COLDEN'S GOLDEN
ANNIVERSARY
COLORADO SCHOOL OF MINES
CITY QUIETLY PASSES ITS
FiFTIETH BIRTHDAY.
FOUNDERS ARE MISSED
GENERAL WEST, CAPTAIN sER-
THOuD AND o. X. WALL HAVE
CONE BEFORE.

Denver.-A Golden special to The
Denver News Thursday says: Today
is Golden's fiftieth birthday, and not
one person present at the christening
in 1859 is here to celebrate. A few OF
the original settlers still live, but none
near the present city of Golden. Capt.
E L. Berthoud and d. X. Wall. both of
whom died within the year, were the
last of the original pioneers who re-
sided continuously within few miles
OF the town they founded.
Fifty years ago today hardy band
of New Englanders pitched camp on
the banks of what is now known as
Clear creek. They were George West,
James Mcdonald, Walter Pollard. Mark
Blunt, James McIntire, Thomas Pan
ton and Joseph Bird, and styled them
selves the Boston company. They had
brought a small stock of general mer-
chandise across the plains, and imme-
diately opened up for business with
the prospectors who were then flock
ing into the mountains. Two weeks
after their arrival work was COM
menced on the first business house in
the new town. The first floor was oc-
cupied by the Boston Company S
store, and in the second George West
placed the printing plant he had
freighted at great expense by OK teams
from st. Joseph, Mo-. and commenced
publication of the Western Mountain
eer.

w. h. Clark and John Beebe. Twelve
hundred and eighty acres were marked
for the townsite. one-fourth of which
was staked into blocks and lots. The
final survey was not entirely COM
pleted until early in 1860. By this
time the town had population of 800.
Golden's first municipal election
was held April 10. 1850. and resulted
as follows: ]. w. Stanton, mayor:
s. NJ. Breath. recorder; W. C. Simp-
son, marshal; w A. II. Loveland.

is a persistent prospector.
A few days after the Boston Com
pany camped on Clear creek, the
stream became a raging torrent, and
John Ferrel built bridge in the exact
spot where the Washington avenue
bridge is now located.
Several months ago the Golden I'M

NEW METHOD OF ADVERTISING
Popularity Of Moving Picture Shows
Taken Advantage OF by Wide
Awake Manufacturer.

A novel method of presenting argu-
ments in favor of his products has
Just been put into operation by a man
ufacturer in the middle west. A NO.
ton picture act has been devised with
all the care that is given to such
performances by the best of the film
makers of France and the United
States.
The services of playwright and
OF actors and actresses were secured,
says System, and a playlet was pro-
duced with all the dramatic force that
has made the motion picture show SO
popular. Talking machine records
were made to accompany these films.
Both these records and the films
were sent out to the company's rep
resentatives in the various cities, in
turn lent by them for gratuitous use
to the proprietors of the motion pic
ture theaters. who were glad of the
opportunity to save the money usu-
ally paid for rentals of such mate
rails.
Thus the need of the company's
product was emphasized and a unique
but effective selling talk was deliv-
cred to the public. who paid for the
privilege of hearing it. Films are
now being made that will simulate a
flying machine trip from New York
to the factory. with motion views of
the various cities en- route taken from
above and including a trip through
the factory departments and showing
as a finale one of the machines as
sembling itself rapidly and mystic
riously without the assistance of hui
man hands.
