order to raise money to complete the
furnishing of this room. sale of the
articles made in the sewing room was
suggested, showing a commendable
spirit on the part of pupils and teacher.
The room was tastily decorated with a
Christmas tree and holly colors. Three
tables, one covered with fancy work,
one with homemade candies, and one
with punch bowl, looked very inviting
to the visitors. The friends and parents
of the students patronized the various
tables generously. The punch bowl
seemed more attractive to some of our
patrons, especially Prof. Green, than
the other articles exhibited for sale.
The total sales amounted to nearly
$50. 90, which, after paying for material
will give neat little sum toward the
completion of the sewing room. A few
remaining articles will be auctioned off
after the Christmas programs on Friday
afternoon, Dec. 20. Visitors on this af-
ternoon are requested to remain for the
auction.

DEATH IN UTAH
Alec Newton, An Old ime
Resident of this County, is
Killed in Snowsljde.

A telegram was received in this city
last Thursday morning by the Elks'
lodge announcing the death of Alec
Newton, an old-time resident of this

Basin, Utah, last Wednesday. The re-
mains arrived in this city Sunday even
ing and were accompanied by Mr.. Ed.

mine he was caught in the terrible slide
and death was.instantaneous. Previous
to leaving this county he held positions
as engineer on the Annie H. and Ever
green properties in the Pine Creek dis
trict, where he had resided for the past
II years and where he owned a num-
ber of mining claims. When not other
wise occupied he did considerable pros
pecting and did much toward opening
up the large veins of that district.
Mr.. Newton was a man about 4S years
of age and at one time was a printer on
the Register-Call. He was widely known
throughout the county and the news of
his untimely death will be received with
regret by his many friends. His father
survives him in the east.

MINING notes.
Jefferson. Calhoun Properties
Making Big Shipments
Of Smelling Ore.

The Calhoun Mining COM
pany is shipping steadily from the JEFF
ferson and Calhoun shafts. On the
West Calhoun a big strike was made,
the smelling ore averaging $4,000 to
the ton and the mill dirt running as
high as 20 ounces. Within the past
week there have been extracted from
the mill dirt from these properties 300
ounces of retorts. The East Calhoun,
operated by the Calhoun Tunnel COM
pany is opening up into good ore above
the 400-foot level, which level is the
main connecting drift between the East
and West Calhoun shafts.
In the Anchor mine, operated by the
Hearne Gold & Copper company, a
three-foot streak of smelling ore has
been opened up, which runs over $50. 90
to the ton. Good ore is being taken
out of several of the levels and the
mine generally is looking good.
The East Boston G. M. company was
Incorporated last week in Denver. The
corporation is composed Of Boston peo-
pie. They will operate the East Boston
and the Rialto mines in this city and
will commence work the first of the
year. These properties have been idle
over two years. They are equipped
with good machinery and are in shape
for the immediate resumption of work.
H. P. Lowe leaves for England Sat
urday on business in connection with
the Frontenac mine. This mine is look
ing better every day and is producing
good ore. Mr.. Lowe says work on the
Topeka mine will be started about the
middle of January.
r. N. Lewis. who is working his
Pozo claim in the Nevada district has
opened up some good lead ore. 1t looks
as though it would run away up. He
intends to commence shipping soon.
The Fifty company in driving the
l400-foot level from the Cook to the
Bobtail struck the Bobtail vein this
week. The vein seems to be of large
width as it has been driven into seven
feet and not penetrated. The ore looks
good but as no assays have been made
it is not known how well it will run.
Jack Lying and John Hawn, who are
leasing in the San Juan tunnel in the Ne
vada district are making regular ship
ments to the Buell. and the Hidden Treas
ure mills from large vein and are get
ting good results. Not only is the milling
ore showing good values but the smelling
runs away up. The tunnel is in over !, 600
feet and Lying and Hawn have held their
lease for two months. The vein has look
ed good for some time but is now opening
up big. Joe Kraemer & Co., who also
have lease in the tunnel are making
regular shipments to the Buell. and are
getting good returns. They have lots Of
ore in sight and plenty of work ahead
for the winter.
