in spots. 1T las not dried quickly, and
in the meantime tradesmen, letter-car-

onto porches and into westibules of the
fine homes.
"Of course" said DIR. George N,
Waite, of .567 High street, today, 1.-THE
condition of the street is o just what
we desire. but if the people will just
give the roadway a. chance to dry all
will be well. You see. the rain came
after theSroad was dressed, and the tan
and oil has not had an opportunity to
thoroughly dry In. 1 favor the oiled
roadway, and while the street looks
bad now, it will soc redeem itself"
DR.. Otto Lowy, of $40 High street

Well he said. II have had a new

TRENTON. Aug. 25.-When Attor-
ney-General Edmund Wilson arrived
at the State House today he was be-
sieged with questionsl to his next
move in the Atlantic City situation.
He said that he was. powerless to make
any other move If the Atlantic County
Grand Jury failed TO indict the per-
law-breaking.
Mr.. Wilson pointed out that the law
under which the notification was is
sued provides that if at the end of
ten days the officer upon whom the
notice was served has re, Used to obey
it, he is liable for a misdefneanor.
The encouragement said that
therefore the next step of the reform
ers, if Mayor Stoy refused to proceed
against the Sunday liquor dealers
would be to move to have the Mayor
indicted and brought to trial.
Mr.. Wilson further said that the min
listers, representing the law and order
societies. presented a detailed affidavit
setting forth the violation 81 the Sun.
cay liquor law at many places in At
lantic City. Thereupon it became his
duty, under the law, to issue the order
which was served upon Mayor Stoy.
But that was as far as the law de-
yolved any duty in the matter upon the
States legal department.
Mr.. Wilson continued that the law
provides that when officially notified,
as in this case, the officer so notified is
to proceed against the alleged law
breakers merely upon information and
belief" That is, the notice from the
encouragement is all the ground re-
CURED upon which to act.

peaceful end in the passing Of Charles
Skeels at the home of his son, AL
fred Skeels, in this city, Sunday eve
ming. Living six years beyond the
three score and ten allotted to hu-
man existence. he closed life crowd
ed with fruitful endeavor and crown
ed with more than ordinary achieve
ment. Mr.. Skeels first saw the
light of day in the classic little city
of Huntingtonshire, England. Cross
ing the sea in 1871, he located in
New York City where he became en-
gagged in manufacturing enterprises.
Two years ago after long and profit
able career in his chosen field he
came to Colorado to enjoy a well
earned rest at the home Of his son
in this city. Married in 1868 several
children came to bless his life but
only two remain to mourn his death.
The funeral was held Monday after
noon from the Skeels residence. The
services were simple but impressive
and called forth many expressions OF
grief and regret from those who
knew him best.

ELECTRIC ROAD
C. G. s. TO ELEcTRIFY CLEAR
CREEK AND GILPIN BRANCHES
-NINETY MINUTE SERVICE
PROMISED.

Tnat large things have started to
come our way was emphasized to an
unlocked for extent by the latest an
nouncement from the headquarters of
the Hill interests in Colorado. The
project which has not only been pro-
nounced feasible but certain of full
fillment is the complete transforma-
tion from steam to electricity as mo-
tive power on the Clear Creek and
Gilpin branches of the Colorado G.
Southern railroad.
For some years Gilpin residents
have harbored some resentment on
account of the exploitation of the
loop trip to the disparagement and
exclusion of the greater attractions of
this section. But if as stated in the
announcement, the glories of the loop
have induced the officials of the c.
& S. to make change from No. IL
to something that will at least make
an OK cart seem slow in comparison,
all will be gladly and freely forgiven.
The service promised will greatly
stimulate mining industry as well as
increase the passenger traffic. With
the powerful electric locomotives now
in vogue, ore can be shipped to a
better advantage than by the slow
and poorly equipped freight trains
that now pursue their snail-like pace
to the smelters at Argo. Placed so
constantly in touch with things met
ropolitan, the feeling of isolation
now experienced by many will be
dissipated and the county become a
more desirable place of residence
than heretofore. Some are inclined to
believe that our mercantile interests
will suffer with easy access to city
markets, but this has proved a mis-
take. In the trolley girded counties
Of Ohio and other eastern states It
has been thoroughly demonstrated
that greater facilities of transpor,a-
, tion serve as distinct stimulus to
all lines of mercantile activity in the
smaller places. The more opportuni-
ties afforded people to compare the
prices Of city competitors with the
purveyors at home the more quickly
the fallacy Of great saving by foreign
purchasing is exploded. Again rapid
and easy transit means great in
flux of visitors who are bound to
leave some cash in the tills of the
| local merchants. Altogether new life
will be infused. greater intellectual
and social advantages enjoyed, great
er facilities for our industrial enter.

move on the part Of the enterprising
management of the Colorado &

From the Golden Globe.

