mo Mother 10 Guide Her."

On Sunday, September 1st, the big
sensational melo-drama, "No Mother to
Guide Her." will be the attraction at
the opera house. The piece tells a
story of strong heart interest. Though
bordering at times upon the extremely
sensational, still, there is throughout
the action said to be plenty of laughter
providing comedy interspersed, and
there is nothing inconsistent or unnat-
ural in the production. The manage
ment has provided the play with special
scenery and ingeni:us mechanical ef-
fects. One of the most pleasing feat
ures of the show is the large number of
clever specialties that are given. This
is play that will please the ladies as

NottaWau Shlpped Ore.

Last week several of the lessees of
the East Nottaway mine made several
shipments of ore to the mills in Black
Hawk and the valley smelters. Ed
wards & Co., who are leasing in the
555-foot level west, shipped some of
of his high grade. The last time this
ore ran 20 ounces gold to the ton and
with the other values made the mineral
worth over $400 to the ton. The ore
this time is not expected to run so high
but most likely big values will be re-
turned. Jones & Co. shipped from the
44s level also and are expecting good
reutrns. Other lessees are doing most
ly development work.

Sinking at The pssrce Mine.

For some time past work has been
pushed on the Pearce mine in lower Rus
sell Gulch and now the shaft is down a
distance of nearly 400 feet, the last lift
being about 70 feet deep. When this
lift of 100 feet is finished and the above
depth is obtained drifting will be COM
menced and other development work
prosecuted which depends much on how
the ore turns out at that depth. 1t
seems that the ore keeps improving in
value as sinking is prosecuted as the
vein is stronger and more minelalized
at the present depth than it has been in
any portion of the mine before. Little
other work is being done as it interferes
with the sinking operations and besides
it is the intention of the company to
look for the best ore at greater depth.
The mine is under the able management
of Frank Hardy of Central City.

Gulch LOOKING Good.

Mitchell & Sons, who are working
their Gulch property last month made a
shipment of ore that brought little
ever one ounce on the plates. This
month another shipment will be taken
out of the same place, which is in the
3O0-foot level. Here they are stoping
and raising to connect with the level
above. The ore looks as good If not
better than the same kind of ship
ment made last month and it is expect
ed that good returns will be forthcom-
ing from this stope again this month.
It is the intention to work some Of the
other levels Of the mine in the near fu-
ture and thus do mining on larger
scale than at the pres ,nt time.

Bio Dolnqs al Powers Mine.

1t is only short time ago that ]. A.
Jameson purchased the Powers mine in
lower Russell district and ever since
has been doing development work. An
addition to the already comodions shaft
house is being added as fast as possi-
BILE, although the scarcity of lumber is
hindering them considerably. In here
will be placed a large air compressor
for the purpose of driving the drilling
machines which are to be installed in
the different workings of the mine.
Besides this an electric hoist will be put
in the place of the present gasoline
hoist now used. The compressor will
also be run by electricity. This viii
make one of the best equipped mines in
the county when finished. Retimber-
ing is being done the whole depth of the
shaft and is now within 80 feet of the
top, the present depth being just 2sO
feet. When the above machinery is
installed more depth will be added thus
opening more virgin ground. Ore ship
ments have been discontinued while the
retimbering is being done and several
of the levels heightened. The ship
ments will be resumed soon, however,
as some of the ore broken is being piled
up until everything is in shape for more
active work.

Nintu.One Mine Started.

Thomas Hughes has commenced op-

in the Russell district, just below the
Perrin property. The old shaft is being
cleaned out and soon a whim will be
placed over the same. The crevice

streak of gold, which if it will run as
good as it pans, should go at least six
or seven ounces to the cord. In the
earlier days large quantities of high

eoud Advice 10 Younq psop|s.

Last Sunday evening at the Metho-
dist church, Mr.. Forester discussed the
topic, Don't Give up SCHOOL,. He
called attention to the fact that 80 many
boys and girls in Central City were
making a mistake in not taking advant-
age of the school privileges offered
here. Among other things he said:
"The regrets expressed by those who
quit school before they had finished the
work confirm the statement of Pres.
Eliot, 1T will take less time to go
through school than to explain why you
didn't go in after years..
Education is becoming so widespread
that one is to be seriously handicapped
who does not avail himself of educat-
ional privileges.
mo one is called to do anything un-
til he has been called to prepare to do
it.
''The richness, and capacity, and the
ability to keep on growing which any
one is to possess depend upon what has
been packed into ones brain and heart
during youth. The youth who quits
school before he has completed his work
is like man who being given cab
met of rs tools, should begin to con-
struct house before he had learned
how to use any of the tools except the
saw and the hammer.
"a great many think of stopping
school that they may get experience,
bu. it is well to remember that acquir-
ing the ability which shall enable one to
get the right kind of experience easily
is more important to youth than ex-
perience ITSELF
The last point touched upon was,
the value of making careful prepara-
tion that one may bring the greatest
amount of intelligence into his work

Wonderful Boring Machine.

Alexander Struthers, the former
well known master mechanic of this
division of the Rio Grande road, is in
the city this week promoting the inter-
ests of company which he says will
revolutionize the manner in which tun-
neling is done throughout the world.
The invention is one by well known
German engineer residing in Denver,
R. B. Sigafoos, and its examination by
mining engineers everywhere has led to
its being named one of the most Won
derful inventions of modern times.
The machine is for the purpose of
boring and drilling tunnels through the
surface of solid rock by pulverizing the
rock and then carting the debris away
by machinery.
The machine as Mr.. Struthers ex-
planned his model to a party of gen.
tlemen this morning works on the the
ory of the stamp mill. The theory is
applied to the boring machine and the
results obtained are simply wonderful.
The machine pulverizes the rock to such
an extent there is no difficulty whatever
in boring through the most obstinate
rock.
The feature of the machine is quick
work. This can be readily understood,
when it can be proven that the new
machine can do twenty times the work
in given time than of other ma.

The Salt Lake Mining Review
hits the nail squarely on the head
when it says:
eff the truth were ever known,
there is every reason to believe
that many important properties
are cursed by bad management,
while many companies and invest
ors are ruined from the same
cause. The resurrection of many
abandoned mines in the west, and
the placing of them in the divi-
dend-paying column, is proof of
this. Some mine superintend-
ents would be much better en-
ployed in pushing a mine car and
in landscape gardening than in the
management Of a mine, and the
sooner the companies employing
them make this vital discovery,
the better it would be for all con,
cerned. If this question were to
be considered and looked into
more closely, it is safe to say that
many mine superintendent would
be given their time and competent
men installed in their places"
