ner in Glenwood last Saturday. At
a meeting Of citizens at the court
house the previous Monday. Mr..
Holmes had spoken disparagingly of
the Glenwood Light and Water COM
paDy and tried to have those present
vote to demand that the company fur
nish the town with lights and water
for the next five years.
The next day the company sent
word to Mr. Holmes that unless he
paid his bill to the company by Satur-
day lights. water and power would be
shut of from his building.
Saturday Mr.. Holmes met Mr..
Parks and accused him of being re-
sponsible for the order Parks denied
it but did not convince Holmes who
threatened to roast Parks and his
bank through the paper. To this
Parks objected in language more
forceful than polite when-biff-- we'll,
Cliffs left eye has been in mourning
all week. This is practically the
story told by both men, and the Post
gives 1t without comment.
Later in the dav Mr.. Lyle ordered
mis- workmen to disconnect the Ava
lanche building from the company 8
plant and accordingly the wires fur
nishing lights and power we're sew
cred and the water was turned out of
the pipes. Wednesday the company
served legal papers upon Mr.. Holmes
for the amount of their claim being
1856 80. 1t is understood that Mr..
Holmes disputes the correctness of this
account and the matter may be fought
out in the courts.

alighted at last and now all is we'll.
AT least the former supply of aqua
pura is now flowing into the Ava

meet the Avalanche building with the
company's light and water plant.

Sun and Moon 10 Resume.

Arrangements are being completed
for the resumption of work on the Sun
and Moon property through the New
house tunnel. Mr.. N. Westheimer of
New York, president of the company,
was here early in September comforting
with Manager R. C. Bonney and looking
over the situation. There has been a
slight reorganization of the affairs Of
the company in which one of the prin-
cipal stockholders transferred his hold
ings to the more progressive stockhold-
ers, and it is believed now that there is
nothing to prevent the Inauguration Of
an extensive campaign of development.
The plans of the management, it is
reported, include the continuation of
the old Sims upraise to connect with the
old shaft workings. 1t is 1,175 feet in
the Sun and Moon lateral from the New
house tunnel to the Sims upraise; and it
will be necessary to extend the raise
500 feet higher to make connection with
the old shaft workings. This work will
probably be done by contract, and min
ing men have already been asked to
figure on the job. If present plans ma
ture, work. will be started in October
and large force of men will be en-
ployed.
The Sun and Moon has been one Of
the greatest producing mines of the dis
trict, and some of it's best ore was taxi

will be made between shaft and up
raise. Idaho Springs Gazette.

Sleepy Hollow Working Two Shifts.

Thursday evening night shift was
put to work on the Sleepy Hollow and
now more than 20 men are employed.
This number will be increased within a
short time as the company intends to
install compressor and other machin-
cry. The large vein of ore which was
opened up in the crosscut two or three
weeks ago is holding out well and steady
shipments are being made from this
point. Everything is now in readiness
for the opening up of the bottom level
and this work will be started within a
few days. Supt. Robt. Wilkinson says
he expects the compressor any day and
when that is installed more work can
be done and the output of the mine will
be practically doubled.

Mining Man An Easq Mark.

Charged with "salting" an ore speci-
men, which he sold to Joseph Bells, a
mining expert from Black Hawk, Louis
Lowry, mining man, with offices in
the Ernest & Cranmer building, was ar
rested by Deputy Constable Hollings-
worth. The complaint was sworn out
by Bells, who claims to have lost $25
through the deal. The technical charge
was gaining money under false pre-
lenses.
According to the Black Hawk mining
man, who is stopping at the Adams hotel,
Lowry offered him what appeared to be
a valuable specimen of gold ore for the
sum of $25. Believing that he was pur-
chasing gold of an unusual standard,
Bells closed the deal about five weeks
ago and was given possession of the
rock.
A few days ago, however, Bells,
while testing the gold, discovered that
it had been washed with bronze paint,
and that the specimen itself was nothing
more than copper.
Full of Indignation he proceeded to the
court house where he swore out war
rant for the arrest of Lowry, charging
him with having gained money under
false pretenses.
The defendant in the case, who gave
bond for $500, denied that he had made
any statement in regard to the compost
ton of the ore, but said that, when he
displayed it to his victim, Bells was
very anxious to buy it.
''It was simply copper and thought
that as Bells was mining expert il
was his business if he did not recognize
it. The way it became covered with the
bronze paint was that when was paint
ing something else, put brushful OF
paint on the specimen just for the fur
of it.
"As copper the specimen is valuable,
but of course it is worthless as gold ore
The truth of the matter is that some OF
Bells friends have been joking hin
about the way he was fooled, and hi
has had me arrested to get even."
Lowry has been bound over to the
West Side court in the sum of $500. Jus
tice Carbon announced that he woule
make test case of it.-Friday's Den

TO START

S. E. Roberts of Denver, and E. H.
Reed, of Hastings, Neb., were arrivals
in the city yesterday. Both of them
are old pioneer residents of the county
and were here during the early mining
activity of the camp. Mr.. Roberts is
owner of the Ingomar property on
Quartz hill, near the Alps. He had
several parties up here few weeks
ago who are raising $25, 900 for the pur-
pose of resuming operations on the In
gomar. These parties have closed a
deal for the North mine, adjoining the
Ingomar, and intend to run tunnel on
that vein to connect with the New
house and will then work the Ingomar
in connection with the Norlh.
The Ingomar has been inactive during
the last three years. At the time it
was being worked and just before it
closed down, the superintendent died
and his death so interfered with opera
tions that work was suspended. The
machinery was sold and the shaft house
was torn down. Very little develop
ment has been done on the Ingomar.
The shaft has been sunk to a depth of
400 feet and crosscut run short dis
tance. The parties who are to take
hold of the proposition will extensively
develop both the Ingomar and the
North.

