APEX ITEMS.

interested interviewer of the famous
Evergreen mine. They will return again
in the spring and will be most vel
come addition to our little town of Apex.
Mr.. Childs has been an extensive tray
eler over the continent and thinks that
the Evergreen mine is one of the great
est propositions he has come in contact
with.
Mark Wolfe went to Denver Friday
afternoon and returned Sunday.
H. c.. Hollister, secretary of the
Evergreen Gold G. Copper Mining COM
pany, accompanied by Mr.. Wiley of
the East, arrived Sunday and made a
thorough examination of the Evergreen
and its new concentrator. Mr.. Wiley
is another gentlemen who has become
attracted by the richness of the ore pro-
duced by the Evergreen property. They
left Sunday evening well satisfied with
their visit and Mr.. Wiley will return
again in the near future.
l.. F. Buehrle left Friday for the new
camp in Silvernite, New Mexico, where
he will locate if the Greasers will let
him.
Sam Keenan, went to Denver last Fiji
day on business.
Billy Barrick came up Saturday
evening to look after the Rochester and
other various interests for the company
which he represents. In his usual
eloquenco the candy kid related partially
the outlines of development. Men arc
at work doing assessment at present,
but as soon as the weather will permit
the new road to the Rochester will have
its first initiation in hauling ore from
that property and it will be continuous.
He left for the Queen City Sunday af-
ternoon.
Ed. Walters of Russell Gulch, and
Ray Knight of Central, came out Sat

They returned Sunday evening.
w. D. Converse is thinking of moving

There is only one Apex with one store
and competition is the life of trade, so
William will have to shuttle off that easy
gait, accompanied by the tinkerng of
wagons, etc, and Solicit"
Andy Danielson was visitor to Ger
tral Friday.
A report is circulated that the Mackey
property has paid off all indebtedness
and will start active operations in the
near future. The Mackey mine is as
rich in ore as the Evergreen, in fact it
is the same character, but with graft
ing management at its head. as hereto
fore. the Mackey had better stay shut
down, and our people and the town of
Apex will fare much better. This part
of the country is getting tired of these
"wildcat" propositions and will not
tolerate them any longer. While the
Mackey property lays idle and big
monument of mill in connection, the
former manager has at his disposal four
or five of the latest make automobiles
and stable full of race horses in Mis-
souri,. Still, some of the old 'rutters'
will tell you how much he has done for
the Pine creek district. Where is he
and where are you at?'' Some of US
haven't even enough money to pay our
taxes, let alone our assessment work.
He brought lots of money into the camp
and kept it. Now where do you get off
) at?
The Evergreen mine and concentrator
has been closed down for some time
owing to the inactive working of the
machinery. For the first test the COM
pany should have seen to it that every
part was there and did its duty. Now
it is reported that not all of the mach
inery was at hand when the test run
. was made. We will have to admit that
the Evergreen concentrator, as far as
, it has progressed, has done its duty to
the fullest extent. New parts of the
: machinery which We're lacking, will be
installed, and we predict that Gilpin
county will yet boast of one of the rich
est districts she has produced
, Creek.
! 1t is reported that a tunnel will he
driven from Tolland to cut the Mascot
: at American City, the Mackey and the
Evergreen, and that company is being

Charlie Mangleson is working on the
McCargar property and they report
that the showings are excellent.
