The Odd Fellows Are COMING.

Next Saturday will be big day for
Gilpin county and especially Central
City. The Democrats will hold their
Judicial convention here and the Odd
Fellows excursion will come up from
Denver for the tram trip. The commit
tee in charge of the Odd Fellows ex-
cursion announce that only authorized
members of the reception and enter
tainment committees will be permitted
to make the tram trip. These commit
tees will be supplied with badges to dis
tinguish them from other citizens who
might see fit to appoint themselves to
point out the numerous resources and
attractions. OF course, everyone who
comes in contact with the visitors are
supposed to show them any courtesy
they can, but it can readily be seen that
it is necessary to exclude those from the
tram trpwho are not on the committees.
There will be about 900 Odd Fellows to
take the ride and this number is all the
tram road can accommodate.

Founder Of Gamble GuIch Dead.

Alfred Gambell, a pioneer of Colo
RADIO and years ago resident of Gilpin
county, died at his home at 1647 South
Acoma street in Denver last Friday of
liver complaint. The old man was Sc
years of age and came to Colorado from
Richmond, Ohio, in May 1853. He first
located on Boulder creek and located
Gambell gulch in the northern part of
Gilpin county. After residing a number
of years in Colorado he returned to Ohio
but was not content to remain away
from the hills of Colorado and returned
to the west in 1860. Soon after return
ing this time he located quartz mill on
the present site of the town of Nevada
vile and gave the place its name. With
in year after the erection of the mill,
the building was consumed by fire.
Gambell made several trips back to
Ohio in the early days but never cared
to remain preferring to make Colorado
his permanent dwelling place until his
death.

Last evening at the home of the
bride 'sparents in this city, Miss Anna
Zeige and Mr.. Howard Wherry were
unitedfn marriage by the Rev. J. R.
Wood. The wedding was quite home
affair and only relatives and close
friends. were present. The couple will
make their home in Breckenridge where
the groom is engaged in mining,
Mr.. and Mrs. Wherry have a large
circle of friends in Gilpin county. The
latter was born here and like most of
the young ladies' hereabout who have
grown into womanhood among the
pleasant and congenial surroundings of
Gilpin county is of most pleasing and
agreeable personality. Mr.. Wherry is
man of worth and ability. He is en-
ergetic and has been quite successful in
this and other camps. That the union
of these two may ever be happy one
is the wish of the Observer, in which
many friends will join.

Senatorial Nominee.

The Democratic senatorial convention
of the Goth district was held at Golden
Saturday morning. B. J.-o'Connell, of
Clear Creek county, was elected by ac-
clamation. He was the only candidate.
Mr.. O'Connell has served in the lower
house of the legislature several terms,
representing his county. He has made
an excellent representative and can be
looked to render signal service in the
senate. Politically he is strong man
and is good campaigner. There is no
doubt of his election as the people will
not take chance on the Republicans
sending another repulsive individual like
Morgan to the senate whose record was
revolving.

Prominent COuDIe Wed.

Mr.. Albert Stearns, of Russell Gulch,
and Miss Marguerite Mccullough, of
this city, were married in Denver Tues
day evening at Montclair Episcopal
church by the Rev. C. A. Chrisman.
They VII remain in Denveruntil Fri.
day and will then return to Central to
take up residence in the Wilbur Rule
house, which has been nicely furnished
by the groom.
This marriage unites two young peo-
pie who are well and popularity known
throughout the county. The bride is
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. McCul-
Tough and first saw the light of day in
Central City. She was educated in the
local schools and graduated two or three
years ago. Since completing her edu
cation she has been teaching in various
districts in the county. She is a most
affable young lady and makes friends
readily. Mr.. Stearns is also product
of Gilpin county. He was born in Rus
sell Gulch and the major portion of his
life has been spent in that vicinity. He
took up mining as vocation and has
followed this line of work steadily. At
present he is working lease in the Old
Town and is making money. He stands
well in lodge circles and among the min
ing fraternity. Mr.. and Mrs. Stearns
are well mated and it therefore goes
without saying that their venture in
matrimony will bring them unceasing
happiness.

the Buckley, were up from Denver
Tuesday to see what is going on at the
mine. They were satisfied with the
work being done under the direction OF
John Laughran and are convinced as is
everyone else that the gentleman under
stands mining thoroughly. Shipments
are being made every day from the
mine and four different mills are receiv-
ing the dirt. This is being taken out in
drifting in the $50 east and the 100 west.
Drifting is progressing at the rate of
four feet day.
Mark Harris, manager of the Slide
mine in Russell Gulch, says that oper-
ations will be resumed on the property
before long. Work was temporarily
suspended short time ago and at that
time was looking good. 1t is believed
that with little more depth the Slide
will come into ore bodies as substantial
and rich as those struck in the Old
Town, adjacent to the Slide. The Slide
is also close to the Pawabic, one of the
best propositions in the county.
Pumping is still being carried on at
the Buell. mine. After two months of
pumping the water has gone down over
200 feet. 1t was up to the 170-foot point
when the work of draining the mine was
commenced. The water is being lifted
at the rate of $50 gallons minute and
three shifts are at work. The shaft is
about 800 feet deep and there are sew
eral miles of slopes and levels to be
drained
Thompson & Hambly are erecting
large boiler house at the Pawabic. The
building will be 2S 80 feet in dimen-
sions and will connect with the Pawabic
shaft house. They will also build some
coal bins and store rooms. The new
boilers at the Pawabic have not steamed
up yet but will as soon as steam con-
nections are made.
E. s. Moulton who is operating the
Concrete under a lease is shipping
two and three cars of ore day to the
Rocky Mountain concentrator. This dirt
is being taken out of'points in the 500.
Assays on the stuff show pretty fair
values. Mr.. Moulton is now employing
eight men steady.
After about two months work in the
shaft. making repairs, and retimbering,
the Frontcnec is now in a position to
push development work and production.
Drifting is being carried on in the 500
and 600 levels.

