administrator and in a few months
had disposed of the Grand Prize
mine for $4,000. In fact the es-

as no heirs were known, under the
law escheats TO the school fund of
Colorado. However, certain alleged
heirs have put in an appearance, but
their proofs are far from satisfactory
to County Judge Hetherington and
he decided that it was well worth
complete investigation by a compe-
tent attorney.
Doneaster is city Of $4,000 peo-
pie and Leeds a great manufactur
ing center of 100000 inhabitants.
They are located 80 miles north of
London and doubtless the Judge will
visit the metropolis of the world

Pitkin Mlner-''What Gunnison
county needa, we were told recently
rs more boosting" We agree
heartily providing the boosting 10
done along right lines, for there is =
wrong as well - right way to do
this, m in everything else. Gunni-
son county has her resources sxtollsd
from ocean TO oosan; her prospects
ssd surface showinRs have bssn
lsSded in the presence Of moneyed
mon in the mining eenters OF the
country and her future has been
predicted as being very bright This
has been going on for years and we
venture TO say the country in \ gen.
eral way is as we'll known ss any in
The state. But, why 10 it that up TO
lees than four gears ago little or
nothing WAS known ABOUT mining
bslOw water level? Had boosting
bssn done along right lines? We're
not men rather skepticsl then about
putting up money TO explore the
country at depth? And Why? Sim
ply because boosting had been done
on theory and no one believed in it.
But now that the fact has been es-
tablished that the beet dividend pay
ing mine is the deep mine, boosting
can be done in way that will re-
dound to the good of the entire
county-by sticking TO facts and
quit peddling hot air" In this
way only can any section get due
recognition So while we boost let
us stay by facts as we know them.
