The advertising committee of the
Chamber Of Commerce has scheme on
foot to have the panoramic view Of the
county, taken by A. Thomas, repro
duced on good quality Of glazed pa
per, and distribute the pictures through
out the east. The virw shows the sec
ton OF the county from Bobtail to Gun
nell hill, with the numerous roa Is,
gulches and smaller hills. together with
the mines and mills therou. 1t is an un.
usually attractive view of mountainous
section, and if the committee can carry
out its designs, the distribution of the
pictures would be good and lasting ad.
for Gilpin county. 1t is proposed to
raise the money necessary for the venture
by subscriptions from the citizens OF the
county.

The first car OF cement for the dam to
be constructed by the city at the foot of
james peak, has arrived and workmen
will commence construction work at
once. The dam will only be built to a
heighth of ten feet this year and subse.
quently, should it become necessary, the
heighth will be increased to twenty feet.
With twenty foot dam at the base Of
the peak it is estimated that enough wa

Of consumption, to last Central City

J. z. Bamberger, president Of the

honor of Daniel Guggenheim and other
distinguished visiting mining men of
his party, previous TO their departure
for San Francisco. Covers were laid

only the visitors, but several local
men of prominence in the mining
world, as follows: Daniel Guggen-

During the table talks many cOmpli-

future, it is said, was painted in rosy
cOlOrs. Following the banquet the
visitors left for the depot, and, with
their private car attached to the train
leaving for Ogden at 11:45, they began
their journey to the coast. There is
a possibility that they will return
through Utah a week later, but it is
not expected that they will stop off
here.

A6vices from the Carrie Mack compa-

the shaft is going down at a satisfactory
pace and that good ore is being taken
out. The same is true of the drift being
run north in the vein on the 1OO-fOot level

ORDERING A COMPRESSOR.
Manager of Odin Property Comes for
That Purpose.

Henry Welsh, the Park City business
man and manager of the Odin Mining
cOmpany's properties, is down from the
Park figuring with machinery houses
for a compressor plant with which it is
proposed TO equip the mines just as
soon as it is possible to haul heavy
material to the mine.
II would rather not say anything
about the compressor, said Mr.. Welsh,
until we have had it installed. 1t is
one thing to talk about doing such
thing at this time of the year and an
other to do it. We must have power
drills, however, and the mine will be
equipped just as soon as we can get a
plant on to the ground"
Mr.. Welsh stated that the property
was opening UP well, but he did not
want the impression to get out that all
the ore encountered was of such high
grade character as had frequently been
reported 1t was true, he said, that
lots of firSt-class ore did make, but the
mass of il would be claSSed as milling
ore. Just before leaving camp he was
advised by c. H. Gitsch, the mine fore
man, that first-class carbonate ores
were being encountered in the raise
that was recently started to prospect
the ledge above the tunnel level, and it
looked as though a big shoot of il
would be developed. Manager Welsh
considers that enough work has now
been done on the property to demon
strate that il will make a mine of no.
mean magnitude. and the purpose of
equipping the property with a COM
pressor plant Is that the ore bodies
may be all the faster opened up. He
will return to camp tomorrow.

got through and points in the report
were discussed, he was highly compli-
mented for what he had done and re-
ceived vote of thanks.
The report showed, among other
things, that sufficient development
work had been done in the West Quin-
cy property to disclose the same con-
tact and ore-bearing assures that have
made some of the neighboring mines
famous. 1t explained the work that
had been through the Little Bell; told
of the ore encountered in the shaft
workings and the drift run through
from the Little Bell; how the water
was cut and how, with his contract
with that company at an end, he had
suspended operations pending the
making of other arrangements for get
ting in and draining the West Quincy
ground from deep workings of neigh
boring mines
He explained that negotiations were
pending with the Daly-West and DAILY
Judge companies for permission to
open the West Quincy from some of
the other deep workings and this ne
hopes to accomplish in the near future.
In case such negotiations should fail,
he pointed out that 1t would only be
a matter of time till his company's
ground would become drained through
the neighbors' operations, anyhow, so
he felt that, if need be, his company
could well afford to wait.
Following the submission and appro-
val of all reports, officers and direc-
tors for the ensuing year were elected
as follows: President and general
manager, G.. d. B. Turner; vice presi-
dent, J. H. MoyIe; secretary and treas
