AUSTRIAN COUNT
UNLUCKY GAMBLER
Loses Nearly 100000 in
Two Days.
ORIGINAL HARD LUCK MAN
Players at Monte Carlo Growing Rich
Backing Opposite Color to That
Played by Hungarian.

MONTE CARLO. Feb. 29.-The won
der and admiration of the principality
today IS a Hungarian count, who is re
ported to have lost more money over
the gambling tables during the last
week than any other one person has
done during the last five years.
He has never been seen to win, anc
with set smile he seems to take a grim
delight in his bad luck and in the in
terest ana amazement which his ''plung-
ing" arouses among the onloOkers.
Yesterday afternoon he commenced to
play at one of the "trente-et-quarante
tables. He drew out a big packet OF
bank notes and several piles of goioen
plaques. as the SIG pieces specially coin
ed at Monaco are termed.
He glanced around once. and then set
to work by stalking $500 on "couleur,
when. naturally, Inverse" turned up.
He then placed s., 200 on inverse" anc
equally naturally he again lost, for
"couler" proved the winner.
His next stake was the maximum,
g, 4OC, ana for the next half hour ne
staked g. 400 on each deal Of the cards,
and each time. without moving a muscle
of his face. he saw his money swept
away. He is supposed to have losl
nearly $4,000 in the last two days alone.
Many players are now growing rich by
always backing the opposite color to
tiiC-t which the phenomenally unlucky
gambler chooses.

LONDON. Feb. 29.-The days Of Jupi-

rain god. whom weather apprentices

Rival Riflsnen.

Interest in the gun club does not seem
to decrease, although no special meetings
are held or other means are made to hold
the BOYS in line. One thing more than
all else that holds the membership is the
love of the sport Itself, and where two or
more members meet together, there is
but one topic of conversation and that is
shooting and a rifle range. The members
are now engaged in a friendly contest
among themselves to secure possession of
a gold medal recently purchased with
club funds. Each Sunday they meet at the
rife range and contest for this medal, the
person making the highest score holding
the honor for a week. At the end of the
series next July, the member having won
tie medal the greatest number of times
will be awarded the prize to keep a

UPRAISE FINISHED
IMPORTANT WORK COMPLETED ON
THE WIRE GOLD PROPERTY.
BLUE RIBBON PLANS BUILDINGS
eoTTLINo WORKS TO BE CONSTRUCT
EDAT PORTAL OF TUNNEL IN
EARLY SPRING.

Superintendent Ben Martelon of the
Wire Gold company. completed pretty
piece of mining work this week in the
shape OF one hundred and thirty foot
upraise from the tunnel level of the main
drift in the Coming Nation to the sur
face. The upraise was driven for eighty
feet on the incline of the vein and then
run vertically to the surface. In this
vertical run the raise was made through
forty-two feet of low-grade ore that VIII
run from four TO twelve and thirteen dol
lars to the ton.
The upraise was started on an ore chute
about three hundred feet i'll from the
portal of the tunnel aud driven four by
eight in the clear. two compartments and
splendidly timbercd all the way. All the
ore taken ont in making the upraise was
shipped at a profit by the same vein.
At the present time the work being
done on the Coming Nation mine by the
Wire Gold company represents the most
important being done in the Soda Creek
section, outside of the work being done

an extension on the same vein.
The Wire Gold company have at the
present time block of ore one hundred
and twenty feet in height aud over two
hundred feet in length and this block
varies from twenty to forty feet in width.
II is unquestionably the largest low grade
ore body in the Idaho Springs district
and one of the largest IN the state of
Colorado today.
In conversation with Superintendent
Marteion he states that he has been in
structed by Manager Pred G. Shafier to
drive the tunnel on the main drift two
hundred feet farther as rapidly as possi-
BILE, after which it is probable that mill
will be built at the tunnel mouth by the
company. This will prove it up conelu-
sively and leave over three hundred feet
of the giant vein blocked out. The COM
pany has also sunk shaft fifty feet and
run laterals for thirty five or forty feet
to iutersect the rich ore chute from which
ASSAYS have been taken that ruu sto5 ooo
to the ton.
There is every indication, At present
from the character of the for nation. that
/ these laterals are now very close this
rich streak and any day " are liable TO
l hear the good news that me II the richest
ore chutes ever encountered in the dis
trict has been op, ned uP for shipment.
About four hundred tons have already
been knocked down and treated at the
mills ard profits have been enough to
guarantee that with mill belonging to
the comp my there could be no question

Superintendent Martelon believes now
that rapid work will be carried on, be-
cause the property has splendid veniia-
