Midget, the little Jersey COW be-
longing to Mr.. and Mrs. Hartong of
the Apex hotel, died last week after
giving birth to twin calves.
The COW will be sadly miss
ed, not only by the Apex hotel, but
by the several residents of the camp
who depended upon Midget for their
cream. In the meantime Mother Har-
tong is making cruel and other num-
erous things in an endeavor to raise
the calves. Let us hope she sue
ceeds.

Oak Creek, Colo, where Mr.. Marks
has good position.
Mr.. Shad Reid, who will be the
able manager of the Evergreen mine
and mill, reports that the property
will be in operation by the first of
the month and that large force of

intention of the company to resume
operations on the first of May, but

from doing anything. Stroehle &
Sons of Black Hawk are out this
week overhauling the boilers and it
may be necessary to install new ones.
Several new parts of machinery will
be added to the concentrator and
everything possible will be done in
order to make the process a success
The Evergreen is one of the Oldest
mines in the district and with added
depth and more extensive develop
ment will prove one of the best pro-
ducers in the county.
George Waite will start work on
his tunnel as soon as the weather

summer. The Derby, Evergreen, Lon.
don tunnel, Moley Pole tunnel Mack
ey and Bullion tunnel and several
other properties will be in operation
and that means whole lot for this
camp.
Just what the Rochester people in
tend to do on their property we are
unable to state at this writing, but
we are informed that they will start
work on their several holdings in
about a month.

The roads are still in bad con.
