tton. For several weeks he had been
confined to his bed with complication
OF diseases and to such an extent as to
cause much uneasiness on the part of
his family and friends. On arriving at
the hospital it was found that his con-
stitution was so run down that an oper-
aton meant death while on the table
and hence it was not performed.
His demise occurred about eight
O'Clock Thursday night. A post NOR

that showed an abscess in the liver
and in the right lung. The latter was
practically gone with the exception of
small portion of the upper part.

Some time ago the Siftings- News
had an extended write up in reference
70 the consolidation of many important
mining interests through the agency
and efforts Of the H. A. Riedsl Invest
nent company of Denver, the organ
ixer of the North American Mines
and Smelling company. Included in
this deal was the old Kilton sampler
# this city and the deed was placed on
reeord at the county clerks office this
week transferring this property to the
Riedel Investment Co. Hence the clack-
40 OF the kicker who said it was
another scheme" is silenced. The
Reidel Investment company is COM
posed of men who do things and W hen
they permit the announcement to go
forth that they are going to make GER
tain developments or enlargements,
the public may rest assured that they
are going to accomplish what they pro-
pose. Their plans not only include the
Kilton plant but also the Carpenter
smeltsr at Golden together with a
large increase in claims to their al
ready large and valuable holdings.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Moonan were
entertained at dinner last Saturday
evening by Mr.. and Mrs. Gilcrest at
their hospitable home in Dumont.
The decorations in honor of the
guests were purple and white and
We're most tastily arranged. Those
present were Mrs. Norton and Miss
MCGUIRE of Chicago, ILL.,, Miss Mae
Goggin of Sacramento, California,
Miss Mcnamara, and Messrs. Doyle
and Miller of Denver; Mr. and Mrs.
Moonan and Mr. and Mrs. Gilcrest.
Very appropriate toasts were given
to the bride and groom and they were
most pleasantly appreciated. Another
important and interesting feature of
this reception was the announcement
of the engagement of Miss Mcclure
and Mr.. Miller by Mrs. Gilcrest. The
evening was very agreeably and joy
ously spent and when Mr.. and Mrs.
Moonan took their departure for
Idaho Springs they did so feeling
that another beautiful token of hon

their welded life.
