Cupid Gets Busy.

Miss Florence Mary Morgan, oldest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Evan Morgan,
was married yesterday to Mr.. Matthew
Stephens. The ceremony was perform
ed by Rev. w. C. Millikan. The young
people left on the afternoon train for
Denver and after enjoying short stay
in that city, will return to make their
home in Central.
The marriage of the couple was sur
prise not alone to their friends but to
their parents. They are both very
young and therefore were at the mercy
of cupid. Mr.. and Mrs. Stephens were
born and raised in Central. The bride
until the day of her marriage was en-
ployed as clerk in the establishment of
NJ. B. Hyndman. Mr.. Stephens holds a
position at the Pittsburg mine. Con-
gratulations are extended.

FEDERAL LEASED

New York people, composing the
Greater Canada Mining company, this
week closed deal for a lease on the
Federal mine, held by Richie Hughes.
The eastern lessees intend to commence
operations on the property at once and
a telegram was received yesterday in
structing the manager to proceed with
preliminary arrangements. Men will
be put to work the first of the week. r..
E. l.. Townsend will have charge of the
mine.
The Federal is situated in the richest
portion of Russell Gulch and lies along
side the Old Town and the Pewabic. 1t
is one of the oldest patented claims in
Russell. OF late it has been worked by
Mr.. Hughes who has shipped some good
pay ore from the property. The main
shaft is 375 feet deep. In a winze in
the End level there is a good body of
milling ore from to feet wide and
the bottom of the workings shows a
one-foot streak of rich smelling ore.
Men of considerable wealth are inter-
ested in the Greater Canada Mining
company and it is understood that they
will spare no money in developing the
Federal. The company is operating in
several camps and is interested in mines
in the southern part of the state.

| Craig, state superintendent of schools,
complimented the Black Hawk teachers
and school board on the excellence of
the school exhibit, characterizing it as
the best exhibit she had seen in the
state. Prof. Thompson of the State
University spoke of the things worth
while in education. Superintendents
Sherman, Momyer and McFarlane made
brief talks expressing their appreciation
of the splendid work of the Black Hawk
schools. Dr. Thomas of the State Ag-
ricultural College, gave some interest
ing "reminiscences of the early days in
Gilpin county. 1t was his good fortune
to ride up to Black Hawk on the stage
in the days when the stage made better
time than the Colorado & Southern
makes today. When everyone had had
his say the audience dispersed to the
various recitation rooms and examined
the school work placed on exhibition in
each room. The work exhibited was
the regular work of the grades, every
pupils work represented, and all except
the exhibit in the hall and in the cases
upstairs was done in the school year
1867. Miss Thomas presided over the
exhibit in the primary room and showed
some clay modelling, weaving, and busy
work by the little folks that was very
fine. Miss Zou Bennett had some ex-
cellent school work in room two, a
unique part of the exhibit in this room
being some pussy willow mice that only
needed a breath of oxygen to make
them scamper away. Miss Grace Grutz-
macher had some splendid work in room
four, set of relief maps were especial
ly fine, as well as the regular work dis
played in drawing and in the school
branches. The water color work in the
assembly room would be credit to any
of the state institutions, and the exhibit
as whole is tribute to the excellence
of the work of the superintendent and
teachers of the Black Hawk schools un-
der the wise administration of school
board that has retained its best teachers
year after year until they have had had
an opportunity to organize permanent
course of study and to work out their
plans throughout the school life of a
group of children.
There is some talk of running special
train to Idaho Springs for the contest
on April oath. There will be number
of contestants from Gilpin county and
many of their friends will desire to be
present. The special would leave Cen
tral about $50 p. m, returning the
same evening after the contest. If you
are interested in this call up the school,
Central No. 5, and let US add your name
to the list.

