The Wellington Group.

Operations on the Wellington
group in the Russell district, own
ed by the King Bee Gold Mining
Milling company, are being vigorous
ly pushed both on the surface and
through the Newhouse tunnel. De-
velopment done during the past year
consisted of drifting aggregating up
wards of 5000 feet. No stopping to
speak of has been done and what
shipments that have been made was
taken out in the course of sinking
and drifting. The Iron Duke shaft,
now down $40 feet, will be sunk to
depth of 500 feet before any time
is devoted to stopping. When the
depth of 500 feet is attained short
crosscut will be run to intersect the
vein. Crosscutting and drifting at
200 and 300 feet indicates that no
less than four veins will be found
to have merged into one large vein,
at point just above a depth of 500
feet. This work will be accomplish
ed by March 1st, from which time
on, steadily increasing production
may be expected.
The Iron Duke shaft, which is ver-
tical, and is about the finest shaft
in Gilpin county. 1t 12x9 feet in
the clear, divided into two compart-
ments and designed for the use OF
cages Of modern construction. The
shaft will be continued downward to
connect with the Newhouse tunnel,
which will be struck at depth of
1856 feet, allowing for water grade
of six inches to the hundred feet.
lateral will have to be run to make
the connection, which will be perhaps
2400 feet in length. The connect
ing the lateral is being driven from
the tunnel end on a vein known as
the Wellington No. 6. This lateral
is now in $50 feet, and shows a
nice streak of smelling ore. Some
from the lateral, seventy feet both
ways, and up and down. The We'll
lington No. 6 is one of the few veins
cut by the Newhouse tunnel, in which
pay ore was found at the point of
intersection. Shipments aggregating
several carloads of ore have been
made from this vein, the ore run
ming better than six ounces gold to
the ton; also containing splendid
values in silver, copper and lead.
Assays Of the streak made daily
show an appreciable increase, indi
eating that the lateral on the vein
is entering another zone of high
grade ore.
On the Compensation lode, the
company has done considerable work
in sinking n hundred foot shaft. A
shaft of 200 feet has also been sunk
on the Waterloo and other shafts Of
lesser depth have been sunk on the
group. For the limited depth attained
the shaft showings are good.
Operations were started on the
Wellington group less than two years
ago. At that time there were no top
improvements Of any kind and no de-
velopment work had been done to

equipment now mark the barren hills

DIVORCE CASES SC0TCHED
VIII Not Go Sliding Through Court
with Same Facility as
Before.

BY a change in the rules OF the district
court just made by the Judges it will be
more difficult to rush default divorce cases
through court than 1t was under the old
rules. Formerly the rule applying to di-
vorce cases provided no case should be
heard before the day on which 1t was as
signed in the bar docket, but If a case was
filed after the bar docket had been made
up 1t might be heard Immediately after
answer day. This gives a priority to cases
filed after the bar docket had been made
up.
Under the changed rule unassigned cases
cannot be heard until after the last as
signment day. Under the old rule a case
filed just before the opening OF the Octo-
Der term of court could be heard II there
was no answer on october 20. Under the
new rule 1t will have to wait until after
October 30, and then take its turn. While
the rule is not a radical one it will affect
a number of divorce cases.

COUNTY FAIR GETS MONEY
Agricultural Society IL Awarded Five
Hundred Dollars Donated by
the Com missioner.

Complaining that the Douglas County
Agricultural society had been ignored by
the Douglas County Corn Improvers' ASSOC
citation in the handling of the $500 donated
by the county board for an exhibit at the
National Corn show, members of the board
of managers of the former society appeared
before the county board Saturday and
asked that the donation be made to the
Agricultural society. The discussion which
followed showed there is considerable feel
ing between the two organizations, though
the corn improvers were organized under
the auspices of the Agricultural society.
John McArdle and ]. W. Shumaker rep
resented the Agricultural society and
Charles Grau the Corn Improvers' associa-
ton. Mr.. McArdle said it was the Agri-
cultural society that made the request for
the appropriation, but in some way 1t had
been made to the Corn Improvers' asso-
citation. Mr.. Grau said the appropriation
was made to the Corn Improvers' associa-
ton because the board had already made
the full appropriation authorized by law
to the Agricultural society for the county
fair. He said the corn improvers did not
care who handled the money just so all OF
it was spent for premiums and none for
salaries. After hearing both sides. the
county board referred the matter to the
committee OF the whole.
The county board authorized the opening
of what is known as the Procknow road,
northwest of Florence, which has been
under consideration for some time. The
hitch came because Mr.. Procknow, a part
of whose land was taken. demanded pay

WHERE OPPORTUNITY CALLS
Manufacture of D~enaturized Alcohol
an Unworked Field of Industry.
VARIED USES AND BENEFITS
Obstacles to Production and COnsump-
tion Gradually Disappearing
It's Importance ms n
Fuel.

Completely denatured alcohol in Ger
many is almost exclusively employed in
providing heat, light and power. During
1sS7-SS the amount OF denatured alcohol
consumed in Germany for heat, light and
power purposes was only 100000 gallons,
so that tho consumption for such purposes
decreased seven times in seventeen years.
This field of heat, light and power has
hardly been SCRATCHED" in this country.
This has been due, first, because Amerl-
can manufacturers were not prepared, until
quite recently, to supply the requisite en-
giI es, lamps, stoves, heaters, sadirons and
the thousand and one utilities in which in
Germany, France, Great Britain and Rus
sia denatured alcohol is successfully used
as fuel. Furthermore. leading manufac-
turers of similar utensils In this country
found themselves, at the inception of the
denatured alcohol legislation. stocked with
coal, gas, kerosene, gasoline and electrical
apparatus, and were naturally disincl!ned
to lend a helping Rand to those articles
which. however beneficial to the public,
would displace goods already marketable in
which their capital was invested. With
the importation of foreign made utilities,
however, and the distribution thereof here,
the Yankee manufacturers. with that keen
EYE TO business" and foresight for which
they are famous, are now not only rapidly
beginning the manufacture Of alcohol using
apparatus of foreign design, but. In many
Instances have perfected lamps. stoves,
smoothing irons. etc. that are far superior
TO those Of the old world.
Some Obstacles tn the Way.
Another obstacle in the pathway OF the
new fuel was found in the original inter
nal revenue regulations which surrounded
the sale of denatured alcohol with such re-
strictions as to practically preclude its
handling through ordinary channels of dis
tribution, This red ape" however, has
now been removed, and dealers may sell
and distribute same as freely as any other
fuel.
The third and, perhaps, the greatest
drawback to the Introduction Of denstured
alcohol as a fuel fer heat. light and power
has been the attitude OF the dealers them
selves. The druggists. who were, at the
outset, favored the government in the
handling OF denatured alcohol to the ex.
