Central EIks viii Make Good Showing.

Perhaps the most unique feature of
the grand Elks' parade in Denver today
will be the turnout of Central City Lodge
No. 557. Almost the entire membership,
numbering over two hundred and twenty
five, will participate. and an exerted
effort will be made to capture the prize.
Central City lodge will represent prac-
tical mining in all its phases. Seven
large floats have been in the course of
construction ip Denver the past ten days.
These will contain scene showing the
underground workings Of mine, with
miners drilling in hard granite with ma
chine and hand drills. One float will
show an entire mill in operation, the
crude ore being crushed, then run
through the stamps, passing over the
plates until finally reduced to concen-
trates. Preceding the floats there will
be thirty or forty Elks in miners attire,
mounted on burros. These will immedi-
ately follow numerous prospectors with
the indispensable pick and shovel

time the prospector discovers the lode,
extracts the ore from the ground, the

process to which the ore is finally sub.
jected, will be shown to the minutest de-
tail.

the Elks from the mining section OF Gill

gress sample sacks containing peacock
and other specimens Of ore carrying high
values will be distributed to the visiting
brethren from the east
Several thousand dollars have been ex.
pended by the Central City lodge in
their endeavors to give the curious thou.
sands an insight to what mining in Gil.
pin county is like. and il they are not
successful in their efforts In winning the
prize, people will nevertheless be treated
to one OF the most novel attractions ever
attempted in parade.
