FOUND A SKELETON
Workmen in Building Find Piece of
a Skeleton Which Causes Sensation

Skeleton Which Causes Sensation
Stories of a dark and awful crime
were floating about Main street this
morning and the clue which the offic-
ers found to the stories led them to
the Kimba11 block on Main street
where carpenters had been at work
making some repairs in one of the
rooms on the second floor Of the build
ing. One of the rear rooms of the
building had formerly been used by a
doctor as consultation room and in
this he had left a portion of ske1e-
ton. When the carpenters found the
gruesome thing they fled from the
room and it was some time before
they consented to return to work.
Later the circumstances we're ex-
planned, but it was too late to stop the
story and it is still reported that evil
dence of a murder most foul was
found.

Fire al the SIeepq Hollow.

A fire started in the coal house of The
Sleepy Hollow mine Sunday morning at
about seven o'clock, caused, it is sup
posed from spontaneous combustion,
water having leaked from the roof onto
the coal. The fire department from
Black Hawk responded to the alarm and
had the blaze under control within the
space OF very few minutes after arriv-
ing at the scene Of the fire. Consider.
able damage was done to the boiler house
and the shaft house was slightly burned.
The machinery was not injured in the
leasts The damage will amount to be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. Several days
will be required to get the boiler and
buildings in shape before operations can
be resumed ut the mine.

Dru MlIIlnq Process For Gettysburg.

Considerable development work has
been done on the Gettysburg mine in Gil
pin, owned by the Square Deal Mining
company and managed by Capt. A. M.
Willard, since operations were resumed
last April. The mine had been idle prior
to that time since 1900. Among needed
improvements made by the present op-
orators, a large pump was recently in
stalled to keep the workings drained Of
the water. Drifting is being pushed on
the Gettysburg and Independence veins
and very good grade Of milling dirt is
being taken out.
During the latter part OF this summer
the company intends to erect good
sized mill near the Gettysburg to treat
the ore. The system of treatment Of the
new plant will be what is known as the
dry process, no water whatever being
used. The ore is first ground and pull
verified after which it passes through a
roaster of intense heat, which eliminates
all moisture. 1t is then run through
small fan blowers, and the silica thus
forced through various sizes OF screens,
leaving the gold, silver and copper val
ues. No water being used there are no
shines to carry away the slightest values.
Ore from the Gettysburg was taken to
New York short time ago and was
treated by the new process and the re-
suits obtained we're very satisfactory,
the Square Deal people concluding at
once that the dry system OF treatment
was superior to the old. When this mill
is erected it will be the only one Of its
kind in the western section Of the coun-
try. All the ore that is being taken out
Of the Gettysburg and Independence is
being saved, awaiting treatment by the
new mill, and consequently several hun
dred tons OF mill dirt will be accumu-
lated by the time the plant Is ready for
operation.

"mu Yankee Girl"
operation

One OF the latest musical compositions
to reach our desk is march song COM
posed by Philip c. Curtis, entitled, my
Yankee Girl" 1t is published by the
Tolbert r. Ingram Music company, of
Denver, and although from the press
only short time has already met with a
wide sale in the large cites. The words
and music of the song are catchy and as
the title would imply, expressive Of the
true American sentiment and love OF the
fairer sex. The song is on sale at Hynd-
mans, in This city, and is bound to be-
come popular with the music lovers as
soon as they have had the pleasure of
hearing it.
Mr.. Curtis, the composer, is resident
OF Russell gulch and has been employed
as engineer at the Old Town mine the
past two years. The gentleman possesses
unusual musical talent, both as writer
and performer. He is also cornet player
in the Russell gulch band and is leader
Of the orchestra at that place.

