Beat the Record

Through the courtesy of J. ]. Willis,
superintendent of the Central tunnel of
the Big Five company, the readers of
this paper are presented with monthly
tabulation showing the amount of rain
fall and snow for the year ending Aug.
81, 1909. During this time there fell
9s. so inches, or eight feet two and one
half inches of snow. MIR. Willis keeps
an exact record of these items and
hence these figures are absolutely reli-
sble. The first snowfall was on the
twenty-sixth day of September. 1908,
when four inches fell; the last snowfall
was on the thirtieth day of April, 1909.
During this latter month 20.50 inches
fell, while October, 1908, held the sec
ond place with IS. rs inches.

PercontaRe High

Idaho Springs furnishes its full quota
of students for higher educational insti
tutions. 1t is questionable whether
any other High school in the state fur
nshes as high a per cent. as the school
of this city. This is particularly the
case in reference to the class of '09,
where the proportion of the graduates
who will attend such other institutions
is very prominent. Miss Florence
Jaynes will study music in the University
of Denver: Miss Carrie Burger will
enter Colorado college; Margaret Lynn
will attend the State Normal school at
Greeley; Frank Downes will go to
Golden to study mining engineering,
while Robert McClelland, Paul Roberts,
Rose Ganson and Una Ball will become
students in the University of Colorado,
at Boulder.

Alice Correspondence.

Your correspondent has been rus
again with the pick and shovel This
camp has got a fever on that Will
not down. New locations are being
made daily and good strikes are the
result of honest toll and everybody is
busy. At the elevation of eleven thou
sand feet lots of snow still remains
in the deep gulches and glacier which
will not melt this year We also
have an abundance of rain. MIR. Don
has opened up a thirty-two inch vein
with an eight-inch pay streak carry
ing copper and galena values. He
has driven his tunnel in a distance
of four hundred feet on this vein.
He is pushing work ahead with two
men. The Camp Bird is showing
fine streak that runs 500 per ton.
mostly gold values, and free milling.
The Merry Monarch Mining company
has got into a fine streak of ore that
runs well in gold. The company has
built a substantial plant with good
machinery and employsa large force
of men, Peter Fransen is the jolliest
man in the camp at present. He sold
a group of claims the price of which
runs into the thousands, to the Gold
Quartz Mining company. Last Satur-
at the '94 tunnel hotel to commemo-
rate his good luck and had a grand
old blow out. Jake Whittier has a
fine vein of ore in his Republican
lode which promises to be a good
property. He has a group of the
claims and they are all good ones
and will prove themselves to be very
profitable shippers. Mr.. B:xler has
resumed work in his Hartford mine
and is now in a large body of good
ore that returns high values in gold
and other minerals. Victor Martin
is the camp photographer as well as
a miner and does a land office busi-
ness. He is also a good mill man.
The Glen Aerie mill is working splen-
didly. There is quite an influx of
people coming into camp looking for
investments and all seem to be well
pleased with the outlook Our school
board is erecting a new school build
ing that will cost $500, and it will be
credit to this community. Among
other Improvements that are going on
is the buildng of a wagon road from
Tolland to Alice. When this is COM
pleted We Will be only five miles
from the Moffat road. We expect al
50 to have a railroad from the same
place. Railroad financiers are now ex-
amining conditions in this camp with
this improvement and accommodation
in view. We have lots of ore to be
shipped from this section and have
one of the best gold camps in the
county. Keno

The death of Captain Pershing In

by many people who had the priv
lege of meeting him here. During q
visit in this city he contracted fol
the Hafer rustic cottage on Pine

count Of sickness. He was a brother
of Brigadier General Jack. J. Per

him to be promoted to, the General

School Days.

The schools of District No. Five
opened up Tuesday morning in ex-
cellent shape. Fresh from the sum
mer vacation, teachers and pupils
have entered upon record breaking
year, their aim being the highest
standard Of efficiency in teaching
and learning. Prof. Neupert returns
among us greatly improved in health
and is demonstrating that kind but
firm discipline of superintendent
that is an inspiration to all with
whom he is associated. Having a
genuine interest in his work, backed
up by a zeal that counts, he will see
that the school year is one that will
be appreciated by each and every
atron. Our schools are in good
hands and each and every department
is successfully superintended. Some
changes are being made In the way o
improvements. This year chemistry
will be taught. This study and phys
les alternate each year and as the
class had physics last year, chemts-
try is now in order. This department
as well as English is under the
charge Of Prof. Ripley and as thor
oughness Is his motto we may expect
the class of 1910 will go out with an
advanced knowledge Of this important
study. His department will be equip
ped with thirty-six chairs with arm
boards in place of the benches used
in his room. When laboratory work
is necessary these can be removed.
Slate blackboards have been placed
In his room as the acids will not al
feet them. In the ellison Gulch. Fall
river, and many rooms in the city
schools the old blackboards are being
replaced as fast as worn out by Hy-
10 plates Of a greenish tinge that Is
soft and pleasant to the eye.

gave surprise party in honor of Miss
Margaret Lynn, who leaves this week
for Greelsy to take up stndies at the

all other branches of the church work.
1t was in order to in q measure show
their appreciation of Miss Lynn's

the church had planned the affair. Her

Rev. Dye Goes to Denver.

Rev w. NJ. Dye, pastor of the Meth
odist church of this city during the
past year will be stationed at Hark-
ness Heights NJ. E. church of Denver
during the ensuing year. This change
was necessitated by the poor health
of Mrs. Dye owing to the high alti-
tude The board of trustees passed
a unanimous vote for his return which
was most gratefully appreciated by
the pastor and he would gladly re-
turn had other healthful conditions
been satisfactory. During his years
residence here he has not only en-
deared himself to the members OF
his congregation but to the public
Always affable, with warm grasp OF
the hand and kind greetings attuned
thereto, his coming and going about
in our midst was attended with the
most cordial welcome. AS a platform
speaker he is interesting, logical,
strong and convincing in his argu-
ments and a gifted speaker. In his
social and church relations he had
very few equals and his administra-
ton OF church affairs were such as
to conduce to the highest order OF
harmony. 1t is stated that his con-
ference year report at the Pueblo con-
ference last week was the best for
many years. He came here with a
floating debt and leaves the church
clear Of such indebtedness. Perhaps
no minister Of any church in the city
has left his charge with more sim
cere and genuine regret ON the part
OF the congregation. than does Mr..
Dye.

improvements Planned.

For sometime there have been ru-
mors of decided improvements to be
made in the Blue Ribbon property.
Owing to litigation and other circum-
stances nothing has been doing at this
valuable place for couple of years
rily adjusted and in short time the
work of renovating, extension and
equipping will be commenced. The
present building will be removed east
of about fifty five feet. On the west
side of the building there will be an
addition built that will cover the
space made vacant by the moving of
the present building. This will make
a commodious structure and when re-
painted and fixed up it will be an or
nament to the town. Both floors will
be furnished with modern bath tubs
and all necessary appliances for thor
ough bathing conditions They will
have parlors, reading and lounging
rooms The upstairs will be used
by ladies and the down stairs for

here. Between our mining and tour
