OUR BOY JIM CAPTURES TEE HEART
OF PRETTY CARMEN.
YOUNG LOVERS IN The lLMEllGHI
ROMANCE WITH POSTAL CLERK AND A
TELEPHONE GIRL.

The Wednesday morning Denver News
contained a picture of Miss Carmen de
Cordovs, formerly resident of SUNNI
side in this city. and ACCOMPANYING the
picture was a story of how James Jayne,
age 10 years, postal clerk under Post
master Trathen, was the favored suitor in
the rivalry for the affections of the pret-
ty Carmen. John W. Easter, l7.year-
old telephone agent at Erie, Colo, had
made the acquaintance of Miss de Cor
dova when the latter was employed
by the Colorado Telephone company in
the Denver offices. The young man had
sent Miss de Cordova a gold ring by
mail bearing his initials, and was press
ing his suit with much ardor over the
telephone, hut lost out IN the game of
hearts.
Miss de Cordova is IS, and is bewitch-
ingly lovely for one OF her age. She and
Jayne became acquainted when the fsm-
lily lived III this city, and since the re-
moval of the family to Denver a couple
Of months ago the young people have ex-
changed letters daily and have had ire
9uent talks over the telephone.
When asked regarding the affair
Jayne said, Il went to Denver Sunday
afternoon and Miss Cordova met me at
the train. She told me she had received
a telephone message from Easter saying
that he WAS coming to see her that eve-
ming, and that she told him tn at she was
going to have company, and had invited
him to meet me. guess he dldn't want
to meet me very badly Jayne was asked
whether the girl had requested him to
go toErie and wipe up the earth with Eas
ter, and stated that such procedure had
not been suggested to him yet. He had
been acquainted with the young lady
for long time, he said, and didn't be-
lieve any other fellow could butt IN at
: this stage of the game.

At 3 O'Clock last Monday morning
the formation of slush ice in the fume
carrying water to the Gem Consolidated
Mines company's lower electric gener-
ating plant two miles below town,
caused . break TO occur in the side Of the
fume at a poirt a quarter Of a mile be-
low Slaughter house gulch. which
washed away about hundred feet. A
force of half a hundred men was en-
ployed for several days in cribbing and
excavating along the mountain side,
where q wooden fume was construc,e d
to carry the water. The break caused a
q suspension of operations in the Gem
mines for several days, but no inconven-
ience to the many patrons of that COM

Burns.k1oore Resumes.

Arrangements are being made for the
resumption of work on the heading OF
the Burns Moore tunnel on Chicago
creek. Contractor Cannsdy. who recent
" returned from a vacation in Oklahoma,
is daily expecting word to resume the
driving of the big bore, and has made all
necessary preparations. The tunnel has
been idle since the unfortunate accident
. of some months ago when one man was
killed by a missed hole. 1t is stated
that in all probability the Magazine shaft
in which good ore showing has been
made, will receive further attention in
the very near future. No announce
ment has been made, but it is understood
that it will not be a great while until a
reduction plant will be erected at the
mouth of the Burns. Moore to handle the
lower grades of ore, enough of which
has alre ady been opened up to justify the
erection of plant. The breast of the
Burns Moore tunnel is just about to pen
citrate the most important and richest
portion of the Ute and Cascade creek
section and the results of the next 700
feet of driving will be watched with in
terest.

Option on Ocean Queen.

