There Is no difference of termination

GOOD NEWS FROM THE GOLD

The Silverton Standard arriving this

garding the starting up Of the Gold

Col. John ID. Chapman OF st. Ste

son of Boston, directors and large
pany. arrived In Silverton the first OF
the week and remained for several
days on business pertaining to the re-
sumption of work on the property Of
the company.
1t viii be remembered that on the
night OF June 9Th disastrous fire de.
stroyed all the buildings grouped
around the mouth OF the tunnel OF the
Gold King mine. Since then difficult
ties have arisen which delayed the
rebuilding of the structure destroyed
The rubbish from the fire has now ali
been cleared away and It Is almost q
certainty that work Of rebuilding will
begin In a very few days. We under
stand that Monday is the day set and
before our next issue goes to the peo
pie Gladstone will probably again be
alive with the hum OF industry.
There is also a strong possibility
that the Gold Prince property will
resume operations In very short
time. The events of the next few day,
Will decide that question.

King means much to this communit,
