Then that first stuck swine
dropped, still kicking, into a great
vat of boiling water, and spoke no
more words, but wallowed in ODE

lower end Of the vat, and was
heaved on the blades of a blunt
paddle wheel, Things which said

all the hair off him, except what
little couple Of men with knives
could remove.
Then he was again hitched by
the heels to that said railway, and
passed down the line of the IL
men, each man with a knife-os-
ing with each man q certain
amount of his individuality, which
was taken away in wheelbarrow,
and when he reached the last man
he was very beautiful to behold,
but excessively unstuffed and limp.
The dissecting part impressed
me not so much as the Staying.
They were excessively alive, these
pigs. And then, they were so ex-
cessively dead, and the man in
the dripping, clammy, hot passage
did not seem to care, and ere the
blood of such one had ceased to
foam on the floor such another and
four friends with him had shrieked
and died.

A Fatal Accident

Joseph Carey. age I9 years, was
instantly killed shortly after

by being crushed between a large
wooden pulley and the frame work
of the crushing rolls in the jack
son concentrating mill in this
city. With a crow bar young
Carey had attempted to dislodge
the material which clogged the
roll, and either lost his balance
or slipped in such manner that
he was caught by the big pulley.
He made no outcry and no one

ping Of the feed to the Hunting
ton mill called the attention of
the employees to the fact that some
thing was wrong, and they dis
covered the mans body jammed
underneath and between the roll
frame, floor and pulley. The
mill was shut down and the body
extricated with difficulty. Death
must have been instantaneous, and
was caused either by blow on the
right temple or his back was bro

Common Pikers

The members OF the Piker's
Roost, after exhansting every
means within their power to find
an appropriate cognomen to be.
stow upon a corporation giving
them legal existence, finally gave
up in despair, and this week filed
incorporation papers with the pro-
sale name of The Idaho Springs
Athletic association. The name
is not artistic, and is miserable
subterfuge. Instead Of indicating
the truth-that the organization is
composed of bunch of the finest
fellows that ever came down the
pike the name would suggest a
flock of prise fighters. There is
not an athlete in the crowd, and it
is safe assertion that upon oath
not a member of the assocition
could identify a boxing glove
The only gloves that they are at
all familia with is the kid kind
when worn upon dainty feminie
paw. Itis reported that one of the
members can perform the wonder
full acrobatic stunt of standing on
,his.head, but other men bers deny
thet he ever did this unless under
some baneful influence.
The organization with the ex-
ecrrble name is capitalized at Sro,-
900, and its destinies for the first
year will be guided by Henry P.
Dickinson, Willis f. Campbell,
Edward Schoellkopf, J. Frank
Burn. and Thomas Bonner. The
corporation will be ruled under by
laws such as may be necessary to
maintain decorous conduct on the
part Of the mem bership.

in regard to the big Gem PROPOSE

Of the fact that the Consolidated
Gem Mines company is close cor

pendus feat of raising ST., loo ,ooc
for the construction of a 1000

the Gem mine at Idaho springs,

which is already being operated

the correspondence sent out that
the enterprise, when in full run

20 per cent. on the investment.
The main vein of the Gem has
been cut by the Newhouse tunnel,
through which it will run the ore
by gravity to the mill situated
near the portal. The company
owns three miles of ground along
Clear Creek which will give un-
limited water power to supply
their plant and a surplus to sell
to other mines of the district. Mr..
