Forty or fifty roIler-skating Kinks
have been built and opened to the public

patronized and their promoters believe
that this sport, neglected for twenty
years, win again become popular. In
the late '70's and early SOS roller skat-
ing almost attained the dignity Of a ma
tional amusement. No person was too
old or too young to use the Kinks.
The hockey games, endurance races and
exhibitions Of fancy skating arranged
by rink owners attracted big audiences
for four or FIVE years before the popular
appetite was satisfied. Then, and al
most in a moment, roller skating fell
into disfavor Only children chung to
it, and on them it has never lost its
hold. This sudden loss of popularity
was due simply to the fact that the
pastime was worked TO death. New

floor beside him,
The body when found was I'm a sit

by his side. The face was lying in a
pool OF blood which had oozed from
the wound made by the bullet. Death

Mitchell Development Co. Secretary
 Let's Cat Slip From Bag

proved not 10 SC down. Immediately on top Of this story came letters to the owners of the claims in this city from whom the Mitchell company bonded, conveying the impression that things were in a very unsettled condition within the ranks of the company, and that It looked much as if the property would fall back into the hanos of the original owners. A little later anoth- CT letter came along in which the flat declaration was made that unless the owners of the claims should see fit to extend the tine of the next payment eight months, the company would have to give up. Between the lines there was evidences Of internal movements suggestive of a rank game of freeze out for somebody. possibly e certain element in the make up of the compa- ny. Along with all this correspond ence no intimation came that the con- pany had ore in any of it's drill holes. These things hitched up with the note of the secretary which has slipped into print, put an aspect on the situation
 which is not at all discouraging to the owners of the ground, who propose no extension of tine on payments.
Bisbee daily review., 1904-09-22

In the Mitchell Development compa- nv matter of cessation of work at its Huachuca Mountain properties, the cat appears to have slipped the bag. At least this is the inference drawn from the following, taken from the Calumet News:
 "A Calumet stockholder Of the Mitchell Development company has re ceiyed a letter from the secretary of the company in Ishpeming, stating that two months before the discontinuance of operations at the Arizona property seven feet of sulphide ore were passed through in No. drill hole. This IS the first official announcement of this ore body, although it had been antici- pated by reports received from other sources familiar with the prospect"
 When the work was stopped at the properties some seven weeks ago, 1t was handed out here that cessation was due to the fact that no ore had been encountered in the drill holes, and that the property was no good, its surface showings of rich ore amounting to nothing more than pock- ct deposits which the drill holes had
