May Accept Figure.-It is under
stood that attorneys representing the
patent note holders issued by J. w
War; have practically agreed on Il
figure quoted them by the McElvain
Adjusting company of Chicago, which
through it's representative, II. "
Brooks, has offered to purchase the
stock of the building and loan associa
ton. The representative of the com
pany is not dealing directly with the
holders of the patent notes, but he has
offered their attorneys lump sum
which will net the note holders about
40 cents on the dollar. The attorneys
representing the patent holders have
practically agreed to the figure, and
1t is probable that an agreement will
be signed up as soon as the attorneys
can get the consent of their clients
and nearly all, some so or more, have

the SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MEANS DEATH

How many readers have heard OF this
terrible disease? 1t prevails In that
far-away countTy-Africa-e specially
the Congo district. 1t is caused by
the bite Of the tsetse fly. When it
bites a person, the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful,
balmy sleep Of health. Is there any
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short Of letting the tsetse
fy bite us we would do almost any
thing for relief. How can we pre-
vent it? Mr.. George Hayes, OF
Union City, Pa, writes: Il had lost
my appetite, was all rundown could
not sleep nights l had tried every
thing without relief Vinol was rec
commended, and to my SURPRISE 1t
helped me at once; gave me splendid
appetite and now sleep soundly."
What Vinol did for Mr.. Hayes. 1t will
do for every rundown, nervous and
overworked person who cannot sleep

There is only one way to cure deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inliamed condition of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube IS nhamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness
is the result, and unless the nfama-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine

which is nothing but an infamed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.

KING BEE AND
Il BUELL. MINES

X l.. Martin, the persistent anc
untiring booster for Gilpin county
came up from Denver yesterday anc
fortunately an Observer reporter me
Mr.. Martin when he was in a very
talkative mood (something unusual
BY the way and got a good inter
view.
/, Mr.. Martin is dividing his time
between the King Bee properties in
Rnssell Gulch and the Buell. in
Mountain city. At the former, in the
lateral from the Newhouse $4,000 or
is being mined and daily shipments
OF this rich stuff are maintained from
a streak eight inches in width. The
ore is transported through the tun-
mel and then sent to the smelters.
This strike is of unusual Importance
to the county and is such that will
occasion more than passing notice,
due to the depth at which the ore
is encountered-1700 feet vertical or
1900 or 1900 feet on the pitch of the
vein. 1t establishes the fact be-
yond the possibility of contradiction
that the ore bodies in Gilpin county
continue to a great depth and show
an increase in values. A more con-
vincing illustration of this conten-
tion could not be found than in the
King Bee.
Incident to the resumption of work
on the Buell., Mr. Martin looks for
ward to good returns. The mine has
been drained and thee 600 and 700
foot levels have been cleaned out
and mainly retimbered. Retimbering
in the 600 will be completed in two
weeks. A cross cut is being run
in the 700 to cut the U. P. R. and
Kit lodes, which in the past have
been producers of high grade ore.
In considering the outlook of the
county. Mr.. Martin, who is in a
position to know whereof he speaks,
says the camp is about to exper-
ience the greatest era of prosperity
in it's history. Large operations are
planned for the coming summer, with
great enterprises financed and being
financed.

About the Newhouse
financed

Manager George Collins, of the
Newhouse, was in the city yesterday
on his usual weekly trip of inspec-
ton of mine properties. Mr.. Collins
in speaking about the tunnel said
that not very good progress was mad
last month in pushing the big bore
to the front on account of the hard
condition of the rock. This hard STRAIT
encountered two months ago has not
been penetrated but occasional slips
lead Mr.. Collins TO believe that
loose ground is not very far in ad-
vance of the present breast. Not
withstanding the hard rock and the
repairs which had to be made to
ths motors, necessitating a suspen-
sion OF work for one shift, 220 feet
net were driven, an average of s $40
feet per day. Beside the time lost in
repairing the motors there were two
change Sundays and altogether only
% & days were worked.
y report had gained circulation this
week to the effect that Mr.. Collins
had severed his connection with the
\ewhouse company as manager and
VIXEN asked in regard to the report
he said while he had heard that such
rumor was afloat, there was moth.
ing to it. He is still serving as
manager and his sole ambition is to

ITEMS GATHERED
AMONG THE MINES

The work of retimbering the East
Pewabic, Iron and main shafts of
the Pewabic Consolidated Mining
company's property is now well un-
derway. This work is being done
preparatory to sinking in all three
shafts and contracts will be let for
the opening up of at least two more
levels. The main shaft is down 800
feet and the East Pewabic and Iron
shafts have a depth of between GOO
and 700 feet each. 1t is proposed
to attain IN average depth of 1000
feet or more in the entire workings
of the mine.
Although announcements predicting
the resumption of work on the To-
peka have been made with charming
regularity for months and even
years without visible results, yet
from most reliable source the OBJ
server reporter learned Tuesday that
word had been received from Mr..
II. P. Lowe, who has charge of the
property, that he had succeeded in
organizing strong company and that
the early operation of the mine
is positively assured. 1t is reported
that Mr.. Sherman Harris has received
orders to at once put the property
in shape for immediate resumption,
and that the work of unwatering will
begin in few days. The Topeka
production record has few equals in
the history of the camp. Large are
bodies are exposed in every level.
An unfortunate legal tangle of un-
usual duration and complication caus-
ed the mine to shut down some years
ago. There is no question as to the
value of the property or the volume
of production that can be maintained.
1t has always paid large dividends
when operated. 1t has the most COM
plete and up-to-date equipment of any
mine in Gilpin county and furnished
steady employment to over 100 men
during the years of its operation. If
operated to its full capacity it can
employ every man now idle in the
Russell district.
