Paratively a new property, has made
a remarkable production. The mine
is only down about 300 feet and
shows good pay ore in several parts.
Smock & company, a pool COM
posed of Central parties, have taken
lease and bond on the Independence
and Ready Cash lodes, west of the
Eureka. McFarlane & Sons are to put
up plant of machinery this week.
The old Parsons saloon building in
Mountain City has been procured and
this will be torn down, the lumber to
be used in the erection of a shaft
house. AS soon as the machinery is
placed and the building finished the
property will be relieved Of wate-.

Mining Epitome.

T. B. Bassett went to Denver the
latter part of the week to purchase
a compressor for the Baker mine,
which he is working through the La
Crosse tunnel in Nevada gulch.
A cleanup from a weeks run at the
Fifty mill gave another retort this
week of 100 ounces, worth around
s1S00.O0.
Dalzatti & company made ship
ment Of smelling ore to the samp-
Ter this week, which gave them re-
turns Of $500 to the ton. The ore
came from the 555 west level of the
East Nottaway, where the pool has
lease.
Wcrk o. unwatering the Topeka has
been finished and the shifts have
been reduced to two. Work is now
confined to cleaning ouc the levels
and getting the mine in shape for
production. A new sheet iron roof has
been placed on the shaft house and
the building has been given a coat of
paint.
party of Russell miners are pick
ing the Wautauga dump. When this
mine was being sunk 10 or ~ years
ago iron was taken out worth s4OO. 90
to the ton. The dump pickers think
some of this ore was discarded as
waste.

Must Read Local Paper.

In one of our small western towns
there are a lot Of pretty and clever
girls banded together under the name
Of the Marrigaeable Ladies' league
who are perfectly aware, says
Dorothy Dix in the New York Even
ing Journal, that it takes a great
many desirable qualifications to make
man an agreeable husband and the
chief OF these is intelligence. Hence,
at the meeting Of the league last
week, the following resolution was
passed by unanimous vote:
"Bs it resolved, That we, the mem.
bers Of the Marriageable, Ladies'
league. do hereby agree not to marry
any man who is not a patron of h.3

dence OF his want OF intelligence, and
that he will be too s:ingy to provide
for a family. or educate his children,
or support institutions of learning

Manuel Should Have a Medal.

Passengers en- last Friday morn
ing's outgoing train had miraculous
escape from being plunged to death
through a cavein Of the Kip bridge

minutes before the passenger train

TUNNEL DRIVING

Geo. Collins, acting in an advisory
caracity for the Argo M. T. G D..
company, driving the Newhouse tun.
nel on his weekly visit from Idaho
Springs yesterday informed the OBJ
server that the distance driven
during the month OF September was
274 feet. This is not as good a show
ing as made the previous month but
this was hardly to be expected as
during the month of August world
record in tunnel driving under sim
lila: conditions was established. Ir-
regular power retarded the work.
There were six shifts when the alb
serce Of power made it necessary
TO suspend work. Then, too, the
ground in the territory passed Through
was very hard and tight and this has
not yet been penetrated. Monday in
two shifts 140 drills were dulled and
90 were broken. This will give a good
idea of the hard formation OF the
rock as the drills broken were the
thickest of the machine variety.
Mr.. Collins said the tunnel had
just crossed Nevada gulch and that
if nothing interferred with the work
the breast Of the bore would be at
the Gunnell vein within the next six
months. This is pleasing news as the
advent Of the tunnel in the vicinity
of the Gunnell will mark the re-
sumption of operations on this
famous property. The >Gunnell h s
been equipped and ready for work
the last three or four years and when
drained by the tunnel Gilpin county
will again see one Of its biggest and
best properties outputting thousands

SELL GOOD LEASE

F. Crosby and associates of Kansas
City have purchased the lease and
bond held by Harvey Carl and Rich
ard Broderick on the Little Pittsburg
on the Patch. The deal was closed
this week. The first work to be done
by the new possessors will be to
run spur to the mine from the tram
track and then put on machinery
and start sinking. While the top i'm
provements are being made ore htat
is in sight will be mined and shipped.
The shaft on the Little Pittsbure
is down only 10 feet. Carl and Brod-
erick have held their lease about
year and half and in this short
period of time have taken out sew
eral thousand dollars. There is a good
streak in the shaft and this has pro-
duced pay ore from the surface.
Some ore of a very high grade is to
be found in the mine and assays run.
ming to $4,000 per ton have been
made.
Carl and Broderick have been ship
ping all their ore to the mills but
Thos. Cudahy, who will have charge
OF the property for Crosby and his
associates, will sort the product and
make smelter shipments. Some of
the ore is of the bernite variety and
shines readily and when treated at
the mills a goodly portion of the
values is lost for this reason.
The Little Pittsburg is destined to
become an immense proposition. It
is located in the richest part of the
county and is surrounded by the
Roderick Dhu, San Juan, Climax and
Illinois, group that has produced
millions. Operations under Mr.. Cud.
ahy's practical management will be
economically conducted, he holding
to the belief that in mining the same
as in any other branch of endeavor,
"a dollar saved is dollar earned"

Unexpected Death.

Sadie. the beloved wife of Cecil
c. Morgan. died Monday evening at
about 10 o'clock at her apartments
In the Teller house Of uraem:c
poisoning. Death came as a distinct
shock to the husband and friends as
ner demise was very unexpected
Mrs. Morgan had been sick only since
Sunday morning, but was unconscious
from the time she was stricken until
the time of her death. With her at
the time she breathed her las. were
her husband and the nurse. Death
apparently was without pain.
The body was prepared for ship
ment to Omaha, Nebr., and left yes
terday, accompanied by Mr.. Morgan.
He VS. joined at Denver by w. ].
Chamberlain and Mr.. and Mrs. w. N.
Babcock, the latter being a sister of
the deceased. The remains will be
laid to rest in a private mausoleum
in Omaha, where a sister and niece
are inferred. Besides Mrs. Babcock
sister, Mrs. Albert Morgan, resid-
ing in Los Angeles, survives.
Mrs. Sadie Morgan was born in the
good old southern state of Virginia
and was married to Mr.. Morgan 36
years ago. Had death spared her for
another week, the couple would have
celebrated their wedding anniversary.
She had lived here at various times
during the past thirty years when
Mr.. Morgan would be managing
mines. Like most women of southern
birth she was highly cultured and re.
fined and since her marriage had
travelled extensively. She was a most
lovable woman in every respect.
Mr.. Morgan has the sympathy of
many friends in Gilpin county,
throughout the country and in Europe.
As soon as the death of his wife be-
came known kilograms of coincidence
were received in numbers and cable
grams from Mr.. Morgan's old home
in England brought expressions of sor-
row.

Sundays Sermon to Women.

During his revivals in Boulder last

er and evangelist preached one OF
his strong. clear cut and right to the

thee. is it well with thy husband. is it
well with thy child?" was the text.
