On Monday morning Sam Brethour
and J. r. Allison along with several
other 'courting men packed their night
shirts in their grips and proceeded to
Georgetown to eat good square meal
and return again in the afternoon.
They had been drawn on the jury. 1t
was a scene to make an angel weep to
See how Sam limped up to the Judge S
desk and with tears in his throat tell
the court of the trials and tribnlations
of an acute attack of rheumatism and
it touched the heart Of the judge and
Sam was excused. Then Allison relat-
ed with tremulous voice how he had
been courting for two weeks in Golden
in the famous bath tub suit until there
was sneaking suspicion that he
really enjoyed it and he wanted to get
home and prove the contrary. Jack
Cruise pulled out a roll of paper as large
as a Sunday edition of the metropolitan
journal with "Brick" Robinson's sig
valorous and sky-scraping deeds of
Jack as a fireman and the danger to
which the city would be subject if he
were held in durance vile. He also
came home. But the most ingenious
fellow who wanted to be excused was
the fellow (nameless here forever
more) who is reported to be indulging
in numerous gin fizzes until he was in
his own mind, incapacitated to sit in
the jury box as long as might be nee
essary. This would not pass muster
and we are waiting to learn how he
got through with his trying ordeal.

Thursday of last week until Monday
afternoon looking over the holdings Of
the Honest John company of which
they are active stockholders. While
here they We're the guests of John
Puckert who made their visit here of
the most pleasant nature. They ex-
pressed themselves as decidedly pleased
with the condition and outlook of the
company and satisfied with their in
vestment. They were most favorably
impressed with our city and surround
ings and it is not improbable that they
will purchase home here.
Several years have elapsed since this
city has had a real good Fourth of July
celebration. Each year there have
been those who wanted to wait on ac-
count of other places having such. We
have done this often enough and long
enough. Let us proceed at once with
out the aid or consent of any nation on
earth. y 1t is patriotic to properly
observe this day not only once in sew
eral years but each and every year.
If it is an emblem of love to ones
country to celebrate at irregular times
it should be a token of our admiration
and devotion to celebrate each return
thereof. The fires should never be-
come so low on the altar of patriotism
as to be smoldering embers. They
should be kept brightly burning and
annually the flames should be famed to
their greatest height There is ample
time for our civic, business and fra
ternal organization to take this up and
make it a rousng success. Here is an
opportunity for the Commercial Asso-
citation to take a lead and show the
right kind of metal from which one
should be composed. We ought to
have such for the benefit of the
growing generation, for the entertain
ment of hundreds in our midst who are
unable to go elsewhere to enjoy them
selves. The populat ation here is suffi
cient to ensure good time and if we
have the right kind of Fourth, prop
erly advertised and made entertaining,
there will be no question about attract
ing people from other localities. LET

bedded in the soda formation at the

some old prospector and the water

it. There is also an old miners pick

The young men who are interested in

raise funds to make howing sue
cess of this great American game for

they should receive the pecuniary
assistance of the people and especially
those who are enthusiastic admirers of
the game. They have had several en-
tertainments and while the results
have been fair, they should have
much larger. Whenever the
boys get up anything to raise money
to defray the expenses, a most liberal
patronage should be given them. They
give their time to practice and get up

A G Elliott, an old timer in this
mining region, has been spending
several days here on mining business.
He came to Central City in 1877 and
shortly thereafter discove cred and To-
Gated the famous War Dance mine
in Gilpin County. He found ore from
the grass roots of rich quality and
after taking out few thousand dol
lars worth of ore he sold the property
for S35, 900 retaining one tenth in
terest. In the War Dance group
are seven claims. He believes that
some of the other claims of the group
have just as good gold deposits as
the one known as the War
Dance and that this property is
worth to-day several millions and will
bring such sum when all these
claims are opened up on a large scale
The property is in litigation and as
the court will only allow $3.50
per month for working the prop
erty, the number of men employed
is now limited to five. Many people
believe this mine will in time rival in
production and richness, the best
properties of the Cripple Creek dis
trict.

Mr.. J. F. .Kaminky, the patriotic
booster for the Alice district, was in
the city this week. He has the right
idea that the Upper Fall river country
is destined to become a great mining
camp and that favorable conditions are
rapidly bringing that desired time close
at hand. He talks for his section right
straight out from the shoulder and thus
sets an example of loyalty that might
be followed by others in these dig
gins" with credit to themselves And
he does this because of his firm belief
in the great future of the Alice district.
After an absence of thirty years, that
old veteran and highly respected citizen,
Cyrus Whitcomb, left for his boyhood
home in Orange county, Vermont, to
visit his mother who was ninety three
years old last Christmas. At the be-
ginning of the civil war he enlisted in
company B of the fourth Vermont reg
iment and was severely wounded in the
first battle of Fredericksburg. He carries
in his body several bullets and on the
lapel of his coat next to the Grand
Army button is suspended large bullet
that was taken from his person while a
companion of it is giving him consider
able internal trouble. He expects to be
absent for several months. Several of
his steadfast friends were at the train
to wish him pleasant and safe trip.
