BOYS INJURED

Paul Matthias. 11-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Matthias, was
painfully injured in a blast last Fri
day afternoon. For a time 1t was
thought his injuries would prove SER
ious and there was a grave possibili-
ty of him losing one hand and the
sight of at least one eye. Paul, with
Joe Penz and another companion
were doing some mining in an aban-
doned prospect on Bates hill. The
hole where the lads were playing
is ~ feet deep. Young Penz was
in the shaft and had just finished
drilling a hole. While he was tamp-
ing some powder in the hole with a
broom stick, the powder exploded.
Matthias at the time was on surface.
looking down the shaft at Penz. The
blast sent a large amout of dirt and
rock in an upward course. which
struck Matthias full force. His eyes
were filled with rock and dirt. a
finger and thumb on the right hand
were badly torn and numerous cuts
were received about the face. The
boy was brought to this city and DR..
Asquith was summoned. Although
at the time of the accident it was
thought that at least the thumb and
finger would have to be amputated.
the doctor says he will be able to
save them. The peculiar feature of
the accident is that young Penz, who
was tamping the powder, was not
injured at all to speak Of. He was
a little to the side Of the hole
when the explosion occurred. The
accident will put an end to the op-
erations Of the juvenile miners for
a time.

FIGHTS A BIT

George w. Foreman was tried be-
fore Judge Mccullough in the police
court Saturday afternoon on the
charge of making, assisting and coun-
tenancing breach of the peace The
disturbance happened Friday after
noon of last week at the Next Pres
ident mine. Foreman, in company
with G. H. Ellis Smith and Simon
Uren, went over to the mine and at
tempted to take possession of the
shaft house by force. They were
ordered off the premises by the
company men employed and upon
refusal to leave, an attempt was made
to eject them. A fight ensued and
for time there was lively ex-
change of blows. Foreman and Uren
held their ground and put up an ac-
tive defense but as soon as black
eyes commenced to loom up G. H.
Ellis Smith betook himself to Black
Hawk and there boarded the after
noon train for Denver. Foreman and
Uren were placed under arrest and
brought to the city. No charge was
made against Uren and he was dis
missed. Foreman was held to stand
trial.
At the trial City Attorney w. E.
Withrow prosecuted the case and MIR.
Foreman defended himself At stages
the trial waxed warm, certain things
developing now and then which would
tax the calm and even disposition of
Job much less the irritable and
| uneven disposition of q Mccullough.
Foreman was found guilty and fined
$500 and costs. He furnished a
bond of $4,000 and took an appeal
to the district court.
1t seems that the trouble of
which Saturday afternoons trial was
the outcome, came about in this man
| ner. Smith until three weeks ago
was manager for the Great Bonanza
company, operating the Next Presi-
dent and was let out. He claims the
| company still owes him money for
| services rendered as manager and
he sought to get possession of the
mine in the hopes Of forcing a set
tlement.

MINING NOTES

1t is rumored that our popular rep
resentative, Judge Hicks, has made
all arrangements to start work on the
Ophir-Rurroughs property Immediately
after the adjournment of the legisla-
ture.
A strike that may develop into q
bonanza is reported at the Alps mine
which is being worked by local
company, under lease and bond from
the owner, Hal Sayre, OF Denver The
strike was made in the 200 level of
the submarine shaft and is the most
important yet recorded from the prop
erty. The streak is from 15 to 1S
inches wide and carries values run
ming from $3.50 to 5000 a ton. The
Alps has been a consistent and steady
producer for years but this strike
will doubtless greatly increase the
value of the mine.
Slater & Co., operating the Pyren-
ess, have opened up quite a body of
fine looking lead ore in the new sub
marine shaft which they have been
sinking, about $50 feet west of the
800 level. Indications now point to
this mine again taking it's place as
the largest lead producing mine in
the county.

SHERMAN Tunnel

Major S. G. Brock of Macon, Mo-,
was out last week looking over the
work at the Sherman tunnel on Sill
yer creek. He was accompanied by
a gentleman high UP in ore treat
ment. A large amount of ore was
taken to Denver to be tested SO as
tc'ascertafn the best treatment for
it, then reduction works will be
erected that will be successful and
not failure, like hundreds of idle
mills that dot the face of the west,
monuments to rashness, ignorance
stupidity and incompetence. Drifting
on two veins is now in progress at
the tunnel. Next week an exhaust
fan is to be put in and more men
set to work. The company look
with favor on the coming in OF the
Pactolus railroad and some of its
wealthiest stockholders may inves,
heavily in it, as it will give a cheap
transportation outlet for their ore
and bring in coal and supplies al
reasonable figures. The Sherman
Macon NJ. & NJ. Co. is one of the
richest corporations operating IL
Gilpin county. 1t is liberal buyer

START TOGO

Preliminary work was started on
the Togo mine in Willis gulch, under
the Saratoga dump, this week. The
property was recently acquired by
Chicago people and a strong COM
pany has been organized to carry
on permanent operations. l. R. Ball,
an old Alaska copper miner, has been
placed in charge and will divide his
time between the Togo and the pos
sessions of his company in Alaska.
He will be out here next week to
arrange for the commencement of
development. Sinking will be the
first development commenced. The
shaft will be deepened 100 feet
There is small shack on the Togo
but this will be torn down and a
large shaft house house erected and
a good plant of machinery installed
The company back of this PROPOSE
tion is one of the wealthiest ever
entering this section. With their ex-
tensive Alaska copper mines, which
are large and constant shippers, they
have endless capital. The Togo peo-
pie were attracted to Gilpin county
by the favorable reports they receiv-
ed of this premier gold producing
camp, which led to a thorough and
systematic investigation that con-
vinced them of the possibilities of
big returns on investments.

in a verdict Of not guilty. The evil
dence introduced at the trial was
not rs strong against the defend
ant as that offered at the prelimin-
ary hearing. w. z. Withrow. who
was appointed by the court to de-
fend Paoli, conducted the defense in
most able manner. His final argu-
ment to the jury was logical and
withal convincing. After the com.

Struck Vein in Newhouse.

Manager George Collins, of the
Newhouse, who was over from Idaho
Springs yesterday told an Observer
reporter that round of holes open
ed up vein in the tunnel Monday.
The vein is wide and soft and the
samples taken show it to be highly
mineralized. OF what lode the vein is
Mr.. Collins is unable to state. The
ground now being penetrated is soft
and has been since the vein zone
was encountered and it is the opin-
ion of Mr.. Collins that the end of
the hard rock has been reached. This
will enable more rapid progress in
driving.

to three and one-half ounces in sill

and running over the Horn table the
product run s5s.O6 to the ton.
