Resume Work on WhidnQ.

Laner Il Co., lessees on the West Whit
ing, the shaft house of which was totally
destroyed by fire two weeks ago, have
already started work of retimbering the
shaft, which was burned to depth of
twenty feet. Work on the shaft house
will be commenced shortly, but the men
wanted to repair the shaft so that they
cold proceed with the breaking OF ore in
the levels while the builoing is being
constructed. This ore, of course will
not be holsted for some time, or until
the top building is completed sufficiently
and the machinery repaired or replaced.
The ore which the lessees are breaking
is from very rich streak and runs over
three ounces gold to the ton. Twenty
live tons were broken and ready for
hoisting when the fire stopped work in
the mine.

Mrs. Forester Dies.

Mrs. Eva Forester, wife Of Rev. R.
81. Forester, who was taken to the
Oakes Home in Denver three weeks ago.
died Of tuberculosis, Tuesday morning
at 10 o'clock. Services over the remains
were held yesterday at Rogers under
taking parlors and were in charge OF DR..
Ami B Hyde, Of Denver University, a
very close friend OF the deceased. About

terday afternoon to Pleasantville, Ia,
for burial.
Mrs. Forrester's maiden name was
Eva Poison. She was born in Pleasant
vile, Ia, twenty-seven years ago.
While attending Simpson college at In
dianola, Ia, she made the acquaintance
Of Mr.. Forester. Three years ago they
were married. At Indianola deceased
contracted the disease which resulted in
her death, the malady making such
great inroaGs into her health during her
last year at college she was compelled
to quit four months before graduation.
Shortly after their marriage Mr.. and
Mrs. Forester came to Colorado, think

the latter's rapidly failing condition.
They located at Victor, going from there
to University park, and afterwards COM
ing to this city.
Mrs. Forester took great interest IN
her husbands work and was q wise
counsellor. She was very slow to make

disposition was such that during her
struggle to get we'll she seemed ever
happy and contented. Rev. Mr.. Forres-

NORTH STAR MILL
10 Be Started Up In Two Weeks on Ores
From The Ann Rutlsdgs Company's
Property.
Output OF NINE 10 TAX CAPACITY OF MILL

Mr.. James Mcmillan, manager Of the
North Star mine on Yankee hill, is maxi
ing arrangements to start up the new
mill Of the North Star company, in a
couple Of weeks. This mill was COM
pleted about month ago and is complete
and up-to date in every particular. 1t
is 10.stamp mill Of the gravity system,
fast drop, with a capacity Of twenty five
tons per day. The mill is located on
Grizzly hill, only short distance from
the mine, with good supply of water
on hand for all needed purposes. This
mill is designed to treat the ores Of the
North Star mine exclusively and will no
doubt give the best OF satisfaction, as
no pains or expense have been spared to
make this one OF the most perfect in the
county.
The North Star mine has been devel-
oped for the past five years, the ore being
treated at the Black Hawk stamp mills
and gave such satisfactory returns that
the company concluded to build a mill
OF their own near the mine and save the
long and expensive haul to Black Hawk.
The North Star is located near the old
Mann lode-in fact is supposed to he the
same vein. The Mann in early days pro-
duced some wonderfully rich ore ON sur.
face and was one Of the wonders Of the
camp. A large force Of miners are to be
put to work on the mine breaking ore
and the output of the mine will tax the
full capacity Of the mill. From the man
ner in which operations have been pushed
at the North Star property during the
past few months it looks as though the
company were very we'll satisfied with
their holdings and have not the least
doubt OF making the North Star one Of
the leading producers OF the district.
The property is operated by the Ann
Rutledge Gold Mining company who
have great faith in the property andex-
pect to he shortly paying handsome divi-
dends to the stocB holders.

CENTRAL CITY MEETS DEFEAT.
Arvada Teams Clean up The Locals in Short
Order.

The basket ball teams of the Central
City High Sch ool went down to glorious
defeat at the hands of Arvada on Satur-
day night. There was an immense
crowd at the armory to witness the con-
teet. and they seemed to be as much en-
tertained as il the home teams had won.
The High School had sheet of songs,
and the hall rang with yells and sougs
as the grilling contest went on. Arvada
brought along as referee a youth who
had no experience at the business, and
the result was that, through his inability
to see the plays, Arvada Boys team got
a lead Of three points in the first halt Of
the game. 1t was disheartening to the
home team, and they showed in the Sec
ond half that the spirit was gone. Bask-
ct followed basket for the visitors, un-
til the final score stood at 30 to 12.
The girls covered themselves with
glory. The team from Arvada is an old
one with much experience. They out
weighed the locals many pounds; but
when the team lined up and the ball was
put in play, it looked as though they had
met their match.
1t was only lack Of experience that lost
the game. This is the first game that
the present team has ever played, and it
was expected they would be badly de-
feated. They set pace that wss wond-
erful. The Arvada girls were hardly
able to keep their feet, and one OF them
tainted from exertion and excitement.
The game ended at last with a score OF
10 to IA in favor Of the Arvada girls.
The game Of Saturday was tn Q last of
season. There may be an Alumni game
later, but no teams will come from a dis
tance. The teams have PLAYED nothing
but champions, and have made won.
derful showing for the first season. The
athletic society of the High School will
probably close up its affairs by giving an
invitation ball in the armory.

