Heller Leases Eorfar.

A lease has been taken by A. H.
Heller on the Forfar mine in the Rus
sci district and McFarlane & Sons
have received an order for 25 h.
p. boiler and an engine of the same
capacity. The engine and boiler will
be delivered in few days and will
be placed in a building already on
the property.
The resumption of work on the For
far is but another indication Of the
return of old time activity in Gilpin
county. This is mine which has
been idle six years or more with
the exception, perhaps, Of some work
that has been done in a desultory
manner. That the proposition is a
paying one II handled with anything
near conservative management is a
fact acknowledged by mining men
whose opinions cannot be doubted.
The last person to operate the prop
erty to any extent was Arthur Col

GiIpin Mines Rejuvenated.

The old Gilpin Mines team. which
furnished a first-class article of ball
last season, has just been rejuvenat-
ed and some good games with strong
teams from Denver and other outside
points are promised during this
month and next. A reorganization
was effected this week and Neil Nc
Kay was chosen manager without 4
dissenting vote. He was recognized
by all as the one man who was capa-
BILE Of properly handling the nine, and
had he not consented (unhesitatingly)
to accept the honor SO generously
thrust upon him, he would now be
in worse condition than he was fol.
lowing the runaway of few months
ago.
A game has been arranged with the
swift Cordove team Of Denver for
Sunday. 1t will be called precisely at
1880 o'clock. Every lover Of baseball
is expected to turn out and likewise
turn in-at the grand stand. Whoever
witnesses the game from the outside
will invite censure and deserves to
be hit with a ball. So don't forget to

AFTER WATER

j. C. Fleschhutz returned Monday
morning from business trip Of sew
eral weeks in the east. While away
he visited the leading financial cen.
ters Of the continent, including New
York and Philadelphia. The object of
his visit east was to consult his peo-
pie regarding the project of bringing
water into Gilpin county. This has
been a proposition Mr.. Fleschhutz
has had in mind practically ever
since he came to this district.
Since his trip he is more encourag-
ed than ever over the possibility Of
carrying to successful contamination
what might be termed pet scheme.
He says the money is virtually as
sured and as soon as he completes
important details connected with the
proposition he will be in a position
to make public certain information
that will cause the mine owners and
operators of Gilpin county to rejoice.
Mr.. Fleschhutz conversed with
some Of the noted financiers of the
country during his eastern visit and
says that while there has been a
temporary lull in financial circles on
account Of the anxiety felt in the
tariff question before congress, he
heard their prediction that the year
1910 would be the most prosperous
in the history Of the country. He
met capitalists who have been inter-
ested in mining in Gilpin county and
others to whose attention this dis
trict had been called. He said with
plenty Of water and the erection of
the proposed cyanidation plant capi-
tai would not have to be coaxed here
it just couldn't be kept out. Mr..
Fleschhutz will devote his time to
furthering the water project along
with attending to his various mining
connections.

MAKE BIG CATCH


Marshal Launder Saturday took In

itinerant mendicant who blew into
town and was plying his trade
Chlass was four-flushing as a cripple
and was deceiving the gullible into
believing that he was minus one
arm One arm. which he used in ac.
cepting the nickles and dimes was
free; the other he carried on the in
side of his shirt, showed down into
his trouser leg.
Chlass was about the smoothest
hot-air peddler the police of this or
any other city have had to deal with
When placed behind the bars he be-
gan to tell the Marshal and Judge
Mccullough what an important catch
they had made. He told them he
was guilty of about every crime on
the criminal calender and when he
was reeling off his spell both the
marphal and justice stood amazed
and appeared as couple who had
been hypnotized. Chlass told them
that there were numerous rewards out
for bis capture and considering the
fact that they would wax rich over
his srrest they could well afford to
give him three good meals a day, in
stead OF the two slim ones it Is Gus
tomAry to give inmates of Hotel de
Launder. Chlass then related the his
tory. of his life which sounded like

He represented himself as a deserter
from Ft. Riley, Kansas, and told the
marshal If he would telegraph the Of
ficers at the fort he would learn in
stantly just how badly he was want
ed. DESERVING was his favorite diver
sion and in accomplishing his escape
he didn't stop short of murder. He
said after escaping from the fort he
was captured and while being return
ed killed the deputy-sheriff who was
taking him back. While the bad man
was relating this deed the marshal
and justice were visibly affected by
fright and had to lean against each
other while their legs trembled. They
were wondering all the time how
they could shake loose from their
prisoner without sacrificing their

The marshal finally made his get.

Riley, notifying the officers of the un
precedented arrest he had made and
asking what should be done with the
terror Of terrors. 1t just dawned on
the marshal and justice that they
had been ''stung" when they receiv-

wasn't known at the fort, had never
been heard of, and furthermore that

 Throughout the session a large at- tendance was on hand. and especially last Sunday, when people from over the whole section gathered at the church. a good portion of whom attended through curiosity, and for the fact that there was known that there would be large crowds present.