Republicans Nominate in Golden.

Yesterday at Golden the Republicans
of the First Judicial district held their
baugh, of this county, for judge and ].
w. B. Smith, of Clear Creek, for dis
trict attorney. There were no other
nominees for these positions. The con-
vention was devoid of enthusiasm, as is
all cut-and-dried or steam roller affairs.
Following the judicial convention the
Republicans of the 26th senatorial dis
trict held another convention and nomi-
mated Frank Church from the northern
portion of jefferson county for senator.
Clear Creek county made fight for w.

Pioneer Ends His Life.

Friends and acquaintances of Jacob
Jurgens, who are numerous in Gilpin
county, were shocked last Saturday to
notice an account of his death in the
Denver Republican, the use of chloro-
form being resorted to by him to end
his life. The suicide occurred Thursday
evening. Jurgens suffered stroke of
paralysis about year ago and from
this attack he never recovered. His
condition worried him necessarily and
he feared that it would cause him to
lose his mind. Rather than become
lunatic he took his life. He left a
note, which explained his object in COM
mitting suicide. 1t read:
ITO the Coroner or Whom 1t May

Jurgens lived in this city until five or
six years ago. He earned his living by
teaming and run stage lines from Cent
raj to Idaho Springs and from Black
Hawk to Perigo. He came to Colorado
in the early days and freighted between
Denver and Omaha.

MOOSE CREEK FIND

DAWSON, Sept. 10.-Moose
creek, in the Forty Mile, Is being
stampeded. Fourteen of the STAN
peders who staked have returned
to Dawson, and many more are on
the way.
1t is reported that as high as a
hundred dollars day has been
found on Moose creek by a man
named Swanson. He has been
working there long time, but
seems to have found the rich pay
only recently. Mr.. Swanson two

The stalking in the present STAN

on the CANADIAN side and flows
across the boundary into the Amer

D. D. COLLINS
KILLED

o. d. Collins, superintendent OF
the Opportunity irrigation plant
was instantly killed this afternoon
when $ his automobile crashed
through the north railing of the
East Sprague avenue trestle to the
rocks 70 feet below. He and A. C.
Jameson were coming in from Op-
portunity. Jameson was driving
the car when 1t began to skid, sud
denly. Collins is said to have lost
his composite, grabbed the steer
ing WHEEL out of Jamieson's hand
but turned 1t toward the railing in
stead of toward the middle of the
trestle.
Yelling to Collins to jump for
his life, Jameson himself leaped
and just cleared himself as the ma
chine went through the railing to
the rocks below, carrying Collins
with it.
Jameson escaped with a badly
sprained knee caused by contact
with the boards of the trestle. Col
Inns dead body was a mass of
broken bones when the rescuers
hurled down to it.
The police were called, and &C.
companied by Emergency Physi-
clan Roark reached the scene a few
minutes after the accident was re-
ported.
In hopes that there was a spark
of life left, Collicns' body was rush
ed to Sacred Heart hospital, where
it was determined that death had
been practically instantaneous.

FRUIT CROPS MAKING
BIG MONEY

Fruit growers in Chelan county
are reaping a rich harvest for their
fruit this year. Everything points
to the present year being one of
the most prosperous in her history.
The peach crop is nearly all pick.
ed, and, while the price has not
been high, the great increase in the
crop has placed lots of money in
the fruit growers pockets.
The cantaloupe and the tomato
crops were the most profitable of
the early products, and the prices
paid for these were the highest
ever paid before for like products
in the Wenatchee valley.
The apple crop will also be big.
The various fruit growers associa-
tions expect to place the apples in
pool at prices ranging from $1.25
to 1925.

ROBBERY OF $4,000
FINALLY FERRETEO OUT

SEATTLE, Sept. 10.-When
James H. Beggs was accosted by
City Patrolman Hubbard on board
the steamer Senator, which had
just arrived from Nome, the clos
ing chapter of one of the biggest
gold dust robberies in the history
of the west and north was closed.
Beggs was arrested on a warrant
issued by Deputy United States
Marshal Charles Dreibelbis, Of
Fairbanks, charging him with en-
tering the state of Washington
with stolen goods.
The real charge is that Beggs
had part of the $4,000 which
Bobby Miller had planted two
years ago at Fairbanks after turn
ing over to the authorities the ma
jor portion of $78,236.34, taken from
the steamer Tanana.
Robert Miller Is supposed to be
on his way from Skagway to Sc
attic to meet Beggs and divide up
the money. Miller completed a two
years term of Imprisonment this
spring, and Immediately upon his
release went north. The Firemen's
Fund Insurance Co. of San Fran
cisco, which had paid the full loss
on the gold, did not lose track of
him and his movements were
known to them from the time he
left Mcneil island up to the time
he is alleged to have given Beggs
the gold.
On July s, 1906, the Washington
Alaska bank consigned to the
Washington Trust Co. of this city
$7S,236.34 worth of gold. AS usual
it was in the form of gold bricks.
Each was stamped and a sample Of
each brick taken. The gold was
sent in wooden boxes, strapped
with iron and sealed. The Tanana
left Fairbanks on the evening of
July s. Bobby" Miller was the
saloon night Waterman aboard. He
took the $7S,236.34 worth of dust
from the boxes when the steamer
was steaming down the Tanana
river and while everyone aboard
was asleep. In each box he placed
shot to take the place of the gold
bricks.
When the steamer reached Fort
Gibbon Miller had completed his
work and transferred the bricks
from the vacant stateroom on the
