Work Not concluded.--The county
court spent the greater portion OF its
time yesterday in considering the mat
ter az relocation OF road districts, but
at o'clock adjourned without having
completed its task. Under the new
law the several road districts are al
lowed to make their own levies for
roads and this feature Of the law has
created endless trouble for Judge
Trenchard and the commissioners. In
almost every district there Is a differ
ence OF opinion as to the land that
should be included in the Improvement
districts, the idea Of the settlers being
OF course, to have the districts so ad-
justed as to insure them good roads
at the least possible cost. The people
of lust one district--No. 6-proved the
exception. This district is east OF the
Lewis and Clary river and extends as
far as Youngs river. The people there
want roads, but they are willing to pay
for them, and, in order that they might
have access TO the Lewis and ClarE
road, yesterday agreed that a marrow
strip OF property between two Lewis
and Clark districts be included In theil
district. They offered no complaint
when the court suggested the advis'

with the melancholy but romantic stories
of Montezuma and Maximilian. and was
gradually developing an interest in ruins
and such like; but when be found that
the probabilities of being qusrantined at

route soon to be taken south very
materially, returning home from

Defective FIue Causes Bla zs.

defective flue caused small blaze at
the residence OF A. J. Page, on Miner
street, at an early hour Tuesday morn
ing, but owing to the presence of mind
and prompt action of Mrs. Page. what
might have proved a serious conhagra-
ton was arrested. Fire from heating
stove had ignited the SCOT in defectively
constructed chimney. and burning
through the light chimney wall, set FIRE
to a bed that stood against it. Mrs. Page
had gone to the kitchen but moment.
and upon returning saw that the bed
clothes were afre. She rapidly dragged
the burning mass across the floor and
into the back yard. where it was depos-
tied in an ash can and the flames
s,nothered. Her hands were badly
burned in dragging out the blazing
clothing.
Had the FIRE occurred when no one was
in the house, unquestionably all the
buildings in the block would have been
destroyed, as high wind prevailed at
the time.
The attention of the city authorities
was called to the cause of the fire, and
NO doubt more rigorous FIRE protection in
the way Of properly constructed buildings
will be adopted.

BIG FIVE SAMPLER
PLANS PERFECTED FOR ONE OF THE
LARGEST MODERN WORKS IN
COLORADO
WILL Be ERECTED IN NEAR FUTURE
CENTRAL TUNNEL LEVELS ON EDGAR
OPEN INTO GOOD STREAMS OF
oRE--oTHER NOTES

Superintendent Stewart of the Big Five
company announces that the'Central tnu-
mel is now 2s25 feet in length and figures
the progress made during January will
reach 72o feet This he considers very
good for one shift. considering the size
of the bore. uniform hardness OF rock,
etc. The Bryan lode. owned by Nelson
& Wilde, was cut about 7Soo feet from
the portal. This is considered an cxten-
sion Of the Crystal vein, owned by the
tunnel people, and il is likely that some
arrangements will be made for the dvvel-
oping of the territory between the tunnel
and Virginia canon and on this big vein.
Such at least is the desire of the COM
pany.
Drifting is being carried on east anc
west on the Edgar vein from the tunrel
by Mr. Larson, the lessee. Where the
tunnel Gu, the vein there was no mineral
showing but In going a few feet east
four feet of miperalized quartz has been
opened, consisting of lead and iron, and
on the west side there is also noticeable
improvement. The work is being done
with machine drills. The exact point a,
which the raise will be started has not
yet been determined, bat it will be from
90 to 100 feet west of the tunnel. The
indications are that the Larson lease will
be one OF the best in the mine.
The company continues its prepara-
-. IL l.. Il A..
order has been placed for new mine cars
with capacity of just double those nov
in use. The track is gradually being ex
tended from this end of the new bridge
and will soon reach the site for the pro-
posed company sampler. The automatic
dumping device for the new ore cars will
soon be installed and will greatly expt-
dite the work
Mr.. Falls has finished the plans for the
new sampler. and Mr.. Stewart has the
blue prints in his Office. They certainly
are very elaborate and provide for one Of
the largest and most complete works in
the state. When completed, the main
building will be 200 feet in length, there
being an excellent arrangement OF ore
bins, grizzlies, sorting rooms, etc, in
connection with the mill proper.
The elevation of the tunnel track al
the sampler will be "a feet which will
admit of the automatic dumping of the
ores into the bins. 1t has not yet been
decided as to the line of the railroad
switch from the sampler. to the {. & 5,
but that will come later on. As John @.
Roberts has for some time been desirous
connecting the Jackson mill with the
railroad, it NAV be that some arrange
meut will be made in that direction.
We understand that the sampler will
be erected prior to the concentrator,
which will be planned upon fully as
elaborate a scale.
