A beautiful body presupposes a

THE skin is very delicate and

II is exposed the health is more

that the skin, rs well as other parts

THE LATE A. j. GREGORY
WAS UNIVERSALLY POPULAR

There are few men in the stock
business in Western Colorado who
have not warm personal recollections
of A. j. Gregory, former live stock
agent of the Rid Grande system, with
headquarters in Salt Lake City. We'd
nesday he died in the hospital for the
insane at Provo, Utah.
His insanity was the result of a
heavy blow received at the hands OF
footpads in the city of Denver, on
Stout street. between 18th and lSth
streets. on May 6, 1904.
Mr.. Gregory had Just arrived in
Denver from Salt Lake City, his home
and was taking a stroll through the
business section of the city when he
was assaulted by two unknown men
beaten into insensibility and then rob
bed of all the money he had on his
person. He sooTr regained his senses
and reported the assault TO the po-
lice.
A few hours afterward Mr.. Gregory
dfsa ppeared and nothing was heard
of him for several days, until tele-
gram announced his arrival in Salt
Lake City. Shortly afterward his
mind became unbalanced and ne was
committed to the Provo asylum The
men who assaulted him were never
arrested.
The deceased was well known in
railway and live stock circles
throughout the entire west and had
many warm friends in this city, who
will hear with regret of his death
Every effort was made to clear MS
mind that clouded it from the time
ne was struck. but nothing availed-
He was a man of genial temperament
and liked by all who knew him

An IMMENSE AUDIENCE ASSURED

The sale of seats for "Parsifal. -
to be seen this evening at the Park
opera house has been up to the eN-
pectations of the management and
one of the largest audiences that has
witnessed a production at the opera
house during the season will be as
sembled tonight.
The interest manifest in the pro-
duction of the famous sacred drama
by Il thoroughly competent company
in this city, has been widespread and
the people are naturally expecting IA
magnificent performance this evening
and il is hardly probable that they
will be disappointed. The company
has given satisfaction i'm every city
it has been seen in this season and
the production is said TO be extremely
beautiful.
Some idea of the massive and elab-
crate settings for the different acts
can be gathered from the fact that
the manager of the opera calls upon
Manager Haskell to furnish eighteen
stage hands while the company car
ries twelve. making "a total of thirty
men, required to handle the scenery
during the evening.
The performance will not begin
this evening until S:45 O'Clock in
order that many of the business men
who desire to attend can do so with
OUT having to leave their business at
an early hour as this is Saturday
night. the busiest night OF The week
The company consists of over fifty
people and the Interpretation of all
of the leading characters is said to
be highly satisfactory.
Those who enjoy truly great the
atrical production should not fail to
see this famous play tonight for
"Parsifal' is indeed one OF the most
notable productions of the country.
Many out-of-town people will wit
ness the performance tonight. The
house will probably be filled to its
utmost capacity when the curtain
gives way for the first act at S:45
o'clock.

During the months OF the winter
many exceedingly pretty evening
parties have been given by young lad
les. Especially have the entertain
ments of the young people OF the
several social clubs of the high school
been of a charming nature. These
affairs have ranked among the most
auspicious social functions of the
year.
Last night in honor of the Nu Phi
girls one of the most happy social
clubs composed of young ladies OF
the high school, Misses Cornelia Col
Inns and Helen Bunting entertained
at the homes OF the young ladies

devoted to the pleasures of whist

GREENWATER AS IT IS TO-DAY

All the properties upon which de-
velopment work is being done are look
ing more and more promising. The
ledge on the Saratoga has widened to
five feet and is still growing. The
values are also increasing. They are in
the form of glance and sulphate. The
Furnace Creek Copper company. Patsy
Clark's property, will go to the 500-foot
mark before it runs mother crosscut.
"On the Red Boy there is a ledge
about one hundred feet wide. The values
are high, but somewhat bunehy on the
surface. Operations have been started
on the Bonanza, which adjoins the Sara
toga. Surface prospecting is in pro-
gress on the Black Jack. The Green
water-Death Valley shows four feet of
red oxide and glance.
In brief, the entire Greenwater coun-
try looks most promising. The belt ex-
tends as far as Willow creek, fifteen
miles %soItherly. Fou claims there
sold the other day for $4,000 cash and
a stock consideration. 1t is rumored
that another group has just been turned
for half a million dollars, but l can not
state that as a positive fact.

belt there are fine assays being obtained
