Safe home at Last,
SHARON, March 23.--Nearly three
hundred persons We're at the Erie de-
pot at Cleveland to see Billy off. The
father and Billy stood on the back
platform of the train. Billy smiled
and waved his hand, while his father
made short speech. The entire trip
to Sharon was a remarkable tribute
to the manly American boy and mer-
lean fatherhood and motherhood.
Whitla held Billy on his lap part
OF the trip. The rest of the time Billy
sat facing his father. They both read
newspaper account of the kidnapping
Billy asked his father to give him a
pin, given to him by tae kidnappers
last night as a souvenir of his eXper-
fences He took the pin proudly and
fastened it to his blouse The pin
had an amethyst setting Whitla said
1T was nice of Billys kidnapper, Mr..
Jones, to give Billy pin, but | real
ly believe could have purchased quite
few like it out of the ten thousand. '
Billy noticed his shoe string unfast-
ened and bending over, fastened 1t in
secure bow. Whitla said: That's
one thing Jones taught Billy Be

Building Hall Road.

Not the slightest doubt remains of
the construction of the Hall road. r.
A. Hall was in the city last Friday,
coming over from the camp on Beaver
creek. He came in quest of men and
informed the Observer that work on
the first five miles of the road will
be pushed from now on. With five
miles of the line completed the road
will receive revenues from a large
amount of business it will be in
position to handle.
Nine or ten men have been work
ing on the grade since the Observer
made the announcement OF the arri-
val of rails and the resumption Of
work. This week thirty additional
teams were put to work and the force
OF men has been greatly increased.
Last week a car Of supplies and pro-
visions were received from Denver
and as soon as a switch is built at
Pactolus the rails which have been
stored in the Denver yards of the
Moffat road will be sent to Pactolus
and the laying of steel will then COM
mence.
A large amount of money for con-
struction work Is now on hand and
money in big sums is being received
every few days. So this insures the
completion Of the line into this city.
If nothing interferes it is expected
that the road will be finished and
operating in Central by the latter
part of winter or the fore part OF
next year.

Mor Electricity,

On tomorrow the United-Hydro
Electric power company will aurn on
the electric juice from their own
plant into the modernly equipped and
magnificently built transformer plant
at the foot OF fifteenth avenue. No
legitimate expense has been withheld
to make this just such plant as is
a pride to this city. The company has
large water plan. at Georgetown
with ample capacity to meet the re-
quirements exceps when the water Is
low. To meet all conditions 1t has
connections with the Central Colorad
power company, the lines Of which
in their extension from Shoshone
Falls, Colorado, to Denver passes just
south of this city. The United Hydro
company distributes electricity in
Clear Creek and Gilpin counties to
The mines and mills thereof as well
as furnishing lights for the towns
within the borders. Of the two coun-
ties. The station here is one Of the
largest and most conveniently con-
structed and equipped in the state.
The work has been done largely un-
der the supervision of J. J. Sherwin

New smelter for Colorado.

The entire force Of engineers, smelt
ing experts and workmen now en-.
gagged in constructing a new smelter
near Salt Lake City for the Inter.
national Smelling and Refining COM
pany will probably be removed to
Colorado to construct a new smelter
as soon as the Utah plant is com.
pleted.
Dennis Sheedy, vice president Of
the new smelling corporation, stated
this morning that a decision would
be reached just as soon as the Utah
work is done.
The entire force Of the company
is now being centered on the Tooele
Valley plant in Utah." said Mr..
Sheedy this morning. Just as soon
as that smelter is completed the On.
tire construction forces will be NOV.
ed to some other point. l think 1t
will be Colorado. but it has not yet
been definitely settled. The location
OF thu next snlelter will come up later
and will be decided just as soon as
the Utah plant is Den.

Electric Cars for c. & s.

OF late the report that the Colo
rado & Southern is going to electrify
certain of its scenic lines has been
so persistently circulated that there
now seems no possible room for doubt
as to the undertaking. The divisions
over which trains will be operated
by electricity according to statements
frequently published are the South
Park and Clear Creek. Plans are vir-
tually completed for the erection of
million dollar power plant at Mill
gulch in the South Platte. The Cen
trail Colorado Power company is to
Clear Creek division. Upon acquiring
the C.. & S. the question of electri-
flying certain mountain lines was the
first to receive the attention of
the Burlington interests. Under the
direction of Frank Trumbull, presi-
dent Of the c. & s., estimates and
plans of the work were made sew
eral years ago. but with hte excep-
tion of the Boulder line which Is now
in operation, the plans were Temporal
rily abandoned. A number OF the
high officials of the railroad company
from the east have been in Denver
lately looking into the proposition
thoroughly and it is highly probable
that within the next year Gilpin
countyites will be going to and from
Denver on elecrtic cars.

Gold Bearing Hen.

Mrs. c. ]. Nicholas, a resident OF
Georgetown and wife of the vice pres
ident of the bank of Clear Creek
county, found five nuggets in the sto-
mach of a chicken which she was
dressing Saturday. She took the mug.
gets to jeweler to see if they really
were gold. The jeweler after making
careful test pronounced them 49,
carat pure and gave the woman
$3.50 for them.
The chicken was raised by VIM.
Aldred who lives near Clear creek
and it is supposed the nuggets were
picked up by the chicken while it was
feeding in the creek bottoms. 1t is
the belief of old-time miners of
Georgetown that there is some
valuable ground in the vicinity of
the Aldred place.
w. s. McGintie, former district
court stenographer and well known
in Central. upon learning Of the dis
covery made by Mrs. Nicholas, Sc
cured a lease and bond from Aldred
upon 300 feet of the creek bed Nc
Gintie will explore the ground this
week. believing that he mas a block
of placer ground that will rival por-
tions of The Klondike. He is en-.
deavoring to secure all the placer
ground within a radius of nine
miles along the creek.

RICH STRIKE
IN GREGORY

strike which has been the talk
of the whole county, was made In
the Gregory crosscut of the Fifty
Corporation last week. Eighteen in
ches of solid copper iron was opened
up, alongside of which is 31s feet of
mill dirt. The ore runs away up.
The crosscut was run 600 feet from
the Cook shaft and while good ore
was struck some time ago entrance
into the large shoot was only made
last week. The extent of the ore de-
post can be understood when it Is
stated that there are 325 feet of
backs. This same ore shoot above
contained ore which was really pic
ture stuff. much of it running as high
as 100000 to the ton. This is the
richest pocket in the mine and has
always carried wonderful values from
grass roots down.
They are just coming into the ore
chute in the east drift and in the
west drift there is five feet Of pay
mill dirt. Both drifts are improv-
ing daily. The dirt is all coming in.
to the Fifty mill and the iron is be-
ing sorted for the smelters.
The shoot encountered in the cross
cut will eclipse the shoot that the
company has been working in the
Bobtail. 1t is the intention of the
Fifty people to start sinking in the
Cook shaft the first of August. A
lift of 200 feet will be sunk. There
is an enormous amount of rich ground
below the bottom of the shaft. A
winze has been sunk the entire depth
which the Cook will be deepened,
showing a continuous shoot.
The output Of mill dirt from the
Fifty workings continues heavy. This
week retort weighing over 2O9 oun-
ces and worth $4,000 was sold to the
Rocky Mountain bank. This was from
a ten days cleanup.
