Gilpin observer., 1907-10-17

Friday afternoon until Monday morning.
By only taking half holiday the banks
did the newspaper men and others of
that class particular favor, as it en-
abled these to make their heavy deposits
and prevent large accumulation of
money, the keeping of which from Fri
day afternoon until Monday morning
would have occasioned uneasiness.
Dominick Ecchell was severely injur-
ed in the Jefferson Calhoun mine Satur-
day evening, between seven and eight
o'clock. He was working in the shaft
when heavy cave-in occurred, cover
ing him with rocks and dirt. DIR. Saun-
ders was called to the mine and an ex-
animation of the mans body revealed
two broken ribs, several scalp wounds
besides internal injuries. He was re-
moved to his home on Quartz hill and
has been doing fairly well since the ac-
cident. 1t is hard to tell what may de-
velop as the extent to which he was in
jured internally can not be determined.
Saturday, Columbus day, marking the
415th anniversary Of the discovery of
America was observed by the Chris
topher Columbus lodge in the usual fit
ting manner. The c. T. l. S. and AL
pima Americana societies assisted in the
celebration. These three lodges formed
at the lodge rooms of the Columbus Or
der in the morning and marched to Black
Hawk to meet Satriano's band of four
teen pieces, which had come up from
Denver. A parade was formed which
moved from Black Hawk to this city. A
very unique float in the form of ship,
representing Columbus and his seamen,
was an attractive feature of the parade.
Steve Laner was dressed as Columbus.
During the afternoon the band discourse
ed music on Main street. In the even
ing grand ball was held in the Armory.
This was largely attended. The music,
furnished by Satriano and his collection
of picked musicians from among the
best of Denver, furnished the best mu-
sic that has been played at a dance in
this county in years. The Italians are
deserving of special credit for the splen-
did celebration and are entitled to the
highest praise for the satisfactory man.

E. S. Moulton returned the latter
part of the week from a business and
pleasure trip to Boston, Pittsburg, Buff
falo and other eastern points. In Buff
falo he met Bert Campbell, former
resident of this city and for some time
manager of the Pittsburg mine. Mr..
Campbell is engaged in the insurance
and real estate business in Buffalo and
says as soon as he can arrange his af-
fairs he intends to return to Colorado
to remain. While in the large eastern
cities, Mr.. Moulton got in close touch
with the prevailing conditions CONNER
cially and politically. He says money
was never tighter in the large financial
centers than it now is and that the
panic which has been predicted is
The large manufacturing
concerns are laying off men right along
in punches of from one to six thous-
and and laborers are likewise suffering
in other lines of employment. Politic-
tally speaking, Mr.. Moulton says
Roosevelt beyond doubt will come up
for another term, unless the corpora
tions he has SO strongly opposed can
prevent him from getting the nomina-
tion. Once nominated, Mr.. Moulton
claims, he's elected. The east is with
him solid with the exception of the big
interests. These SO hate Roosevelt
they can't stand the sight of a Teddy
bear. Mr.. Moulton had little to say on
the Democratic outlook other than to
offer little consolation for the party
in the approaching national election.
That was, should Roosevelt be the presi-
Dental nominee on the Republican
ticket his majority will not be as large
Rs It was the last time he was elected.
