Cage for Jefferson. Calhoun.

The first cage manufactured with the
Hoskin-Bowden patents arrived in the
city Tuesday and while it was waiting
to be hauled to the jefferson Calhoun
mine in Russell Gulch attracted much
attention. The size of the cage is 3x4
feet and will be used in the incline shaft
of the Jefferson. 1t has a large-sized
box intended to hold more than ton of
ore. This is arranged to dump itself
automatically when the surface is
reached. The cage is called the Key
stone and was manufactured by the
Vulcan Iron Works of Denver. 1t will
be placed in the jefferson mine as soon
as the guides are put in the shaft.
The safety devices on the cage are
the same as shown on the model, which
has been seen by almost everyone in
the county. With these attachments
there isn't the slightest possibility of
the cage being pulled into the sheave or
falling back down the shaft.
The safety devices, acting on the run
ners with dogs will hold the cage firm
should the cable break and the heavier
the car is loaded the tighter these dogs
grip the guides. Besides the dogs are
chairs on either side of the cage which
will strike the cross timbers should the
runners be old and decayed, which
makes the safety devices doubly certain.
The placing of the first cage in the JEFF
ferson-Calhoun mines is done mostly as
test and Messrs. Hoskin and Bowden
have not the slightest doubt but that
their invention will serve all the pur-
poses they claim.

HiII House Shaft Beinq Sunk.

Sinking is being prosecuted in earnest
at the Hill House mine in Russell dis
trict and good headway is being made.
The shaft is now down distance of 24O
feet. This will be continued for some
time as it is the intention of the COM
pany to connect up with the old shaft
that lies east of the present one. This
will insure good air in the mine, al
though the air is not very bad now, and
open a large amount of good ground.
They are drifting east in the 200-foot
level and have very good showing. A
shipment will be made from here some
time this week. 1t will be of smelling
ore and good values are expected to
come from the same. Besides this STOP
ing is being done between the 200 and
l6O-foot' levels and some of the ore that
is to be shipped this week comes from
the crevice in the stope. Other devel
opment work is being done here anc
soon the mine will be in shape to pro.
duce much more ore than it does al
present.

IpdVa still Sinkina.

Operations at this mine were resumed
again Monday after short lay off DUR
ing the Fourth and now the usual activ-
ity is going on. Sinking the shaft is
the main work that occupies the atten-
tion of the management at this time.
The shaft is down little over 200 feet
and it is expected that it will be lifted
to depth of from $50 to 300 feet, if
not further. After sinking is finished
levels will be run and the mine connect
ed with the 410-foot level of the Colum-
bus shaft which is owned by the same
company, and this mine will then be
connected with the Lotus mine which
lies further up the hill. This will in-
sure good air in all three of the mines
and particularly the Columbus which is
in the middle and has very poor air at
present. Besides the air, it will open
up large amount of virgin ground that
promises to produce some good values
in the precious metals. In the Ipava
shaft there is pretty good streak of
ore that assays very high, and this is
being followed down, sometimes good
sized pockets being found.

BIG FLOOD
PLAYS HAVOC
Washes Out the Tracks and
Bridges Of the c. & S. and
Traffic Suspended
Indefinitely.

The heavy rains of Tuesday after
noon played havoc in the lower Ipart of
the county, swelling north Clear creek
and sending an immense volume of
water down the canon. The tracks of
the c. & S. railway from the Penn mill
below Black Hawk to Forks Creek and
from there to couple of miles north
of Golden were washed out The heavy
flow of water came down the canon
shortly after the passenger train bound
for this city had left Forks Creek.
The first warning of the flood was
when an immense body of water ten
feet high came down Smith hill, flood
ing Clear creek six or eight feet above
its banks and covering the railroad
tracks. Engineer Smith saw the i'm
pending danger and stopped his train at
an incurve to escape the main force of
the water which was sweeping trees,
boulders and objects of every descrip-
tion before it. Rails and ties were
swept away in twinkling and parts of
the track that were not dislodged by
the water were covered with dirt and
rock depth of eight and ten feet in
places. Engineer Smith seeing it was
useless to run his train further up the
canon, attempted to run back to Forks
Creek. Before he could open the throt-
tie of his engine an immense land slide
came down the mountain just back of
the rear couch of the train. Had the
train been backed twenty feet the ter
rifle force of the slide would have push
ed the cars into the creek and everyone
on the train would have been drowned.
While the waters were CARRYING
everything to destruction, uprooting
large trees and washing big boulders
into the raging stream heavy rain and
hail storm was falling. The panic
stricken passengers were penned in the
coaches like rats in trap. They
couldn't leave the coaches for fear of
being swept down the creek. The
water surrounded the train, covering

WIN PRIZES
AT GOLDEN
Central City Teams Bring
Back Some Easy Money
Boosters Don't Win
But Come Close.