The new shaft house on the War
Dance has been finished and 10 h. p.
gasoline engine will be placed in the
building within the next week. Re-
pairing and timbering the upper portion
of the shaft will be the first work in or
der as soon as the engine is in place and
then sinking will be commenced. The
intention is to sink a lift and drive a
level to stope on the ore found in the
l4O-foot level. Men are breaking ore
in the l4O-foot level, but this is being
stored awaiting the installation Of the
hoisting machinery.
Gilpin observer., 1908-04-02

Hardly had the fire at the Chicago
Carr mine which destroyed the shaft
house last Thursday morning, been ex-
tinguished than work of clearing away
the debris was commenced. The con-
struction of new building was started
as soon as the ground was cleared and
the lumber reached the mine. Only a
temporary structure will be put up for
the present as it is the intention of Mr..
Meyer to get the building up and aplant
of machinery installed so that the les
sees can hoist their ore. Later on per-
manent top improvements will be made
and large electrical plant purchased.
A gentleman connected with the Fair
banks-M Morse Machinery company, of
Denver, came up Tuesday evening and
inspected the wrecked engine. He
thinks that with a new cylinder and a
few other improvements the holster can
be put in use to hoist what ore is now
broken in the workings.
Over 25 tons of ore is broken in the
slopes and drifts and this is of high
grade. The day before the fire one of
the lessees made shipment of ore
which netted s94. 90 to the ton. That
which is in the mine is of this grade.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL

An interesting defamation contest
was held in the high school assembly
room on Friday evening. 1t was in
tended that the contest should be held
before the teachers and interested
friends only but there were so many re-
quests to visit the exercises that an in
formal program was prepared on Fri
day and visitors were received. There
were present many of the parents, chill
dren from the Central City grades, the
Black Hawk eighth grade class, and
many of the high school students. The
program was as follows:

Conclusion That There Should Be
Physical Valuation.

/ have discussed this with some degree
of detail merely to point ~out that the
valuation by the interstate commerce
commission of 1.-The tangible proper
ty of a railroad is proper and may
from time to time be necessary in settling
certain of the issues which may come
before them. and that no evil or injus-
tice can come from valuation in such
cases. If the result is to be used for a just
purpose and the right to fair profit un-
der all the circumstances of the invest
ment is recognized. The interstate COM
merce commission has now the power to
ascertain the value of the physical rail-
road property If necessary in determin-
ing the reasonableness of rates. If the
machinery for doing so is not adequate,
as is probable. il should be made so.
The Republican platform recommends
legislation forbidding the issue in the flu
ture of Interstate railway stocks and
bonds without federal authority 1t may
occur in such cases that the full value
of the railroad and as an element there
of the value of the tangible property of
the railway would be a relevant and i'm
portant factor in assisting the proper au-
thority to determine whether the stocks
and bonds to be issued were to have prop
er security behind them. and in such
cases. therefore. there should be the nee
essary machinery to make a valuation of

Dangerous Attack on Power of Courts

This provision in the platform of 1896
was regarded then a most dangerous
attack upon the power of the courts TO
enforce their orders and DEGREES. and IL
was one of the chief reasons for the de-
it ought to have been. The extended
operation of such a provision to we-1en
the power of the courts in the enforce
ment of its lawful orders can hardly be
oyerstated.

Small Number of Cases Furnishing
Grounds for Complaint in Federal
Courts.

The number of instances in which re-
straining orders without notice in indus
trial disputes have been issued by federal
courts is small, and it is urged that they
do not therefore constitute an evil TO be
remedied by statutory amendment The
small number of cases complained of
above shows the careful manner in which
most federal judges have exercised the
jurisdiction. but the belief that such cases
are numerous has been so widespread and
has aroused such feeling OF injustice That
n~re definite specification in procedure
TO prevent recurrence of them is justified
if 1t can be effected without injury to
the administration of the law.

Effect of Jury Trial.

Under such a provision a recalcitrant
witness, who refused to obey a subpoena,
may insist on a jury trial before the
court can determine that he received the
subpoena. A citizen summoned as a jur-

brought into court must be tried by an
other jury to determine whether he sot
the summons. Such publication applies

Democratic Tariff Plan and Its Bad
Effect on Business Conditions.

The Democratic party in its platform
has not had the courage of its previous
convictions on the subject of the tariff
denounced by it in 1904 as u system of
robbery of the many for the benefit Of
the few, but it does declare its Intention
of changing the tariff with a view to
reaching a revenue basis and thus to de-
part from the protective system.
The introduction into power of a party
with this avowed purpose cannot but halt
the gradual recovery of the more recent
financial depression and produce business
disaster compared with which our recent
panic and depression will seem small in
deed.
