A LEGEND OF
THE GULCH
(contlnued)

The three adventurous placer min
ers still hold the fort despite the in
clement weather of the past week.
Little or no sluicing has been accom-
plished as the cold water freezes the
carpets. But this is not the princi-
pal reason for not working the boxes.
They have struck a four-foot bed of
talc-there may be more of it for all
they know. 1t contains much pyrites
The theory OF the d-time miner con-
corning this deposit was PLAUSIBLE
enough. He thought 1t of stamp mill
origin, laid down ere concentrates
were in general use. 1t is singular
in that the deposit lies ten feet be-
low the surface and overlain with
gravel. Although four feet has been
penetrated there is no indication of
change. II mill dirt from an old
time plant, this stuff ought to carry
good values. Four feet OF mill dirt
at from SIS up would prove a very
good thing for the men. The theory
that hole was at the place and
when the flood came 1t was filled
with this material has its followers
as to the cause of the deposit IA
trench at the place designated would
no doubt mean that the old-time
sluice-boxes were actually located
there. When they take out this ma
terial 1t is expected to reveal a good
quantity Of tailings.
1t Is regrettable but the end OF the
week has shown the proposition to
be one quite beyond the control of
the men. 1t can be handled but the
handicap is too great. The water
problem was one hard to solve. Three
trial pumps were ineffective; the
four feet Of tale, muck or tailings,
or whatever their designation; the
weather, etc., has shown the men
that the enterprise was a little too
obstreperous. One dropped out when
the last pump would not serve. The
other two put in halliday at sluic-
ing. but the results were not favor
able.
The public will be disappointed at
the outcome. Probably work will be
continued under more favorable con-
ditions, at least two Of the trio mean
to stick 1t out, II possible.
Thus do the plans Of mice and men
oft gang a'glee.

QolleYvlIle Notes.

In view of the circumstances mar
rated last week concerning the ces-
sation of running the push car from
Dolleyville, at the mouth of Russell
Gulch, the very esteemed fellowciti-
zen Of that turn, Mr.. F. w. Dolley,
has begun the building of rail road
to parallel the Colorado & Southern.
He has completed fifty feet of track
and has one car in operation which
he utilizes in conveying tailings from

distance from the opening.
There are two vacant houses in the
town Of Dolleyville. The company

tion the past few days. "A man from
Denver was in charge converting a
twenty-foot pipe into a serviceable
pump for operation in a placer claim
which encountered water. The pump

A man came up the track the other
day, reporting his inability to find
accommodation at Forks Creek. Given
sustienance by one of our prominent
citizens the man wished to convey his
gratitude by attempting to sell isin-
glass picture coverings. The devise
was original. The intent of the object
was to assure safety to the picture
in case an earthquake or some other
tremor of the house should jar the
picture from the wall.
Seven placer miners have been en-
gagged working in the creek the past
four months. The inclement weather
has put a stop to this.

ley will put in a stock Of groceries
which he says he will exchange for

ORATORS BADLY
 BEATEN IN FINAL
 GAME OF WEEK

Call out the Reserves. Uncle Jeems wants pitchers and wants them bad. It seems that's the way he has been getting them all season. Pitcher Gibbs, the only Orator who had not received a drubbing so far during the season, was found to the liking of the Ravens on Saturday at Newfield, the final score being 12-5. Fourteen hits, most of which were punched, and five of which were for two or more bases, completed the agony. Reisigl, the Western boy wonder, leased the Ora tor batters at will, nine hits, enough to win an ordinary game, was allowed, three of which went to Hit and two to Ladd. The Orators punched hits in the first and seventh innings, when they netted their quintette of runs. Havel Of the Ravens had two three baggers and a single, while Sherwood and Ambos each had trio of safeties. The score:
