Snowflake

Last Thursday l.. B. Monson was
caught and killed in large snow
slide near Alma. But about an
hour before he was killed he had
made rich strike in the Clipper
mine near the town and was taking
some ore samples down to be assay
ed when overtaken by the slide The
body was found several hours later,
badly mutilated and twisted, several
rods from the trail where it had been
carried by the slide
1t is possible that the strike will
never be found as Monson was the
only one who knew Of the location.
He was a brother Of Mrs. +. \.
Mitchell Of the Cochetopa and was
well known around Doyleville and
Ohio City His wife, formerly Miss
Anna Waterman of Ohio City lives
in Denver Remains of Mr.. Monson
were taken to Denver for burial.

Big Strike on Carpenter Group

Through special correspondence
we learn details Of fine mineral
strike on the Carpenter group on
Goose creek above Dubois. -Four
feet of pay ore is in sight and two or
three tons Of the real stuff has Just
been put upon the dump. Ore Is
sulphide and copper glance and is
found in place in true contact be
tween lime hanging wall and schist.
John Clark, a veteran and success
full miner, is leasing the Carpenter
group and after working several
men steadily through the winter Is
thus rewarded. Careful ASSAYS indi-
cate that the ore will run from So
to $50. 1t begins TO look as if
we might again expect the old time
activity on Goose creek.
A body Of sulphide and copper
glance ore four feet wide which will
hold smelter returns mp TO ASSAYS is
a real bii strike. rs fine As they
boast down in Nevada.

United Railroads Faces
Loss Of Franchise
Paving Company Refuses Credit
and Trustees Order fHe Work
Done or Tracks Removed


SAN MATEo, Nov. 7.-Paving the
neutral gronnd in three SITS oceu-
pied 4oy the tracks OF the United Rail-
roads was stopped by the Barber
asphalt company today on the ground
that the Calhoun corporation had not
the money to pay for 1t, and tonight a
special meeting of the board of trus-
tees was held, at which an order was
made instructing the street railway
company to complete its share of the
Improvements at once or forfeit the
franchise it obtained through absorbing
the San Mateo electric railroad COM
pany.
superintendent Cooper of the Barber
concern informed w E. Brown, presi-
dent of the board, that his company had
instructed him not to touch the strip
of paving for which Calhoun's company
is responsible. Cooper said it was be-
cause the company was unable to pay
the $4,000 which the paving would
cost. Brown at once called the trus-
tees into. special session and resoIu-
tion was adopted containing the uIti-
matum:
do your share of street improve
ment at once or we will go into court,
have all franchises forfeited and tear
UP the tracks"
Asphalt work in Grifiths and Ellis
worth streets has been arrested by the
United Railroads inability to pay. Paw
ing the middle of Baldwin avenue also
is stopped. Under the franchises it OBJ
tanned with the lines of the absorbed
San Mateo company the San Francisco
corporation is compelled to keep the
ground in the middle of Its tracks and
space two feet on each side improved
equally with the rest of the street
The property owners along these thor
oughfares have done their, share. Only
that portion of the improvements for
which the railroad Is responsible has
been held up through the action Of the
paving company.
The ultinatum issued by the trus-
tees tonight gives the railroad company
It's choice between raising the neces-
