one of the most entertaining games
of the season. The score stood seven
to four in favor of the professionals.
The battery for the latter consisted Of
Morehouse, Morris and Richards, while
the business mems battery consisted
of Moscript, McCleland and Roberts.
The following is the line up of the

directed them to meet the lady at the
Union depot in Denver and break the
sad news to her. The death was the
result of sudden attack of heart fail

In the Argus tunnel the work men are
driving the cross cut tunnel in order to
do the annual assessment work
for 1908. This work has been
going on since the last of June
and will be continuous as the financial
outlook for raising funds is favorable.
The work has been done in a substan-
tantial manner and every dollar raised
has been made to count in the tunnel.
Work on the Golden Age tunnel will
be commenced in a short time as J. j..
Hoban, the manager, expects that the
financial end will be met with excellent
success. The tunnel will penetrat te the
rich section of the Gold Medal, Silver
Age and other good properties. Mr..
G. B. Suter of Denver is secretary
treasurer of the company and is devot-
ing his time assiduously in financing the
proposition.
In doing the assessment work on the
Road Side claim, located up Spring
Gulch near the Torpedo, Arthur Har-
per has opened up a fifteen-inch streak
of quarts that shows excellent mineral
ization. He is sinking shaft on it
and the streak widens as it goes down.
The property belongs to Nebraska,
Idaho Springs and Denver parties and
comprises four claims. 1t looks as if the
owners are get good thing.

| There has been some talk along the
line of making greater Idaho Springs
by taking in Pine Slope, Beanville, and
the portion of what is generally con-
sidered part of Idaho Springs lying
along the north side of the city. So
far as heard from there is no objection
offered on the part of the resi-
dents of these several localities
and surely the city could not object.
For all business matters these residents
are part and parcel of the city and
while thus contributing their funds to
the business interests they have no
police protection from the prey Of
cattle, horses, jacks or in any other
| manner.

S. N. Francis, an old newspaper man
of Colorado, is spending a fews days in
this county and the Idaho Springs dis
triet representing the Daily Mining Re-
cord. This paper is getting up an ex-
tensive write-up of the different mining
camps of the state and Mr.. Francis is
here looking up mining conditions and
news for this special edition.
The Poorman mine located on Trail
creek above Freeland is now com
ing to the front in good shape. Dur
ing the following week a carload of
high grnde ore will be shipped from it
to the smelter. Mr. r. w. Mckenzie

Charles Taylor will soon have his
stamp mill on his property up Ute creek
in running order. 1t will have either five
or ten stamps to begin with and the pow
er will be supplied from the flow of the
creek and he intends using an over
shot wheel thirty five feet in diameter.
With this size wheel he can generate
enough power to run his mill even
though there is a limited flow of wa
ter.
| Work has been temporarily suspend
| in the Quito mine, with the exception
of man who is kept there running the
pumps to keep the water down. Mr..
Chas. DeCamp who has been manag-
err for several years, has resigned
his position. 1t is hoped this suspen-
sion of work will be only for a short
perioi, for first class property like
this cannot afford to remain idle.
At the Presbyterian parsonage, on
Tuesday evening, occurred double
wedding in which local young people
were the principal actors and the high
contracting parties. Miss Harriet Null
laughney and Phillip Johnson, Miss Mel
lie Woods and John Cousins made up the
happy quartette, the ceremony being
performed by Rev. Jones of the Pres
byterian church. Upon the conclusion
of the words which made the four two,
the wedding party partook of wedding
supper at the Colorado restaurant.
Horace King, manager of the Casino
has arranged an attraction at that pop
ular resort next Wednesday and Thurs
day evening that should bring out a
capacity house. He has engaged for
these two evenings, Harley Davidson,
the worlds champion skater, both in
speed and acrobatic s, and it is one of
the highest classed attractions ever
presented in this city. The performer
performs stunts never before witnessed
here, one of which is vaulting over
seven chairs backwards, turning COM
plete flip-fop in the arr. tbs also ex-
pected that the visitors will be
matched in contests with some of the
most speedy skaters, and the engage
ment will attract wide attention.
