Get Juice To-Morrow.

On tomorrow the United Hydro Elec-
tric power company will turn on the
electric juice from their own plant into
the modernly equipped and magnificent
ly built transformer plant at the foot of
fifteenth avenue. No legitimate expense
has beeu withheld to make this just
such plant as is pride to this city.
The company mas a large water plant
at Georgetown with ample capacity to
meet the requirements except when the
water is low. To meet all conditions it
has connections with the Central Colo
RADIO power company, the lines of which
in their extension from Shoshone Falls,
Colorado, to Denver passes just south of
this city. The United Hydro company
distributes electricity in Clear Creek
and Gilpin counties to the mines and
mills thereof as well as furnishing lights
for the towns within the borders of the
two counties. The station here is one
of the largest and most conveniently
constructed and equipped in the state.
The work has been done largely under

Entertain Many Visitors.

A party from Nebraska and Kansas,
numbering twelve, arrived here Sun
day afternoon on their return trip
Baird and wife, of Superior, A G.
King, of McCook, DIR. G. r. Woods, of
Edgar, c. E. Dedrick, DR.. j. Enos
Wait and w. L. Wilson, of Superior:
w. L. Mari. of Hildreth, and all Of
Nebraska; W l.. Nc arty and wife,
Concordia, II. l. Wait, of Centralia, 7.
E. Bateman, Concordia, and L. F.
Maneval, Centralia, all of Kansas. Mr..
Dedrick is newspaper man as is also
H. l.. Wait. Some of the party re-
manned here until Wednesday after
noon while others left in the morning
and on Tuesday afternoon. The object
of this visit was to look over the prop
critics of the General Consolidated
Mines company in which some of them
are now interested, and in which others
are contemplating becoming interested.
That they were more than pleased with
the representations made by the officials
of the company is emphasized by their
many expressions of satisfaction over
what they saw and as one stated, you
have several properties any one of
which is worth the entire capitalization
On Monday they were driven to the
Bruce and went into the Perkins tun-
mel which has cut the Bruce and
through which it will be worked. AL
ready the fOuI air has been taken out
and survey made. The Bruce where
1T is cut by the tunnel has mineraliz-
ed width of about ten feet. In the af-
ternoon the party visited the Bronaber
on Clear creek opposite the Josephine
group and on a line with the Shafter,
while on Tuesday they spent the day
at the Chicago Belle group and visiting
points of interest in the Fall river coun-
try. In making this investigation of
the company's holdings and its manage
ment, both mine and office, the MEM
bers of the party exercised that prudent
judgment, which if adopted by invest
ors in general would soon eliminate wild
cat mining as in such cases they can
see for themselves and not be misled
by catchy literature and promises i'm
possible of fulfillment. In the case of
this company the conditions far exceed
what is stated in the literature sent out
and is therefor impressive to the invest
or or the probable investor. They were
all thoroughly satisfied with their in

Work on the new hot tunnel bath
house is progressing in business like

to hasten its completion. The basement

thing around of the most pleasant char
acter for his patrons and when opera
tions begin there will be such conven-
fences and accommodating appointments
as will make these baths the attraction
of the state In the mean time the
manager is doing the best possible to
take care of those who come here for
treatment, through the tub baths and
the tunnel of the upper pool, by giving
them the closest and most efficient care.

Sunday Baseball.

On Sunday, June Goth, the Pikers will
play the News Times team of Denver
on the local grounds and as the visiting
team is the same one that gave the
Pikers such hard game last season,
rattling good game is anticipated for
next Sunday.
On Sunday, June 9th, the home team
will have as contestants on the local
grounds the ball team representing
Pontiac Tribe No. %, | O. R. NJ. The
teams in Denver and have not lost
game this season and are so confident
of beating the Pikers that they have
arranged for big bunch" of rooters,
composed of their lodge members, to
accompany the team and assist in car
rying home the scalps of the Pikers. 1t
is promised that not less than fifty I'm
dams will come from Denver on that
day, but the manager of the home team
insists that they will be sent back home
a sadder but wiser "bunch," convinced
that it will take stronger team than
the "Indians" can furnish to take the
Pikers scalps.
The management is figuring on two
games here, one on the 4th and one on
the 5th of July with strong Denver
team, but as yet cannot divulge the
name of the team as negotiations have
not yet been closed.

Pikers ore Peerless.

