Boiler for Evergreen Mill.

Stroehle & Son Sunday delivered
to the Evergreen company in Pine
creek an so h. p. boiler. This boiler
will be installed at the mill, which
is to resume operations within a
week or ten days. The new mill
was started year ago and the
steam for the engine was piped from
the boiler in the shaft house, which
was very expensive arrangement
Some adjustments are to be made at
thea'nill and it is thought that when
it is strated this time better results
will be obtained. Last year the mill
didn't give the satisfaction expected,
but this was not due to the equip

the most modern mills in the district
Poor management prevented the sue

the program therefore was more brief
than usual. DR.. Parsons, of Colorado
College, delivered an address in
which he covered the essentials of
an education and impressed upon the
/ graduates and his auditors that an
education should not be sought
wholly for the financial returns it
will bring; that the main purpose in
learning is to make better citizens.
He spoke half an hour and held the
closest attention of all.
Professor Momyer in a short ad-
dress presented the class to County
Superintendent Frances Mayhem, who
in few words expressed the appre-
citation OF the friends and patrons of
the school and the Union High school
committee for the good work that the
class had done and then presented
the graduates with their diplomas.
Professor Green announced the hon.

An Unprecedented Find.

Prof. Childress, who has been en-
gagged in gulch mining for a number
of weeks near the Avon mill, has per-
haps made the record find in all the
history of placer mining in the state.
Last Friday morning while excavat-
ing from bank of yellow tailings he
observed a silver CLEAN through the
mass and few strokes of the pick
brought to light a solid chunk of
amalgam measuring about twenty-sev
en- inches in circumference and weigh
ing but little less than thirty-one
ounces. The value of the find is es-
timated at two hundred and seventy
five dollars. Whether it was careless
ly dumped out from the mill or each
ed by some early day bandits is yet
to be determined. Prof. Childress had
thought of making the first payment
on beautiful Arvada fruit ranch
with the proceeds when he was rude
ly awakened by pounding at his
bedroom door and his partner, Her
man Paul coldly informed him that
the joint results of their last twenty
days labor had yielded the munific-
ent sum Of seven dollars and forty
cents. Childress will refrain from
sleeping upon his back hereafter.

LIVE MINING NOTES

The Hawley--Gardner mine on
Quartz hill was started this week by
eastern people with William Dicker.
son in charge of the underground
work. This announcement of resump-
ton of operations at this mine has
awakened great interest among min
ing men as it means that the rehabi-
litation of the grea. est mining district
the state has ever known has begun.
With the Clark Gardner adjoining
about to start and the Phoenix group
showing signs Of life much encour-
agement is given for the develop
ment Of all the properties in this
section. The prediction is freely made
that no mines on the east side of
the hill will be idle sixty days from
the present time. The Gibson has
already met with indications which
promise big yeild Of mineral wealth
and everything points to a most sue.
cessful year in this famous section
Of the county.
The Barker mine which resumed
operations the first of the week
seems to be in competent hands and
only up-to-date methods will be used
to develop this property. An improv.
ed hoist Of the latest pattern will
be installed and machines used for
drilling purposes. New ground will
be broken as rapidly as possible and
If tho nrnrpicod h1
comes a certainty a mill will be
erected in the gulch just below the
mine.
Announcement is positively made
that the Hidden Treasure mine which
in the early days almost equaled the
present production of the Denver
mint will resume operations about
the first of September. This mine
when worked to its full capacity Is
capable Of giving employment to over
one hundred men. The California the
deepest mine in the county Is also
scheduled to start as soon as con-
lection with the Newhouse tunnel ia
completed. The reopening of these
two properties alone will furnish en-
ployment to every idle man in this
section as we'll as pave the way for
the return of all the miners who
were forced to leave the camp when
the mines decided to suspend opera
tions until the water problem was
solved by the Newhouse extension.
The Ivanho, Gilpin county's great.
est lead producer which in common
with all the larger properties was
shut down a few years ago on &C.
count of the problem Of handling the
water will resume operations early in
September according to a report that
reached this city Wednesday. The
property has been well taken care of
by its owners, a watchman being con.

ever, as the Sun and Moon plant
was started up and power supplied
through the Gem shaft.
The ore body opened in the Sara

lateral is said to be as great as any
ever disclosed in the extensive upper
workings. Considerable difficulty is
had from the great quantity of water
