A new peril from the tidal wave
that usually follows an earthquake
is feared at San Francisco. 1t now
looks as if the entire city would
be consumed in flames. Fire is
spreading to the residence district
and threatens the property that es-
capped the earthquake.
The number of death is vari-
ously estimated at from 5000 to
10000, while 100000 have been
rendered homeless. San Fran
cisco is under martial law, federal
troops controlling streets. Scores
of thieves have been shot down by
the troops while attempting to
loot the wrecked buildings.

SPUR DAISY STARTS
Group Of Six Claims on Niger Viii to be Ex.
tenslvely Developed Under
Lease and Bond.
THESE PROPERTIES FORMER HEAVY PRODUCERS

L. A. Hays, of Aspen, and associates
have taken lease and bond on the Mag
gle M. group Of claims on Niger hill.
Three Of the principal claims to be work
ed are the Spur Daisy, st. Anthony and
Bon Ton, the group comprising six
claims in all. The work of getting the
st. Anthony in shape has been begun,
retimbering about completed and the
main shaft, which is about ITO feet deep,
is nearly ready for sinking operations.
Machinery will be placed on the prop
erty Wednesday after which a shaft
house will be erected and the mine put
on first-class working basis. AS soon
as the mine is unwatered sinking and
drifting will be commenced and numer-
GUS miners employed.
The Spur Daisy, the principal claim OF
the group, has past record as gold
producer second to none in the camp for
the amount Of development done on the
property. Cord after cord OF ore has
been taken out Of the Spur Daisy that
gave returns Of 16 ounces gold per cord.
Several good pockets Of this kind OF ore
have been struck in the mine during the
past several years, and the mine has not
as yet been developed to any great ex-
tent. Leasers who worked the mine
about year ago took out some very good
ore and made money.
The Bon Ton, which is also a promis-
ing property, will receive attention from
the company and will be worked in con-
nection with the other claims of the
group.

HEAVY MINING DEAL
The JeIfersoncaIhoun Mining Company |ncor.
porate and Secure Valuable Mines
on Quartz Mil.
OPERATIONS TO COMMENCE RIGHT AWAY.

The biggest mining merger consum-
mated in this section in years was closed
this week, when deeds to a group Of
valuable properties situated on Quartz
hill were placed on file with the county
clerk and recorder. The properties in
clude the consolidation of the Jefferson,
West Jefferson West Calhoun and Capi-
tai Prize mines, located on the south
slope Of Quartz Hill, one Of the main
treasure vaults Of Gilpin county, sec
ton that has poured millions OF gold
into the commercial channels OF the
country, and with proper management
and development should be aga able to
duplicate this record. The new aompany
formed to work these propertis is very
strong one, amply financed. and will at
once begin the expenditure Of 100000
ON the properties before anticipating any
very large results from the mines until
they are more thoroughly opened up and
developed. The dividends will come
later on when good bodies OF stoping
ground are exposed.
The development work is to consist OF
sinking two shafts to depths OF 1000
feet each, one on the West Calhoun and
one on the Jefferson, running levels at
each 100 feet as sinking progresses and
opening the properties with view to
working large force Of miners and max
ing heavy output. The company is
prepared to supply the moaey for this
work-not depending upon the produc-
tion OF the mines.
The West Calhoun is equipped with a
fine shaft house and machinery, but
this will probably be enlarged in order
to enable the company to carry out the
extensive developments contemplated.
A shaft house will in all probability be
erected on the Jefferson, also, and the
two shafts equipped sufficient to sink to
depths Of from 1900 to 1000 feet.
These properties have been worked in
a small way for several years by leasers
who have been well paid for their work
as during the operation OF the properties
they have yielded handsome returns.
Recent shipments of ore taken out
have given values OF s400 per ton. This
is one OF the heaviest mining transac-
tions taking place in the county for some
time, and is also very promising one, as
the properties acquired by the company
are in the immediate locality OF the best
producers OF the county. Denver and
Chicago capitalists are back OF the en-
terprise and are almost certain to come
out with large profits.

We Must Forget, When We FORGIVE.

There are few people-particuIorIy

They forgive with their lips-prohabIv
with their hearts, but their memory
stands aloof and will not take part in
the words of peace and forgiveness they
utter If this is the case those words
of pardon are but empty.
Those who can afford to forgive can
also afford to be generous and forget.
They will never again allow the wrong
once done to them to be even thought of,
nor any mention of it allowed to let

complete; the harm and injury done them

Too often we only forgive with our

Raising Servants Wages.

Every once in while some essayist

exercise, and vacation days over. we are

mile or two in length, and continue them
each day, rain or shine,
