The gentlemen who had the moving
picture exhibit In the Harris block on
Main street last Friday did not meet
with much success. They only exhib.

was too much of an attraction for the
crowd and the people remained outside.
They may possibly return Sunday or
Monday and remain during the cele-
bration.

The American Smelling & Refining
Company has issued new schedule OF
smelling rates. Such action has been
anticipated ever since the failure of the
Independent Company at Golden. The
competition of the Golden company
brought reduction of smelling rates
that stimulated the mining industry OF
lower Clear Creek and Gilpin counties
to remarkable extent In fact to that
source principally may be attributed an
increase of 175 per cent in ore shipments
from the district. Many shippers feared
that the Smelter company would adopt
a retaliatory policy and are relieved that
the readjustment OF rates will bear but
lightly upon the ores that have swelled
the shipment records Of the past year.
No doubt much OF the ore will suffer a
penalty but other kinds will profit
