RICH STRIKE IN MOUNTAIN LION.
Assessment Work Reveals Valuable Ore Budq
in the Apex Section

While doing assessment work on the
Mountain Lion, Alice Taylor and Elk
claims, pear Apex, strong vein of good
ore has been encountered.
In orcer to develop these claims tun-
mel was commence d with view of cut
tug the Alice Taylor and Elk veins at a
point where they form junction. This
tunnel had been driven only about 10
feet when the Mountain Lion vein was
struck and has been followed to a dis
tance of $50 feet from the mouth of the
tunnel. The vein, where first opened,
is about four inches in width but has in
creased in size and value until in the
breast it shows streak of rich ore IS
inches wide.
The trend of the Mountain Lion shows
that it will cut the other two veins of the
group at the point where they cross,
thus forming three vein junction. The
breast OF the tunnel is still 10 feet from
this point but from the way the size and
value OF the vein is increasing it is evi
dent that when the junction is finally
reached body of ore will be tapped
which will make this group a strong
rival of the Evergreen, Mackey, Ingram
and other rich mines which have recently
made Apex famous.
The value of the property is increased
by heavy growth of timber which OF
itself would make the claims valuable IN
rich mining district like that in which
they are located. The value of the group
is also greatly enhanced by having plenty
of running water on the ground, which
will make possible the erection of a mill
directly at the mouth of the tunnel so
that the ore may be trammed from the
NINE to the mill without the expense of
hauling or handling, In fact it would
seem that nature had made special pro-
vision for making this an ideal location
for profitable mining, and we may ex-
pect to hear from the Mountain Lion in
the future, when the main ore body is
reached.
Gilpin observer., 1906-10-18
Increasing Ore Values.

The ores of Gilpin county are show
ing very marked increase in values OF
late as the mines increase in depth. The
Rocky Mounain Concentrator is nowship.
ping ores received from such mines as
the Wood, ,MaclSey Burroughs, Old Town,
Rails County, Nemaha and several 9th.
ere, which runs from $4,000 to $500 90
per ton.
The Jefferson Calhoun group and the
Gunnell properties are pushing prelimi
naries with all haste and will soon be
among the heavy shippers OF the county.
Although the quantity has not per
ceptibly increased of late the growing
increase in tho values OF the ores is in.
ducing much outside capital to seek in
vestment in Gilpin county, one of the
Oldest aud best mining districts in the
state. Conditions throughout the coun.
ty are certainly looking very good jus,
now.

C. ". KNOX PASSES AWAY.
Prominent Business Han Of This Citu Sue.
Cunbs 10 TgphOld-Pneumonia.

G. W. Knox, president of the Knox
Machinery company, died last Saturday
morning at his home in Mapleton, a sub
urb OF Boulder, of typhoid fever. Death
came after an illness of three weeks, the
ailment developing into typhoid. pneu-
monia the week before the deceased
passed away. A day or two before death
there was decided change in Mr.. Knox's
condition Tor the better but Friday night
be suffered a relapse.
Mr.. Knox was twenty.six years of age
and had lived in Boulder less than three
years. He started the Knox Machinery
company in that city with limited capi-
tai but made such rapid strides in his
business career he established a
branch house in this city and main
office in Denver before his death. Sew.
eral months ago he came to this city and
opened branch office and the establish.
ment has ever since enjoyed a good,
healthy patronage. Mr.. Knox was a
rustler and was very systematic IN the
conduct OF his bust ness affairs. He was
strong believer in advertising, which
seemed to be the keynote to his SUCCESS.
So well did he advertise his establish.
ment in this city before the business had
been fairly launched every body in Gil.
pin county knew of the c. w. Knox Ma.
chinery company. He advertised his
houses in Boulder and Denver Judi
ciously.
Mr.. Knox was born at Westminster,
Mass, his parents being very poor peo.
pie. He was student at Harvard for
two years, after which he went to the
School OF Mines at Butte, Mont, where
he took his mining degree. He started
business as a mining engineer in Cripple
Creek four and half years ago, remain.
ing in that place two years. The re.
mains were shipped to Pennington,
Mass, the former home of his wife, for
interment.
While the death OF c. w. Knox occa.
stoned decided loss in commercial cir.
cles in this city, the business will con.
tinue as ever. Under his general man.
agement he had always made it a point
to retain in every department efficient
men whom he could depend upon to per.
form their work and fill their positions
without his direction il necessary. A
general manager, however, will be placed
in Mr.. knox's place by the company.

