SHOULD GIVE
ACCOUNTING
GROWING BELIEF THAT PUB
Lie MONEY USED FOR IN
TERSTATE FAIR MAKES 1T A
PUBLIC AFFAIR.

Since the management of the
Interstate fair has appealed to the
public, and more particularly to
the county for financial assistance,
1t appears only fair and business
like that the public should know
to what use every dollar of their
money has been put. If the enter
prise were entirely financed by the
stockholders, the amount of money
handled would be a matter of their
concern only. For many years
public subscription has done much
for the success of the fair, and last
year a substantial sum of money
was provided by the county, but no
rendering of accounts been made.
The secretary of the organiza-
ton draws a certain salary. Other
than this, it is said, no salaries
are paid. And still the entrance
fees and the money derived from
the sale of concessions together is
insufficient to Offset the expenses
of the fair. The stockholders main.
tain that they derive no profits
from their interests and support
the institution merely for the good
of the community.
The word of the gentlemen back
of the fair is not questioned, but in
private relations similar to that
desired with the county financially
they would certainly require &C
countings.
There is a growing supposition
that the public will be expected to
continue to support the fair, en-
HANGING the value of the grounds
until it is plated and thrown upon
the market Conceding that the
stock is not interest bearing, the
dividends derived from the sale of
the land will make tenfold resti-
tuition. The public will have no
word in this and reap none of the
benefits.
The second attempt to have the
iair grounds exempted from tax
alton has been made by Offering
for public uses through the play
ground commission a small tri.
angular fraction of ground on the
extreme west end. Through an un-
derstanding with the playground
commission, this piece of ground
VIII be improved and beautified by
the commission to the extent of
the amount of taxes thus Cancelled.

WHO OWNS THIS BOY

Special Correspondence to The Press

Special Correspondence to The Press
DENVER, Oct. 3.-Denver has a
Peter Pan. His name is "Frenchie''
Just "Frenchie"-this unadopt-
able boy without home, and who
will not have home outside of the
bare walls of the local detention
home.
Superintendent Wright of the de-
tention home is in a quandary as to
what to do with "Frenchie." He
inherited him when he took the
office several years ago, and there
is no one connected with the home
who remembers when the waif did
appear on the horizon of the waits
retreat. He is the pioneer of the
establishment. He has been taken
by the best families in Denver and
in Colorado, but his time limit away
from the fare of the outcasts is
about two weeks. Then he comes
back and says none of them equal
the detention home for real liv-
ing" Most of the boys and girls
of the home would escape in their
"nighties' is they could get the
chance
Way back in the ancient history
of the home there is a legend that
Frenchie was left on a ranch near
here by band of rowing gypsy In
dams, they having stolen him from
rich parents.

the county commissioners who,
acting upon the advice of the
prosecuting attorney to the effect
that they had no power to adjust
or cancel taxation, tabled the mat
ter.
1t had been previously taken be-
fore the board of equalization
which denied the owners OF the
fair grounds the right to exemp-
ton from taxation.
1t is held reasonable that the
county commissioners require a
complete accounting for all public
money expended on the fair before
they fix the levy asked by the
stockholders.

Developing Night Hewk


Driving was started the first of this
week on the Night Hawk vein in the
Hudson Burr, or Silver Gem tunnel at
the head Of Silver Age gulch. The
work il being done by contract, the
contractors using Rand machine drill,
alternately in each heading. The east
drift is in 60 feet and the west 80 feet
The property is owned by the Quartz
Dyke Mining company, and the Night
Hawk vein was cut at point 800 feet
in from the portal of the tunnel Some
distance east of the tunnel a shaft on
the vein, and about 70 feet deep has
opened up strerk of lead ore from six
to eight inches wide of good smelling
grade. The Night Hawk property is
located on the same vein system as the
Silver Age and Franklin, and but a
limited amount of development has
been done, The work now under way
will thoroughly prospect the vein anC
more than likely will result in opening

Kenneth Mo.cript Returns

Kenneth Moscript, son of Edward
NJ. Moscript. leading mining and lum-
ber man of this city, arrived home last
Thursday evening after having COM
pleted his term of enlistment in the
United States navy, in which services
he visited many places of interest
around the world. The young man
spent couple of days in Denver be-
fore coming to Idaho Springs, which
is nearly mile and a half above sea
level, and he may find this altitude
much different than fer the past few
years. The young fellow has been en-
joying good health and retires from the
naval services with honors. He has
not yet fully decided what his future
course will be but for the present at
least will remain here. A score of
friends extend the glad hand to Ken
meth, including not few members of
the fair sex.

