MARRIAGE MISERY IF WIFE HOLDS PURSE
BY Helen Oldfeld

During the first year of married life people
ought to settle the scale of domestic economy
upon which they propose to live. 1t Is better
to set this scale below, rather than above, tho
mark, since it can be far more easily raised
than lowered. From the first the wife should
be careful to pay her bills every week. The
first few months of married life are the hey

Broke His Leo.

While performing some trick walking
on guy wire supporting a telegraph
pole in front of the Teller house Tuesday
evening, Clarence Slattery fell and su-
stained compound fracture of the left
leg below the knee. He had started do
ing what is called an overland feat in
climbing the wire about six feet from the
ground and had succeeded in reaching
almost the top of the pole. When he got
to the end of the wire and attempted to
turn 10 make the descent he was too
weak from over.exertion to accomplish
his purpose and released his hold on the
wire. He fell distance of about thirty
feet. DR.. Asquith was summoned and
set the leg. Friends who had been watch
ing the gentleman do the wire walking
feat carried him to his home. The frac-
ture is bad one and it will be several
weeks, il not months, before Mr.. Slattery
will be able to be about.

have any difficulty in procuring employ.

FaQan Mine WORKING Steadily.

The Pagan mine in Prosser gulch is
being worked steadily and ore is being
shipped almost every day to the Polar
Star mill in Black Hawk. Two batter
les are being kept busy on the ore. This
comes from the two first levels and as
drifting progresses the ore seems to in
crease in value, the last few shipments
running better than previous ones.
Some smelling ore is also being taken
out but thus far there has not been any
great amount. However, it will not be
very long before this is shipped. The
small boiler and hoist that was displaced
at the Gunnell mine, having been used
for the retimbering Of the shaft and
other work, is to be placed in the shaft
house of the Fagan and work now being
done with whip will be done with this
machinery.

0rado Mine Again Working.

What was formerly known as the
Orado mine has been reopened and is
now to be known as the Gold Collar
although the mine was called this years
ago. 1t is to be worked by the Gold
Collar Gold Mining lS Milling Co.. with
Alfred Skeels as manager. Big doings
are in progress here. The shaft is being
cleaned out and contracts for drifting
have been let in the 800, 400 and 800
foot levels. The mine is now 700 feet
deep and in all probability, just as soon
as the shaft is cleaned out, more sinking
will be done. The management intends
to go ahead as fast as possible from all
appearances and expect by the end OF
the month to have about thirty or more
men at work. An air compressor will
be installed and Little Wonder machine
drills run with the same. 1t will not be
long before this mine will be included
in the list of steady producers.

Working 500 Level on Eureka.

A large amount of work is under way
at the Eureka mine in Prosser gulch.
Monday force Of men was started drift
ing in the 5OO.foot level, one that had
not been worked for some time. A good
body of ore has already been uncovered
in the 500 which looks good, the values
as yet not having been ascertained. A
raise from the 220 level has also been
started and is in good progress now
This will make better ventilation and
open up some more good ground.
Shipments from the Eureka are being
made regularly. In the 40O-foot level
drifting and stopping is being done and
ore from this point contains values of
21s ounces gold with the taillngs $500
a ton for the milling dirt, while the
smelling ore from the same level runs
two ounces to the ton. In the 300 the
mill dirt runs two ounces gold to the
cord and about $1,000 for the tailings to
the ton. The last iron here ran 1.94
ounces gold to the ton. Such a record
as above may be looked upon with en-.
vious eyes by many other mines. VIM.

Shaft House and Machinery on Castro.

Carpenters have been busy the past

the Castro mine and installing mach

ated on Winnebngo hill and is under the
management Of Alfred Anderson Of Cen

worked by the above gentleman with a
whim as the hosting equipment. As
sinking was contemplated and this
would prove inadequate for the work,

come.

GunneII Ready With Heavu Machinery.

