LITTLE GIRL
POISONED
Daughter of MIR. and Mrs.
Albert Anger Eats Strych-
nine Tablets and Dies.

Inez May, the little 18-months-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs Albert Auger
OF this city, met with violent death
Sunday, between the hour of five and
six p. M, by eating strychnine tablets.
DR.. Richmond had been at the Auger
house, commonly called the BRANDED
residence, during the afternoon and had
made call upon a member of the Car
ter family living in one compartment.
Miss Gladys Carter was troubled with
weak heart and the physician left
some strychnine tablets. The young
lady placed these in saucer, covering
them and leaving them in an obscure
place on the bureau, where she thought
no one would be apt to see them. Lit
tie May evidently saw Miss Carter
place the tablets on the bureau and
thinking they were candy managed to
pull the cloth on the bureau over to her
and reach the deadly poison. No one
was in the room at the time the child
got the tablets. The little one ate fif-
teen of these and then went out to her
mother who was in her own compart-
ment, showing her what she supposed
was candy. The mother realized at
once that the child had gotten the
strychnine left for Miss Carter and af-
ter taking the tablets the little girl
still held in her hands, hurriedly sum-
moned doctor. DIR. Richmond arrived
and gave an emetic, but his efforts to
save the little girl were in vain, she be-
ing seized with convulsions and dying
within short time in great agony.
Little May was the older of two chill
dren and her death has brought untold
grief to the father and mother. She
was a most beautiful and lovable child
and was the pet of the neighborhood.
Miss Carter and mother, who are from
Michigan and are visiting in the city,
are deeply panied over the sad misfor-
tune. Sympathy, generally felt, is ex-
pressed for the parents in their prec-
ious loss. The funeral was held Tues
day afternoon at 80 O'Clock from the
residence.

Sinking Pyrenesa Shaft.

Mostly development work is being
done in the Pyrenese mine on Alps
mountain and good headway is being
made in sinking the shaft or rather the
winze shaft, as the shaft they are sink
ing is 400 feet west Of the main shaft
and in the bottom level. This is so feet
deep and will be continued at least un-
til the s0-foot mark is reached. This
will put them in some virgin ground
that has very good outlook from the
indications above and in the bottom of
the west shaft, as the winze is called.
Miners are working in the 7l0-foct lev
el and also in the 690-foot level. Drift
ing is being prosecuted in these two
levels, adding considerable more to
their development work. In all from
nine to twelve men are employed and
after some of the above developments
have been extended little further,
more miners will be added.

Sinking The Gem Shalt.

The shaft of the Gem mine in Leav-
enworth district is being sunk another
lift and is now down distance of about
275 feet. When the 300-foot mark is
reached drifting will be commenced and
probably after the levels are in far
enough not to interfere with other work
more sinking will be done. This will
open some more excellent ground and if
it proves to be as good as some of the
ground above, which it no doubt will,
the company viii be amply repaid for
the amount of dead work they are now
doing. In the levels above here stop
ing and drifting is being prosecuted and
good ore is being shipped steadily. OF
course, this is curtailed somewhat on
account of the sinking Machine drills
are being used here with the greatest
of satisfaction. The ore that is being
shipped is of high-grade character.

Drifting Started in Caledonia.

The shaft house and machinery that
was being built and installed over the
Caledonia mine on Alps mountain has
been completed and the water which
gained distance of about 100 feet has
been hoisted out of the mine. This was
completed last week. The shaft is
down distance Of $50 feet ani good
ore is beginning to show up in the same.
About ~ feet from the bottom two
levels have been started which will run
east and west. These will be run in a
little ways and then stoping commenced
on the same if the ore warrants such a
course, although it is probable that
sinking will be resumed for another
lift, when the inflow of surface water
begins to lessen. The machinery that
is now installed is capable of sinking
the mine to depth of 700 or 800 feet
and doing all the hosting from the diff
ferent levels that will be required to
that depth, so the mine is equipped for
heavy shipping.

Working 1900 in DeImonIeo Mine,

Lessees are working in the 12OO-foot
level of the Delmonico mine and are
making good money. They are stopping
here. Several weeks ago they made a
shipment that gave them $4,000 to
the ton for smelling ore. Some mill
dirt had been saved up but this has not
been shipped as yet. 1t will be sent
away within the next week or so. Good
returns are also expected from this as
it assays very high. There is a good
streak of this ore and the lessees
have made good money for the time
they have put in. This is about all the
work that is being done on the Delmon-
ico mine, but it is thought that soon
more leases will be taken as there are
several blocks of ground in this mine
that will pay to be worked.

EXTENSIVE
DEVELOPMENT
Mines Of the County Being
Placed in Condition for
Heavy Production.
Retlmberlnq In Alps Mine.

For the past week or two timbermen
have been timbering in the east 220-foot
level of the west shaft of the Alps
mine and will continue this to the
breast of the level. This is the main
work that is being done at the mine. 1t
is known that there is some good ore
lying in the breast of the level but the
walls are in a dangerous condition,
hence this improvement. 1t will take
some time before the level is complete
ly retimbered. This level is really
1000 feet deep as at the 780-foot level
winze was sunk and regular mine
made out of the same, being as deep as
the main shaft and worked more, and
220 feet below the collar OF the winze is
this level. Other portions of the mine
are being prospected little by day s
pay men but since the recent reopening
of the property there has been no ore
shipped.

Saratoga PROGRESS Rapid.

