THE CoW.puncher."

The management of the opera house
has secured 1.-THE Cow Puncher" as the
attraction for Sunday evening, Decem-
ber 2Sth. This drama of ranch life in
Arizona was written by Hal Reid. Mr..
Reid shows happy understanding of
his subject. He has taken the rough
cowboy of the plains, under whose
shirt of blue the heart beats true, and
developed into hero. Tom Lawton,
a man who cannot write his name, yet
proves himself born leader of men, a
man to command, inspire and correct.
Brave as lion, simple as child and
the bearing of king. The various
characters are built close to nature.
The play is intense and interesting.
w. F. Mann, the producer, deserves
credit for the admirable manner in
which it is put on. Scenery, light eff
fects and casts are said to be among
the best ever seen on local stage.

Well Wishes for New Year of Joy and

We take pleasure at this time, at the
close of year that has been one of the
most successful in our long business
career in this city, to extend to our pat
rons our earnest thanks and most cor
dial New Years greeting. 1t is hardly
necessary for US to call to the minds of
the people Of Gilpin county the methods
long adopted in our business of supply
ing the trade with the choicest of gov
ernment inspected meats, the best of
fish and poultry and the freshest of
fruits and vegetables. We endeavor to
furnish those buying quarters and large
quantities of beef and pork with meat
that is better in every way than the
ranchmen sell, at prices they cannot at
tempt to duplicate and the large sales
we make daily is Indicative of the salts
faction we are giving the people who
buy quarters and halves. We are thank
full to our customers for the patronage
they have favored us with in 1907, and
can assure all that our treatment and
consideration for your wants during
1908 will warrant continuance of your
trade. With best wishes, we remain,
Respectfully Yours,

A young mining engineer in writing
OF his oA6ervances among the knights
of the drill has this comment to make:
II have learned this much in my brief
career, that one miner will very seldom
call another down to his face, and only
behind his back when it interferes with
his own work. You could have selected
the poorest miner in that camp and
from inquiry found out that he was "a
good miner" This is due to the kind
heartedness and geod fellowship of
miners as class, and even though
most of them do blow in their months
wages on stud" and booze, these
same attributes of brotherly love are
apt to give them look in on judgment
day."

The banks of Idaho Springs last week

This was made possible by the large

This, of course, was sent to the Denver