4 Good Game For Sundaq.

The Plumbers, OF Denver, crossed
bats with the Central City team here
Sunday last and, OF course, were defeat
ed, the score being IA to in favor of
the home boys. The game was not par
ticularly interesting, the visitors being
too far outclassed. Rain prevented the
game being played without interruption,
and the players were compelled to seek
the shelter Of the grand stand several
times.
Next Sunday, the Colorado Iron
Works, one OF leading mines of Denver
will play here. II the Centrals can
win from this team their name will go
down in baseball history as the invinci-
BILE champions of 1906. This contest for
state supremacy should be witnessed by
everyone as by attending the game you
will not only be treating yourself to
something OF rarity in the baseball
line. but through your patronage will
enable the management to get the first
class teams Of the state. 1t requires a
goodly sum OF money to defray the
expe nses OF an aggregation such as the
Iron Works and by all means attend

The first prize was $4,000. w. Roberts,

He drilled 10 3 inches, which was two
inches less than he drilled here. The

participate in the firemen's races, were
barred. 1t seems that the boys didn't
make their entry in sufficient time before
the races were run. They were consid.

they been allowed to enter the races
there would have been no question about

PINE CREEK MINES
The Camp is Rapidly Coming to The Front
and Capital Is Eagerly Seeking
Investment There.
THE MACKEY AND EVERGREEN ARE BoNAAzAs

From all indications the Rochester
property will soon be steady producer.
Manager Barrick was here last week and
made arrangements for the installation
Of new machinery, which is now on the
grounds. The foundation for the new
and commodious shaft building has been
completed by Foreman Landis and his
force Of men. Charlie Neal will see to
the installing Of the machinery and in
short time the Rochester will be work
ing full force of men. The shaft is
down distance of 125 feet with large
crevice showing up in the bottom, and
drifting has been carried on until the
management was forced to stop on &C.
count OF the inability to keep the water
out with whim-hence the machinery.
The old reliable Evergreen mine is
steadily pegging along with force OF
between fifteen and eighteen men. Con-
siderable development work has been
done at this property, and Superintend.
ent Walters reports that lift OF 30 feet
has been sunk in the shaft, while dis
tance Of 80 feet has been driven in level
No. l. This company intends to erect
their OWE mill this fall on Pine creek,
when the vast accumulation of the ores
will be treated.
The Mountz e. Palmer mill at the
junction Of Elk and Pine creeks has been
torn down during the past week and
moved to the Mackey mine, where the
mill will be rebuilt and ten additional
stamps added. The ores will be treated
by the cyanide process, and Manager
Mountz says that the Mackey will be one
of tine greatest mines in the northwest
ern part of the county It is to be hoped
he is right, for L. J. is certainly one of
the greatest boosters this section has had
for many day.
Manager Marks reports work at the
Snowden mine in Silver creek as pro-
crossing very nicely. At pres ent only
two men are employed getting every.
thing in readiness, and about the 18th oil
this month the property will start up
with a full force OF men.

Republican Speaks His Mind.
To Republicans:

To Republicans:
With regard to the Withrow commun-
ication published in the Observer last
week, numerous Republicans having
asked me for an expression of my opin-
ion, would say that emphatically
concur with his demeanor and the posi-
tion he has taken.
The communication commands the
esteem as being terse promulgation OF
irrefutable facts.
The careful uncoiling OF a politically
deplorable condition, deeply set in jewels
OF truth.
A series OF truths that are too vital,
too important, too sacred to be brushed
aside by any seriously honest Republi-
can.
Its truth implores every Republi.
can to weigh well his party princi-
pie, and denies the right OF bossism to
debase.
1t seeks unification for the success
Of the party, and abhors the platitudes,
the unwarranted presumption, the ar
rogant boast and the threatening intimi-
dations Of the would.be isms made by
the gang organ in reply.

THE EUREKA TURNING OUT SOME GOOD ORE

The Damon mine on Eureka hill, a
ehort distance from the Orado, and own
ed by Nebraska parties, has been started
up. The working shaft which is row so
feet deep will be sunk to a further depth
of 80 feet when drifts will be run both
ways from the shaft and stoping ground
opened up. In sinking crevice matter
has been taken out which ran better
than hauling and crushing and when
drifting is inaugurated and slopes
opened up the operators expect to get a
much better grade Of ore. 1t is two
years since the property was last worked
and then operations were carried on
with whim. We understand that a
plant OF machinery is to be installed and
the property put in first. class shape and
worked for all there is in it. The owners