This city and Black Hawk were al
most depopulated on the 4th and 5th,
nearly all the people going to Golden,
Boulder, Idaho Springs or some other
place where celebration was being
held. Those who did not leave the
county went on picnics or else left for
Boulder park to fish. The majority of
the Gilpin county people to leave for
outside points spent the 4th and 5th
in Golden. Wednesday afternoons and
Thursday mornings outgoing trains
were packed with residents of this city
and Black Hawk bound for Golden A
conservative estimate of the number of
people who attended the Golden cele-
bration from Gilpin county is placed at
1900.
The fact that the running teams of
Central and Black Hawk were to par
ticipate in the Golden tournament; also
that the ball team from here was to
play several games in that city, at
tracted the bulk of the people to the
place that joyously boasts of having
the states three leading institutions
School of Mines, Industrial School and
the brewery.
Hospitality, good cheer and good fel-
lowship abounded on every hand. The
visitors from Gilpin county, Silver
Plume and other points were met up
on the arrival of Thursday morning s
trains by the Golden people in body
with arms outstretched. The parade
was formed at the C. & S. depot with
all the fire teams, bands and floats that
the street would hold and marched up
the main thoroughfare to the parks and
places where the events were to be
held
Black Hawk won first prize for max
ing the best showing in the parade.

ands of spectators who witnessed the
parade. The Alerts won second prize

Drifting and Cross.Cuttinq on Gold Rock.

In the 5OO-foot level in the Gold Rock
mine in upper Russell district miners
are at work drifting on the vein and are
taking out some good looking ore. The
streak varies and at times is quite
wide, but the values seem to keep up to
the standard of this mines ore. Last
month shipment was made that gave
returns of SS5 to the cord. Besides this
mill dirt there was some ore of a smelt-
ing character shipped. In the 600-foot
level the company is prosecuting for
the same vein as above, but as the shaft
pitches considerably, for in former
years it was sunk away from the true
vein, it is taking some time to cut back
to their objective point. The ground
here is exceedingly hard which makes it
still slower. Another shipment of ore
will be made within the next week
or two.

CAPTURE DRILLING PRIZES.
6lIpln County Miners Win ln Single and
DoubIe.hand al Idaho Springs.

The drillers who went from this
county to Idaho Springs to participate
in the drilling contests during the 4th
of July celebration met with splendid
success. Three teams from Gilpin
county contested in the double-hand
drilling and three miners entered the
single-hand. These were, double-hand:
Richard and Shaffer, Russell Gulch,
19 3-S; Eccker and Ross, Black Hawk,
20 Ia; Lynch and Hartman, Black
Hawk, % 7-8. Single-hand: O. More
litti, Black Hawk, Is 9-16; r. Dalla-
santa, Russell Gulch, Is 1-S; S. Lund-
vail, Central City, II 7-S.
The first money in the double-hand
was won by Collins and Shea, of Bould-
err, who drilled 90 1-S inches, beating
Lynch and Hartman, of Black Hawk
who received second money, scant
quarter of an inch. Collins and Shea
also won first prize in Boulder on the
5th, drilling 80 inches in Is minutes.
The time of drilling in the Idaho Springs
contests was 10 minutes. First and
second prizes in the single-hand were
won by o. Morelitti, of Black Hawk,
and r. Dallasanta, of Russell Gulch,
respectively. The first money in the
double hand drilling event was S266.6
and the second prize amounted to
S133 "a. The single-hand first prize
was $780, 90; second prize, S65.0O.
Trewick Brothers, of Cripple Creek,
who won the double-hand contest in
that city last week and who drilled only
% 3-4 in Idaho Springs, have issued a
challenge to Collins and Shea, of
Boulder, the winners of first money in
the Idaho Springs event, to rock
drilling contest to take place in. Idaho

the rails and ties.
The flood waters rushed down the
canon and at Forks Creek where the
north and south Clear Creeks join,
flooded the depot and other buildings
and did great damage to the large steel
bridge spanning the creeks at the juno
ton. From Forks Creek to the mouth
of the canon two or three miles above
Golden the tracks were almost COM
pletely swept away the entire distance
of twelve miles. Bridges were dis
lodged from their supports and section
houses were inundated with water.
The flood was the most disastrous
that has come down the canon since
1896 when every vestige of railroad
was swept away. Strange as it may
seem no one was killed during the
mighty rush of water and not one per-
son was injured in the slightest. The
damage to the roadbed and property of
the Colorado & Southern railway it is
estimated will amount to over S10O, 900
as the roadbed for several miles will
have to be rebuilt in it's entirety and
two or three large bridges will practic-
ally have to be reconstructed. Traffic
will be at a standstill for at least week
and it is said that a force of several
hundred men will be required to put the
track in shape so that trains can be
operated within that time.
The central City passenger train
which was caught in the heaviest of the
flood in the canon several miles from
station was in charge of Conductor
Pete Reid. He with two or three
others of the train crew walked to Black
Hawk, a distance of eight miles and
telegraphed the details of the washout
to the head officials in Denver. Orders
were given to send all the food neces-
sary to the passengers of the belated
train and make it as comfortable as
possible for them during the night.
Only two or three of the passengers
undertook to walk to Black Hawk Tues
day evening as the ties and track were
badly torn up most of the way and

ances were sent to Smith hill near
the point where the train was stopped
and the passengers were taken to their
homes. The mail was also brought up
Wednesday morning which will prob
ably be the last for several days.

Few outsiders realize what the black
berry season means to many of our
people of both races. To see immense
steamers daily going out of the Rap
pahannock and Potomac rivers freighted
with thousands of buckets of berries
causes surprise to the uninitiated. The
country merchants of this section adj
vertise for the blackberry trade, and
for the time being the barter of berries
for groceries eclipse the egg deal.
While not so extensive trade, buckle
berries will soon crowd out the black
berries.
