Omar company, which has been
driving a tunnel in Hamlin gulch up
Fall River for some time, has come upon
the Paris vein at distance of 600 feet.
1t is showing six feet of $50 ore with
high per centage of lead. The company
will begin drifting on this lode at once
and arrangements are now under way
with a view of installing machinery.
Great depth will be gained
Until the return of w. E. Renshaw,
manager of the Consolidated Gem prop
critics, nothing will be done looking to the
resumption of work on that noted vein
in the Newhouse tunnel, He goes to
Pittsburg to consult with his hackers re-
garding operations of the Gem mines and
the taking up of certain options which
would soon expire.
A report is current that some excellent
ore has been encountered on the Comet
mine. Some assays made run from SIoo
to 81 900 for the silver alone, with some
gold and lead values.
w. p Clough, at Empire, has recently
located two large reservoir sites, which

The King Edward Mining company is
to be reorganized under the name of The
Clear Creek and Gilpin Mining, Milling,
Power, Transportation, Development and
Tunnel company.
The Lamartine mine is shipping ore in
car load lots that runs $500 to the ton.
The Big Five Federation at the Miami
tunnel is shipping large trial lot of the
ore taken out in driving the drift to con-
meet with the Edgar shaft Altogether 1t
is estimated that there is about 1900 tons
on the dump. This sample lot of ore is
being sent to the Wilkie mill for treat
ment, and, should the result prove salts
factory, it is more than likely that the
entire amount of ore will be milled at
once instead of waiting for the erection
of the company's own mill, as was con-
templated.
The Gold Bug mine at Empire is pro-
ducing some fine looking ore, but it will
not be shipped from this property until
the summer months, for it is the inten-
ton of tha management at present to
carry on the outlined development work.
The Republic Mining company at EN-
pire have recently had all of their claims
patented and are pushing development
work as fast as possible.

IN A VERY
PROSPEROUS
CONDITION.
A $50 Horse Power Plant to Be Installed
In the Torrey Tunnel Property.

George L. Torrey, of the firm of H. A
Reidel & Co., of Colorado Springs, was in
Denver last week on business connected
with the new Clear Creek and Gilpin
Mining, Milling, Power, Transportation
Development and Tunnel company, a
recent promotion of this firm.
While in Denver Mr.. Torrey figured on
a $50 horse power plant for the Torrey
tunnel, owned by the new company. Il
is thought that the plant will be deliver
ed at the tunnel within sixty days, and
when the new plant is in operation the
entire power of the boilers will be used
in operating the drills in the main tun-
mel, while other and smaller drills will
be used for drifting on the veins cut by
the tunnel.
During the period of waiting for the
machinery the company will push the
work of erecting the buildings to hold the
plant, and will probably erect a few small
cottages for the use of its miners. AT the
election of officers recently Howard
Ranck, of Omaha, was elected superin-
tendent of the property and entered upon
his duties March Ist One of the first
operations which will be performed under
his direction will be the enlargement of
the tunnel the first so feet of its course
to size of I6x18 feet in the clear. Be-
yond the 50 foot point the tunnel will be
driven as at present, 8x8 in the clear.
The breast of the tunnel is now in $40
feet from the portal and the work of
driving is being pushed. The tunnel is
located some three up Clear Greek from
Idaho Springs, and surveyed course is
nearly due north, and if extended will
cut under the rich gold field of Yankee
at depths ranging from 5000 to 1000 feet
in less than four miles. Some rich veins
are known to be only few thousand
