Lucky Le.sers Strike 1t

Nelson, Johnson and company, who
have lease on the Albro mine locat-
ed near Dumont and in straight line
with the Clear Creek and Gilpin Tun-
mel recently made shipment of nearly
thirty tons of good paying ore. During
the last six months, the shipments from
this property have averaged from twen-
ty to thirty tons per month. The values
run about one ounce in gold, twenty
ounces in silver and an average of four
and one-half per cent in copper. These
parties have driven a tunnel in about
two hundred feet ard have also sunk
winzes and driven laterals. The breast
of the tunnel is about under the old
workings from which over $3.50. 900
worth of ore averaging $500 per ton
was taken and in addition very large
amount of ore of smaller average. 1t
is reliably stated that this property has
produced upwards of half q million
dollars and is yet in it's incipient stages
of development The men composing
the company are such as will push the
development in the same energetic
manner that character;zes their other
successful business undertakings and
the future will reveal large and excel
lent paying outputs.

Bonds Carry in Coun -

Bonds Carry in COun -
Clear Creek county is no repudiator
of just and legal debts. She believes
in standing up for Colorado, "by pay
ing what is justly owing. At the re-
cent election she gave a majority for
paying the indebtness which was cre-
ated in the eighties to carry on the
state government and support the
state institutions. This debt is largely
carried by the school fund and the de-
feat of the amendment providing for
issuing bonds therefore simply means
the loss of interest that should annual
ly go to educating the children of
the state as we'll as the principal unless
subsequently ap amendment to the Con-
stitution of the state should prevail.
The voting down of this important
measure was unwarranted, unbusiness-
like, and an injustice to every child in
the state,

puckert Purchases Plant

John Puckert Of the Honest John M.
NJ. & T Co received a large consign-
ment of machinery this week for use
in operating the Black Eagle mine. A
compressor is being installed and it is
the intention to speedily substitute
machine drills for hand drills. The ore
showing in the workings of this ex-
cellent property justlfies this outlay and
when these improvements are made
the shipments will be very large in
quantity and valuable in quality.
Sufficient development work has been
done since the Honest John got posses
sion OF the Black Eagle to make officials
feel and know that they will soon
have one Of the best producing mines
in the entire Chicago creek district.

Ranaer Rides Goat

j. A. McNamara, the prince of For
est Rangers, whose territory surrounds
Sulphur Springs, was in the city Mon
day evening and took lesson in range
riding on the Elks goat that beat any
experience he ever had on a Texas or
Oregon Broncho. In fact riding the
latter was like sitting in an easy rocking
chair compared with the former and
those present do say that he hung on
to the goat in a manner that would
have caused the bosom Of Clifford
Pinchot to heave with pride had seen
his faithful desciple hanging on to the
goat as it ran through the Elks' forest
barking limbs and trunk SO that they
could be identified whenever compan-
ion met him. 1t is further related that
when the ride was over he returned
..good for evil" by entertaining the
lodge with singing, dancing and story
telling that made the closing event one
of the of the most pleasant in the his
tory of Elkdom. He was accompanied
by another genial resident Of Sulphur
Springs, Font McQueary who perform
ed the grooming act just prior to the
ride and did it well. Both these
gentlemen left on Tuesday afternoon
and they may feel assured that they
carried with them the very best wishes
and most pleasant recollections of men

Idaho Plays Uphill Game
Do it now

Last night at the Rink field the Var
sity team ,f the CoIora o School Of
Mines defeated our High School team by
the score of 4S-l7 which was a Great
disappointment to the High School
students.
The High School fellows were out
classed and outplayed, but it is nothing
to their diseredit; they played the
strongest, speediest, best known and
acknowledged toughest team in the
Rocky Mountains and in the West, the
undisputed collegiate champions OF all
this district. 1t was college ball against
High School ball, and the older men
won out Tn High School fello vs. need
not be in the least dlsheartened; they
have a remarkable team, and in the
inter-scholasti field they will make
good showing. Ripley'sb b ys are fight

a lot of the boys. to buck up against
college team playing the class of ball
the Mines are noted for. Toe game az
whole was good one; never once did
our boys stop fighting: they dug in"
and played hard, but they were up
against an impossibility. The Miners
replaced two men with fresh players.
The first hall ended with the score 1873
in favor Of the Mines and no one can
say but that it was one of the hard est
fought battles ever seen on our ne'd.

Nevada Capitol Meets

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Nevada Capitol Gold
Mining company was held in this city
Monday, December 8. The report of
the secretary-treasurer showed that
the amount Of development done by
the company since its organization is
6l5 feet; 255 feet of shaft sinking was
done on three of the claims at the time
they were taken under lease and bond
by the company, making total of $40
feet. The ground comprises eleven
claims situated on the south slope of
Seaton mountain and in rich min
eral producing section. Since the COM
pany began work nearly two years ago,
it has been kept up constantly and the
work has been under the direct super
vision of James Rule, who has pushed
it in a very energetic and mine-like
manner. The actual cost per foot for
driving tunnel, laterals and sinking
shafts has been $14.21 which also in
cludes all Office expenses, advertising,
postage and expenses incidental to pro
H1Otiu6 O S0iupohy.
The showing of ore in the workings
is good and especially in the shaft and
lateral of the Bessie M. The Golden Rod
tunnel is being driven to cut the veins
in the several claims, all Of which have
excellent showings on the surface 1t
is an adit tunnel, and ore in small guam
titles follows it to the breast, distance
Of 291 feet. 1t will soon reach the Bell
claim, from the shaft Of which some
good grade Of ore has been taken.
Another vein that has a fine streak of
ore in the shaft is the Lily. which will
also be developed for shipping purposes.
The president of the company is E.
NJ. Sabin, Of this city, and Capt. r. G.
Dill, Of Denver, il secretary-treasurer.
The report showed that the company is
in excellent condition financially with q
prosperous outlook. The stockholders
have received a report each month
since the organization, giving in detail
al moneys received and for what ex-
pended, and also setting forth what
work has been done during the month.
In this manner they have kept in touch
with everything pertaining to their
interests.

Captain Henry l. Seemann was in
the city Wednesday and was coralled
by reporter for some item Of news.
Being an old newspaper man he realizes
what it means to get good realiable in
formation and his courtesy is always
appreciated. During the month of
November the Seemann tunnel was
driven one hundred and seventy four
feet, the greatest distance Of any
III, nth since the work began. On No
vember thirtieth the breast was in a
distance of 2575 feet. For over one
hundred feet the tunnel has been driven
in richly mineralized rock and the in
dications are that within a short dis
tance a good body Of fine grade ore will
be opened up. Captain Seemann is
putting an electric power wire down
Fall river from his power plant and
has twenty men employed on this part
of his work. His faith in the future
of Fall river is unbounded and there is
scarcely doubt but that his brigh;-
est hopes will be realized for which
we all devoutly wish.

This works a great inconvenience to
those " h. have no way VI coming here

pend upon friends and delivery wagons
for their mails. By this cumbersome
proceedings many families get their

should come through the establishment
Of rural delivery route. ~ Comneuc-

to its junction with Chicago Creek tn, n
up the latter as far as the st Regis tun-
mel then down Chicago Creek to the
city limits would make practicable

irons thus served would surely justify
such route. Surely the large num-
ber of people along this suggested
route would appreciate its establish
ment and some of them should begin
at the desired initial point and get

the course to the termination.
This paper is ready to WORK to such
ends and will enueavor to secure all
necessary information in relation to
the plan to be taken in order to get
the matter before the proper postal