FRANK Ducts, we'll kHoWu
mining man in this district, has recently
secured a bond and lease under long and
favorable terms on the international
group of claims on Soda creek, a portion
of which group has been opened blythe
Walker tunnel. The principal vein, or
part of the property opened up so far, Is
the Ocean Queen vein from which has
been shipped hundreds of carloads of
vein is between six and fourteen feet in
width and for a long time two men ex-
tracted carload of ore daily, all Of
which was shipped direct to the
smelters where it returned net profit of
from 81 to SIS per ton. The vein matter
carries gold, silver, iron. lead and cop
per, although frequently not enough
lead and copper to be paid for by the ore
buyers. The gold and silver content
varies considerably, depending upon
which part of the vein is being worked.
The property was operated for some
months under the direction of S. D.
Slyder, an old Aspen mining man, and
although it paid good profit. some
trouble among the stockholders arose
and the company ceased work. By not
complying with the terms of the bond,
the property finally reverted to the orig.
iual owners, one of whom is w. II.
Walker, of Denver.
Nothing is known as to the terms of
the transfer to Mr.. Beers, but it is graft
flying that q gentleman of the latter's
experience should obtain a property
with such ore bodies as the Ocean Queen
is known to possess, as it will no doubt
mean another heavy shipper added to
Idaho Springs output 1t is understood
that Mel crosson will be in charge of the
work for the present, and he is now en-
gagged in taking out a trial shipment of a
couple of carloads of the ore.
Crosson brothers, who are working
their claim on Soda creek from time to
time. made shipment of ore this week
which has not been settled for but which
in ali probability will erun as did the
grab sample, which gave 3.56 ounces
gold and 1880 ounces in silver per ton
and carried IA per cent. copper, or
value Of S12s. 40 per ton. In addition
to the smelling class they have = good
sized shipment of milling ore which has
sampled about 81 per ton and which
will be shipped shortly.

Metropolitan Active.

The Metropolitan mine on Seaton
mountain is undergoing a renovation
under the direction of Gus Heglund a
part owner, who formerly worked the
property nearly quarter of century
ago. The old levels are being cleaned
out and retImbered and the old slopes
are being made accessible. Several por-
tions Of the mine will be worked under
the leasing system, and as there is more or
less medium grade material on the stulls,
it is likely that some of the old slopes
will be run. Smelling charges were
twice as high twenty five years ago
as they are now. and the grades of ore
which could not be shipped then at
profit will pay at the present time es-
pecially if the rock is already broken
down and the only expense would be
tramming, shovel sorting and screening.

RIFLE RESIDENTS SUED.

Hahn's Peak, Colo, Nov. 19.-What
promises to be the most important lit
igation in the history of Routt county
was begun yesterday with the fling by
r. NJ. Van Dusen, clerk of the district
court, of ejectment proceedings against
NJ. +. and l. d. Buckles of Rifle, Colo
by which he seeks control of n 300 foot
strip of rich mining land.
Van Dusen charges that the property
located on Warwell mountain, which is
now in possession of the Buckles, be
longs to him. He alleges that in Octo
Der he sent men to his claims to dc
the necessary assessment work, but that
they were ordered away at the point OF
guns employed by the Buckle, and
since that time Van Dusen has beer
unable to regain possession.
The disputed land runs diagonally
across the junction of two claims be
longing to the Buckles and cut between
them in such manner as to intercept
any veins which may lie in the Buck
les claims.

wHLL-KNoWN BRAKEMAN
DIES FROM INJURIES

W. R. Tommasson, brakeman on the
Aspen branch of the Denver & Rio
Gfande railway died in the Aspen hos
pital Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 o clock
from injuries which he received about
Ave hours earlier in the day at Hook S
Crossing, one mile west of Emma When
he was shunting a freight car at the
siding to loaded, Tommasson fell from
the top of the car to the ties. This
was due to sudden jerk of the ear at
the switch.
Fireman John Moore was the first to
reach the injured man. Tommasson, it
was learned later, had sustained a dis
location of the hip, fracture of the
arm, fracture of the skull and two OF
three ribs were broken, the jagged ends
of which had pierced his lung. 1t is re
garded as marvellous that he lived as
long as he did after his fall Dr.
Thompson of Basalt was called to at
tend the. dying man. Tommasson was
conveyed to Aspen and his family, re
siding at 92l Palmer avenue, Glenwood
was notified. Mrs. Tommasson was un
able to reach Aspen until last night
Arrangements are bing made to conduct
the funeral here.
