THE NEW YEARS CHOICE
II 10 Well to Choose Wisely for the

Once. long ago. the Lord appeared
In vision OF the night to a young

was that In which the young king
weighed against all others the thing
which he most desired.
Centuries lie between us and the
young king. Solomon, but still-and
especially on each recurring New
Year's-God appears to each of US
with practically the same offer. ASK
what I shall give theo." And, as with
Solomon, SO with every heart. there
lies tho choice OF the gift. Were the
question an audible one, what would
your answer be?
Each recurring New Years. In Of.

thee" And the choice for the coming
year may be our choice for all the
years OF life. II II by choice that men

Friends in this county of Samuel
Sterling were shocked to hear Of his
untimely death, which occurred in
Denver Tuesday morning. He was in
the employ of the Colorado Telephone
Co., and while working on pole.
fell to the ground. a distance of 80
feet, and received injuries that re-
suited in his death short time after
he was removed to the hospital. Mr..
Sterling was just in the prime of life,
being 2S years of age. He was born
in Nevadaville. Two months ago he
was united in marriage to Miss
Florence Stanley. who is prostrated
with grief over the death of her hus-
band. Mr.. and Mrs. Sterling visited
with relatives here during Christmas
and at the time of the fatal accident
the mother of the. unfortunate man
was visiting with the Slattery fam

in their beautiful hall the fore part
of the evening. preceding the sump-
tious spread served at the Adler ho-

PLACER GROUND OF
CLEAR CREEK.

1t may not be generally known but
Clear Creek is just as much a gold
producer as of yore. OF course the
quantity is not near as great but the
gold is there. A method to save the
fine gold distributed would net for
tune, as will be learned before this
article is concluded. Old Gilpin is
known to be one Of the very best and
most reliable mineral producing Sec
tions in the country. The production
of gold has been kept up ever since
the uncovering of the first lead. Is it
any wonder that the creek should
not come In for a share of the
praise though reputed to be worked
out, having been hauled over time
and again. There is not much in the
way Of hand production, except upon
discovering occasional pockets.
Imagine a section, well watered,
from below Black Hawk, to. say,
Forks Creek. All this ground is far
more valuable than the citizens of
this section rightly know. as has
been pretty we'll tested of late. The
amount of gold taken out in primi-
tive way, while not aston.shingly
large, will surprise many who never
guessed that any work has been done
at all Of late years.
Should a company, organized in
Denver, see its way to take up the
matter seriously, it will not be long
ere the creek will show as much
activity as the Breckenridge section
of Summit county.
At twenty-five cents per square
yard, gold yielding dirt of the width
of the creek and for seven miles!
Enough gold could be produced that
would make a man rich beyond the
dreams of avarice. But how to do 1t
is the problem. Many contrivances
have been seen in the section but
none could have answered the pur-
pose or they would be in operation
now or when the whether is more
propitious.
"A good lead claim must have abun-
dance of ore or it is no mine. Big
assays and small limited streaks are
not to be considered other than indi-
cations with hope of growth into
a bonanza or large bodies of ore.
Now, this ore body must run in the
neighborhood of fifteen dollars ton.
A small margin of profit is left to
the mine owner. Fifty cents a ton
net on ten tons is not much. But it
all depends on quantity. The Home
stake mine at Deadwood, South OAK,
can earn $4,000 month on three
dollar ore. The argument is that the
creek can produce twenty-five cents
in gold for every square yard of
gravel and seven miles of it! The
cost to handle the dirt would not
be one-tenth the expense of working
a lead claim of the average kind.
Then, the gold is free. requiring no
treatment. The proposition is one OF
a remarkable nature and the wonder
is that capital has not embarked in
the enterprise ere this.

Bart Partelh and Cisto Branz went
to Denver yesterday to have the
X.ray used to locate bullet which
lodged in Mr.. Branz's shoulder during
fracas in Perigo last month.
The young fellow will be operat-
ID on today in this city and the bull
let will be removed. The doctors in
Denver told Mr.. Branz If he had per-
mittnd the bullet to remain in his
shoulder a few days longer. 1t would
have caused his death