Have Cut the summit

The Summit vein was encountered
the first of this week through the Sill
yer Gem tunnel in Silver Age gulch,
at point about 800 feet west of the
Summit shaft and at a depth of over
500 feet on the pitch of the vein. The
east drift on the Celestine vein was
continued short distance and cross
cut was driven which has resulted in
disclosing the long sought Summit vein.
The work has been done by Henry
Cole, of the Peniel Trust company of
Denver. who has a lease and bond
on the Summit claim, and owns the
Galatea and other lodes in that vicinity
adjoining the Summit. At an early
date raise will be started and the
vein will be prospected by laterals east
and west. Al the point the vein was
intersected the values are not
sufficient in the ore to yield a profit
at this time, but it is thought that the
continuation of the ore shoot can be To-
Gated with comparatively little work,
and the ore body should carry good
values at that depth, if the quality of
the ore in the upper workings can be
taken as a criterion

Oliver Lease Looks Fine.

The lease in the eleventh level of the
Gem mine, operated by Lewis Oliver
and associates, is beginning to assume
bonanza proportions, and it would seem
that that the lucky leases will shortly
be rolling in wealth. This week in their
block of ground there is opened up a
two-f foot strea of mineral which re-
turns better than 2 ounces gold and 5
ounces in silver per ton. Even should
the values run down to half of that
there will still be good pay in the
block. The ore shoots in the Gem are
generally of goodly proportions and
there is little doubt but substantial
small fortune will be the result of their
work with hammer and drills. At
present the leasers are handicapped
in getting their ore to market, as are
all of the leasers in the Gem mine, but
the congested condition will shortly be
overcome and the returns will COM
mence to roll in. =

Idaho Springs IS no exception TO the
rule. and the roller skating craze has
affected the old and young alike. Ihe
exhibitions Of graceful skating tg the
few IS the least interesting, as he SC
ries of funny falls and other stunts by
beginners furnish no end of amusement

good for rheumatism. the blues and
many other ailments, and should be en-

An ore body having width Of from
fer and half to seven feet has been
'aoeeed up during the past week in the
br"5at Of the Saratoga lateral from the
Ne~house tunnel. The supposition is
tnat the strike is the continuation of

eral millions OF dollars of ore. The en-
tlre width of the streak is being ship
ped to the Wilkie mill, and the latter

UnwateringS Silver Horn.

The water was taken out of the Silver
Horn shaft down to the first level the
fore part of this week and work viii be
stlrted at once. The ore streak eN-
ppsed along the adt level foiIop the
snaft all the way down very distinctly
and can be traced without trouble all
through the mine working. The leas-
ers VIII not be obliged to do any dead
wo and viii start a stope at ce and
begin sacking ore for shipment.
Mr.. Mclean has owned the Sill
Yer Horn group of claims for
many years and has preserved the
ore reserves with care. Only small
amount of stoplng has been done, and
this resulted in the shipment of some
e. tremely high grade ore for which
the Ute creek section Of the district is
noted. Mr.. Mclean has reached the
age where he should enjoy the fruits of
his efforts in developing the Silver
Horn, and the royalty from ore ship
ments will yield him nice income for
ong time to come. Of course only
the high grade ore will be extracted by
leasers at this time, but later the ship
ment of the medium grad ore will real
ize larger profits when the property Is
worked on scale justified by the
showing in this grade and character of
material.

"Tho Liberators."

