Death of Ano her Pioneer.

Last Saturdays Rocky Mountain Her.
aid contains the following obituary no.
tice OF Mrs. Beebe, who was we'll known
in this city:
"Mrs. Ella Beebe, who with her hus-
band, w. F. Beebe, crossed the plains
with an OK team and reached Colorado
in 1859. died at her home, 114S South
Fourteenth street, at o'clock last Mon
day morning.
Mrs. Beebe had friends all over the
state. For years the Beebes rlanaged
the Beebe House at Idaho Springs, the
best known hotel at that time in Colo
rado. Later she opened the Mansions
and the Manitou House at Manitou.
Mrs. Beebc for number of years took
an active interest 10 church affairs in
Denver. She was member OF st.
Johns Cathedral congregation, and when
st. Luke's hospital opened its new build
ing she supervised the buying OF the
furnishings. For one year she did all
the buying for the hospital, and retained
her membership on the board for many
years.
"She first lived in Denver in tent on
the Platte before there was any thought
Of city here. She has enjoyed excep-
tionally good health. notwithstanding
her 70 years, until last November, when
tumor OF the throat developed. and it
was indirectly due 10 that that death
came.
The funeral was held on last Wednes-
day afternoon at 2 o'clock from the late
residence and interment was at River
side. The Pioneer ladies attended the
funeral in body.
"Mrs. Beebe was one OF the noblest
women that ever came to Colorado, and
her death will he mourned by a large
circle OF friends"

A NEW METHOD FOR TREATMENT

Came OF this city, owners of the Gilpin
County New Treatment Of low grade
gold ores, have established a chemical
laboratory in Central City, Gilpn county,
Colorado, U. S. A.
Mr. Granville. who is practical as
sayer. chemist and metallurgist, has per.
fected a method whereby the low grade
gold cres Of Gilpin county can be made
to yield from five dollars to twenty doll
Fars inrvalue more pcr ton than has ever
been obtained by any known process.
Mr.. Granviile's knowledge. through
practical workings OF the Gilpin county
low grade ores, and his continued labora-
tory work thereon, has at last enabled
him to perfect method for the thorough
treatment of these gold ores, the cost Of
which is minimum.
BY this method ores that will not
stand the hauling, freight, mill and
smelter charges are especially adapted
to this treatment There is nothing con-
tanned in the ores OF Gilpin county which
is detrimental to this new method OF
gold extraction. Satitfactory tests have
also been made on low grade gold ores
from other various mining regions in
the United States and Canada.

Down On the Farm.

"Down on the Farm" to be presented
at the opera house Sunday night, March
9Th, is one of the few rural comedy
dramas that have become universal ia
vorites. The clean, wholesome fun,
coupled with the natural pathos Of the
play sways the audience from laughter
to tears and back again, so irresistibly
as to rivet its attention from the beginn-
ing OF the play to the fall OF the final
curtain. This is a play that has won
greater favor and entertained more peo-
pie than any other on play OF modern
times

We find very little regarding it. Joseph
in history his life was one of obscurity
replete in virtue although unknown to
the greater part of mankind. He is cal
led just man and the great dignity he
enjoyed while on earth, that of being the
head of the Holy Family proves to the
world his exalted virtue and the purity
OF his lefe. AS his position was among
the highest on earth, that is from a
spiritual standpoint, so it is also among
the highest in the heavenly court. st.
Joseph is invoked particularly at the
hour of death as he is the patron OF a
happy death. His feast is celebrated on
