Revival Of The So.caIlsd Spanish swindIe.
To our Correspondents:
Gentlemen:

To our Correspondents:
Gentlemen:
For quite a number of
years a gang of clever swindlers in
Spain has been more or less successful
in defrauding people in this country out
of large sums of money. The daily pap
ers have exposed the scheme from time
to time, but it would appear that the
swindlers nevertheless succeed in find
ing credulous parties, who become their
victims. In fact, quite recently an un-
usually large number of such cases has
been brought to our attention, and in
several cases, through our extended
connections abroad, we have been able
to frustrate the plans of the swindlers,
and to return the victims their money.
The following extract from an inland
newspaper explains the methods used
very perfectly:
Miss A. M. A, a school teacher of
this city, today made public that she
had been in correspondence with band
of Spanish swindlers, who claim to have
a minor heir, and valuable estate, look
ing for guardian.
The heir always bears the name of
the person to whom they write and is
supposed to be a distant relative. Miss
A. became interested in the pitiful story
told, and entered into correspondence
with F. Lopez, who had charge of
the charge. When he wrote that 1854. 90
would be necessary for legal expenses
and the girls expenses to this country,
Miss A. baked and wrote the Spanish
minister. He has just written her that
she is very lucky to have escaped the
clutches of band of swindlers.'
In mailing this circular to more than
5000 correspondents of ours, our aim is
to give the matter the greatest possible
publicity. You, however, might ma
terially assist US if you would kindly
bring the matter to the attention of
some of your local papers, for reproduc-
tion in their next issues. 1t would un-
doubtedly help to nullify the efforts of
the swindlers, who are trying to impose
on people in this country. Thanking
you in advance for your cooperation,
we remain, Respectfully yours,
KNAUTH, NAcHop & KUHNE.

Sun and Moon Raise.

The eyes of the local mining world
have become centered on the work being
prosecuted by the Sun and Moon COM
pany which is expending neat bunch
of money in an effort to connect the
upper workings of the property on the
twelfth level with a raise from the New
hous tunnel and Manager r. C. Bonney
is confident that the connection will be
made before the first of the month and
in all probability sometime tomorrow.
For many days past the workmen both
in the raise and in the twelfth drift have
been able to signal to each other, thus
demonstrating that there is but small
distance yet to run before the opening
is made and any round of shots is liable
to make the connection. The raise has
already been run a distance of 1865 feet
and the upper drift on the twelfth level
has been extended some five hundred
feet thus showing that but small space
intervenes.
In anticipation of the connection,
Manager Bonney has made contracts
with the Jackson mill for seventy-fve
tons and with the Stanley mill for sixty
tons or ore daily and he hopes to ma
terially increase this production.
1t is the intention of the management
as soon as the connection is made to en-
ploy as many men as possible on ore
production in the upper workings and
the Sun and Moon will once again as
sumo its former position as the banner
producer of the camp.-Idaho Spring

Saratoga Sure Satisfactory.

John Owen returned Wednesday after
noon from three weeks trip to New
York where he went in the interest of
the Saratoga mining proposition in
which he holds heavy interests. His
trip proved most successful, for his
associates which he met in the metrop-
oils gave him the most substantial as
surance that there would be no lack of
funds with which to perfect the plans
of exploitation that have been outlined
by Mr.. Owen, and which he firmly be-
lieves will result in magnificent dividends
to the shareholders.
While in the financial market of the
east Mr.. Owen become imbued with
the idea that the result of the election
will have salutary effect on the finan-
cial condition of the country and openly
predicts that the election of Taft means
great prosperity to the country, not
only to the east but to the west and
that mining sections will feel the effect.
An intimate association with the quota
tions on the stock market just after
the result of election was announced
persuaded Mr.. Owen that stocks of all
kinds would have an upward tendancy
and that western mining propositions
would appeal to eastern investors. AS
point, in fact, he had several open
propositions looking for sale on the
Saratoga property all of which were
most fattering.
In consultation with his eastern asso-
ciates, arrangements were made to
prosecute development of this mint and
there will be no pains spared to prose-
cute the development.
On next Monday force of men will
be put to work on the lateral from the
Newhouse tunnel, and by the first of
the incoming year large force will be
employed on ore production that will
put the Saratoga in the front rank of
the producers. Idaho Springs Siftings.

$500 RET0RT
FROM BOBTA|L
Famous Mine Making a Pro-
duction that Few Can
Equal.

