The patent was secured through Thomas Masters. It's number in the ancient records was 401, and it was issued as a British grant for a process of treating corn. At least that

 Dem Good Ole Times written by Mrs. James H. Dooley, supplied with sixteen full-page illustrations in color by Suzanne Gutherz and numerous decorations by Cora E. Parker, is an attractive volume depicting the pie turesque, luxurious life way down Souf' in the happy ante-bellum days, lovingly recalled by an old-time darky "granddaddy," who supposedly tells the story to shrewd young slip of the present generation. Dedicated to the memory of the dear old southern mammies whose love and fidelity furnished it's inspiration. the book pre- sents the extreme, though not aggres- sive, southern viewpoint, and tells, in it's leisurely progress, some sweet and [ long vanished. No great literary art is evnced by the quiet chapters touched here and there with mildly character istic humor, but the charminsly gay and sometimes tragic pictures called
 up by their gentle flow will bring ! tears and smiles to many.

A JaG Beats Wife..Jail.

Edward Schrader celebrated Christ
mas in the city jail where he was
lodged last Tuesday night on the charge
of wife beating. Thursday morning
Police Magistrate wilkins sentenced
him to serve fifteen days in the coun-
ty Jail and to pay fine of $25. Schra-
der went to his home on Tenth avenue
and Virginia street with a good-sized
jag, and started rough house in
which his wife was severely injured.
The latter complained to the author
ties and Schrader was arrested.
Schrader is the father of five chill
dren, and it is said has contributed
but little to the support of the fami-
ly for some time. His wife takes in
washing it is claimed. and now that
his conduct has been called to the at
tention of the authorities, the latter
will see that he provides for his family
in the future, and that no more beat
ings are administered to his better

Old Town to Entertain.

New Years day will be visitors day
in the Newhouse tunnel and the Old
Town lateral and mine in Russell gulch
Manager Geo. X. Kimball has arranged
to take care of everyone who de-
sires to make the great underground
trip from the portal of the Newhouse
to the collar of the Old Town shaft, a
distance of four miles and an eighth.
At the junction of the Hot Time lat
eral and the bottom of the Old Town
shaft lunch will be served, and the
entire mine workings will be open to
the inspection of the public. Samples
of rich Old Town ores can be obtained
by those who wish to take with them
souvenirs of the occasion. The invita-
ton is extended to the general public
i. and will no doubt be taken advantage
i of by many of the home people who
have never been inside of the New
house tunnel.
Manager Kimball first proposed to
serve banquet at the junction of the
two headings, to which he intended to
invite the Denver Press club and prom
inent citizens of the state capital. An
orchestra and hundreds of cleo
tric lights were to be installed,
but as many of those he
would have invited could not make it
convenient to come on New Years day,
he decided to change the program and
extend general invitation to everyone
to visit the big property. He may en-
tertain the press club at later date.
The time selected for the public to
visit the mine will not interfere with
the operation of the property, as after
the first Of the year as many men as
can be worked to advantage will be en-
gagged in carrying out the plans for an
extensive ore production from the
large block of virgin territory opened
up by the Hot Time lateral.
The coming few months will witness
large force of men going and coming
to work through the portal of the big
Newhouse tunnel, and the output from
the Old Town mine at least will prob
ably only be limited by the facilities
for handling the material in the mills
and railway cars. Manager Kimball
has engaged the entire capacity of the
jackson mill in this city, but is consid-
erlng the advisability of erecting mill
or big ore washers for handling the Old
Town product at the mouth of the New
house tunnel.

St.keRis Driving Again.

Work has been resumed on the breast
Of the st. Regis tunnel on Chicago
creek. after an idleness of several
weeks. The work was suspended be-
cause it was thought that the financial
stringency in the east would make 1t
impossible to obtain further funds for
the prosecution of the work. The com
pany had ample funds on hand at the
time the work was stopped, but the di-
rectors feared that they would not be
able to keep the tunnel going in case the
furry should continue The eastern
parties who are backing the big tunnel
project have ceased to worry about the
future and instructed the management
to proceed with the tunnel by double
hand work until the arrangements are
competed for the installation of a
power plant in the coming few months.
