Baxter. Mr.. Kingsley will at
once interest few capitalists and
start two drills to develope the
balance of his holdings.

Local people who do not attend the
productions of the Aloha dramatic club
do not know what they are missing. The
two plays placed on the boards were
each of high degree, and those who
have enjoyed both performances are
at loss to decide as to the superior
merits between the two. The two pro-
ductions were of very different char
acter, SO that comparisons are out of
the question, but those who attended
each are of the opinion that the last
performance, that of "David Garrick"
was the best yet attempted. A more
evenly apportioned cast has never be-
fore been presented to local audience
for each character represented left
nothing to be nesired. To individual
ize would be out of the question, and
while the participants are all well
known to our people, their identity
was entirely lost sight of by the por-
trayal of the character which they rep
resented. The club has now in prepar-

Work on the property of the Memphis
and Idaho Springs Mining company is
progressing in a very commendable
manner under the practical manage
ment of Charles H. Fuller, the super
intendent at the Mines The Bellman
lateral is being driven from the New
house tunnel at an average of four feet
per day and the work is kept moving
all the time. The old workings from the
surface down have been cleaned out
preparatory to leasing. A drift is being
driven east of the shaft on the four
hundred foot level. The Old Road tun-
mel has also been cleaned out and re-
tracked and equipped with car, tools etc,
so that leasers can begin working there
in. 1t was from this tunnel that large
quantities of good Shipping ore were TAX
en- over twenty years ago and it is now
expected that the same conditions will
prevail in the future only on larger
and more profitable scale. While the
precious metals are absolutely necess-
ary for profitable mine, it is also nee
essary to have some one in charge who
knows how to open up and manage a
mine so as to bring the best results and
the Memphis Idaho Springs company
have such man in Mr.. Fuller.

Hon. w. A. Fleming Jones, U. S.
Commissioner with headquarters at
Las Cruces, New Mexico, has been
spending several days in and around
Idaho Springs and was very much
pleased with his visit in the mountains.
In his positions he represents the
Federal court in considering questions
pertaining to smuggling between Mex
leo and this country and in the DISPOSE
ton of many cases Of infringement of
the revenue laws. The Judge is very
affable and polished gentleman, one
with whom it is a special pleasure to
associate. 1t has been suggested that
in admitting New Mexico as a state
that the name be changed. He is
opposed to this and justly so. This
country was known as New Mexico be-
fore its annexation as a part of this
country and its name is one of the
prominent landmarks that should re-
main. The change of this to some other
would be a shame and no doubt
those whose lives have been associated
with the territory so many decades
will enter a most vigorous protest
against this species of national icon o.
clasm.