Messrs. Kulow and Hunt are get
ting most satisfactory results in their
experiments with Golden clays. The
old Geisbeck Pottery plant is begin.
ming to take on live aspect and the
machinery is being put in motion.
AS soon as the plant is in running
order much Of the machinery and ap-
pliances will be replaced by the lat.
est designs and it is hoped that this
will be a strictly modern plant In
every detail and the ware will be of
the very best kind. Nearly all the
material for the manufacture of fine
white ware is to be found near Col.
den, SO that it will be necessary to
import but small per cent Of the
material to be used at this plant. The
sagers and moulds are all made and
the actual making OF ware has begun
and as soon as one kiln is filled, the
first lot will be burned.
The mountain papers publish in de-
tail the certain information that the
Golden smelter is to be reopened In
the near future. While we earnestly
hope and wish that this report Is
true. yet bird whispers in our ear
maybe. This smelter has been re-
ported as opening shortly" so many
times, and newspapers have in bold
, face type heralded that alleged fact.
and nothing came of it. that we have
filed the matter in the pigeon hole
that holds "the letter that never
came" II Denver can prevent this
smelter reopening or any other good
thing for Golden. then we may we'll
lose all faith in such reports. The
Globe has no head lines to waste this
week over this report. We have lied
(under n mistake) so many times
about this thing that we propose &c

BIG DEAL PENDING

AS crowning to week crowded
with great events, The Observer Of
fers the announcement of a deal now
pending which promises to overshad-
ow any recent transaction in the min
ing world. The Great Bonanza Min
ing and Milling Co. are about to ac-
quire all title, rights and privileges
in the German, Bates and Hunter Kit
ty, Moselle, Saxon and other proper
ties on Bob-tail hill adjoining the
Next President. When it is consid-
cred that the Bates-Hunter alone has
produced over million of dollars the
the magnitude Of the deal becomes
a mathematical problem which only
the largest figures can possibly solve.
1t is proposed to work the whole
group through the shaft of the Next
President. This shaft has been re-
Gently rebuilt along modern lines and
no difficulty is anticipated in making
connection with the other properties
of the group.
For some months those interested
have thought from indications en-
countered that large and profitable
ore bodies would be exposed as de-
velopment and depth were attained.
Sixty days run, with 10 stamps upon
ore from wines strengthened pro-
mise into conviction and encouraged
the company to aquire new ground
and generally strengthen its holdings
in that promising territory. An in
crease from nine dollar ore to min
eral values ranging from fifteen to
thirty-five dollars per ton in one
hundred feet of sinking afford good
grounds for optimistic prediction and
it is the purpose of this company to
follow every promising lead. Bobtail
hill is the best known mining
locality in the state. To many homes
all over this broad land of ours
dividend from its great producers has
found its way. Famous in the story
of the early days it has become al
most synonymous with success in the
vocabulary of mining endeavor
Princely fortunes have rewarded near
1y every persistent effort to uncover
its hidden gems. The larger brains
are by no means convinced that its
idayGs- of production are over. In fact
the well informed declare that COM
paratively speaking lit has hardly
been scratched" II is almost cer-
tain that this deal will be closed and
if pushed to consumation it will sure
ly rank as one of the greatest
achievements of mining history. Prin-
cipals and managers have practically
agreed as to the terms and proce-
dure but a few stockholders in Eng
land remain to be consulted. 1t is
not thought that they will interpose
any serious objection to the propos-
ed consolidation.

Progress OF War Dance Litigation

With the decision OF Judge Mccall
last Friday on certain points of law
in the celebrated War Dance case
the way was cleared for an early
trial and settlement of all controversy
in regard to the famous mine. The
hearing which took place at Golden
was upon the plaintiffs motion to
strike out certain portions of the
points involved. Judge Mccall denied
the motion and ordered the plaintiffs
to file an amended complaint within
10 days so that the case would be
ready for trial at the June term of
court. While no settlement of the
case is yet in sight the hearing at
Golden has cleared the atmosphere
somewhat and given both sides the
opportunity for clearing their decks
for decisive and final action. Judge
Matthews represented the lesses and
expresses himself as well satisfied
with the situation so far as his
clients have won in all the prelimin-
airy skirmishes and are confident OF
ultimate victory.
