Recollection. Of an Old Timer.

Last weeks Golden Globe contained
the following interesting sketch of Rob-
eri Strain:
In 1850 he located on the site where
Idaho Springs now stands, but there was
no town there then. Here he opened up
stock of goods, as j, was in mining
district, and the prospects for trade were
good. MIR. Strain was the first merchant
that opened business in that locality.
In the fail of 1859 there were reports
of good prospects over in South Park.
and Robert Strain ou,f,ted party and
Buckskin Joe diggings in South Park.
and Immediately sent word back that
they had struck it rich,n and requesting
Mr.. Strain TO come on at once. He sold
ing the Park and staying there month.
he concluded TO leave, which he did.
MIR. STRAIN cut through the first trail
from Cresxell TO the South Park, and took
several loads of provisions through and
sold them at good profit. his being the
frs, TO reach the diggings.
In the spring of 1860, Mr.. Strain locat
ed on the spot where he has since lived
i, being one of the most extensive mount
ain ranches in the country.
Robert A. Strain was married at Denver
in 1864 to Miss Charlotte Camp. They
have never had any children. but they
raised two boys and a girl to manhood
and womanhood all OF whom are happily
married aud settled in life. The girl is
Mrs. W. II. Elwood of Idaho Springs. at
whose home he ended the journey of life.

Little Richard Mine.

The latest report Of the manager of the
above mine is as follows:
The big bore in the main tunnel is
going steadily forward toward the strong
assures crossing the Little Richard claims
between Soda Creek and Squirrel Culch.
The tunnel has reached point in the
mountain where depth is being obtained
very rapidly. so that by the time the
first cross vein is reached we will have
a depth OF about 700 feet on the dip of
the Richard and about 600 feet on the
dip Of the first vein cut. On the first of
October the main tunnel was in Si9 feet
and inches; the cross-cut, which starts
aorth from the main tunnel at point
SIG feet and inches from its portal. was
in 37s feet. Day and night shifts are
constantly employed and the drifts are
going forward just as fast as the best
machine drills H.eyner Model Air Drills
can send them along.
We have recently established a new
system of daily reports from the mine,
commencing October Ist. These reports
show that at present we are averaging
about Al feet per day in the main drift
and about 4 feet in the crosscut.

Precocious Youths.

Two Idaho Springs boys escaped an
everlasting disgrace this week through
the Kindness of Judge Morris. Prosecu,-
ing Attorney Smith and Mr.. Alkire. and
if the lesson taught them falls on barren
ground, it will be through no fault of the
above named gentlemen.
Last Tuesday night James O'Donnell,
aged IL years, and Eddie Phillips, aged
8 years. boarded the blind baggage at
this place and rode to Dumopt. At that
place they proceeded TO burglarize the
store of Mr.. Alkire, effecting all entrance
by removing pane of glass from rear
window. They were discovered in the
act and placed under arrest. being
brought to this city and confinci in jail
Thursday afternoon they were arraigned
before Justice Morris ON burglary
charge, but owing TO the extreme youth
fulness Of the pair tlIev were dismissed
from custody under promise to be good.
1t was thought that term in the reform
school would do the lads good, but the
plea of the parents, backed by request
for leniency on the part Of the owner OF
the store that was burglarized, the Judge
decided to suspend the sentence pending
the good behavior OF the boys.
1t remains to be seen what effect this
kindness will have on the lads, but is
hoped that the lesson will not be lost or
them and henceforth they will attempt to-
walk in the straight and narrow path
and resist temptation. Any departure
| from this course will result most disast-
riously for the boys, and they may con-
slider themselves lucky for escaping fate
that would mar their entire life and visit
taint of remorse on those who wish
them the best in their own family circle
Andrew Anderson came up from Dem

turning I.5s ozs. gold and ~ ozs. silver,
a total value Of about fI6o per ton. In
addition there is two to three feet of Sec

Upp<r Clear Creek Notes.

The Standard reports that recent
strike of ore carrying over 500 ozs. silver
and 40 per cent. lead has been made in a
mine i'll that vicinity upon which some
development work is doing. The name
of the property and the fortunate opera
tor or operators is not given presumably
by request; but it would assist the dis
triet materially. we should think, to pub
lish such good tidings in full.
The Terrible mine has once more en-
tered the list of shippers, and appear
ances point to a long and profitable
career of production. The credit for this
belongs to the Catrens, who have taken
up an old, unworked property. enlisted
outside capital, and have now in opera
tion one of the most extensive mining
and milling enterprises in the county.
AT the mill there is already over zoo tons
OF concentrates ready for shipment, and
the returns in dollars and cents should
be pretty figure. judging by the value
of the crude ore.
According to the Standard, Manager
Desch Of the Cory City has decided to
construct a large concentrating mill at
Silver Plume, the recent shipments Of
Cory City dump material 10 the Idaho
Springs milis having proven that by
careful milling handsome profit can be
realized The crude material. sampled
before concentration, sssayed 81 per ton.
Mr. Desch figures on saving at least 20
per cent of this at an expense of about IS
cents ton. As the product goes about
90 tons into /, the concentrates should
net about 81 90 per ton after milling.
Four feet of solid ore has been opened
in the crosscut to the Santiago vein. The
strike was made in the 4th level of the
mine, and shipment will be made at an
early date to ascertain the values.
Results of development work on the
Waldorf tunnel property are gratifying,
it is said. and work will be continuous all
winter.
The st. Paul property, winch Is ngufeo
to be the extension west of the Aiiunde,
is being operated quite extensively and
some good ore is being obtained.
The Cold Fissure mine of Empire is
shipping 55 to 10 tons per day of ore, the
bulk of the product coming to the con-
centrating mills of Idaho Springs for
treatment.
The Empire tunnel people seriously
contemplate the erection of a smelter.
The ore bodies in the Gold Fissure and
Gold Dirt properties have led to this
conclusion. combined of course with
what is expected to be met with in other
properties on the way.
The Burleigh tunnel is going steadily
ahead for the Seven-Thirty and Bismarck
veins.

Attorney w. A. Williams Yesterday

that as soon as his mission is accom-

experience in this city, four years Of
which he was in partnership with A. d.
Bulls, he not only built up an enviable
reputation for ability but succeeded very
nicely financially. 1t u hinted that Mr..
Williams intention is to locate in one of
the prospective new states, and we sus-
pect that political ambition may have
som ething TO do with the present move.
