Moffatt Road at RolIIn.vIlIe

Last Saturday about noon the long ex-
pected Moffatt road entered the town Of
,Rollinsville, with an engine and track
laying device. This event has been
looked forward to for over a year now,
or ever since the incorporation OF the
Denver & Northwestern railroad. Gill
pin county for the first time in its his
tory or for nearly half century now
has two railroads within its borders.
The company will lay track as far as
possible this month, which will bring il
close to the range. About June ! the,
will put on passenger train and ther
our neighbors at Rollinsville need no,
be dependent upon coming to Black
Hawk in order to go to the valley.

The School Election

The interest taken iu the school elect
ion held last Monday was most unusual
and nearly 500 votes were cast. A good
deal Of feeling had been stirred up ow-
ing to the fact than an entire new board
was to be elected and the opposition Of
Prof. Clark saw in this an opportunity
to possibly elect a board which would
dismiss him from the schools. But the
friends OF the old school board and also
OF Prof. Clark did considerable work
Also and elected their nominees.
The vote was as follows: For secre-
tary for three years, Charles E. Wiley,
3l2, c. V. Shoop, 173. Wiley's majority
139; for treasurer for two years, w. o
Jenkins 300, r. G. Johnson 176, Jenkins
majority l33; for president one year, B.
p. Thomas 3ll, e. E. Phillips I73,
Thomas majority 1873. The new board
was sworn in last evening.

Georgia Minstrels

When Richards & Pringle's Famous
Georgia Minstrels appear at the Opera
House on Sunday, May 8, the public will
see the most expensive colored show ever
organized. II any doubts OF the absolute
truthfullness OF this statement exists it
will be forever dispelled when the per-
formance is gwen.
1t must be confessed now that there
were doubts in the minds Of the manage
ment about their being able to make the
giving of so vast and expensive show
with any profit. and MS matter Of fact
the business ordinarily done by other
shows would not have been profitable
but it was immensely profitable, and
packed houses rule everywhere.
The program is lengthy one, and
made up OF great variety. The street
parade at noon is novelty, two bands
in daily parade.

Golden Smelrer

G olden Globe: Berry Brothers, Of De.
troit, the great varnish manufacturers
who furnished the money to put up the
Golden smelter, and who owned the
great low grade ore mine Saratoga, near
Idaho Springs, have sold the mine to
Idaho Springs parties. AS the Saratoga
was said by DR.. Carpenter, the repre-
sentative of Berry Brothers, to be the
cause OF the erection OF the smelter here
in order to treat the low grade ores, this
said seems TO be the doom OF the Gold
en- smelter. We were once told by a
well informed man that the Golden
smelter was really put up to treat the
ore in the great dump at the old time
smeters here. Berry Brothers bought
that dump before the smelter was put
mp. All OF the dump was worked in the
smelter, and such was the careless meth
DDS of the old time smelling process that
a great many "sows" of metal were found
IN the dump. Our informant says that
there was no doubt but that enough
wealth was recovered from this old
dump to pay for treatment and to reim-
burse the total cost of the smelter and
leave very handsoms profit besides.
We all know that when the dump was
entirely worked over, the shutdown and
final collapse came. There is no hope
that the original promoters OF the Gold
en- smelter will ever reopen the works.
However we believe that there ia money
in the project of operating this smelter
and treating the low grade ores that
abound in the mountains. We look to
see some company get hold Of the smelt-
er, which is in fine condition and has all
the necessary modern appliances, and
open it for keeps. We believe this will
be done, and if not, then the smelter will
be torn down and moved to some other
location.