In we'll played contest in which the
work of the opposing batteries was the
criterion of supremacy the Pikers of
Idaho Springs dominated over the ag-
gregation from Silver Plume last Sun
day afternoon at the local ball pa k.
Score, to 2.
The Pikers obtained their victory
thus: in the fourth Lambert walked,
advancing on Barrels single and taking
advantage of errors made by Chapel
and job, both runners crossed the plate.
Richards opened up the fifth by draw
ing base on balls, moving up another
station on pretty sacrifice by Shaw
hans and scoring on Menzimer's hit.
cooper found safe spot in the right
garden and Ducky added one more to
the list. This wound up the run get
ting for the Pikers. One each of Sill
yer Plume's runs were made in the sew
enth and ninth innings.
The bulk of the battle rested with
the pitchers. Mitchell pitched in good
form and on comparison with his oppo-
nent's record is considered to have a
shade the best of it. He allowed two
bases on balls and kept the five hits
procured from his delivery so scattered
that their effect was lessened toa great
degree. Ivey, the Plume sab artist,
had fine collection of shoots and curves
at his disposal and controlled his speed
in mastery manner. He was touched
up for nine base hits and two two-bag-
ers and walked three men. This pit
cher worked consistently, despite ad
verse circumstances and with better
support would have held down the
final score considerably.

To Electrify c. a S. Ry.

| Some two years ago the Siftings pub
| lished an article to the effect that when
the Boulder lines were electrified, the
same work would begin on the Clear
Greek division. This statement was
made after an extended interview with
an official of the Colorado and South
ern railroad. Since then the ownership
of the C. & S. railroad has passed into
the hands of the Burlington or the Hill
system. A few weeks ago represen-
tative of this paper had an interview
with one of the prominent officials of
the Burlington and an old time friend,
in which the latter stated, that the
people of your section will have no
cause to regret the obtaining of posses
sion of the Colorado and Southern rail-
road by the Burlington. Our atten-
tion will be given for the present to the
connecting up of the Gulf division and
putting in order for a trunk line con-
nection from Canada to the gulf after
which attention will be given to the
mountain branch lines" Recent con-
ditions and actions have proven the
correctness of this news thus given to
our representative. Inspection has al
ready been started on these mountain
lines with the end in view of electrify-
ing them and a special representative
of James j. Hill has been commissioned
to make this investigation and has
already done SO in part. With the
large amount of water power available
in the mountain streams for generating
electricity cheaply and the ease and
feasibility with which dams can be con-
structed, as compared with other sec
tions, there seems no reason why these
lines should not be operated by electric
juice, as it would be cheaper, freer
from the nuisance of dust and cinders
and at the same time more cars could
run between points than under the
present system. Increase of service,
decrease OF running time and lower
rates would see wonderful increase in
passenger travel. 1t is safe to predict
that within the next two years we will
be riding to Denver in electric cars and
in much shorter time. These condit-
ions will be most gladly welcomed.

A Trip to the Clouds.

"A special car Attached TO tne morning
express passed through the city on
Friday on its way over the Argentine
Central railroad. A jolly party of rail
road men, newspaper men and promi-
nent citizens occupied it, the names of
many of them given below. On their
return they were crammed and jammed
full OF enthusiasm over the trip to the
summit of Mt. McClelland. 1T is
grand beyond description" said the gen.
ial Richard Broad of Golden. "You
can't describe the magnificence of the
scenery, 1t is wonderful, enhancing,
exhilerating, exclaimed W. H. Ma
lone, Coy Shaffroth's private secretary.
"An appreciative resident of Colorado
should not miss this trip. 1t is great.
1t is the subimity of grandeur" shouted
Walter Juan Davis of the Denver Post
as the train pulled out of Idaho Springs
and down the valley And then there
was Ingram of the Rocky Mountain
News, just as happy as kid with his
first pair of red top boots: "Have not
had time to do anything but admire,
! laugh and enjoy myself since we start
ed from Denver. The Argentine trip
is going to be the best in the state.
You can't beat it; you can't tie it."
/ d. w. Brown, manager OF the Rock
Mountain Fuel company, was one of
1 the most jealous admirers of the ride
to the snow capped peaks of the Cont
mental Divide. Standing on the sum-
nit of Mt. Mcclellan on such perfect
day, it seemed as if one could reach out
and touch the portal of heaven and hear
the whisperings of the angels within.
The view furnishes the paradise of per-
fection This ride is the great coming
attraction of Colorado and adjoining
states

1t is simply immense. And with such
happy thoughts revolving in his mind,
the president of the Chamber of Com

liant style and pleasant manner by Cen

ident of the Argentine Central joined
