The Mascot.

The Mascot property of the Boston
Occidental M. & M. company, has shut
down indefinitely. Manager Ripley says
that the capacity Of the present plant
of machinery is not large enough to do
the work which this company has in
view. A new and complete plant Of
machinery will be installed and it is sug-
gestive that larger force of men be
pat to work in developing this property
and opening up new ground. This prop
erty has been worked steadily for the
past ten years and is one of the old
stand-bys Of the Pine creek district. 1t
win be pleasant news to all to learn that
the Mascot people will operate the mine
on more extensive basis. Some good
ore has been encountered and we believe
that with more developments that this
property can be put in shape whereby
good and better results can be obtained,

The euIcA Mine.

VIM. Mitchell & Sons are operating
this property and are the owners. They
have been working steadily for con-
siderable length of time and have de-
veloped the Gulch to a great extent.
They have expended thousands of dol
lars in its operation and have shaft
down 460 feet with five levels extended,
and in all its workings good ore has
been produced. At present they are
drifting and have expectations of OPEN
ing up continuous ore shoot that will
eclipse the famous Notaway mine lying
adjacent to the Gulch. Mitchell & Sons
are deserving of great rewards as they
have worked diligently in trying to swell
the production of Gilpin county's out

The Weeks Deaths.

George Stevens of Russell Gulch,
died in Denver Monday of miners con
sumption. He went to Denver during
the middle of July on account Of the all
ment and for three or four weeks the
change seemed to benefit him. Since
then he gradually declined; although it
was not thought that his condition was
as serious as it proved to be at the time
of death. The body was shipped to this
city and the funeral was held yesterday
afternoon from the M. E. church in
Russell.
George Stevens was 43 years Of age.
He was native of England and came
to this country Is years ago. He locat-
ed in Gilpin county about two years af-
ter reaching America and had followed
mining continuously ever since. De-
ceased belonged to no lodges in this
county but was member of the For
resters in Michigan. Among the many
with whom he was acquainted he was
well liked, possessing quiet and friend
ly disposition that attracted host of
companions. A wife survives him; also
mother, five sisters and four brothers,
namely, Harry, Albert, Alfred and
John, the latter being member of the
board of county commissioners.
Mrs. Grace Chellew, mother of j. H.
Chellew of Russell Gulch, died Satur-
day evening in Pueblo of senility. She
was 76 years Of age and had been a res
ident of Gilpin county % years. The
remains were shipped here Sunday and
the funeral was held Tuesday afternoon,
with services at the M. E. church in
Russell. The only son left to mourn
her loss has the sympathy of many.
Thomas Henry James, who had re-
sided in Nevadaville % years, passed
away Sunday morning. Death was
caused from miners consumption. He
was born in England in 1866 and follow
ed the trade of miner the major portion
of his life. A wife and three children

funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at
OF clock from the Bald Mountain M. E.
church. The Red Men of Nevadaville

Attraction Sunday Evening.

If out-of-town reports are to be cred
tied, the success of the Anglo-Scanda-
navian comedy "Tillie Olson" is the
greatest yet achieved by any Swedish
dialect play ever written. The scenes
of the drama are laid in the Northwest
and the action is brisk and spirited. The
principal role is that of young Swed-
ish girl, possessed of all the character
istics for which her race is famous. She
is keen of wit, given to droll manner
isms and odd expressions, but carrying
beneath somewhat stolid and imper-
turable exterior, peculiar to the Scam
danavian nature, warm and generous
disposition. Her lack of some of the
conventional qualities of the modern
American girl only makes her more
interesting type for the skillful play
wright. "Tillie Olson" is not play of
heroics but sparkling comedy of an
unusual construction and sustained in
terest. The name part will be played
by Miss Aimee Common, whose work in
eccentric comedy roles is well and favor
ably known to play-goers. The attrac-
tion is underlined for presentation at
the opera house, Sunday evening, Sept.
10Th, under the direction of Manager
Fred Falkner, who has provided a COM
pany said to be more than ordinarily
capable and talented. It includes among
others one of the best of juvenile COM
edians in Master Jack Rollins, whose
attractive specialties always receive en-
thusiastic recognition.

SPLENDID ORE
IN oLDlT0MN
Some Of the Richest Ores Yet
Found in this Property
Other Mines Of the
County.

What has proved to be one of the rich
est finds in ore in the history of the Old
Town shaft in Russell district, is being
unearthed at depth of 1880 feet. The
entire width of this shaft is showing
vein matter. Last Monday large
piece of ore, which was blasted several
days ago, was taken to the Office of the
company for exhibition purposes, which
carries yellow and gray copper. 1t is
considered by the management of the
Old Town to be the finest chunk of ore
ever taken out of the mine. The vein
matter in the shaft is all concentrating
stuff, and consists of gray and yellow
copper-iron and white tale, characters
tic of the richest ores of this property.
This shaft will be sunk to the 2, ,3OO-foot
point, where connections will be made
with the Hot Time lateral from the
Newhouse tunnel, which is being driven
by subsidiary company of the Old
Town Consolidated Mines company, and
which means the draining of the Old
Town and adjacent properties.
These connections will also provide an
outlet for handling the immense ton
mage of ores. There has scarcely been
any work done below the fourteenth
levels, so that there will be about 1000
feet of virgin ground to be opened up.
1t is the opinion of the management of
the Old Town that this property will be
in position inside of the next year to
rank among the largest tonnage pro-
ducers of the state and to return hand
some dividends to its operators. The
company gives employment to about 100
men, including leasers. About 100 tons
of ore per day is being handled between
the mills of Black Hawk and Idaho
Springs and the working force will be
increased so rs to rapidly open up this
1000 feet of virgin ground. George K.
Kimball, Jr., of Idaho Springs, is man.
ager of the property, and it is mostly
due to his energetic and systematic
management that the Old Town has
developed into one of the heaviest pro-
ducers of the state.
The large chunk of ore above men,
toned carries values of $50 per ton,
and is at present on exhibition at the
Rocky Mountain National bank of this
city.

SEVERELY
INJURED
Mrs. Marshal Stedman, Of
American City, is Thrown
From Her Horse on Her
Way to Denver.

Mrs. Marshall Stedman of American
City, was thrown from her horse and Sc
verely injured Sunday morning. Mrs.
Stedman, accompanied by her father-in-
law, Captain Stedman, left American
City at an early hour Sunday morning
on horseback for the valley where they
intended to pasture their horses for the
winter. 1t is the custom of American
City residents to keep number of the
horses up during the summer for the
benefit of the great number of guests
which visit that place every summer.
And SO it happened that the above
mentioned parties were on their way to
the valley with the horses when nearing
the Black Hawk depot of the Colorado
& Southern railroad, Mrs. Stedman's s
horse stumbled and fell, throwing her
completely from the saddle. She struck
on her head. When picked up Mrs.
Stedman was unconscious and bleeding
profusely about the face. DIR. Asquith
of this city was Immediately sent for
and upon his arrival Mrs. Stedman was
placed in the private vehicle of the doc
tor and brought to this city. She was
taken to the residence of Percy R. Ais
dorf on Eureka street where DIR. As
quith made thorough examination of
the wounds. Besides attending several
bruises about the head it was found nec-
essary for him to take several stitches
in deep cut in the face. The injured
lady improved as fast as could be ex-
pected and Tuesday she was able to con-
tinue on her journey to Denver, from
where she and her husband will leave
for the east to keep their theatrical en-
gagements.
