A number of men, under the direction
of L. c. Todd, are putting up shaft
house on the Empire State lode in Moon
gulch, owned by the Siren Gold NJ. & M.
Co. The property is located about three
miles from Rollinsville and was owned
by w. L. Miller of Greeley, who turned
it over to the company as soon as or
ganization was perfected. The property
is just prospect, the shaft being about
80 feet deep. Some very high values
are in the ore taken from the shaft,
which assays $4,000 to the ton. AS
soon as the shaft house and other top
buildings are completed and the mach
inery is installed, the first development
to be done will be the sinking of the
shaft. There is considerable water in
the shaft at present and this cannot be
lifted until the machinery arrives, con.
|ss4uently nothing can be done in the
shaft. Mr.. Todd says the mine looks gooc
to him and his extensive experience
in mines makes him capable Judge. He
will have entire charge of operations
and during the summer will have his
family at the property with him.

MINING IN COUNTY GENERALLY ACTIVE
Anchor Good Pay Several Parts the Mine-Rich Strike
in the ps--Concentrator Assured for Russell Gulch
Property Near Rollnsvile Starts

The Anchor mine, which is located
only short distance from the War
Dance, is looking better than it has
since operations were commenced a
year ago. Development has been pro-
crossing steadily and fine ore has been
opened up east and west in the 3OO-foot
levels. In the bottom of the shaft
there is also fine showing. The ore is
similar to that encountered in the War
Dance, both in the shaft and in the
drifts, being full of fiourine. 1t is the
opinion of Forbes Rickard, who is now
manager and consulting engineer of the
Anchor, that by driving the 300 east
drift the War Dance vein will be cut.
The ore that has been opened up in the
drifts runs about S35. 90 to the ton.
Sinking of the shaft is being. pushed to
Increase the depth 200 feet, which will
put the shaft down 500 feet.
VIM. H. Hearne, of Wheeling, w.
Va, who is connected with the COM
pany operating the Anchor, was out
here recently and made an examination
of the mine and was well satisfied with
the proposition. Beside Mr.. Hearne
experts have examined the property
and have made most satisfactory and
encouraging reports. Heavy develop
ment will be pushed on the Anchor,
strong company being back of the un-
dertaking. There is enough money in
the treasury of the company to carry
on development at least two years.

Chamber Of Commerce Endorses Contract

To whom it may concern:
The board of directors of the Gilpin
County Chamber of Commerce hereby
endorse and recommend the contract
agreed upon at joint meeting of the
president of the Argo MD. T. & T.Co. +,
commonly known as the Newhouse tun-
mel, with the owners and representatives
of the owners of the largest groups of
properties on Quartz and Gunnell hills
drainage district, in reference to the
extension of the tunnel through that
district for the drainage of the mines.
We believe the proposition as agreed
upon to be of vital Importance to the
economic operations of these districts,
that it is as fair to the owners of small
groups of property as to the larger, and
as it has been thoroughly gone over for
months by operators and engineers ia
miliar with the conditions as well as at
torneys; we think it to be the best ar
rangement that could be made for
mutual advantages.
We therefore urge upon the members
of the Chamber of Commerce, those in
terested in the welfare of the county,
and the owners of mines in the district
the necessity of their cooperation in get
ting all the mine owners to sign the
agreements that will be presented to
them. Sincerely Yours,
THE GILPIN COUNTY CHAMBER OF CON-
MERGE. By its Board of Directors,

Richie Hughes, who took hold of the
old Hall mine in Russell two and half
months ago, this week made shipment
of nine cords of good looking dirt to the
Fifty mill in Black Hawk. This was
taken from several places in the mine.
A large quantity of smelling ore has
been hoisted to the surface. None OF
this has been shipped as Denver COM
pany has an option on the property and
this will be taken up in few days and
then the smelling ore becomes their
property. 1t is good grade of stuff,
running from $1,000 to $1,000 to the
ton. A big chunk of the ore, which is
of yellow and gray copper variety,
weighing close to 500 pounds, was
shipped to Denver to the parties who
will take over the property and placed
on exhibition in their offices.

Senior Class PIau.

Just now the absorbing topic of con-
versation in High school circles is the
senior class play, "a Scrap of Paper" 1"
The play will be given on next Tuesday
night, June 9th, at the opera house.
The scene of the play is in France,
and the time is the present. The action
deals with small scrap of paper, a
love letter, which was written to young
Prosper Couramont by his sweetheart,
Louise, and put in secret place for
him. The usual obstacles are interpos-
ed and Prosper goes away without re-
ceiving his letter. He returns in three
years to find the charming Louise, the
wife of the irascible old Baron de la
Glaciere. During conversation it de-
velops that the letter must be in the Sc
cret nook still, and sure enough, it is
found there by Prosper. A clever
young woman, Suzanne, now appears
on the scene and secures the letter from
Prosper, who swears that if she makes
him destroy it, he will depart for re-
gions unknown, and will not remain to
terrorize the Baroness.
The innocent scrap of paper now goes
through series of adventures which
furnish combination of humor and
pathos that is entertaining and at times
exciting. 1t is at last burned amid the
rejoicings of the company, and the play
comes to the usual happy ending. "A
Scrap of Paper" is being directed by
Mr.. Geo. Hamllik and Mr.. Z. G. Green,
who report satisfactory progress. The
seniors are being assisted by members
of the junior and sophomore classes.