Under the new organization of the
Saratoga company work is going for
ward very rapidly in the Newhouse lat
eral. The upraise is especially FORUM
ate and will at the present rate be COM
pleted very soon. The upraise is in big
ore still and everything taken out is
sent to the mills and gives excellent re-
turns. Eight feet of the vein is being
broken and it is all of good value. The
heading Of the lateral also is going for
ward rapidly toward the shaft, which
is less than 300 feet away. Connection
with the shaft will complete the system
through which drainage and ventilation
will be accomplished and will enable the
organization Of the transportation of
the mine product which will be heavy
as soon as the mine is freed of gases. :

DISTRICT COURT DoINGs.
Damage Suit Brought Against Saratoga DeveI.
opment Co., Lost.

The third trial of the damage suit
brought by Minnie Williams against the
Sleepy Hollow Mining company for
damages amounting to $1,000 on ac-
count of the death of her husband who
was killed in the mine in 1895, was fin
ished Thursday evening, the jury bring
ing in verdict in favor of the plaintiff
in the sum of So, $4,000. The attorneys
for the defense gave notice that mo-
tion would be made to set aside the YER
dict of the jury and apply for new
trial.
After the Sleepy Hollow case was
disposed of the damage suit of Asenath
Bray VS.. The Saratoga Development
company came up for trial The suit
was brought to recover damages for the
death of John Bray who was suffocated
in the Saratoga mine a year ago. The
widow sued for $1,000. After all the
testimony was in the attorneys for the
defense, E. M. Sabin, of Idaho Springs,
and j. G. Dickins, of Denver, moved
the court to direct verdict for the Sar-
atoga company on the ground that if
there was any danger in working in the
mine, the deceased knew of it, and ac-
cepted all risks incident to his employ
ment. The motion was argued all day
Monday and in the afternoon when the
attorneys got through the court sus-
tained the motion. The attorneys for
the plaintiff prayed an appeal to the
supreme court. The jury was dismissed
for the term.

Sinking al Quartz Mill Mine.

The Quartz Mill mine, situated in
Leavenworth district is now being sunk
another lift of 100 feet. AT present
the shaft is down distance of 230 feet
and will be continued to at least $50
feet. The levels above are not being
worked to any extent as it interferes
with sinking. In the bottom of the
shaft there is a three-foot streak of
good looking smelling and milling ore.
Some of this will be shipped soon and it
is expected to run well. A lot of the
smelling ore was shipped some time
ago which gave returns of between
four and five ounces to the ton. The
mine is being worked by pool from
Idaho Springs with G. B. Hudnutt as
manager.

cEATRALs LOSE TO IRON WORKS.
MIspIays Bring TO Boosters Their First De-
feat Of Season.

After escaping defeat on the diamond
since the ball season opened, the Cen
tral City Boosters finally met their
Waterloo Sunday afternoon, losing a
game to the crack amateur nine of Dem
yer, known as the Colorado Iron Works.
In the fore part of the game the visit
ing team managed to get in the lead,
but the home boys had no difficulty in
tying the score. During the last half
of the game, however, the Iron Works
ran the score up and errors on the part
of the Boosters prevented them from
defeating their opponents or even tying
the score. The last half of the ninth
inning when the Centrals were at the
bat it looked for a certainty that the
score would easily be tied. Two runs
were needed in order to break even
with the Iron Works and there were
three men on bases. A two bagger
would have worked wonders at this
stage of the game, but it was impossi-
BILE for our boys to make good hit and
the game ended with three men on
bags.
Had the Centrals played like they
have been in the custom of playing this
season, the team would have defeated
the Iron Works without effort. The
Iron Works played very poor ball Sun
day, but with them what they can't
make honestly they will make by steal
ing or through heated arguments. The
visitors were kicking from the time the
game commenced until they departed
for Denver. They proved a tricky
bunch and resorted to such tactics as
holding the ball concealed whenever
possible waiting to catch the home boys
mapping. This is an old chestnut in
ball playing, but the Denvers made it
work in Sundays game. A return
game with this team will either be
played here or in Denver before the
season closes and if the Boosters will
not lose their heads they will easily
defeat the supposedly strong team of
the capital.

MORNING STAR AMONG THE SHIPPERS.
Russell Gulch Property Producing Ore Giving
High Values.

The Morning Star mine in Russell dis
trict, being operated by Stevens & Co.,
has developed into well paying propo-
stion. Last week shipment of ore,
taken from winze in the tunnel, gave
values averaging as high as $4,000 to
the ton. This ore was taken from a
twenty-inch smelling streak and the
shipment consisted of seven tons of the
first-class and three tons of the second
class ore. The company has two nice
blocks of ground east and west of the
winze. On the west side there is be-
tween SIS, 900 and $40, 900 worth of ore
in sight and the east side shows equally
as well but the extent of the ore is not
known.
Stevens & Co. have been working the
Morning Star about year and have the
mine in shape now so that it will be a
steady producer perhaps for years to
come. They are working through the
tunnel, which is in from the Little York
gulch side, a distance of over 200 feet.
There is shaft on the property which
is down depth of 325 feet.
Very little development had been done
on the mine prior to the time the pres
ent operators took hold. When work ed
years ago the mine had great surface
record, producing ore that ran well in
copper, besides the precious metals.
The ore is not only found in large bodies
in the Morning Star but the fact that
there is no water to contend with makes
large output possible with compara-
lively little expense.
The mine is owned by John Best of
Denver and is on the same lead as the
Fairfield, out of which $3.50, 600 has been
taken. The Gold Rock adjoins the
property and this mine can boast of a
production record that permitted of div
idends being paid amounting to Sl75. 900.
To the south of the Morning Star is sit
uated the DENLY, in which several good
pockets have been found, one alone con-
tanning ore that yielded $3.50
