proudly adorned the place where a
boutenier is usually in evidence, and one
day last week it mysteriously dissap-
cared. 1t is thought by some, that
following the nocturnal habits of the fe-
line family, it heard the walling of some
forlorn creature from the back yard
fence and could not resist the call. But,
as for Moscript, he grieves by day and
is dreaming nights about his beloved
black kitty. Ed. is inconsolable and
tearfully told Siftings- News man that
the charm cost him s265 at special sale
but that he would willingly pay more
than that Tor the return of his poor,
little, gold bound black cat.

Alpha Has Good Ore.

good streak of ore has been dis
closed in the drift in the I5o feet east at
the 25o-foot level of the Alpha shaft in
ellison gulch. The ore carries heavy
per centsge of lead, besides a varying
amount of gold and silver. The ind
cations are that the edge of an ore shoot
has been reached and that further de-
velopment will locate the main ore body,
which, following the general rule in this
section. will result in richer ore as the
shoot is penetrated The ore is the best
looking material yet found in the
Alpha, and the way the streak is coming
in it would seem that an ore body of
considerable size will be the result.
The Alpha property has been contin.
uously worked by the Big Revenue Gold
Bullion Mining company for the past IS
mouths. During that time several ship
meuts of ore have been made, which re
turned between SIS and $40 per ton The
drift will be continued to the intersec
ton of cross vein ahead of the present
breast and it is believed that this juno
ton will make a large ore shoot OF
high grade smelling ore. The officers of
the company feel grat,6ed over the re-
cent strike after having done SO much
dead work, and they hope to be
maintaining regular shipments Of ore in
the near future.

TOlland Tunnel.

Robert MacLean has taken a contract

has also leased two of the veins cut by
the tunnel some time ago. These
latter include the Tolland county veiu

assays have been obtained from a small
streak, running asa ounces in silver to
the ton. Very little driving has been
done on either OF the veins. The tunnel
is to be driven to the intersection with

DR.. w. II. Sharpley, and Secretary G.
A. Loeb, of Denver Arie No. 90, and the
prize winning degree team of the Arie
together with goodly number of ladies
accompanied the Denver delegation.

ooo had been raised 10 build a transcon-

Creek county, and that this amount of
money had been pledged and the work
would be started within a reasonable
lime. He mentioned the fact that the
county commissioners had granted
right of way through the county wagon
roads where necessary, and that this was
an important item towards assuring a
right of way for the new project.
E. B. Clayton, the plumber. said tha,
he had joined the chamber year ago.
and had been waiting since to be called
upon to do something. but that he had
not been asked to assist in any public
movement looking toward the better
ment of conditions in this city.
After deal of talk from one sour ce O
another. without regard to parliamentary
rules, it was decided to proceed with the
election of board of trustees to serve
Tor the ensuing twelve months. Some
of these present opposed the election OF
officers at this time, believeing that the
one permitted to join, after which there
was time to elect officers. No action was
taken on the latter suggestion and those
members of the chamber present were
permitted to vote for the new board
Tellers were appointed and list of mem
bers was read. The ballots showed the
following board of trustees elected: Sem
ator II. L. Roberts, O. w. Lowell, +. d.
Wiley, J. J. Sherwin. X. r. Graham, C.S
Birkins, r. c. Bonuey, W. l.. Bush, + G.

exception of J. J. Sherwin, who takes the
place made vacant by the retirement Of
J. ]. May, the trustees are the same as the
old board. Eight of the board of ,rus-
tees are officers and directors in the two
national banks. Mr.. Bonney is an insur
ance man and Mr.. Moscript is a lumber
| man.
At the meeting Tuesday afternoon the
| following officers we're elected: President
w. L. Bush; Ist vice president, +. NJ

Roberts; treasurer, H. l.. Roberts; secre
tary, S. A. Moves. The trustees intend
to meet and formulate some plan of act
ion, af er which meeting Of the MEM
bers of the chamber will be called and
ways and meaus for raising funds dis
cussed
| Several methods have been suggested.
such as assessing each merchant fiat
sum, payable in monthly ins,allments;
making the membership larger and fixing
the dues at a nominal amount per month
and as soon as it is decided what method
of boosting the district will be employ ed,
the chamber will proceed to business.
The local papsrs will no doubt be tax
en- into consideration and will be given
the support of the chambe in their efforts
to properly present the many attractive
features of this district before the world.
1t is hoped that no time will be lost in
getting busy, as the summer season is
rapidly approaching, and the chamber
should be in position to answer inquiries
and distribute literature with the influx
of the visitors.