DELMoNIco TO START UP.
Noted Producer on Quartz Hill viii Be In
Operation By The 18th.

Arrangements are about completed
for the resumption OF operations on the
Delmonico mine. located on the top of
Quartz hill. This property is owneo by
the Delmonico Gold Mines company and
has been idle little more thau a year.
1t is an old property, depth of l, ,435 It.
having been sunk in the shaft, and when
in operation before was regarded as the
leading producer OF the county at that
time. Not only was it the principal pro
ducer Of the camp in point Of quantity
of ore, but richness also. While the
values OF the mill dirt were nothing ex-
ira the smelling returns showed up
handsomely, the ore running as high as
$485.OO to the ton. This high grade ore
was extracted from the shaft mostly while
sinking was being prosecuted. Very lit
tie drifting was done on the property
while it was being operated in 1904. AL
though levels have been run at every 100
feet, none Of them are over 200 feet in
length. -
E. Stefan, who will have charge OF the
property, claims that he will be ready to
commence work about the 18th Of this
month. The mine has been looked after
properly during it's short period OF idle
ness and very little il any repairs are
necessary to either the top buildings or
the machinery. There is very little wa
ter in the workings as the mine is drain
ed almost entirely by the Newhouse tun.
mel and the Alps. What little water
has drained into the lower ev 8
can be lifted in short time. Upon com
mencing operations again it is the inten-
ton OF the company to work the prop
erty more extensively than it was worked
in 1904, which will be a big item to Gil
pin county, as at that time a very large
force Of miners was engaged. Quartz
hill, where the Delmonico is located, and
for considerable distance south, is be-
yond a doubt the richest mining section
Of the county. There are properties on
the hill which IN years past were IA
nous as producers Of the yellow metal.
These properties, or many Of them, have
been idle for periods ranging from two
to ten years, and are now starting up
with encouraging frequency. Not few
mines in this rich section have been put
in shape within the past few months and
others will be added to the long list OF
properties that companies have com.
menced to operate in Gilpin county this
year.

citizens OF this county to know some.
thing Of the makeup Of The Faraday
Mining Co., now operating the Argo
mine in Russell gulch, and also some
thing of this promising property, which
has been closed down for perhaps ten
years.
The company is composed principally
of Chicago men. The president, Mr..
Joseph Hopp, is wide awake young
business man of that place. DR.. Charles
B. Gibson, the we'll Known Chicago ge-
ologist and metallurgist, is secretary and
Mr.. s. William Polkey, rising young
attorney-also Of Chicago-is treasurer
The concern is close corporation, there
being no stock on ths market.
The Argo mine is certainly we'll locat.
ed, being surrounded on all sides by old,
long winded producers. In drifting east
from the main shaft it is expected that
the Alva Adams vein will be picked up
at distance of about 200 feet, and the
Chase vein crosses the Argo at about
300 feet east. The mineral occurs in a
true fissure vein, from three to five feet
in width between walls, and the ore chute
is known to be at least 300 feet in length.
A drift has been run on the sixty foot
level for 125 feet east where it connects
with another shaft. From this drift the
ore has been stopped out to surface, and
this block Of ground produced not less
than 100000 net, while worked by les
sees in desultory manner. The ore is
an iron-copper sulphide, carrying values
OF from two to ten ounces in gold per
ton, together with considerable silver
and high percentage Of copper Our
genial old friend, Mr.. Thomas Cudahy,
who is vigorously pushing the work Of
development on the property, states that
it is "crack-a jack" and when Tom be-
comes enthusiastic about property it
must be altogether out Of the ordinary.
At present some trouble is experienced
on account OF surface water and the
usual debris which always accumulates
in shaft which is imperative, but the
management is now prepared to remove
these obstacles and when this is done
active development work will proceed.
1t is the intention to sink the shaft 200
feet below the present lowest level, which
is 16O feet deep, and to drift east on COM
pletion Of each 100 foot lift, for perhaps
500 feet. To accomplish this work the
company has erected a new shaft house
and installed thirty five horse power
boiler and 1Ox12 single engine. A new
road has been constructed to facilitate
the hauling of ore and the delivery OF
coal and other supplies.
The force Of men will be increased as
opportunity offers and it is confidently
expected that in comparatively short
time the Argo will rahk with the big
shippers of Gilpin county.

to the interest and profit of the residents
OF Central City and Gilpin county to
trade with the local merchants. Though
thsjef. his remarks were right to the
point and logical. His address follows:
"Mr. President and Gentlemen:
