Machinery For The Derbq.

o. S. Stoors, of Denver, was in the
city last week, making arrangements
with McFarlane & Sons to put a plant
of machinery on the Derby property in
the Pine Creek district. The property
is being operated by the Derby M. & M.
company, composed of city hall attaches
in Denver. During the past four months
work has been suspened on account of
the equipment being inadequate to per-
init of deeper sinking. A whim has
been used but as the shaft is now down
16O feet a change to steam power be-
came necessary. Work will be resumed
as soon as the new machinery is in
stalled. The Derby is a gold and silver
proposition and some high values are to
be found in several parts of the
workings. Assays of some of the ore
have shown values as high as $780, 90 to
the ton and mill run of three tons of
dirt averaged S23.OO.

Victor Yields Rich Ore.

j. H. Simpson and Frank Moody, who
are leasing in the Victor, near the
county line at the head of Virginia
canon, are breaking some excellent stuff .
They are working in stope below the
tunnel and have streak of mill dirt
three feet wide and about Is inches of
iron. The mill dirt goes 6 ounces to
the cord on the plates and the concen-
trates are worth S22.5O The smelling
ore averages from S4s.6O to $4,000 to
the ton. Out of a recent shipment of
four cords of mill dirt they got a little
more than "a ounces on the plates and
had about three tons of the tailings
The ore body is continuous, thus per-
mitting of regular shipments. The pro-
perty is owned by T. H. Potter and H.
j. Hawley and is developing into one
of the best paying mines in the rich
Russell section.

fore going to Clear Creek county. He
was an uncle of R. B. Brown, at whose
house he resided. Mr.. Brown was in

was telegraphed and arrived here this
morning. The funeral arrangements
have not been completed.

INJURED WITH
SHOT GUN

| A terrible misfortune befell Albert
Chapple last evening. He was acci-
IDENTIFY shot in the arm and legs from
both barrels of shot gun, receiving
the full effects of the discharge. The
injured man was brought to Central
This morning he was taken to one of
the hospitals in Denver. DR.. Froid, his
wife and sister, Mrs. A. Baleria, and
husband accompanied him.
The accident occurred at about Z
O'Clock. Mr.. Chapple had gone out to
Perigo yesterday with Henry Patterson,
driver for the Central Bottling Works
to deliver some goods, and took the gun
to hunt rabbits on the way. The re-
turn trip to town was being made and
at point near the Dory hill cemetery
snow had drifted and banked in the
road. In turning out to avoid this one
of the wheels sunk into water trench
and the wagon upset. Mr.. Chapple was
on the wagon holding the shot gun
across his lap. When he struck the
ground the cartridges in both barrels
exploded, riddling him with shot in the
arm and legs. He was brought to Cent
raj with all possible speed. He bled
profusely from the wounds but it is not
thought that his injuries will prove
serious. He is being shown every at
tention.
Mr.. Chapple enjoys large acquain-
tanceship in Gilpin county. He is a
young married fellow but has had
trouble in abundance during the past
year, having suffered two or three at
tacks of sickness. He is employed by
Neil Mckay as driver but has not been
working this week on account of the
bad roads. His friends hope him a
speedy recovery.

Daily Shipment Of 80 Tons.

Drifting is still being prosecuted on
the Buckley and heavy shipments We're
being made until the interference of
the recent storm. These shipments will
average about thirty tons a day. The
ore is being sent to local mills and is
giving fair returns. Drifting is pro-
crossing at the rate of four or five feet
day. The mine is looking better than
it has since the resumption of work a
few months ago and as soon as more
ground is opened up the shipments will
be increased.

Vim. I. Hoskin Is Called.

VIM. T. Hoskin, young man liked
and highly thought of by all, died Tues
day morning of typhoid fever at the
age of 20. He had been ill about two
weeks. The young fellow was very
industrious and worked steady at the
Cook mine as fireman. He was very
devoted to his mother and sisters and
his earnings went to the support of the
family. His habits were most exemplary
and his character was without blemish.
His death is not only severe shock to
his mother, sisters and brothers, but
his loss is one extremely hard to bear.
The funeral was held this afternoon at
2 o'clock from the Methodist church.

Hawk. Despite the very inclement
weather close to 200 of the friends Of
the popular old couple were present
The 5Oth anniversary of the marriage
of Mr.. and Mrs. Rudolph was celebrated
in manner that will linger long in the
minds of the guests after the host anc
hostess have passed away. Extensive
preparations had been made for the
event and part of the festivities were
to have been enjoyed in the open, where
large pavilion had been constructed
for dancing. The disagreeable weather,
however, prevented this being used
very much.
In the Rudolph house, though, a
genuine good time was enjoyed and a
banquet was served that was veritable
piece de resistance. j. H. Matthews
was toastmaster. Talks were made by
several who congratulated Mr.. ahd Mrs.
Rudolph upon their long and useful
lives and the rounding out of the half
century of their marital contract. The
couple were the recipients of many
valuable presents and gold coin amount
ing to goodly sum was presented by
loving friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rudolph are Germans
and both were born in the old country
They came to the United States when
children. Mr.. Rudolph is 70 years of
age and his wife is 6s. They were
married in Newark, N. j., on the 18th
of October, 1858. Mr.. Rudolph served
with distinction during the civil war,
being a member of the First New Jer-
sey Volunteers. On the 1st of April,
1868, he came to Black Hawk and To-
Gated. His wife followed three years
later and they have been residents of
that city ever since. He engaged in
the shoe business, which he continued
about forty years, retiring short time
ago. Nine children We're born to Mr..
and Mrs. Rudolph, and all are living
with the exception of one. Mr.. Rudolph
and his wife are in fairly good health
and it is pleasure to know that they
will continue to live in the midst of
sincere and admiring friends for several
more years at least.
