CHANGE OF rRAMwAY.
Colorado & Southern Officials Ar
rive and Elect New Directors
Frank McGinniss. the New Gen
oral Manager.

On Wednesday OF this week Vice
President Herbert, Chief Engineer Cow
an, Passenger Agent T. E. Fisher, Road
master Nielsen, Attorney E. E. Whitfield,
Assistant Auditor Helbig and a half
dozen other officials OF the Colorado &
Southern arrived in this city and pro,
ceeded to re organization Of the Gilpin
Tramway which had recently been pur-
chased by that company. The old tram
way directors, L. Hanchett, w. L. Bush,
j. w. Bostwick, Thomas H. Potter and
Frederick Kruse, resigned in a body and
the new directors were chosen. They
are J. Nj. Herbert, A. D. Parker, G. L..
Wellington. E. E. Whitted and Frank
Trumbull. The new directors have
placed Frank McGinniss, the popular
station agent at Central, in charge of the
property for the present as acting gen.
eral manager, and we hope to see Mr..
McGinniss keep charge of the line, as
he is we'll acquainted with thu county,
and would and could find the needs of
the patrons of the tramway quicker and
to better advantage than an entirely new
man, besides being an accommodating
and good man for such position.
Mr.. Frederick Kruse, the retiring man.
ager, has made the tramway the success
| it has been, and to him alone is due the
credit for the splendid practicability and
success OF the tramway.
This purchase by the Colorado &
Southern road appears to US as blow at
the proposed Hall railroad, as the G. &
S. now have the control of the hauling
from mines to the depots of the princi
pal agency used for this purpose. They
expect to almost rebuild the road and
put in all necessary repairs. besides max
ing several extensions TO the line, and it
is not beyond doubt but that they will
some time in the near future make ar
rangements for the hauling OF freight
from Black Hawk to Russell and Nevada
vile.
Although we should like to see the
new proposed Hall railroad in this city,
yet this move Of our old enemy, the c..
g. S., shows that they are keeping sharp
lookout for the business of this section,
and will make fight for the same.
Should the new road be built the people
of the county will be greatly benefited,
as traffic rates are bound to go to smash.

Suit in behalf of Central City in Gil

Lincoln Mining Milling and Tunnel Co.

Yards long through the Grant lode min

This beats life insurance all to pieces
A chemist has determined by painstak-

three ounces of calcium. The current
value of calcium is $500 an ounce, which
would give US each value in the retort

you are alive, and have yourself made in

won't hurt much. Why hide your

The Owls in the eight months OF their

A Rand Rats EXPLOITS.

'There were lot of rats in the
storage room of my stable" writes
citizen Of johannesburg, South Africa,
"and we had great difficulty In getting
at them. They were shy Of all traps
and did a tremendous lot of damage at
night, lying quiet all day. At length
put in the room square tin lined box
about two feet deep and in it placed
some burned cheese. The rats immedi-
ately got interested in the cheese,
climbed up the outside of the box and,
having got inside, could not ascend the
slippery tin lining. In this way we
killed great many.
"One morning my children took a
cat, which was a very good ratter, and
placed it in the box, where there was
already good sized rat. The cat, in
stead of tackling the rat, appeared to
make friends with it. They put their
noses together and frisked around, but
no harm was done, and eventually the
cat jumped out, refusing to tackle the
rat.
1.-THE children then put in a keen
dachshund, which Immediately snap
ped at the rat and missed it. The rat
ran around the box two or three times,
lodging cleverly, and eventually, by
climbing on the dogs back adroitly
jumped out of the box and escaped"
