Michael Flaherty, resident of this
city for q years, died at his home on
West High street last Saturday morning
at l:3O o'clock OF typhoid pneumonia.
He had been sick in all about fourteen
days but being man OF heavy physique

bed. After he was confined to his bed
hardly week elapsed before he expired

Co., as machinist, at odd times driving
their wagon.

the old line companies. A wife, three
sons and two daughters, all young, sur
vive him. The funeral was held Mon
day morning at 0 o'clock from the Cath

To Work Sleepy Hollow.

The famous Sleepy Hollow mine neal
Black Hawk is to be started up in few
days. This noted producer has not been
worked for a number Of years, princi
pally on account Of the large amount oil
water that has accumulated in the mine
A strong company Of capitalists are in.
terested 10 the property and will work II
quite extensively. The Sleepy Hollow
was at one time one Of the best pro.
ducers in the county, but had to close
down some ten years ago when the wa.
ter broke through from the Fiske and
drowned fourteen miners. MIR. James
Carbis who formerly managed the prop.
erty for several years, will again have
charge Of operations.
Carbis & Co. have also formed pool
to work the Columbine group Of mining
claims.

cussion Of these ports against the frame
sets the safety devices. When the cable
should be cut by the shears above the
head.frame, which are in use on all the
large mines, the cage would remain at
the top OF the shaft. Thus such dis
aster as occurred on the Independence
couldn't be repeated should cage be
equipped with the Keystone safety de-
vices.
The same appliances for mine cage
could be attached to an elevator in a
building and could be made doubly Sc
cure by the use OF steel slotted guides.
Messrs. Hoskin and Bawden have
been exhibiting the model OF their in
vention to mining men, who pronounce
the safety devices far superior to those
now in use. The gentlemen surely
ought to be able to make some money
out Of their invention

FIRE AT NEDERLAND.
Former Residents Of Central
City Slight Losers.

Nederland was visited by fire last
Friday which threatened for time to
wipe out the town. 1t started in the
Scott Mercantile store at 1870 a. IN.
and was caused from a defective hue
A fire had been started in stove in the
second story of the building with paper
and became so hot the ceiling was soon
in flames. Buildings adjoining were
soon ablaze and the flames were commu.
nicated to store rooms across the street
The bucket brigade was called into ser.
vice and did yeoman work for several
hours in trying to get the fire under con.
troll and prevent it from spreading. Eight
structures were consumed before the
copfagration was finally checked.
The building owned By Warwick &
Ballard, former residents of this city
was saved, which was due to the efforts
OF Mr. Ballard in throwing buckets oi
water on the front. In saving his estab.
lisment, Mr.. Ballard was severely burned
about the face and body. Clem Heuer
in assisting Mr.. Ballard, was painfully
burned. The building is located directly
across the street from the place where
the fire originated. Less than two months
ago Messrs. Ballard & Warwick expert
enced fire which destroyed new build
ing that bad been almost completed and
was ready for occupancy.
Another former resident Of this city
who was loser in the fire was J. A.
Henry. He went to Nederland month
ago and purchased barber shop. His
loss was slight. His shop occupied a
space in billiard and pool room and he
succeeded in getting all his belongings
out Of the place with the exception of
the bottom to his barber chair.
Phil Schmidt, who went from here to
Nederland little more than a month
ago. was also slight loser. He was con-
ducting boot and shoe repairing shop.
but fortunately saved all his property
with the exception of few tools.
The loss to those who were completely
burned out is estimated at $4,000, with
very little insurance. This was the Sec
ond con hagration OF any extent to visit
the Tungsten camp. Five years ago the
town was completely destroyed by fire.
As the place is enjoying quite little
boom at the present time the buildings
destroyed in last Fridays fire will all be
rebuilt, and the TOW n tr -stees will un-
doubtediy take steps toward procuring
a water pipe line and placing several by
drants in town as protection from fires
in the future.

Green Wins Cup.

