BENCHANDD DEFIANCE
Two Good Properties Leased
SHAFT House Being Con-
structed and Operations
Started.

A lease has been taken by All. Frost
of San Deigo, California, president of
the Aztec Mines company, on the Bench
and Defiance property in the Russell
district. This week the erection of a
large shaft house was commenced, and
as soon as this is completed McFarlane
& Co. will install heavy plant of ma
chinery. The shaft house is being placed
on the Defiance lode where a shaft now
$50 feet in depth will be sunk. There
are two shafts on this vein, the other
being 250 feet deep. Both the Bench
and Defiance lodes will be worked
through the 150-foot shaft as soon as
the required depth is sunk. During the
process of sinking heavy developments
will be carried on.
The Bench and Defiance property is
located just below the famous Topeka
mine and the vein is parallel to the To-
peka. Until lease was secured from
the Chicago owners by A. H. Frost, the
Bench and Defiance were operated by
Richie Hughes of Russell Gulch. Mr..
Hughes operated the property at a
profit, frequently taking out ore that
averaged several hundred dollars to the
ton. H. l. Jones who has met with
signal success as manager of mines in
this county will have charge of the
Bench and Defiance, and withso COM
petent man at the head of operations
excellent reports can be looked for from
this property.

GiIpIn County Pioneer Dies.

| The ..old-timers of Gilpin county will
be grieved to hear of the death OF
Charles H. Aldrich, former residen
of that county. He came to Colorado
in 1859, and mined upon the Fiske
Gardner, Cotton, Gregory, and Other
prominent lode mining properties in Gil.
pin county, and conducted milling op.
erations until 1870, when he moved to
Wet Mountain valley, where he con-
Quoted for many years large ranch.
This removal and change of occupa-
ton was dictated by hope of recover
ing his health, which had been seriously
impaired by mercury poisoning, the re-
suit of inhaling mercury fumes while
engaged in retorting the products of a
mill which he was conducting in Gilpin
about 1869. During all the succeeding
years he suffered greatly from this in
trinity.
Late in the 'SOs he went to Cripple
Creek and there conducted extensive
mining operations as manager for
others.
In 1867 Aldrich married Miss Minnie
Barber of Palmer, Mich, who survives
him. Two children born of this mar
riage were buried in Wet Mountain val
ley. A son and two daughters survive.
Aldrich was man of firreproachable life
and lovable character. He died Friday,
November %, at his home in Arrow
head, San Bernardino county, CAL,
where he had resided for seven years.

Married In Denver.

j. L. Wallace and Miss Elsie Ben
nett went to Denver Tuesday morning
where they wore married shortly after
their arrival by the Rev. Mr.. Raeder
of the Presbyterian church. The an
nouncement of the marriage created no
little surprise among the friends of the
couple here as the young lady had not
finished her high school course and it
was not supposed that she would seri-
ously consider matrimony. Mrs. Wal
lace was born in this city and is the
only daughter of Robert Bennett. She
has always been very popular with the
younger set. Mr.. Wallace has resided
here only short time. He is bright
young fellow and talented. The new,
lyweds will make their home in Denver

The Little pfospector.

The title of this play is suggestive of
its character and composition. 1t is es-
sentially Western drama and deals
largely with the characteristic phases
of cosmopolitan life in the mining camps
of the great west. We use the term
cosmopolitan advisedly, for practically
every race of human beings is here rep
resented, all attracted to one common,
by the magnet Of insatiate avarice, the
great dominating passion of the human
heart, and all joining with eager rivalry
in the mad hunt for gold. The many
varied and startling complications which
unavoidably arise in such heterogene-
GUS community are faithfully interpret
ed by the fascinating little actress
"Chic" Perkins and select company
of players who will be seen at the opera
house Sunday evening, Dec. Is.

Driving Hot Time Lateral.

The Hot Time lateral in the Newhouse
tunnel was driven 260 feet by Contractor
Knowles during the month of Novem-
Der, making its total length west from
the Newhouse tunnel line on December
l, 4,244.s feet, and 120 feet yet to drive
to reach point where connection will
be made with the Old Town shaft. The
latter was sunk 137 feet during the
month of November, making its depth
on December l, 2,l63 feet, and leaving
but 20 feet to sink to reach the level of
the lateral from the Newhouse.
The shaft was being sunk at the rate
of 4 1-2 feet every "a hours, and the
lateral being driven at the rate of 9 feet
every day and night period. Thursday s
crew of shaftmen finished squaring up
the bottom of the shaft and with no un-
forseen delays the connection between
the two points should break through
next Thursday night, December r.
Manager Geo. X. Kimball proposes to
celebrate the event by serving Dutch
lunch in the underground cavern to the
workmen and few boon mining COM
panions. The" Hot Time in the Old Town
Tonight, " is to be made az near like the
popular song as possible, and Manager
Kimball may secure the Idaho Springs
brass band to assist him in properly
greeting the meeting of the two head
ings a quarter of mile beneath the
surface of bleak and breezy Russell
gulch.
After the connection has been estab-
lished it is proposed to continue the
lateral westward for hundred feet OF
so and large station will be blasted
out for capacious ore bins, and a self
dumping arrangement will be installed
at the bottom of the skipway so that

