Great Slaughter Of Ducks.

Every duck hunter who went out to
the lakes Sunday came home with as
many ducks as he could safely carry
under the law. The slaughter was one
Of the greatest known in the history OF
the state, as the weather was ideal for
hunting and the game was plentiful
in all parts. One inquisitive hunter
who had his own bag well filled,
counted over 500 ducks at the station
a. Barr. when the crowd was waiting
fo! the train. This did not include the
kill made by the members of the Hot
Air CluD. who came in by later train,
or of those secured by the men who
shot Upper Barr lake. The latter
usually 90 TO their blinds in automo-
biles, returning the same way. A safe
estimate OF the number killed about
the Barr lakes is therefore about LOO.
AS this is only one OF the many places
to which the Denver hunters went,
some idea may be secured Of the num-
beg of duck dinners enjoyed in this
city yesterday.-Denver Republican.

John Gleason is doing considerable work on his claims in the district and is thought to have a valuable property. The double compartment of the Black Prince is down over seventy feet and in good ore.
 The Copper Chief. the property of the Arizona and Michigan Develop ment company, has received its eigh- ty-five horse power hOisting outfit, and will install it as soon as possible. the ground having been graded while awaiting its arrival.
