While out there. he tried to make a
jump from bog to bog, where he should
have made one, and grabbing an old
door that was a sort of a raft in the
oone, he ran nail into his thumb, and
was asked by Johnnie Huempfner this
morning If he received the injury on
the Hahns J(hands) Peak, which laid
out Groesbeck, cold and fiat, and left
him speechless for at least fifteen min
utes.
n Active, Boosters' Club.
Judge Groesbeck reports that there
is great activity at Centennial, and
that a. genuine, and extremely active
Boosters club has. been formed there,
led by {. Lou, Wanamaker, the. versa
tile editor Of the Centennial Post, M
F. Reed and. James McCune. Bernard
Holtum is after the lost Centennial
lode, and is sure that he will find it and
have a fine lot of ore to exhibit at the
time of the Eagles celebration at Cen.
.~tennial on the glorious Fourth. Boil
Hall and Mr.. Mosher have a fine body
of gold ore, averaging $40 per ton. only
three miles from that town, and E. B
iSteadman and others are making all
preparations to take up mining develop.
ment within a few miles as soon as the
weather permits.
Ore Body In Topeka.
The Topeka Mining company, on
Lake cheek, about twelve miles from
Centennial. has opened up a large
body of ore. and expects to be ship
ping soon, and Superintendent William
Benton is making arrangements to
that end, as the ore runs 26 per cent
in copper and carries respectable gold
values, probably enough to pay the
expenses of working from that source
alone. ,. There will be hundreds of
prospectors at work in the mountains
around about Centennial this summer,
and that oldtoRn win probably be to
Laramie ina year what Leadviale has
been to Denver and Virginia City to
San Francisco.
Aggressive Spirit Shown.
The universal spirit at Centennial is
one Of aggressive and, sanguine work,
and Hotmuehi trouble nisg ekDerienced
in thessale OF stock, which, happily is
being largely purchased by people in
the neighborhood. The feeling is very
optimistic in the locality, and as Gen.
~tennial Is in the center of a mineral
belt thirty miles long and over ten
miles wide, 1t appears that their
claims are well founded.
An lmmense-cosI Belt.
The extension of the Hahns Peak
road to the North park country and to
| Walden in the nea future will develop
an immense coal and mineral belt, and
| will capture the trade Of. that immense
| region of country. Centennial and the
| mining camps are sure to experience
= great andslasting boom in the com
ing summer and autumn, and already
a. much money is being expended as
In many Of the active camps in Ne.
vada. Thezbesuties OF the scenery and
thespresence Of plenty of fish will also
make Centennial headquarters for a
large tourist trade. which will also aid
much in the development Of the coun.
try.

pleased with the recent editorial in

pletion Of the railroad to that place,
