Italian Lodges VIII Observe October 18th
With Music, Parades and Dancing

On Friday, October 18th, the Christie
pher Columbus lodge will celebrate Co.
lumbus day and are making preparations
for one of the grandest celebrations ever
held in honor of the discover of America
The observance of the day this year will
be the first time it has been observed as
a holiday, it having been made SO a short
time ago by legislative enactment
October 18th is the day on which
Christopher Columbus discovered land
on this continent in 1892, and the lodge
of this city bearing his name will cele
brate the anniversary of the event with
parades, band concerts and dance in
the evening. The big parade, headed by
Satrino's band, of Denver, will form at
the lodge rooms of the Columbus So
ciety and then march to the Church Of
the Assumption where services will be
held. Besides the Columbus lodge, the
Alpina Americana, of Russell Gulch and
the G. I. l. S. will participate in the par
ade. Visitors from lodges outside the
county will also participate in the march
and the festivities. After the parade
disbands concerts will be given by the
band at the corner near the postoffice.
In the evening the celebration will wind
up with big ball. This ball is not
given particularly for the members of
the lodges composed mainly OF Italians,
but for the people of Central City and
Gilpin county. Satriano will not only
furnish the band music for the parade
but the orchestra music for the dance.
The Columbus lodge will consider every
one in attendance at their grand ball
their guests and will do all in their power
to make the event a decided social sue
cess.

The Joseph Newman Companu.

1t is always pleasure to announce
the coming OF the Joseph Newman COM
pany, for it means another evening of de-
lightful songs, music and little plays.
Mr.. Newman has field in the show line
that seems to be peculiarly his own. He
couldn't head grand opera company if
he tried. AS an actor, he probably ranks
with those whom We confess to play
minor part, But so does Riley, as poet,
so did Gene Field, and so in measure
do all those who with simple Jest, gentle
and tender pathos and sympathy, play
lightly and sweetly upon our heart
strings. And it is in these quiet touches
after all, that do more for us than the
tense tragedy, the flight OF oratory and
the display of pomp and blare of the
greater stage
So Mr.. Newman comes to US each sea-
son, and everyone is glad to see him. He
always has the happy faculty of gather
ing around him bevy of artists in their
line, and his performances are always
smart. With him again this season are
..'7S 'ANN DAO"hi pihuiSls huu MISS Ohr-
lotta Bixler, violinist, both OF whom are
most favorably known here. The singer
this season will be Miss Greta Rost, who
has rich unique contralto voice of uuu-
sually low range, suited to dramatic sing
ing Among her selections will pc a pc
culiar wierd song, "rhe Haunt of the
Witches" and Greene's tender lullaby
Sing Me to Sleep" which will bo given
with violin obligato.
The little comedies this year will be
First Aid to the Injured" and "Wo-
mans Proper Place." neither of which
has ever been presented here by Mr..
Newman or anyone else. They are bright
smarty.written up to date comedies in
which there is vein of humor that is
dainty and refined. "Woman's Proper
Place" must be seen to be appreciated.
The engagement will be for one even
ing only at the Opera House, Saturday,
Oct. 9th. Reserved seats may be SO.

OPERATIONS IN RUSSELL INCREASING DAILY

The Mascot Mining & Milling Co.,
who are working the Estella mine in up
per Chase gulch, are doing very good.
A lift of 80 feet has been sunk, which
now gives the mine depth OF 200 feet,
three shifts being employed. They start
ed to drift at the bottom Tuesday and a
sump is now being made to hold the wa
ter, which makes quite little. There is
nice streak OF lead ore from 6 to IA
inches in the 120-foot level, although
some copper is beginning to show up.
The last run OF ore that was taken out
by the company averaged about s33 to
the ton. In the lower drifts the breasts
will be driven in distance of about 500
feet. This will allow for good deal OF
stopping ground. The company has a
lease and bond on the property, which
comprises sixteen mining claims.

Maloney & Reilley who are operating
the Spur property in Prosser gulch are
doing fine these days. They made a
shipment of ore to the smelter Tuesday,
and also have some mill dirt about ready
to ship. The tunnel is in distance of
200 feet and the crevice which has now
opened up from to s inches promises to
pay handsomely. Several weeks ago a
run of this ore was made which gave
values of $50 to the ton. At the' breast
of the tunnel the vein seems to turn and
then pitch downward, and also increases
in density. From here they are driving
winze to follow the same.

The Powers mine in Willis gulch is

OF smelling ore is being shipped every
week from the mine to the valley smelt-
ers. At present they are driving the 200
foot level and soon expect to get under
the old shaft just east OF the present
one, where it is expected that there is a
good body OF Valuable ore. In former
days when this property was worked
from this point extra large values were
taken out of this shaft. A number of
other miners will be put to work in a few
days as the company intends also to
work the 270 foot level The ore that is
being shipped is taken from the breast
Of the 20O-fo levels. The winze in this
level also shows some very good values.

to the smelter. The ore runs very good,
the values being uniform, which places
