Tucker Mill Started.

Tuesday of this week the Tucker
mi1i in Chase gulch was started up
on ore from the Anchor mine in
Russell Gulch. This mill was re-
Gently purchased by the Hearne Gold
& Copper company, operating the
Anchor, and will be kept in steady
operation on the Tucker dirt. 1t has
been refitted and thoroughly over
hauled. The equipment of the plant
is modern in every respect, being
with jigs, stamps, Whitley tables and
the Wild system of regrinding. It
mas a capacity of Go tons a day
and can handle the present output
of the Anchor mine $50 tons daily
with ease. The Anchor ores carry
heavy lead and silver values and
much of this is shipped to the smell
ter. Only such of this oae that
can be concentrated will be hand
led by the mill, which is adapted
to the particular kind of ore found
in the Anchor.

Expect to Cut Mother Vein

Col. L. D. Bloom, vice-president and
manager of the Bald Mountain Gold
NJ. & NJ. company. operating a tun-
mel proposition in Little York gulch,
informs the Observer that he ex-
poets to cut large vein of ore
and the breast of the tunnel is now
within eight feet of the streak. Col
Bloom feels confident that the vein
will carry good values and will be
wide and permanent. When the
creveice ic struck 200 feet will be
driven on the streak.
All work during the past winter
has been devoted to the driving
of the tunnel, which is now in 245
feet. Some fair grade ore has been
encountered but no shipments have
been made. These will commence
in the spring and continued The
holdings of the Bald Mountain COM
pany in Little York gulch are quite
extensive, there being a group of IS

NEXT PRESIDENT

| Operations are to be commenced ir
earnest on the Next President group of
claims, owned by the Great Bonanza
Gold Mining company, composed of
English capitalists. Mr.. Cecil Morgan,
who succeeds G. H. Ellis Smith as
manager, arrived Monday from Lon
don and is now having the shaft of the
Next President put in shape so that
work can be commenced.
The decision of the company to be-
gin active operation of the property
comes as result of visit recently made
to the mines by w. B. Bishop, a prom
inent mining engineer of England, who
made thorough examination of the
workings. Mr.. Bishops report to the
English company was a very favorable
one. He told that he found large
quantities of ore in sight ready to be
broken. During his stay in the county
MIR. Bishop also looked into the treat
ment phase of the proposition and de-
cided that the Eagle mill, which is now
in control of the Bonanza people, could
be equipped with certain system that
would insure a great saving of values
in the Next President ores. This mill
is now in the hands of a competent
mill man who came up from Denver
this morning and is to be put in shape
for remodelling.
Mr.. Morgan, the new manager, has
received very complimentary no.
tices in the Denver papers this past
week and in English journals he is
spoken of as man without a peer in
the knowledge of mining The gentle
man is an old time mining man and
about 20 years ago was well known in
this district. He was connected with
properties here and in Georg stown that
made money for the operators and gave
him name as manager of exception
al ability. At one time Mr.. Morgan
was mine inspector of this state and
with the wide experience he received
while mining in foreign countries it
can at once be understood why he has
such splendid endorsements. The op-
erations to be followed by the Bonanza
people will mean much to Gilpin county
as the company is one of the strongest
financially that has ever entered this
section.

Has Miraculous Escape.

Not one man in thousand could sur
vive the experience of Ronald McDon-
aid who fell down the shaft of the
Great Mammoth mine Saturday a dis
tance of 80 feet and escaped with few
slight bruises. McD nald and Joe
Flynn have a lease on the property
mentioned above and were going deep
er down to work. At one of the levels
a trap door which was seldom raised
was reopened to admit a rope so that
the two could determine if it was long
enough to lower the bucket to the bot
tom of the shaft. After opening the
door they neglected to close it and came
to the surface. Mcdonald had left his
sweater down in the drift and went
down to get it. At the level, not think
ing the door was open, he stepped
into the shaft. He fell down the shaft
head first and hit in the bucket, which
was suspended at point four feet from
the fiat. The elasticity of the rope
broke the fall and the pin in the wind
lass standard broke, letting the bucket
drop the four feet. Had it been at the
bottom of the shaft and nothing to in
tercept the fall Mcdonald undoubtedly
would have been killed or fearfully
manned. AS it was no bones were frac-
tured and the only injury he sustained
was broken ear drum. He is getting
along nicely and will be out in few
days.

bathroom of the McGinnis home in
Denver on the 25th of October last, ac-
cording to the Denver papers, has
brought suit in the district court against
the Denver Gas & Electric company
for $1,000. Mrs. McGinnis alleges that
the death of her daughter was caused
from asphyxiation induced by escaping
gas in defective pipes for which she
claims the negligence of the company
was responsible. Since the death of

Someone has figured 1t out that
the '9s in American history have been
characterized by prosperity. The
panic of 81 was succeeded by the
boom of '39. In 49 gold was found
in California. Pixies Peak was dis
covered in SO and the mines of Colo
RADIO opened. In SO the reconstruction
set in, and the prosperity that follow
ed has never been equaled. In 10
came another readjustment Of indus
trial conditions. particularly in the
South, and great prosperity followed.
In 'S9 came the boom that collapsed
in '93. In 80 the opening up Of the
Klondike and the revival of trade
after the Spanish war brought anothe
boom. From every indication 1t now
looks as though '09 would do It's
part in verifying the tradition that
history repeats itself.-Mining World.

The local paper should be found
in every home. No children should
grow up ignorant who can be taught
to appreciate the home paper. 1t is
said to be the stepping stone of in
telligence in all those matters not
TO be found in books. Give your chill
dren foreign paper which contains
not a word about any person, place
or thing, which they never saw or
perhaps heard of, and how could you
expect them to be interested? But
let them have the home paper and
read of people whom they meet
and of places of which they are ia
miliar and soon an interest is awak-
ened which increases with every ar
rival of the local paper. Thus a
habit of reading is formed and those
children will read the papers all their
lives and become intelligent men
and women, credit to their ancest-
ors, strong in knowledge of the world

David Garrick and Spranger Barry
were both playing Romeo at the same
time in London. Barry played it at
Drury Lane on the Monday, and Gar
rick played 1t the next night at Covent
Garden, and the town was divided as
to which was the greater Romeo-in
fact, there was quite a great excite.
ment about Ii, and they acted it upon
such different lines and with such mar
velously different conceptions that the
people argued the case as to which
Shakespeare intended. The fact is that
Shakespeare intended It to be acted
WELL and If one mans temperament
suited 1t best to act In that way 1t
would do for another temperament the
other way.
SO they asked Mrs. Siddons, who was
the Juliet alternately with the same
Romeo. which she considered better OF
the two, and she said
sit is difficult to say. They are both
wonderfully great, but I will tell you
how they impress me I'm the balcony

seems so eager. so intense and so full