AS was anticipated by the numerous
friends Of W. S. Green, the gentleman
won the Post trophy cup from A. w.
Peterson in Denver Sunday. Accom-
panying Mr.. Green to Denver to witness
the shoot were A. Rapin, Chas. Wiley,
Ray Stout, d. Graves and G. M. Laird.
The weather for the match all through
the shoot was not as favorable as the
contestants could have wished for. The
wind was mild the first two scores and
after that was changeable, preventing Mr..
Green from making as good score as
he would otherwise have made, which
gave his opponent slight lead. AT the
end of the 10th shoot the score was tie.
After the 10th score the wind moderated
and the Centralite made a score of
eighty eight, winning the cup by eight
points. The following is the score:

NEW INVENTION.
Safety Devices for Mine Cages
and Elevators.

VIM. Hoskin and Herbert Bawden,
employed on the Colorado Ontario mine,
have recently invented what they call
the Keystone Improved Automatic
Safety Catches for use on mine cages
and elevators. The devices are simple,
but practical, and serve an important
purpose in the prevention of loss OF
lives to miners riding on cages or peo.
pie in elevators, caused by the breaking
of cables or other accidents that hap
pen to these contrivances. Safety ap.
pliances are now in uso on all cages and
elevator cars but up to the present time
none of these devices can be depended
upon. When called into commission in
case of an emergency they frequently re-.
fuse 70 work. Such could not possibly
be the case with the Keystone catches.
While they are intended for safety ap-
pliances, it isn't necessary for an acci.
dent to happen in order that they per-
form their work, as the devices act in
the same manner everytime the cage is
brought to stop that they would in
case they were pressed into sudden SER
vice.
Unlike the safety attachments now in
the bottom of the cage instead Of at the
top. The advantage OF this is that there
is no possibility of them becoming dis.
arranged in any manner by coming in
contact with the head-frame OF the
shaft in the event Of the cage run
ming away as was the case in the In
dependence disaster which occurred in
Cripple Creek year or more ago. In
this instance, it will be remembered, the
cage was pulled into the sheave, the
beam to which the safety dogs were at
tached was damaged and when the
cable snapped the safety devices were
not in condition to perform their func
ton and consequently the cage went
back down the shaft.
With the Hoskin Bawden invention
the safety catches are connected to the
bottom of the cage to work independent
ly Of the body Of the elevator car by
q oW-hcdd tuc Dtdu Ol tut Gage,
connected to the draw-head pin, to
which the cable is attached. Attached
to the shaftings underneath the cage, to
which the safety dogs are connected, are
slides or safety chairs, which act on the
ehaft timbers, BY projecting five inches
from each end OF the car. Although
these chairs are set every time the cage
is brought to standstill, they act as a
double safety device, but serve no
purpose only in case the dogs should
fail to hold on account Of striking a
rotten or damaged runner or guide. As
the shaft timbers on which these chairs
catch are located in the shaft at inter.
walls OF from five to six feet, the longest
distance the cage could possibly drop
should the dogs fail to hold would be
less than six feet
AT the top Of the cage, connected to
the draw-head and extending through
the beam are vertical ports. Should
the cable overwind and the cage be

The following obituary is Of
the of the neice of Robert Hall
of Modale.
Glenna Maud, daughter Of
Alfred and Eva Hedges, was
born u miles north east Of La
fayette, Allen county, Ohio.
February 81, 1887, died Nov.
30, 1905, aged 18 years, g
months 8 days. Born of chris
tian parentage she early showed
a preference for good. She
gave her heart to Christ when 10.
years of age and became a mem
Der of the Lafayette Christian
church. InAugust of the same
year she was buried with Christ
in baptism, thus seeking to fol-
low out the command of Him
who was in all things her lead
er. To know Maud was to love
her, and her gentle presence
and loving smile will long be re-
membered by old ard young as
we'll. Being an only child she
was much petted, but not spoil
ed, and while the family loses
an idolized daughter, the
church loses a faithful and low
ed member. While those in
faithful memory of their de-
parted loved one, are enveloped
in gloom and sadness, they bow
in humble submission to Him,
knowing that taeir loss is heav-
ems gain.

four of us and we were all go

the best one, but l guess it was
the worst. They took us to the

walls four feet thick. We just
pulled off our boots and piled
