Is Hiding in the Woods.

Urbana. o. Somewhere in the
woods surrounding the little village of
Eris, northwest of this city, Charles
RrannOn, charged with staying his

neck and death was instantaneous.

house from whence the authorities
were notified.
A sheriff's posse is now searching
for the fugitive.

Pink and Red PonIin.

One doesn't hear very much about
vivid pinks and rose reds as modish
cOlors in fashion centers, yet it is a
fact that much of these shades is
worn. Not as whole costumes, of
course, but as wings adorning tiny
fur hats, or a black suit touched with
deep watermelon pink.
A coat loosened down the front re-
veals dainty scarf in f1amingo tones,
and a trim tailored-looking waist will
be finished with a turnover collar en-
broidered In pink, the bow matching.

wailing.

They Envy Us.

Idaho Springs, in fact the whole of
Clear Creek county, is envious of Gilpin
and its efficient Chamber of Commerce.
Hardly a week passes but that the pap
ers of that section have something very
complimentary to say of the organiza-
tion and the beneficial work it is accom-
plishing. The Siftings last week in tell
ing about the handsome booklet to be
issued this week congratulates the
Chamber upon its enterprise in this di-
rection and bemoans the fact that the
numerous commercial organizations of
Clear Greek county won't get together
and have similar book printed. Sift-
ings says: The Gilpin county booklet
alone will cost something over $1,000, and
this is only bagatelle compared with
what it will bring in. This is only part
of the expense that the Little King
dom of Gilpin" is going to in order to
set forth the richness of its mines and
the inducements that are offered capital
to invest there. Clear Creek county
towns and camps should get together,
pull together and stay together" In
such united actions there would be
financial strength. A county organiza-
tion will be prolific of big financial re-
suits and the expense would be much
less than by the independent action of
each locality. Such cooperation should
be heartily concurred in and thus cement
the mining interests in one united whole
as well as to bring the different sections
into more hearty accord and friendlyas-
sociations."

MINING IN THE COUNTY
Activity the Various Districts Presages Prosperous Condi

Dunn saw the Gilpin county exhibit in
his city and was struck by the richness
of the ore. He spent several months in
Utah and Nevada before coming up
here, but he says "Gilpin county is the
greatest mineralized zone" he was ever
in. Before returning to Denver this
week he put ten hands at work develop
ing the property. Mr.. Dunn has named
his claims the d. & r. c., having been
with the Rio Grande Ry. over thirty
years. 1t is his intention to organize a
company among his railroad friends and
push developments on the property.

NeWhouse Tunnel Affairs.

1t will not be long before work will
begin in driving the Newhouse tunnel.
Nearly all the properties affected have
been signed up and the money is in
hand to push the project to successful
termination. This will mean the open
ing for shipments of many mines which
are now idle owing to the water condi-
tions. 1t will mean also work for many
miners and larger shipments for Idaho
Springs. While it is desirous that all
persons interested should sign liberal
contracts who have properties along the
proposed extension yet it is not the in
tention that the work shall be retarded
owing to very few, perhaps three or
four, who may hold out. They should
be glad of this opportunity but there
are persons who want to profit at the
expense of those who do things and the
Newhouse management does not pro-
pose that the many shall be discommod-
ed on account of such "hold backs. -

A Splendid Entertainment.

Joseph Newman and his company
held the boards at the opera house last
evening and gave the theatergoers over
two hours of delightful entertainment.
Mr.. Newman and his troupe visits this
city annually and it has been the pleas
ure of many to attend each year. Those
who were at the opera house last even
ing must admit that his company this
year is better than any he has yet had
on the road. Mr.. Newman himself
was unusually good and exceedingly
clever and original in his comic songs
and dialogues. His stunts took well
with the audience and the appreciation
felt was manifested by liberal applause.
But the members of the company who
made the big hit We're Miss Ruby
Thorpe, the violinist, and Miss Ruth
Skeel, contralto. Miss Thorpe masters
the violin in highly classical manner
and her playing would satisfy the most
critical Miss Skeels singing was in
deed beautiful She has a voice far
above most singers heard in grand
opera. These two ladies were encored
time and again and We're justly deserv-
ing of the loud applause they received.