The publishing house of b W. Dodge.
& Co., of New York City, has sent out
advance copies of the latest and most
intensely interesting novel of the sea
son, The Liberators, +" fasclnatng
political story written by an &C
complished politician Isaac N. Stevens.
formerly owner and editor Of the
Pueblo Chieftain. The book is short
ly to be placed on sale in the book
stores at $1.50 and it Will unqueston-
ably have large sale especially
in this state, where it is well know
the author received much of his po-
litical experience during the past few
strenuous years.
lntermingled with the political dis
cussion and situations there is a story
Of love and romance: and it is said some
of the characters IN the story NAV be
recognized as men prominent in poll
tics of the Colorado kind. No direct
reference is made, but perhaps the most
interesting part of the book is the ref
erence to the successful attempt to
overthrow an election in a Western
state, and to install officials that were
defeated by an overwhelming majority
of voters. This revolution may have
taken place in any one of dozen states
west of the Miss .ssippi but the author
does not locate the scene.
The Liberators, is a book which
will advertise itself, and VIII not de b
pend upon the reviews Of the literary
editors in the new spapers. The novel
is clean and entertaining from cover
to cover, and is bound in substantial,
unique binding.

Hobo Tourist Wa. Here

Thomas Patrick Burns was his name
and he blew into Idaho Idaho Springs
the first of the week. Burns was
nearly blind. deaf and dumb, and
suffering from rheumatism and miners
consumption, in fact there was none of
the ills human flesh is heir to that Burns
did not have. The poor invalid carried
q cane and hobbled from house to home
presenting his card asking for aims, to
aid him to get from London to Pata-
gonia but owing to his helpless condi-
tion was unable to explain to anyone
how he got off the route and in this
manner secured pocket full of coins
from the charitably inclined.
Thomas Patrick Burns departed
from Idaho Springs yesterday morning
at the solicitation of the city marshal.
He was not the same man, as he hiked
down the railroad track Denverward-
In fact few days stay in Idaho Spring
! had restored his sight and he could hear,
talk and even sing. His rheumatism
had disappeared and he had recovered
Ills Iltdll III anu dSPdi SSSi ii
high spirits. He can cheerfully rec
commend Idaho Springs as health re-
sort and also the generosity of its citi-
zens.
The remarkable restoration to health
of Thomas Patrick Burns during his
short sojourn in this city was not due
to the mineral waters of the hot soda
springs, for Burns disliked water
SO much that he kept as far away from
the creek as possible. After gathering
in the sheckles of the sympathetic,
Burns went to the bar, or several of
them, and it was the brands OF whiskey
which worked the miracle. The first
drink was ordered in husky whisper
and with gestures, in fact he was
obliged to ask the barkeeper for
assistance in pouring out the liquid.
As drink after drink flowed down his
throat, his faculties were restored one
by one and he became SO hilarious and
lively that it was necessary to deposit
him in the city jail over night. 1t is
thought that Thomas Patrick Burns, the
tourist, spent more money in Idaho
Springs than he collected. He would
have liked foprolong his visit here, but
Marshal 0 Rourke suggested that the
altitude was too high, and that the
county Jail was at still higher altitude
nand he decided to depart. Thomas
Patrick Burns was an able bodied
husky and happy man as he started to
count the ties between here and Den
yer.

SinK Speculator Shaft

The Speculator group of four claims
adjoining the New Era property at
Freeland, and owned by Chas. Williams
and Andrew Pike, has been taken
over under bond and lease by a pool
of Freeland miners. composed Of
Julius and Ernest Psrdi, Chas. Car
lin and Gus. Simpetro. Work will be
started next Monday at which time
q whim will be erected at the collar
of the 60 foot shaft and the shaft will
be sunk to q depth of $50 feet. In
the bottom of the shaft there is a
good streak of ore showing which is
from IL to lS inches wide and is said to
carry values of between $40 and $50
per ton. The ore contains a good per
centage of lead and copper and car
ries some zinc. but not enough Of the
latter to be penalized 1t the smelters.
The pool will work double shifts and
it is expected that good headway
will be made in sinking the shaft.
An Of ~ ore taken out in sinking
will be saved for shipment, aud it ID
expected will fully pay for the work.
The Speculator property has long been
known as an excellent prospect, and
it is believed by many has the ear
marks Of big mine. The group lies
west of the New Era and Rough and
Ready claims and adjoins the Mos
cript property.

DOG Gone Damaae $50

sum of $50 and costs for the loss Of one
white bull pup. which it iA claimed .ssas