ing vote
Mrs. Emma Maischoss was nominated
by acclamation'for countysuperintende
of schools.
w. r. Backus and Joe Williams were
named for assessor. Quite few Of the
delegates thought that inasmuch as all
the nominations has been residents OF
Central City with the exception of Thor.
Crook, and he had to be named from
Black Hawk owing to the fact that that
city was in the third district, through
courtesy Black Hawk should have the
nominee for assessor. Sullivan. the big
joss OF the Republicans, however, wanted
Mr.. Williams and the convention bowed
submissively to his will.
The selection OF constables and JUS
tices of the peace was left to the COM
mittee appointed to fill vacancies name
ly Peter McFarlane, B. E. Seymour and
NJ. K. Sullivan.
The final order of business was the
naming OF the ticket. When this came
up Peter McFarlane took the floor and
said that he had been Republican the
major portion of his life, had partici-
pated in all kinds of Republican conven-
tions but that was the first time he had
ever had to be named or branded. He
said when the call was issued he was un-
der the impression that it was to be a
Republican convention and supposed
the ticket would be labeled Republican.
Quite wrangle ensued over the naming
OF the ticket. In the rear of tho hall
one of the spewed out Republicans who
would not knuckle to the Vivian. Gug-
genheim bunch that had named the
candidates, suggested that it be named
the "Guggenheim ticket" His position
in the room, though, was too remote for
his suggestion to be heard or the name
doubtless would have been chosen as it
was most fitting and appropriate one.

EpIett Rule MarridOe.

Many of the friends of Mr.. Wm. Ep-
lett and Miss Jessie Rule will be rather
surprised to hear that they have Joined
hands and fortunes for the rest of their
journey over the sea of life. The cere-
mony was performed at Mountclair,
near Denver, by Rev. &. A. Chrisman
former pastor of the Episcopal church of
this city, on Saturday, August 9Th. The
happy pair did not tell many of their in
tentions and the news of their marriage
did not leak out until week after the
event had occurred. They have gone to
housekeeping at the Rule residence on
Main street, for the time being.
This marriage joins two of the best
families in the county. Mr.. Eplett is
well and favorably known throughout
the county, having resided in Russell
Gulch the greater part of his life. Un-
til lately he had been driving the Wells
Fargo express wagon and is now work.
ing in the bakery of Ed. Rule.
Miss Rule is one OF Ceutral's pretty
young maidens and is well liked by all
her friends and acquaintances. She
will make an ideal wife for Mr.. Eplett.
The young lady is the eldest daughter
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin Rule OF this city.
Friends join the Observer in wishing
Mr.. and Mrs. Eplett the best Of every
thing in their new relations.

mel. The lateral is in distance of 100
feet but lately they have been cross
cutting at the 22O station. In the breast
OF this cut they have struck body of
ore seven feet wide with the hanging
wall still out Of sight. The assays taken
from the same show some very high val
ues. In all probability when the mana
ger returns the mine will be worked on
large scale. The tunnel is connected
with mill belonging to the same COM
pany and this property can be worked to
good advantage.
The Perigo mill in Perigo will resume
operations again next Monday. This re-
suits from the large amount of ore piled
up by the leasers in the Perigo tunnel
which awaits treatment. These lesseee
have been working for some time and
from all appearances will make good
money. The mill is owned by Light
bourn & Co. of Central.

Republican Speakers.

Chancellor Fl. A. Buchtel, Republican
candidate for governor, and A. E. Bent,
candidate for state treasurer, spoke at
the opera house last night to fair sized
audience
Bent was the first speaker and de-
livered most tiresome discourse. His
remarks were confined mostly to state
ments of what he had done as state
auditor and what he proposed to do if
elected treasurer. He was sorely lack
ing in everything that constitutes an in
teresting talker and, to make his speech
the more wearisome, continually used
immense figures, which confused himself,
which his listeners knew very little
about and were unwilling to take his
word as a correct statement of facts
Chancellor Buchtel made good talk.
He did not MAKE a speech however, that
could have been termed brilliant or
atorical effort. He generalized on nat
ional Republican administrations, par
ticularly the present one and wisely for
his own beneft ignored the main issues
of the state campaign. The speaker de-
voted goodly portion of his speech to
recital OF ancient political history dating
back to the time of George Washington.
He justified the supreme court in its
acts pertaining to elections and said it
was necessary that that tribunal act as
it has in contest matters. He said moth
ing in particular about Gabbert, in fact
passed him up coldly One thing,
though, the gentleman should be given
credit FOR and that is that he eaid nosh.
ing of villifying character about his
opponent on the Democratic ticket. On
the contrary he said he knew Mr..
Adams to be straight, honest and hon
orab,e man and he would not attempt to
picture him otherwise.
The audience was composed of Demo-
Gratis and Republicans. The latter dis
played very little enthusiasm and were
stinted with their applause. In order to
arouse the slightest interest from their
auditors it was necessary for the speak
ers to refer TO President Roosevelt. The
local band furnished lively music and
did all it could to lend inspiration to the
orators and install a little life into the
meeting.

Resolved, That we denounce the pres.

official larceny of the governorship and

Resolved, That we fully commend to
the voters and taxpayers of Gilpin county
the able and efficient manner in which
the county affairs have been admins
tered by our present Democratic officials
and call attention to the fact that when
the Democratic administration went into
power two years ago it received as a
heritage Republican debt of over s14,-
600 and said debt has now been fully
wiped out by an efficient and economical
management on the part of the present
Democrs tic administration, which,
though hampered by this Republican
debt due to mismanagement, has already
greatly reduced the taxes in Gilpin coun-

of the so.called military tax.
