long DELAYED necessary city improv-

force of Colorado & Southern employees
started work on the erection of substan-

mp Assailed by Series Of Rich Strikes
eee Payment Find Followed
Sh.fer. Gem. Matte and Orr Mines.

In blind drift from tine stope in the
Pike-Ro~e lease on the sixth level of the
Little Matte mine. there is exposed four
and one half feet of ore so rich in native
gold that the leasers are almost afraid to
break it down. The ore showed up on
Thursday of this week and is so rich that
the men hesitate about taking it down on
account of the difficulty of saving the
gold. The native yellow metal is in a
dark colored. soft material, and Is in the
form Of leaves, wire and small nuggets
SO that when taken down with a pick
or gad it crumbles and falls apart in
such a manner that care must be exer-
cised to. save the small PARTICLES OF gold.
Ore of similar character has been en-
countered before in the mine, but never
in the quantity now showing. No assays
have been made and none need be taken

quality and extent The breast Of the

January 29 Carnation Day.

"Wear carnatiou on January 40
Join with patriotic citizens OF the Uuited
States in paying tribute in memory of a
great American, a martyr to his country
and to Patriotism
Such is the request that is being circt
lated all over the country from Dayton
Ohio, the headquarters of the Carnation
League of America. 1t is for the purpos=
of keeping green the memory of the late
President Nick kinley; to instill in the
minds of the youth of the country the
lessons Of patriotic devotion to duty OF
which William McKinly was for year
the living example, that this movement
was started two years ago. The nslg-
MIA of the league is the carna,it II, the
favorite flower of the martyr president.
Carnation day, January, 49, has be
come known throughout the world and
all patriots are falling into line to honor
the dead. 1t was in January 1925, that
the custom of wearing the carnatlon was
first started and SO rapidly has it grown
that last year the supply of carnations
were exhausted early in the day. Many
prominent men in public life, including
the president, vice president and CON
gress, are directors of the leagne and
assist in spreading the lessons of patriot
ism.
Personal letters have been sent through
out the United States by Lewis G. Rey-
nolds, of Dayton, one of the trustees
reminding the people of the significance
of the day and asking them to wear
carnation. The creed of the Carnation
league is contained in the following:
Believing that the future greatness Of
of the country can best be assured by a
growth of good citizenship among all
the people. and that good citizen
ship may be promoted by keeping fresh
in our hearts and minds the best tradi-
tions of our country, and that this can
in measure be accomplished by pro-
per observance of all our national days,
charge myself from this time forward,
to give thoughtful consideration to the
patriotic lesson presented by each day
and to endeavor to have others do the
same.''

The shift of las. Saturday working in
the breast of the lateral on the Orr vein
from the Newhouse tunnel level at a
point little over 500 feet east of the
tunnel. struck a Io-inch streak of smelt, =,
ing ore. the assays or which show it to
contain 545 ounces gold and s. 8
ounces silver per ton and twelve per cent
lead, the gross value being over $Ioo per
ton. The find was made on the foot
wall aud is alongside of from two to three
feet of milling ore in which the lateral
has been driven for some distance.
The milling ore is of free milling char
acter and carries values of from IS to
SII per ton. The strike is encouraging
to the management, as the development
quite body OF the ore, and the indi-
cations are that good sized ore shoot
has been encountered. Manager Frank
Esshom, of the Orr Gold Mining and
Smelling company, came up from Den
yer the fore part of the week to inspect
the new strike, and is greatly pleased
with the present showing Heretofore
small seams and punches of smel,ing
ore have oeen encountered which car
ried good values, but none of them gave
indications of permanency, aud the
present strike is regarded as a handsome
reward for persisteucy.

at the eleventh level, yesterday, discov-
cred q six-inch streak OF telludum ore,
assays OF which made today show it to
contain I2I ounces gold and So ounces
silver per ton, or to have a market value
of sass per ton, or fI.zz pound. The
block of ground is under lease to o. II.
Shaffer & Co., and extends 100 feet cas-,
of the shaft and for 400 feet high. A
PAINFUL of the rock roasted in an assay
furnace this morning boiled out beads of
gold of suitable size for shirt studs.
The drift has been driven but a little
over fifty feet, and this week settlement
was made for a shipment Of thirty five
tons of ore taken out in driving, which
gave returns al the rate of nearly $50 per
ton, aud the leasers were congratulating
themselves on their bonanza lease, not
having any expectation of the rich find
made for them accidentally yesterday.
An investlg gation is being made today to
ascertain whether the entire supposed
tootwall is composed of the same quality
OF rich material for its present length,
and shipment of the ore will be sacked
up at once. The face Of the drift will be
driven ahead with as many men as can
be worked advantageously

DANCER AvERTED
VIGILANCE OF NIGHT WATCH MITCHELL
SAVES PROPERTY.
NOT ASHES START CONFEDERATION
DISCOVERED IN NICK or TIME WHILE A
HIGH WIND BLOWING.

At O'Clock Yesterday morning fire
was discovered by Night Watch Mitchell
at the rear OF the Fabian house on the
corner OF Fourteenth avenue and Idaho
street, southeast from the depot, At
about the same time, Mrs Chas Winans,
an occupant of the building, smelled
smoke and with the aid Of several buckets
OF water was fortunately able to queneh
the flames before they had gained much h
headwsy and before an alarm was sound
ed.
It IL thought that the fire started from
some hot ashes which had been dumped
into . wooden barrel during the day.
The ashes burned through the slaves,
falling into quantity of rubbish nearby
which mad been placed there by Mr.
Fabian In clea lng up a part of the house
Thursday. The fire had probably been
smoldering for some hours and as the
wind came up it was quickly fanued into
flames, just prior to its discovery BY the
ever visllant night police high wind
was blowing at the time and had the
flames gotten started serious conhagra
tiou would have resulted The buildings
in the immediate vicinity, and probably
the whole block would have been de.
stroyed, and it was very fortunate that
the blaze was discovered and extiugushed
before any dam age was done.
Extreme caution should be used in
dumping hot ashes, as carelessness may
result in seriously leopard zinp much
valuable property AT present there is an
ample water supply in the city reservoirs,
thanks to the aldermanic board, but it
would not take many hours of fire fight
ing 10 drain the reservoirs, a contingency
however, which will not arise if due eau
ton is observed by citizens.
City Marshal O'Rourke as announced
that all violators of the city ordinance in
respect to throwing hot ashes in places
where they become a menace to property,
will be vigorously and relentlessly prose-
cuted.

The efforts of the local democratic
mouthplece to create the impression that
a few cases OF mountain fever II the city
are virulent form of deadly t phoid
fever, and that the illness is caused by
the "ousted members of the city Council''
IS about the most idiotic break that the
erratic editor of the Gazette has ever
made. An equally ridiculous report was
in circulation this morning to the effect
that dead horse had been found in the
III the city reservoir Both of these re-
ports are the result of drinking too much
high proof goods, or of too frequent visits
to a Chinese laundry.
If the water system was the cause of
the few cases Of mild typhoid fever there
would undoubtedly be an epidemic.
Many causes contribute to the p,op4ga-
ton of the typhoid germ. and it may be
contracted by eating celery, lettuce. or
other vegetables raised in the garbage
beds near Denver, or from milk from
unsanitary dairys, where the animals
are allowed 10 feed ou stable refuse.