ton. 1t is the intention to ship every
pound of ore below the 1,500-foot level
out through the Newhouse tunnel fol-
the present, but it is onlya question OF
completing the facilities until all the
mine product will be brought out in the
same manner. The ore taken out in the
upper levels by leasers will probably be
hoisted to the surface and shipped te
the sampler and concentrators at Black
Hawk by way of the Gilpin tramway as
heretofore. until the needed changes ir
the equipment are made. The Old Towr

OLD TOWN mine
Makes Connection With the
Hot Time Lateral of the
Newhouse Tunnel.

The blowing of the whistles on the
Old Town mine last Sunday, in Russell
Gulch, announced the connection of the
Old Town shaft with the Hot Time lat
eral from the Newhouse tunnel at a
depth of 3,19O feet. The connection
was made with the lateral 4, 1926 feet
from the Newhouse tunnel, a total dis
tance of 19, 226 feet from the mouth of
the tunnel at Idaho Springs. Miners at
work in the shaft report a streak of 18
inches of good looking ore. A bulkhead
is being put in and when completed a
thorough examination will be made,
The Old Town shaft now ranks next to
the deepest shaft in the county, the
California shaft in Nevadaville being
first with vertical depth of 2, 23O feet.
The connection of the Old Town shaft
with the Newhouse tunnel is of grave
Importance, as it means the economic
handling of the greater portion of the
ores from the Old Town through the
Newhouse tunnel to Idaho Springs. 1t
also means the drainage of the water in
the water in the property. The Old
Town has been heavy producer of rich
ores during the past year and the man
agement expects to double the output
during the coming year, and it is the
wish of everyone that Manager George
Kimball's prophecies come true This
mine is owned and operated by a cor
poration. During the 700 feet of sink
ing large ore bodies have been opened
up and heavy production for the fu-
ture is assured. Manager Kimball is
SO highly elated over the connections
being made that he will serve Dutch
lunch to the workmen and few inti-
mate friends in the Hot Time lateral to
celebrate the event. The Old Town
shaft has been sunk from grass roots
by Manager Kimball and to his credit
will be added the success of this great
enterprise, which is not only a great
benefit to both Gilpin and Clear Creek
counties, but which YIELDS them more
closely together. It is estimated that a
force of 200 men will be put to work in
the several workings of these proper
ties.

The Lecture and Banquet.

The M. E. church was fairly well
filled Friday evening by people desirous
of hearing Governor H. A. Buchtel de-
liver his lecture on Theodore Roosevelt
The address was very entertaining, the
governor speaking in his usual pleasing
manner. He followed the life of the
president from the time of his birth,
through college, his political career
from the time he entered congress un.
til he reached the presidency, showing
the remarkable achievements of one
who set out young in life to make his
mark and had succeeded at compara-
lively an early age in reaching the high
est pinnacle of fame and honor. Gov
ernor Buchtel's talk was a wonderful
character study of great man and he
drew from the life of Theodore Roose-
welt examples of honesty, fairness and
straightforwardness which character
lied his distinguished career through
out and traits which admittedly were
the key notes to his success. 1t was a
lecture upon most exemplary charac-
ter and one which the youth of the
country should be afforded the oppor-
tunity of hearing.
Following the lecture banquet was
served by the Teachers Association to
the High School Alumni, school board
and the clergy. At this Governor
Buchtel was the guest of honor. Up
wards of fifty attended the banquet
which was most brilliant affair.
Toast were responded to after the BAN
queters had enjoyed the edibles pre-
pared with culinary skill by Caterer
Peterson, and wit and oratory flowed.
Z. G. Green acted as toatmaster in a
most admirable manner and with great
eclat. Governor Buchtel, very en-
tertaining after dinner speaker, told
several humorous stories that were en-
joyed immensely. He made himself
solid with everyone with his lecture and
his talks at the banquet. The governor
is very commonplace and in politics
would be termed "a good mixer" He
has personality that with a few min
utes association he can win over those
who may regard him in false light on
account of the attacks made upon him
by the press of Denver hostile to his ad-
ministration and make of them friends.