The largest gold retort which has been
seen here since the prosperous days
of the camp was deposited with the
Rocky Mountain National bank this
week. 1t came from the Fifty Gold
Mines corporation. 1t weighed trihe
over 303 ounces and was worth about
SIS, 10000. The quality of the precious
stuff was better than the average, be-
ing worth $500 an ounce.
The mill dirt from which this gold
was extracted was taken from the 400
foot point in the Bobtail. The body is
an immense one, being fifteen feet wide
in the stope and seven feet wide in the
drift. The mill dirt runs about $1,000
to the ton and the iron averages 5000
Eighty tons of the dirt are run through
the mill every day.
Last weeks cleanup brought the net
earnings of the mill for September, Oc-
tober and November up to s25, 200. The
gross output for the three months is es-
timated at about $50, 600. Plans for the
future in regard to the operation of the
mine are not definite, but the company
contemplates extensive development.
M. D. Draper, who was elected general
manager at meeting of the stockhold-
ers held in New York three weeks ago.
vice o. B. Thompson, resigned, recon-
mends that the Cook shaft be sunk to
additional depth as ore exposed in a
winze gives assurance that the big ore
body in the l400 is continuous.
The Fisk vein was recently encoun-
tered in the l400. This streak was lost
for year. The ore is averaging two
ounces. The Fisk vein higher up was a
noted producer of the county. 1t was
continuous from the surface to the 1900.
When lost about year ago wrong
vein was followed for some distance be-
fore it was discovered and then a cross
cut hadt: be run from the 140O. 1t is
anticipated that when the vein is thor
oughly explored the streak will again
open up into high grade.

Gasoline Llghtlnq Stopped By RuInq Of Court

The use of gasoline for lighting is a
mistlemeanor and leaves the offender
liable to heavy fine, according to de-
cision recently made by the county
court, which determined that it is un-
lawful to burn it as en- illuminant unless
it first passes inspection by the state
oil inspector. The finding OF the court
also clears up the question of liability of
parties using gasoline taken from stor-
age tanks inside of the building illumi-
mated. The provisions of the law that
the tank containing the gasoline must
be buried underground outside the build
ing were entirely upheld. This new in
depreciation of the laws governing the
use of gasoline for lighting practically
wipes out every gasoline lighting system
in the city and state, as no one will care
to operate their plants with the DANCE
of a heavy fine hanging over their
heads.
The decision was made through COM
plant brought by John L. RUSSELL state
oil inspector, in February against Mike
Karamigios and James T. Staphopules,
proprietors of the Crystal billiard par
lors, located on Stout street, next to the
Equitable building. The information
charged that the billiard hall men were
using gasoline for lighting which had
not been inspected or approved by the
state oil inspector, as the law provides,
and that their gasoline tank was not
buried underground outside the build
ing. The decision makes all contentious
with respect to the use of gasoline plain
and is very conclusive that it cannot be
used for lighting without running the
risk of heavy fine. The defendants
in this case were fined only the mini
mum, which is $50, because they repre-
sented to the court that they discon-
tirued the use of the gasoline when the
information was filed. Il
Another fact which shows the disfavor
with which gasoline is regarded where
security of life and property is empha-
sized is in the determination recently
made by the board of fire underwriters
who raised the rate 25.cents hundred
on all property where gasoline is stored
for any purpose.
The decisions or both the county court
and the fire underwriters will undoubt-
edly work hardship on number of
people who have put good deal of
money into gasoline lighting installa-
tions, but as the safety of life and prop
erty are the first considerations, they
will. be welcomed with much favor.
There is no one who will dispute that
the use of gasoline in the immediate
vicinity of a building as large as the
Equitable and tenanted with hundreds
of people is fraught with danger that
cannot be too seriously considered for
the sake of preserving life and prop
erty.-Sunday's Denver Post.

MRS. SHIVER'S AT HOME
TO FORTNIGHTLY CLUB
Occasion is One of Social
Interest.

The last meeting of the recently or
ganized 'Fortnightly Club" was held
with Mrs John Shiver, who entertain
ed in a royal manner not only the
members, but number of friends not
enrolled upon its pages.
The parlors and hall were agIow
with the beauty and freshness of
early spring. Banks of the purple
hyacinths and fragrant violet, of the
golden hearted buttercups and nod
ding daffodils waited a welcome to
each newcomer that was like Sab
ian odors from the spicy shores of
"Araby the Blest"
On every side graceful ferns and
stately palms lent their dark fol-
iage as a background to all of this
spring loveliness while around the
punch bowl, where each guest dain-
tily slipped Olympian nectar, gleam-
ed richly red among the green leaves
the velvety petals of the camelia
Old-fashioned games of childish
days furnished fun and frolic for these
grown-up children, and jack straws
tiddley winks, cities, anagrams, cele-
britiec, quotations and finch in turn
held the fair guests in breathless sus-
pense until tap of the bell pro-
claimed victory or defeat.
Delicious homemade comtits OF
dates and nuts were the reward for
the former and compensated for the
latter.
After the games, and while mirth
and merriment reigned supreme
dainty white clad maidens bore to
each guest appetizing viands and then
it was that one realized that.
We may live without friends; we
may live without books;
But civilized man cannot live with
out cooks"
