Communication 10 Republicans.

1t is about time for something to be
said and done in regard to the policy and
actions OF the Republicans Of Gilpin
county, looking forward to the fall elec.
tions.
MIR. Farley young man, Johnnie vi
vian. has been and is making himself
very obnoxious to the rank and file of
the party in Gilpin and other counties;
he has enlisted in his interests certain
self appointed and would be leaders in
this county, who bow to him with all
servilty, anything he may order is done
without question; these parties are Mike
X. Sullivan, Flor Ashbaugh and w. C.
Matthews, with Ed. Mitchell as errand
boy; these parties who have nothing to
lose and all to gain, enter into Vivian's
schemes blindly and without regard to
the will or the wishes Of the Republicans
or Of the party, their conceit and assur-
ance is immense.
1t would be well for the party to look
into their performances, as at this falls
election we have to fill large number
OF the most important Offices in the gift
OF the people. We have to elect a CON-
plete set OF state officers, members OF
Congress, member OF state General
Assembly, District Judge, and the next
General Assembly will elect United
States Senator from Colorado.
Now the question is, will the part
submit to the dictation OF these self.
constituted bosses, who foist themselves
upon the party OF their own motion, or
will they simply turn them down and
say to them, we will not enoure your
offensive actions. 1t is up to the people
OF the party to do something, unless
they intend to tamely submit to the
domination OF these fellows.

THE KIRK NINE SOLD
Famous Property In Leavenworth Bought By
Ls. Nesmith For $4,000 Noted
Pltchbende Producer.

An important transfer OF mining prop
erty was made Saturday when the ia
nous Kirk mine, located in Leavenworth
gulch, was sold by Hal Sayr. Harper M
Orahood and Jos. A. Thatcher, of Den
YER, to L. G. Nesmith, OF this county, fol
$4,000 cash.
The Kirk mine has been worked fol-
some years by the new owner under a
lease from the Denver parties. Besides
containing gold and silver the mine has
large quantities Of pitchblende, rare
and costly mineral which is only found
in one or two mines in America. Last
October Mr.. Nesmith took a ten. ton
shipment OF this ore from the Kirk to
Germany where he had no trouble in
disposing OF it to chemists in Hamburg
The pitchblende Mr.. Nesmith shipped
to the foreign country was OF the highest
grade and sold for more than $500 per
pound.
The Kirk mine in Gilpin county is the
only one producing pitchblende in guam.
titles in America, although the mineral
is found in small quantities in the Ger.
man and Wood properties, which are 10.
Gated in the same district as the Kirk
According to Mr.. Nesmith, who is "a
miliar with the history OF the mine he is
operating, pitchblende was discovered in
working the property forty years age
when it was first operated for gold and
silver. The operators ran across small
pocket OF the mineral and not knowing
at that time what pitchblende was
thought it was blackjack, as it caused
the plates to clog when the ore was being
treated for gold and silver, preventing
the proper values from being extracted.
In 1878, DR.. Pierce, who was working
the Kirk mine at that time, discovered
that it was pitchblende, and made a
small shipment to Swansea, Wales, for
treatment, but the high cost of shipping
and treatment, and the low price obtain
ed at that time for the finished article
discouraged him from making more than
one shipment. About ten years ago, les
sees who were operating the Kirk mine
pitchblende.
Mr.. Nesmith intends to continue Cd.
ations On the Kirk. but on a much larger
scale than he has while merely holding
a lease and bond on the property. He
also contemplates making improvements
and enlargements to the machinery and
surface buildings, but will not be in a
position to say what these will be until
he returns from business trip to New
York, which will be within ten days OF
two weeks.

baseball is as fast do-day as it was a few
years ago There is reason. The sup
ply Of good bali players is not equal 10
the demand. There are so many leagues
now that the fast men are in the minor

ent generation takes the chances In slid

doesn't seem TO be the enthusiastic spirit
that once was such a marked character

come to ne and / often ask myself: "As
