HINT TO COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

It may be impossible for the commits
sioners to visit our district every week or
every month, but their smiling faces
would be a welcome sight about this
time. 1t is of course "harangue" about
the conditions of our roads, which they
seemingly have grown tired and sick of.
But they do not realize our growing needs
for extensions of the county roads here,
and the Earring l get because do not
go after the commissioners more freque-
ntly. Everyone knows, as well as the
com missioners, that it is hard for me to
find fault with so old and warm friends
as has always existed between the honor
able board and myself. 1 know these
commissioners appreciate this long stand
ing friendship as much as 1 do myself.
However, l wish to call their attention
gently and mildly to the fact that we
need some new roads, the extension of
the county road, and few repairs here
and there, and hope they will not take
offense, but compliment me for dong
my duty in calling their attention to
these things.
First of all, the people here wish that
the county road system be extended from
Alice to Yankee Hill proper, to connect
with the county road from Gilpin county.
This road is in a deplorable condition,
and no load could be hauled over it.
The road is travelled constantly, and
should receive the attention of the COM
missioners. The glacier and St Mary's
lake is one of the greatest sights to be
seen in Colorado. Thousands of tourists
are planning to visit the glacier this sum-
mer, though for over a mile the road is
impossible at this time. The Chesapeake
company and Mr.. C. R. Stewart have
from time to time expended considerable
money on this road from Alice to ST.
Mary's lake, but their interest in the road
falls short of the glacier. The road should

ally visited the property. and through
the kindness of Manager Sims and Super
intendent Mcdonald, was given an op-
portunity to visit all parts of the mine
and see for himself that the men were
working and in sufficient number to put
the entire property in operation if nee
essary. 1t is true that not as large a
force is employed as was the case when
the mine was closed down, as the COM
pany is now only working the two lower
levels. During the time that the mine
was shut down considerable caving took
place in the lower levels, and this debris
has caused considerable extra work in
order to clear the drifts, but now this
work has been completed and mining
has been resumed. The most trouble
was encountered in the ninth level, but
tthis has been overcome, the drills are at
work and ore is being sent to the surface
in large quantities. Enough ore is in
sight and so clearly defined that a large
force of men could be employed to
good profit, but the force now employed
is all sufficient to meet the present needs
of the company. In the tenth level
there was but few caves and the work
has been but little irterferred with,

FINE FISHING INLAKES.

The fishing in the lakes of this district
has been good so far this spring and
some big catches have been reported. At
Loch Lomond last week Vim. Wood and
A. Richards of Central City made catch
of 49, none of which weighed less than a
pound and a quarter. Added to this
string was some 80 fish that would aver
age Ioinches in length. Mr.. A. NJ. Hawk
has a total of I4S fish to his credit up 10
the present time, most of which was
caught in Silver laAe. w. Guy Harper
and Arnold Smith have both made good
''catches" at St. Mary's lake. Many
sportsmen from Idaho Springs and Cen
tral City have visited the different lakes
during the past week.

whan the mine was re-opened. On Mon
dav last the force was augmented by the
addition of sixteen more men who we're
put on the night shift, so that there is
now employed ffty-two men, and when
the fact that but two levels are being
worked is taken into consideration, the
force is, in point of Numbers, in excess of
that employed when the strike occurred
This IS one of the big propositions of the
district and the one against which the
striking forces directed their efforts. but

be made county road, and the grades
toned down, which could be done at very
little expense 1t is safe to say that the
people living on this road would pay half
the expense of building this road if the
commissioners would accept of their SER
vices. Again, the Fall River section
is booming" to use an lucid phrase,
yet the road up Fall River from the Alice
road TO the Gold King mill is impossible
aud in rocky" state in more ways than
one, And the road from the Alice post
office to the Gold King mill is absolutely
highway cheat to even walk over il
The Gold King mine is producing from
$4,000 to $4,000 monthly, and employing
from twenty to thirty people. In this
section there are a hundred people
working, yet no attention is taken o.
them, though believe this is one of the
oldest county roads i'll the state. If the
commissioners come up to inspect this
road they had better walk-no charge for
the advice. Honestly, we would like to
hear from you at your first convenience,
if it is impossible for you to visit us.

The GOLD ANCHOR.

Another big strike of rich ore has been
made in the Gold Anchor mine in the
south drift from the 50 foot level, of ore
that will assay from $I2 to SI6o per ton.
The high grade ore lays in streak some
eight inches wide on the foot wall, while
there is now over two feet of mill dirt
that will average better than SI2 per ton.
The drift, however, is only entering into
this shoot, and which was expected by
the manager, as the same shoot was cut
in the tunnel drift 100 feet above,
although no such high values were found
to be i'll the vein on that level. The
present indications are that the shoot will
open out to a width of several feet in a
short distance, and have a length of oyer
90 feet. This find which, only proves at
greater depth increased values of what
was found nearer the surface, together
with the ore body being now opened up
in the breast of their tunnel certainly
makes the prospective richness of the
Gold Anchor mine something which will
attract the attention of mining men all
over the state. Manager Slater is now
in the east comforting with his company
in regard to building mill of at least 90
tons capavity.

THE DOG AND THE CHICKENS

Ii is very easy thing to hypnotic
chicken by drawing circle of chalk
on the ground, then laying the chicken
within the circle and placingJits beak
on the chalk line; but it remains TO,
a Staten Island setter dog to exert
upon a number of chickens mesmeric
influence compelling them to form
themselves into circle and stand
transfxed as long as he wills.
This dog, which is owned by MI
Robert Cartwright of New Dorp.
Staten Island, is the cause of consider
able complaint by the neighbors who
own chickens. The other day neigh
Dor came running over to the settlers
owner and requested him in language
forcibly eloquent to take his dog home
and keep him home or else some day
the canine might stray away and for
get to return. Mr. Cartwright was en-
tirely ignorant of the dogs hypnotic
powers and knew him only as a gentle.
kind and sweet dispositioned beast. and
therefore expressed considerable sur
prise.
you don't tell me that he has killed
any of your chickens?" he queried.
"No,' replied the neighbor hotlv
"but he's clean bewitched and demon
allied every fowl on the place. Come
over and see for YOURSELF" The two
men made their way to an open field,
where strange sight presented itself.

BROoKFIELD,
A GRANGE EVENT.

-
Monday evening, May 4, was a red
letter day for Brookield Grange, it be-
ing the occasion Of fraternal visit
from New Fairfield and Danbury
Oranges. New Fairfield furnished
the program, consisting Of music,
both vocal and instrumental, read
ings, recitations and papers, all Of a
high order Of merit and remarkably
we'll rendered. 1t gave evidence of a
wide-awake Grange containing much
talent and ability. At the close of the
program the visitors had ample evil
dence of the hospitality of Brookf1eld
Grange in the line of good things which
were literally provided by the ladies.
After the inner man was refreshed
Mrs H. W. Green very kindly consent
ed to give some instrumental music
from the piano, which was so enthusi >
astically received as to be encored and
was promptly responded to. This was
followed by recitation from Mrs
Brundage, the lecturer of Danbury
Grange, which was equally we'll re-
ceived and encored, bringing a very
acceptable response. Evidently the
baby Grange of the state has material
in it which will be heard from later.
Between 60 and 70 were present, crowd
ing the hall almost beyond a good de-
gree of comfort.
Mrs Arthur OSmun returned to her
home in Brooklyn after caring for her
father in his recent sickness.
The ladies of St Paul's Guild held a