The little dinky engine that has been
doing service on the Gunnell mine on
Gunnell hill has been removed and other
large machinery put in motion. This is
good news as the mine can now be
worked on large scale. There are
three eighty horse power boilers ard a
large hoist and this will greatly facil-
tate the retimbering and cleaning out OF
the shaft to the bottom of the mine.
The timber men are now down to the
i0Ofoot level and report that as far
down as it was possible to learn the
wood work was burnt. With the little
engine the work went rather slow, but
from now on it will be rushed. The
whistle now calls all the miners to work
and things at and about the mine seem
to be taking on much activity.

Patrick Maekeu Dies.

Patrick Mackey, widely known resi-
dent of this county, passed to the Other
world Friday. He died OF heart trouble
and his lifeless body was found in Rus.
sell Gulch. A wagon was sent to
Russell to bring the remains to this city
and as the return trip was being made
the horses attached to the vehicle be.
came unmanageable and ran away. The
rig was overturned and the corpse was
thrown alongside the roadway.
Patrick Mackey was one of the old
timers to cast their lot in GiIpin county.
He had lived here thrty-five years and
during that time acquired considerable
mining property of value. Some years
ago he disposed of good mine and re
allied large sum from the sale. AS he
was inclined to dissipate and was not
economical in his habits this money
soon slipped from his grasp. At the
time Of death he was interested in sew
eral good claims in the county and Rad
an income from his holdings sufficient to
keep him. His death was reported as
having occurred more than a year ago
and this paper thinking the information
reliable published his obituary. How.
ever, Mackey had not died and few
months after the article appeared he re.
turned to the city. He frequently joshed
the writer about the death notice and
insisted that he would be alive when
the post mortem was being held over the
town. 1t is not very likely, though, that
this obituary will be discredited Mack
ey was a whole-souled individual, good
hearted and generous and in departing
this life left behind many good friends.
Services over the remains of the de-
ceased were held in the Catholic church
Sunday afternoon, after which the body
was taken to Mount Olivet for inter
ment. Mrs. Campbell, sister, and An
drew Mackey, nephew, came up from
Denver and accompanied the remains to
their last resting place.

THE EAGLES BIG SMOKER.
VIII Be Held at The Opera House on Evening
Of February 18th.

February 10Th is the date that has
been definitely set for the big Eagle
smoker. The event will be held in the
opera house and according to Mr.. Fred
Maynard, of Denver, the we'll known
promoter of boxing shows, will far
eclipse the last smoker given under the
auspices of the Eagles, which was pro.
nounced by all as being the most enjoy.
able affair of its kind ever held in Cen
tral City. The program which Mr.
Maynard has arranged. both boxing and
vaudeville, is bound to please. AS the
main vaudeville feature Daisy Laurel
and Lee Southern, professionals who are
on one Of the leading vaudeville circuits
OF the country, will present Charles E.
Royals one-act grief exterminator en-.
titled, "A Drummer's Samples" E. j.
Carlson, the basso vocalist, will intro.
duce the Gypsy Love Song from the
Fortune Teller; Nellie May, the little
coon shouter will appear and Frank
Hale, the singing comedian, will enter
tain the audience with some laughable
remarks. The pianist of the Novelty
theater, Denver, will perform on the
pianoforte.
The outside boxers will be Kid Mack
and Jack Ward, Denver, who spar at 115
pounds This will be six-round
semi windup. Young Erlenborn, of
Denver, aud Kid Sullivan, of Kansas
City, will appear as the main attraction.
They will box ten rounds at 126 pounds.
This will undoubtedly be a good bout as
the men are evenly matched and are
clever, aggressive boxers who always
give satisfaction. The local boxers will
be the best that can be procured in this
city, Black Hawk and Russell Gulch.
All together, the smoker promises to
be warm one in every detail and as
soon as the tickets are placed on sale,
which will be some time this week, those
who enjoy a good evenings entertain
ment had better procure their seats
early so they will be able to see every.
thing on the program and will be close
to the ring.