OLD Topeka TO
START UP AGAIN

From a reliable source it is learned
that the old Topeka mine, located in the
Russell district, is to shortly commence
operations. This old producer has been
closed down since 1899, when it became
involved in litigation that has tied it up
until the present time. A few months
ago the mine was sold at public sale by
the U. S. Marshal to satisfy claim
held against the same by H. P. Lowe
and T. S. Dimes. The property revert
ed to these gentlemen and when legal
entanglements are finally adjusted,
which will be within the next few
weeks, operations will then be COM
menced.
When operated the Topeka held the
distinction of producing the highest
grade of ore of any mine in the camp.
Ore has been taken from the workings
which returned values of as high as T.,
900 ounces gold to the ton and frequent
ly shipments were made of ore that
went from 1000 to 5000 ounces.
The equipment and top buildings have
been kept in pretty good condition dur
ing the long period of inactivity and
practically no preliminary work is neces-
sary before the mine is in shape for pro-
duction. The Topeka is big PROPOSE
ton and when once started will greatly
increase the number of miners now
working in the Russell section.

Fine Ore In The Anchor.

The Anchor mine in the Russell dis
trict, which was started few weeks
ago by the Hearne Gold & Copper COM
pany, has already commenced to show
up well. The levels have been cleaned
out and last Friday in the 2OO-foot level
2-foot streak of lead and gray coppe,
was uncovered, and the ore from this
nets close to 800 ton. A good ship
ment of this ore is being accumulated
and will be sent to the smelter within q
few days. Manager Kane feels highly
gratified over the splendid showing the
mine is making with so little work done

BLACK HAWK
C0NCENTRATOR

Tuesday evening at the meeting OF
the city council held in Black Hawk,
right of way was granted to the Gilpin
Ore & Reduction company to place
tracks across one of the lower streets to
the Gilpin mill. This mill was acquired
by the Reduction company short time
ago and it is the intention of the con-
cern to convert the plant into modern
concentration. The company was incor-
porated few weeks ago and the officers
chosen are Harry Kane, president;
Thomas Dunstone, vice-president; H.
Irving Jones, secretary, treasurer and
general manager.
A draughtsman has been up from
Denver a couple of weeks working on
the plans for the new plant. The equip
ment is to be torn out of the Gilpin mill
and as soon as the plans are completed
the company intends installing the most
complete and modern concentrating
arrangement in the district. The con-
centrator will be different from any
plant now in operation in this section
and those of Idaho Springs which have
held reputation for superiority over
everything of similar character, will
be poor seconds in comparison to the
reduction works that the Gilpin Ore &
Reduction company will have. The new
plant will contain more table room than
those now being operated in the district
which will greatly increase the saving
of ore values. The equipment complete
will consist of the crusher and rolls and
a Chillian mill for regrinding. There
will be five tables for each unit of fifty
tons, which will give the plant capa-
city of close to 25G tons.
Custom ores will be treated and the
company handling the proposition al
ready has enough contracts to insure
sufficient tonnage to keep the concen-
traitor running steadily. The plant will
have to operate both day and night to
handle the large amount of ore it will
receive and employment will be given
to between Is and 20 men. 1t is thought
that four months will be required to get
the concentration in shape for the handl-
ing Of ore. AS soon as the draughtsman
finishes the plans, work of remodeling
the old Gilpin mill will be commenced
and he win have finished by the end of
the month.
This reduction works, with the up-to-
date process that is to be installed
whereby the values saved will be great
ly increased, will supply something that
has long been needed in Gilpin county,
and its completion will be anxiously
awaited by the mining interests of the
entire district.

TREASURY LODE
BEING WORKED

The Treasury lode, located at the
head of Packard gulch, was started last
week and active operations will be con-
tinued by its owner, Mr.. Thompson {
Kentucky. Mr.. John Loughran of this
city, one of the oldest and most exper-
fenced mining men of the county, has
been placed in charge of the property,
and under his able management the out
look for the Treasury tunnel is bright
one. At present the tunnel is in dis
tance of 200 feet and is being driven in
the direction of the Chicago Carr from
Bobtail hill. A considerable amount of
dead work is being done in getting the
property in shape, distance of 125 feet
having caved in which will require re-
timbering. A new track will be laid
and other improvements made. When
this work is completed the force will be
increased and the tunnel driven ahead
as rapidly as possible. A large vein is
showing up in the breast of the tunnel
and stoping will also be prosecuted to
open up other rich veins which are
known to exist there. From all indica-
tions the vein matter will run well, as
recent assays made shows the ore to
run as high as 4 ounces gold. The man
agement estimates that within short
space of time everything will be in
readiness for the breaking of ore. A
new blacksmith shop has also been
erected at the tunnel entrance.
