Hello Girls On Skate0.

1t is unusual for young ladies' to get
out on a toot, but like the boys they
like it. and the girls of Idaho Springs,
occasionally like to have a tiny little
bit Of fun by themselves without TAX
ing the boys into consideration.
Saying Hello, =" Number" Lines
Busy Waiting" and other such IA
mliar remarks about 5000 times
shift, would drive an ordinary young
man to drink, and no one can blame the
local bunch of pretty telephone
operators if they did have
gay old time for a couple of hours last
Wednesday night. The girls thought
they needed exercise because of their
sedentary employment and struck out
for the roller skating rink Not one
of them knew how to put on a pair Of
skates, let alone do any stunts in the
fancy skating line and they were
pretty lot when they made their ap-
pearance on the glossy enclosure. The
advent of the bunch of beauties on the
floor caused great excitement and they
"SiN liS VI all eyes. T>dCn
had a handy way Of falling down ac-
comanied by an appropriate ripple Of
laughter which was infectious, and it
was necessary to have an attendant for
each bum skater.
After vain attempts to control their
feet and tempers, the young ladies' de-
cided that they could do much better
in handling oysters and they, declining
the many offers to see them home
hiked for a lunchjoint where they
finished an oyster supper with pie and
other accessories.
1t would not be fair to tell who were
in the crowd of cut ups and therefore
their names will not be made public.
1t is said however, that Miss May OH
yer was the chaperone, and that Miss
Priscilla Johnson, the night operator
was there. Rumor has it that Miss Evs
Cameron was one of the parties, and il
is whispered about that Miss Alice
O'Rourke participated in the fun and
inquiry led to hints that Miss Nellie
Merwin was there but no confirmation
can be had from the girls themselves,

The Cream Of Colorado.

The Cream Of ColorAdo.
The Montezuma- Queen Magnet Con-
solidated Mining and Milling company
is the name Of a new corporation in
process Of organization, which will
have capitalization of 5000, 900 81
par value shares, 1000, 900 of which
will be placed in the treasury for de-
veopment purposes. The organizers
of the new company are wealthy Ohio
and Colorado capitalists, and their
object is to conduct mining operations
in three of the Oldest and most produc-
tive camps in Colorado, namely, Idaho
Springs, Georgetown and Montezuma.
Mr.. J. C. Kernohan, of Cleveland,
Ohio, representing wealthy eastern
crowd, recently spent some time in
Colorado looking over the field for
mining properties which had sufficient
development work done to promise
profit with further and extensive de-
velopment with conservative manage
ment.
Three groups Of properties have been
secured at this time, and additions may
be made in the future. In the Monte
yuma district group of ten claims on
Independent mountain have been Sc
cured. Three of the main veins have
an extraordinary showing; one vein 8
feet wide in a 10-foot hole has three
feet of smelling ore exposed, with the
ance good milling product. Two
Naer prospect holes have almost as
good showing of mineral. The
smelling ore will run from $40 to $50
per ton, and the mill dirt assays 10
ounce gold, 80 ounces silver, II per
cent. lead.
In this district the company has Sc
cured the Queen group of four claims
IN Spring gulch, near the Fraction and
hitty Clyde. In 35-foot shaft vein
is exposed which on the surface was the
thickness of knife-blade, and at the
oottom of the shaft it is now about
Tour feet wide. Assays running as
nigh as l3 ounces in gold per ton have
|
The Georgetown property is the well
known Magnet group Of eight claims
which have already been developed to
productive point, and were good pro-
nucers in the palmy days of silver, hav-
ing yielded, it is said, about $500, 600
aoove depth of $50 feet. The COM
pany has 700 feet on the Magnet vein,
winch is the main lode of the mountain,
afo expects to be outputting large
''hnage from this property within the
next few months.
MIR. kernohan is now in the east ar
ranging the plans and will begin opera
'iohs on all three properties just as
soon as the necessary papers have been
prepared. The people Mr. Kernohan
represents have implicit confidence in
Reood judgement, and others who
the gentleman while he was here !
we're favorably impressed with his
)4"ck recognition of a good mining
property.

AcRn o wedges the Corn.

Our good friend, the agricultural ed
itor OF the Gazette, pleads guilty this
week to plagiarism, and wakes wroth
because he was caught with the goods
on. He becomes very angry at Siftings-
News for daring to expose his plfering.
He should calm himself, for we don t
care. The habit of publishing as news,
items that have appeared in this paper
weeks and even months previously has
become SO fixed that it will be difficult
to break away. In acknowledgement
Of our friendly criticism there is not a
line Of correspondence from the reser-
voir camp in the last issue. We take
occasion to again repeat. You don t
have to study geography nor read his
tory, but if you want news while it
is news subscribe Immediately for the
Siftings News, the only reliable min
ing newspaper in Clear Creek county,
as well as the official paper of the
city, comfy, state and United States.
