Pikers Pound Out Eighth

Last Sunday afternoon, in one Of the
most exciting ball games seen On the
local grounds this season, the Pikers
defeated the Cottrells of Denver by
scure of II to- 8. At the beginning it
looked very much as though the Pikers
We're to meet their first defeat of the
season, as the visitors succeeded in
scoring eight runs before the side was
retired in the first inning. However,
in their half of the first hiring. the
Pikers, by heavy hitting, managed to
bring in five runs. making the score at
the end of the first inning SIS in favor
of the visitors. After this inning the
home team tightened up and allowed
the visitors but one more run during
the balance of the game, and by heavy
hitting and good base running, succeed.
ed in scoring seven more runs and win
ming the game by the above score.
While Mitchell was hit hard in the first
inning, it was due entirely to poor
fielding that the visitors succeeded in
rolling up such large score. Sher-
wood in center and McClelland in right
field both made costly errors, and four
of the visitors runs were chargeable
to these errors. Menzimer behind the
bat, although having a badly bruised
side which he injured last week, caught
an excellent game. While running
from third base to the home pl tie he
stumbled and fell and again hurt his
side, but showed his grit by continuing
and playing an excellent game to the
finish. There was a large attendance
and the grandstand was well patronized
One thing particularly noticeable was
the number of ladies' attending the
game and the enthusiasm displayed by
them. If there was any doubt in any
body's mind about base ball being
popular sport in this city, that doubt
was dispelled last Sunday The people
are proving that good base ball team
in this city will be appreciated and sup,
ported, and it is to be hoped that in
stead of decreasing, the attendance
will increase with each game.
The game scheduled for tomorrow
afternoon between the Pikers and the
Electricians of Denver promises to be
a warm one and closely contested.
The visitors have strong lineup and 8
good record so far this season and the
game should be as exciting as the one
last Sunday.
The lineup of both teams is as
follows.

Soda boulevarde has recently been
the scene of much activity evenings,
and has assumed its pristine attrac-
tions. The opening of the Trocadero
and the evening dances at five cents
per dance has been appreciated not
only by the home people who like the
merry widow two-step, but also by the
large number of tourists who are within
our borders. With the Trocadero and
Casino there is some recreation even
ings. If our city only had first class
band to enliven the evening air, all
would be happy. There is no reason
why we should not have a good one,
and the expense on large number of
citizens per month would be very small
while the general amount would be
large.

Gold Hammer Eni.rs.s

One of the most interesting items
along mining lines that has come to pub
lie notice for some time developed this
week when Thomas Coppard transferred
his interest in the Merrimac to Frank
Joslin and his associates, thus uniting
mutual interests that will eventually
result in extensive development on
Donaldson mountain. In other words
the Merrimac becomes a part of the
Gold Hammer group. and thus gives
the property an outlet long desired for
development of the large bodies of orc
known to exist in the property.
As it now stands the Gold Hammer
group consists of the Highland Mary,
Great Western, Evening Star, Occa-
ciana, Ceere K, Gold Hammer, Mary
Mckinney, Morning Star and the Mer-
mac, and covers the most valuab e ter
ritory on Donaldson mountain. Will.
the present development has not been
extensive, still enough ground has been
opened to insure the owners that great
profits are to follow the opening of the
property, and with the acquisition of
the Merrimac, comparatively easy
means of both ingress and egress has
been obtained. The present develop
ment consists of shaft over 100 feet
deep on the Merrimac and shaft $50
feet on the Gold Hammer and but
little development work. All the claims
are patented with the exception of the
Merrimac, and there is not dollar of
Indebtedness standing against the COM
pany.
The officers of the company are:
PRESIDENT. j. Joslin.
Vice President-R. R. Graham
Secretary y-Treasurer-F. A. Joslin.
Manager and Superintendent-B.
j. Martelon.
These with F. l. Corruthors form
the board of directors.
Frank A. Joslin has been in camp
for the past ten days and has made q
study of the conditions with a
view to thoroughly acquainting himself
with the property prior to prosecuting
an active campaign in the develop
ment of the group, and the assurance
that when once the work is started,
an abundance of means will be pr0vid-
ed with which to prosecute the thor
ough exploitation of the property.

If the owners of the warm springs
will look to their own interests as well
as to the comfort of the patrons, they
will enlarge the bathing capacity of
the hot tunnel baths and make the sur
roundings more agreeable as we'll as inn
prove the sanitary conditions. When
upwards of forty people day take
baths in such a small tunnel, the at
mosphere cannot be otherwise than i'm
pure. The management does its best
to make everything all right, but is not
given ample room to give the patrons
the comforts they should have. 1t is a
shame that enlarged conditions are not
afforded.

Godfrey Carlson is Dead
This community was shocked this
morning by the announcement that
Godfrey Carlson, a well known resi-
dent, had passed away at.his home on
Miner street, even the members of his
immediate family not anticipating his
early demise. Mr.. Carlson had been an
invalid for some time but has ever re-

yielding to despondency. Fighting
disease at all times, he has shown
wonderful fortitude, and from appear
ances bid fair to live for many years
He YVES born at Tolo. Holland, May
%, 1867, and came to this city about
twenty-five years ago. At once be-
coming interested in mining and mill
ing, he soon acquainted himself with
the business and soon became an ex-
pert in both lines, succeeding in ac-
cumuiating snug fortune.
He leaves wife and two children, a
boy and girl, all of whom were at the
bedside at the time of the death.
Funeral services will be conducted at
the family home on Miner street next

services being conducted by the local
lodge of Elks of which order the de-
