Cook Making Coed.

Drifting and stoping in the Cook in
the 14OO level on the Bobtail vein is
being carried along with energy. The
property is being worked by the men
who formerly worked in the mine when
the property was working a regular
force. A solid streak of iron 8 1-2 feet
wide has been opened up that runs very
well in values. A great deal of work
has been done in driving the Fisk on the
140O foot level and it looks very good.
The output of ore per day is about 100
tons which keeps 80 stamps busily en-
gagged in the Bobtail mill. The mill
treats custom ore in addition to the Cook
output, and about 80 men are employed
in the operation of the mine and mill.
VIM. Bishop is looking after the general
management of the property and he re-
ports that last week $3500.0O were dis
tributed among the men for two weeks
work. The Cook is valuable property
and will yet prove the largest producer
the county has known for some time. A
retort weighing 101 ounces from the
Bobtail vein was exhibited at the Rocky
Mountain bank this week. 1t was from
weeks cleanup of mill dirt. The gold
taken from the Bobtail workings is of a
very pure grade and the 101 ounce re-
tort was worth $1700.

APEX ITEMS.

Sam keenan, was visiting in Denver
this week.
Ed. Walters returned from Denver
on Wednesday, where he attended the
Odd Fellows doings.
Andy Danielson was county seat
visitor Wednesday.
During the absence of Shad Reed,
foreman of the Evergreen mine, who is
at.esiing the Odd Fellows 'doins" in
Denver this week, Frank Stuck is look
ing after the above property.
Why is it that the Central boys enjoy
their visit to Apex? There are several
nice looking and lovable girls in this
little town and we wonder if that is the
cause? There is one who comes from
Central for no other reason than to
throw his feet under mothers table,
and haul wood. We can vouch for this.
Of course he wouldn't pass up a good
looking girl. But has he?
AS far as Apex is concerned the Pine
Creek district will flourish the same as
ever. Apex vicinity is little quiet at
present, and of course that is expected
of any camp. The big mine of this sec
ton has shut Evergreen mine
but not for great length of time. A
new mill has been erected for the treat
ment of the ores of this property. The
! Evergreen mine is noted for its rich val
| nos in n nd Of ha lie
in this part of Colorado was recently
erected. Some parts have failed to
operate as they should, thereby necces-
stating the extra effort of getting new
machinery. The new Evergreen mill is
of the latest and most up-to-date of any
in the county. Without any Dragging
this mill of this kind has got them all
skinned a city block. Several new parts
have been ordered and which will be
here in few days. The mill at first
did not work satisfactory to the COM
pany but the workmen in charge did
everything in their power to work the
machinery as it should be. The mill,
without doubt, will be worked to its
full capacity and to the best advantag e
to its people and community. The peo-
pie of the entire district look forward to
the operation of the Evergreen prop
erty with anxiey.
AT present the mine is not doing very
much in the way of development. The
pump is kept busy and the mine is free
from water, and when the mill is ready
to resume operations everything in
every capacity will be in readiness.
Al. Hartong and Ray Knight We're
getting in their winters wood this week
and nice lot of timbers were hauled.
Ray says that hauling wood is all right
but that he thinks the mule got into the
wrong stall. Well, this isn't half the
story. After "The Weekly Educator"
of Central has passed through its great
Hoe press he will again buckle into har-
ness and do that little stunt which is
termed the "crosscut double" What
he will say about this-well, ask AL.

MUSIC OF BENEFIT TO SICK
No Doubt That Sweet Sounds Have
Good Effect on Nerves.

In the Berlin charity hospital, on
every Sunday, in the afternoon, con,
certs are given for the benefit of the
patients. The good effects of the
music are said to be extraordinary
The British Medical Journal recalls
that St. Cecilia guild was founded
in London some Is years ago on the
initiative of the late Rev. Frederick
Kill Hartford, then minor canon OF
Westminster. The movement was
supported by some prominent persons
among whom was Sir Andrew Clark,
and its efforts in few hospitals and
workhouse infirmarfes were watched
with certain amount of languid in
terest by few members of the med
ical profession. But the enterprise
came to nothing. Our medical con,
temporary thinks it pity that the
st. Cecilia guild was allowed to die
and says it might be worth while ap
plying the experimental method to the
determination OF the effects of music
on the circulation and on the nervous
system, and thus indirectly on other
functions of the body, in a more seri
GUS and systematic way than has yet
been done.

Dawson especially effective, proving
, all that his friends claim that he ranks
among the best pitchers in the state.
Batteries -Furde'e and Price; Daw-
son and Gideon.
In the second game Tuesday both
teams got down to real playing and
the large crowd certainly got the
worth Of their money. Eleven innings
were played and the crowd was kept
on the jump in every inning. CoIther
pitched for Okolona and for the first
few innings he was hit pretty regular.
After that he settled down and had
Bonneville guessing. He not only
pitchesa we'll, but plays his position
strong. Dawson's batting, McDonneIls
first base work and Lenoirs work on
short we're the especial features of the
game. Without question Okolona has
in Lenoir the best short stop in the
state, and if he desired, capa-
Bile Of playing professional ball in fast
company. He is steady and reliable
at every stage Of the game. Mellow
ellis three base hit in the eleventh in
ming brought in the winning run, and it
was beauty
Bateries-Colther and Gideon;
Grissom, Curlee and Price.
The third game was farce, Boone
vile playing rings around Okolona and
hitting the pitcher at will. But taking
the series as a whole there was plen-
ty Of thrills and good ball playing.
Okolona has the best material in her
history and with little more practice
will hold its own with any team in the
state. Both Bonneville and Okolona
are to be complimented on their gentle
manly conduct on the field.
Following is the result Of the series:
Neutrality-suspicious. 7, Bonneville 3.
Tuesday Okolona 5, Bonneville 4,
(eleven innings).
Wednesday Okolona 3. Boone

BEECH TREES AND LIGHTNING.
Wrong Belief as to Safety during Z
Thunderstorm.

A widespread belief il that during
a thunderstorm safety may be found
under a beech tree, and that the dan.
ger from lightning is Is times as
great under a resinous tree and 50
times as great under an oak. DR.. A.
w. Borthwick, the British naturalist,
finds this view to be entirely without
foundation. The beech is not avoided
by lightning, which selects one species
as readily as another, but the taller
trees in the neighborhood appear to
be the ones liable to be struck The
effects of lightning also are common.
~ misunderstood. The cells of tree
are not ruptured or torn by the for
nation of steam, as so often stated.
but they collapse, or shrink up, with
out tearing. The roots seem to es
cape damage.

OKOLONA VS.. TUPELO.

Last Thursday the OkoIona Bal
Team in the embryo with a few
rooters iourneyed to Tupelo, to cross
bats with that speedy organization.
When the end came Tupelo had Z
scores and Okolona none. But it was
a much better game than the score
shows. Dawson pitched an exception
y fine game, only 6 hits being made of
him--and these widely scattered.
This was Okolona's FIRST game and
If the boys will do more Of their prac-
ticing on the ball field than in the
soda fountains and pool rooms our
town will have team strong enough
to compete with any in this section.
Gussie Mcdonnell, one Of the best
ball players Okolona has ever de.
veloped-and there have been some
good ones-has signed with the fast
semi-professional team representing
Amory and will play 3rd base with
them and probably pitch occasionally.
