Mrs. Scott Killed.

Thru roundabout channels, news of
the untimely death of Mrs. Walter
Scott, a former highly esteemed resi-
dent of Delta, was conveyed to friends
of the family in this city last week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Scott have been living
on a ranch north of Hahn's Peak, in
Wyoming and stage driver from that
country, who attended the log rolling,
told William Roatcap. of California
Mesa, of the death of Mrs. Scott. The
news comes to the INDEPENDENT thru

al friend of Mr. Scott. 1t seems that
Mr.. Scott and his son John were away
from home and when they returned
Mrs. Scott's dead body was found in
the corral, she having been gored to
death by young wild heifer that was
being broke to milk. This happened
some weeks ago.
The Scott family have many friends
and acquaintances IN Delta who will re-
gret to hear of the terrible death that
came to Mrs. Scott. She was about so
years old. Mr.. Scott started what is
now the Independent Lumber Co. and
he at one time served as Mayor of Del

since they left here.

Strike il Rich.

Delta citizens who are interested in
the Lillian Mine at Russells Gulch in
Gilpin county received word Tuesday
of . rich strike that promises to make
them fortune.
The vein is six feet in width and the
pay streak runs 500 per ton. while the
milling ore assays from s25 to ESQ per
ton.
The fortunate ones are Rev. John 4.
Wood, former Delta citizen. and who
is on the ground managing the proper
ty. Judge A. X. King. A. II. Stockham
and w b. Stockham.
The history Of the property is the old
story Of having been abandoned. when
Rev. Mr.. Wood happened that way and.
recognizing the rich surroundings and
favorable opportunity to resume opera
tions on the basis of very reasonable
investment. he communicated with his
Delta friends and they were not long in
forming a company and taking over
the property on the basis Of bond and
lease.
The Lillian is but 600 feet from the
famous Old Town Mine vein which has
produced one and half million during
the last two or three years. 1t is
thought this rich discovery is an extern
sion of the same vein.
The INDEPENDENT congratulatcs the
fortunate owners and trusts that every
thing will turn out as favorably as
present bright prospects indicate.

GOOD PROSPECTS IN MINERAL

(From Sundays Dnily.)

81 had no idea that there were 70
many good looking prospects in the
Mineral Point district until made n
personal investigation to satisfy my.

that section of The Black Hills range.
"Sevcral good mines will unques'
tionably be opened there" he said,
Judging from the number of miners
who are ut work, and the character of
the ground that is being developed.
Some very rich ore il beiug taken out
from strong veins that have excellent
surface showings, and the district ap-
pears 10 me 20 have great future
ahead of it,
Speaking of the mining camps visit
ed. he stated that the Peters boys
were taking out and shipping ore from
sixty foot shaft that sampled in
carload lots l52 ounces in silver bis pei
cent in copper and .os of an ounce in
gold to the ton. The vein being devcl
opcd was strong and well defined ifs
sure with n schist filling, cutting the
country formation of gneiss.
The mine Is situate on the eastern
slope Of the Black Hills range In tho
upper Verde section, and within easy
distance of the main line of the =. j.

by fnir mountain wagon road.
Among other camps visited he
mentioned the Ford. Al this place
there was shaft sunk TO n depth OF
on another which was now down 81
feet Both shafts had a very goo'
showing of sulphidc ores. A new hoist
ing plant was recently installed on The
ground. and the management is busilS
engaged in getting n pump in working
order to take care Of the water in the
mine, which IN now handled by the
bucket process.
Many other outfits were seen al

ELECTRIC LIGHTS FOR SHELTER

Since July the first lasi when
ground was broken for the erection of
the magnificent smelling pant at Hum

The machinery for the new plant
was shipped from this city Friday
over the Bradshaw Mountain railroad.
and as soon as delivered on the ground
the work of installing IL will bc at once
commenced, and II is expected that ia
less than three months the new town
will have its water and electric light
systems in full operations.
The pumping plant, which will be run
by electric power, will have capacity
of 300 gallons per minute, while the
water tower, which will be sixty feet
