Gazette must congratulate our Gilpin
county friends for their exposition Of
mining in the parade in Denver last
week. The floats depicting mining and
milling from the earliest dates in that
county were commended on all sides.
We Of Clear Creek county know the re-
sources Of Gilpin county. One Of the
floats from here added to the fine display
from our neighbors and showed the link
which will connect the rwo counties and
make them practically one. The Clear
Creek float had the tunnels which would
connect up the shaft houses and mines
OF old Gilpin and make possible the min
ing and extraction Of ores at great depth
for all the Gilpin producers of the past.

Chapel and Miss Cora May folded
their tents and silently moved away"
The destination was Central City, where
no time was lost in securing a marriage
license, as well as the services Of a min
lister. After the nuptial and binding
knot had been tied, the young couple
made use OF the telephone asking the
parental blessing from both sides of the
house. They are now at home in Silver
Plume and are receiving the congratula
tions OF their many friends. The bride
is eighteen years old, while the groom
short time ago reached his majority
